Someone being naked makes them do it

[marguerite_26]

It’s Friday. Time for a comment fest writing experiment thingy, I think.

While we were editing Four in the Morning, magnolia822, xsmoonshine and I were chatting about how we could have an entire fest based on “SOMEONE BEING NAKED MADE THEM DO IT.”

And since it’s Friday and I’m looking for a reason not to write the fic I’m working on right now, let’s do this.

All fandoms and pairings welcome.*
Leave a prompt with a pairing, including (if you like) who/why/how (re: the nudity).

Both art and fic are always welcome for fills.

Nudity can be interpreted as you like. There are no must-be-bare-arsed police here. Just as long as at least one character is ~exposed (voluntary or not) during the fic.

*If you prompt for Avengers, please warn for spoilers.

Part 1.2


Finally Merlin just tugs the lacing in frustration and it gives in with the zipping sound of cloth being ripped apart. The dress falls into a heap around Merlin’s feet as Arthur chuckles at such blatant inability to undress himself.

The chuckle is stuck half-out of Arthur’s mouth as Merlin looks back confused by the sound and his shoulderblades suddenly appear to be sharp and fragile-looking and that fair skin, all of its milky smooth surface, gleams in the candlelight like a precious jewel. Arthur’s gazing at Merlin’s narrow shoulders, his hands which look like they never knew any kind of truly hard work, his slender hips, his legs so impossibly long and strong like those of a colt of a noble breed. Merlin’s shining in the twilight of the room, all of him apart from the black hair which seems to be absorbing the light, and Arthur can’t take his eyes off this long lean body that shouldn’t be considered beautiful by any canon he knows but still is, undeniably and devastatingly so.

“Hey, you wanted something, mr Pratness-In-Flesh?” asks Merlin clearly irritated and Arthur suspects it’s not the first time the quiestion is asked and the previous times it night have been slightly more polite than that.

“Well, yes,” says Arthur. “I wished to say that your performance tonight was,” he makes a pause to see if Merlin’s anticipating the answer but Merlin is still irritated and nothing more, “quite good indeed.”

Merlin blinks at the praise as if he didn’t know he’d deserved it or just didn’t think he’d get it from Arthur.

“Oh. Really? I mean… thanks.” He smiles so sincerely that Arthur cannot resist the urge to smile back.

“I expect you to put as much effort to any other plays you will take part in,” he adds. An owner and an enigmatic playwright must uphold his reputation. Merlin smiles even wider. “Also you might want to put some clothes on,” Arthur suggests somewhat regretfully as the voices of other actors start to approach.

Merlin looks down at himself realizing that this whole time he’s been almost totally naked in front of Arthur and deep, pinkish blush spreads quickly over his cheeks, ears and neck. Arthur wonders what this blushing neck tastes like – is it hot under one’s tongue, does that thin light blue vein throb feverishly when licked with certain pressure?

Maybe he sould find out some day.

Some day soon.

Oh! I love Arthur's flowers words as he stands gawking at Merlin, only to have Merlin cut through that with “Hey, you wanted something, mr Pratness-In-Flesh?”

LOL!

This is so lovely. I hope you decide to write more of it. :)

Merlin knows to say the right words at the right moment )))
Glad you liked it! I think I might write some more later today if I'm not too tired for anything. It feels lovely to write it, too :)

Oh thank you, thank you, for filling this! This made me very happy. I love Arthur sneaking in to watch, Merlin playing Ophelia and the description of him as Arthur finds him backstage. Lovely!

(any chance of a continuation?)

I'm so glad you liked it! It's always very satisfying to be able to make the prompter happy with your fill :)
Oh, there's a chance, a big one I think, though I didn't plan to add anything yesterday but there's a temptation and I'm really bad at resisting such things.

Arthur's admiration of the performance supplanting his own desire to feed on the audience's admiration of his words was wonderful. He's already entranced by Merlin and watching the boy fumble with his costume didn't quell that admiration a bit. I laughed when Merlin cut right through Arthur ardour by insulting him and being all prickly. Prickly and nearly naked!

I hope you do continue this one day. I'd love to watch Arthur try to pursue this twig. I'm sure the man of many words would be tongue tied and insulting and rub Merlin the wrong way right up 'til he rubs him the right way!

It's very hard not to be entranced by Merlin, I suppose Arthur didn't have much chance here from the moment he saw Merlin on stage! And Merlin being prickly just makes him more attractive, I'd even say attracting, like he has gravitation of the kind the Earth has or something.

I hope I will as well! I think it would be wonderful with Arthur not able to find the words to get him what he wants for the first time in his life :)

That's fantastic, very sensual, and your words are really lovely to read. Thank you! I'd definitely read more of this! It was beautiful.

Re: Merlin/Arthur theater AU - Arthur sees Merlin changing out of his women's costume

[marink1485.livejournal.com]

Thank you! With each comment hinting about some possible continuation the temptation to write it grows, I should say, and the wish to give in does as well :)

You really should give in. Everyone will win and there will be rainbows and unicorns. Think of us like hungry little urchins, begging please, I want some more. :D

Re: Merlin/Arthur theater AU - Arthur sees Merlin changing out of his women's costume

[marink1485.livejournal.com]

The rainbows and unicorns pro argument is a really low blow, how can one resist something like this? :D And the word "urchin"made me think of Arthur suggesting that Merlin was a street urchin since he's so rude, uneducated and generally stupid and Merlin truly offensed by this casual snobbish remark. Argh, it looks like it's eating my brain already.

CHOMP CHOMP WRITE ME CHOMP

Re: Merlin/Arthur theater AU - Arthur sees Merlin changing out of his women's costume

[marink1485.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's pretty much what's going on inside my head right now :D OK, I give in, I have to save whatever's left of my brain from devouring, I'll write more, definitely ))) But later today, I have some things to do first and I gotta figure out the direction I'd like to choose for the story as there are several in my mind.

*inserts tongue in cheek* I can't imagine anything else being as important as this, but you seem to have trouble with priorities, so. I *suppose* it will have to do.

Re: Merlin/Arthur theater AU - Arthur sees Merlin changing out of his women's costume

[marink1485.livejournal.com]

That's what I call good skill of leadership, what can I say - you have me trapped and in a hurry to do the things I'm doing after half an hour of conversation :D though I'll be thinking of the story in the meanwhile anyway, I really have to narrow down the list of possible directions, so my priorities aren't a lost cause )))

The moment when Merlin realizes he is naked is adorable :D

Re: Merlin/Arthur theater AU - Arthur sees Merlin changing out of his women's costume

He couldn't be bothered about his clothes, he was too busy talking to Arthur - no wonder he got all flustered :D

Re: Merlin/Arthur theater AU - Arthur sees Merlin changing out of his women's costume

[archaeologist-d.livejournal.com]

Loved how Merlin insults him. Also loved that Arthur wanted him in more plays while trying not to think about licking him. Great job.

Thank you! I'm glad I managed to do this dynamics of theirs right :)
