katikat"So Are They All, All Honourable Men" by Seperis | Arthur/Merlin | H/c, humor | Considering Arthur's future wife will be chosen less for compatibility than for her political value, Merlin may be the only marriage he'll have that won't end in bloodshed or a great deal of fortifying wine. | ~18.000 words
This fic has it all: hilarious humor, hurt/comfort and most of all, protective!Arthur. My first Merlin fic read and I'm smitten, smitten, I'm telling ya *_*
Normal people (i.e., Arthur) express temper in ways that make *sense*--and also emphasize that they are, in fact, angry. Throwing things, stomping, killing several large, dangerous forest creatures--they cleanse the spleen and clear the mind, leaving one refreshed (or so they say). And they're *visible*. So no one calls anyone insane when one says "My manservant's current exemplary service is a petty temper tantrum and I'm heartily sick of clean clothes and efficient cleaning. Make it stop."
