Arthur/Merlin, modern AU, Arthur is in the closet and in denial of his homosexuality until he meets Merlin.

So, I was aiming to keep this one short and come up with a good title, but it doesn't look like either of those things are working out. Ah well ( ... )

They run into each other at school before the week is out, but the restless bustle and the small, but significant, difference in their ages allows for only the briefest of greetings.

A casual bump of shoulders, a half-friendly, half-tentative wave or two, and then the first week of the autumn term is over. Arthur finds himself wondering, then hoping, if he'll see Merlin on Sunday. So we can catch up, he tells himself. See how he's settling in.When Merlin sidles up to him after church that week, he feels nauseous with relief ( ... )

'Who's that new boy at church?' Uther asks over breakfast one morning. Arthur suspects that he knows already, and he's just testing him for a reaction he's better off not knowing about ( ... )

The following week, Reverend Aredian gives a sermon on what he terms as sexual deviance, and Arthur doesn't have to look to know that his father will be nodding along to every word. Arthur fidgets, a stranger in his own skin, as he listens to the reverend's increasingly strident denouncements. He's more than familiar with the subject matter. Uther has delivered the same lecture countless times at home; it's one of the few occasions when he will talk about Arthur's mother, though only as a peripheral character in a tale of the perils of moral turpitude ( ... )

Ooh, this is fantastic. I got so swept up in the story! The hints of dimensionality you gave Uther are great, and I love your Arthur. You write his inner struggles to adjust and accept now Merlin's on the scene so well. Looking forward to more of this, anon <3

Holy crap - this is possibly one of the most perfect things I've read in forever. You've done a breathtakingly wonderful job setting up the whole story, the characters, Arthur's insecurity, Uther's hypocritical ways translated excellently from canon into the modern world - all of it. I am so in love with this story, and I hope there's more soon ♥ ♥

Thank you for your comments! Just a short update today.Sometimes, when Uther has a bit too much to drink, he tells Arthur that he's all he's got and he's a lucky man to have a son that he can be so proud of ( ... )

It doesn't seem like any time at all until it's the last day of term, and they're heading out of the school gate with Morgana, Elena and a couple of their friends. Arthur is dreading the holidays; he still doesn't see Merlin much at school, but he's grown used to him being there. It's only now, that it's about to be taken away, that he realises exactly how much his presence has come to mean to him.

'What are you doing for New Years?' Arthur asks, as they fall back, momentarily, from the others.

'Nothing, probably,' Merlin says, and they walk along side by side, elbows almost touching. 'What about you?'

Elena who is, Arthur always thinks, much more stable on a horse, leans back and nearly goes flying in her effort to join their conversation. 'Why don't you come to the village hall with us, if you've got nothing better to do?' she says, slipping between him and Merlin, and linking arms with both of them. 'It's not the most exciting thing in the world, but Arthur gets to take me every year.'

'Elena's your date?' Merlin asks, ( ... )
