Deny Thy Father, byarineat.
R, ~26600, Modern AU, When Arthur refuses to marry the woman his father has picked out for him, he loses everything; job, his status and the only life he's ever known.

Oscillate Wildly, bysuntipped
NC-17, 11,362 words, Modern AU, Fucking Arthur, he thinks, pushing his head against the seat. It’s not so much that he’s breaking promises left and right by bringing up that thing between them in public again; it's just his ever-irritating sense of entitlement.

Driving Lessons, byhermette
NC-17, 7k, Modern AU, It's bad enough that Arthur is going to have to get a stupid fucking stats tutor because he spends all of his lectures staring at the back of Merlin's neck and wondering what sort of noises he'd make if Arthur scraped his teeth against all that pale skin.

Accidents Will Happen, by lilithilien
NC-17, 3000 words, It isn't like Bradley hasn't thought about it. A lot. It's more that the timing's never right, that at first he's still reeling from a nasty split with Michelle, that he isn't even sure he's that into guys. Besides, he has no clue which side Colin comes down on, and he really doesn't want things to get weird between them... Valid excuses, all. In the end, not one of them matters.
