Summary
In the cold and shadowed streets of late 1800s Camelot, Gwaine works until his hands bleed. He is a man drowning in debt, grief and ale, seeking any job that might quiet his thoughts. The town is a stranger to him, filled with ghosts and fog, offering little more than bruised knuckles and sleepless nights. Until one night he meets a man unlike any other.
Hiding in his old manor, in the town that made him the creature he was, Merlin lives a careful life, veiling his true self from the world. But when a reckless dock worker crosses his path, bleeding and unafraid, Merlin finds his control slipping.
Or: the one where a centuries-old vampire and a tired, hopeless man fall in love in the Victorian era

Summary
When Gwaine finds out he's pregnant, he isn't sure what scares him more: carrying a child or becoming somebody's father. Over the next nine months, he and Merlin navigate doctors, dysphoria, baby names, nursery paint, financial worries, found family and the terrifying reality that a tiny person is about to depend on them for everything.
Or: Merlin and Gwaine are having a baby.

Summary
After a long evening of measured words and quiet scrutiny, Queen Guinevere finds herself carrying more than she is willing to show.
And when a difficult council meeting leaves her with more doubt than certainty, it is Gwaine who finds her in the quiet of the night, and Gwaine who offers her something no one else can: a few stolen hours in which she is simply Gwen.

Summary
This time, unlike the radical intensity of the times before, there was only a ripple that managed to surge through him. A desperate cry as his body once more convulsed in waves. Blood singing despite the toll his body was taking, roaring enough to block out every other sound for just a second. A plea falling from his cracked lips as nothing but tiny drops stained the torso rubbing up against his own. Tears, gorged on pain and pleasure travelling a well defined path down his features to settle amongst the grass and clover beneath his back.
i.e This is why we stay away from Fairy circles... Well, it's a reason... maybe a reason to go find them as well, IDK what you do in your free time is none of my business.

Summary
"Gwaine..."
"Mm?"
"Tell me this isn't just some Christmas spirit thing you're doing to make yourself feel better."
"I'm not festive enough to do much of anything in the name of Christmas spirit. Especially not setting an alarm at 6am when I don't have to.
Paramedic Gwaine takes a leap of faith.
