God, this was delicious. I love slutty!Merlin as someone who's never been faithful to his wives because he's never felt the way he should for them. The whole tangent about all the things he wouldn't do to Arthur was so sweet, and I love the background given here, and when and how this takes place. The fact that Arthur comes out once he decides his political career is over is so realistic and I love that everyone seemed to know except Merlin. And this: “Thank God,” Arthur says distinctly, but his eyes are wild. “I've been waiting to do that since 1964.”
“We met in 1964,” Merlin says, feeling Arthur's hands shaking against his chest.
“You're such a moron,” Arthur says, his face a mess of affection and condescension.
