Also, a friendly reminder that the [livejournal.com profile] help_japan auction is still going on, but not for much longer. If you are interested in bidding on one of my stories, or any of the other wonderful things on offer, please check it out.

Merlin snuck into the room as quietly as he could, setting down the unnecessary linens as soon as he realized the room was truly empty and the farce was not needed. He found the parchment Arthur had been so apt to hide every time he even breathed in his direction poking out of a drawer, the red ribbon around it clearly identifying it. Whatever it was, it had to be good.

He gently undid the knot and unrolled it, memorizing just how it was sitting so he could replace it when finished. He laid it out on the table and quickly skimmed its contents.

His eyes grew wide at what he found and he was unable to prevent the shocked words that fell from his lips. “Porn? He wrote porn? About us?”

There was the scuff of a boot and Merlin whipped around to find Arthur ducking out from behind the dressing screen. “Think of it as more of a wish list?” the prince smiled hopefully.

Merlin swallowed heavily and rolled the parchment again, affixing the ribbon in its place. He handed it to Arthur and said, “The second paragraph seems unfeasible. We better try it twice to make sure.”
