Merlin Fic: The Care & Feeding Of Unicorns - Merlin/Arthur - PG-13 - part 1/2

Banging my head against the wall on Out Of Bounds, I gave myself a night off to write something a little easier. I'm posting the next part of Out Of Bounds tonight to assuage my guilt.

Also, since we're testing www.archiveofourown.org, I feel duty bound to post something that's only available there.


Title: The Care & Feeding Of Unicorns (part one of two)
Author: Icarus
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Summary: Merlin wondered what Arthur knew of unicorn lore, but the glint in Arthur's eyes as he glanced from Merlin to the unicorn answered that. Arthur's smile became a warm smirk.
Notes: Thank you to my enablers, lavvyan and amothea (and to sarka for offering). I'm posting the next part of Out Of Bounds tonight to assuage my guilt.

( Merlin wondered what Arthur knew of unicorn lore, but the glint in Arthur's eyes as he glanced from Merlin to the unicorn answered that. Arthur's smile became a warm smirk. )

ETA: Typo in summary. Sigh.

Title: Out Of Bounds
Author: Icarus
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: John/Rodney
Summary: The competition season begins. "The Regional Championship had the tacky aura of a children's birthday party."
A/N: Thank you to my intrepid and tireless betas, rabidfan and roaringmice.

Previously in Out Of Bounds: Known more for his jumps than his artistry, figure skater John Sheppard hires ex-skating champion and "artiste" Rodney McKay to be his coach. Their teasing friendship warms into something more. After John's injury, an intense summer training, new choreography, and (unfortunately) dreadful costumes, the competition season begins.
