Summary
“Do you have scales?” Arthur asks. “Wings?”
The cow at Merlin’s side begins munching on the heads of his handful of wheat.
“Oh, I see," he says, "You’re an oaf."
“What did you call me?”
“An oaf. A pumpkin short of its seeds. A turnip with no greens or roots.”
“How dare you.”
“Quite plainly, I thought, but I suppose given your intelligence or lack thereof, I might have been more direct the first time.”
Arthur draws himself up to his full height, aghast.
“You,” he says. “Are the strangest, most repulsive hatchling I have ever met, and I should like nothing more than to escape your company immediately.”
(Pride & Prejudice AU - Lady Ygraine asks her dear friend Lady Nimueh to help her children get off their asses and strike out into the marriage market. With her help, Arthur soon finds himself introduced to a mysterious, magical man who calls himself a botanist.)

Arthur chuckles and stands up straight to appreciate the vines climbing around the glass walls and subtle, languid motions of a self-propelled fan in corner behind the door.
“An orangery with no oranges,” he says.
“My father warned me against citrus,” Merlin says. “They’re bad for dragons. They eat the pips. Grapes, too.”
With smears of pear-juice staining his apron and frizzy curls rising from his coal-black hair and the color of the misted glass in his eyes, he’s never looked so at ease.
So genuinely happy.
He notices Arthur staring and tilts his head in question.
“Not bad, is it?” he asks.
“You’re beautiful,” Arthur says, then nearly chokes. “IT,” he says. “It’s beautiful.”
Merlin laughs.
“I’m glad you think so,” he says. “Here, let me help you get started. I’ll show you everything. Come. Come.”
