Expanded upon my previous @merthurmicrofic and ended up writing a one shot!

“Lords and Ladies of Camelot and of Avalon,” Geoffrey proclaimed, “we are gathered here today to celebrate the union of Prince Arthur Pendragon of Camelot, and Prince Merlin Emrys of Avalon through the ancient rite of hand-fasting. Do you, Arthur, of your own free will, wish to become one with this man?”
Arthur felt the brush of Merlin’s hand against his own, a fleeting touch that would not be noticed by any of the crowd, nor by their Fathers. He knew, somehow, that it was not an accident. It was intended to soothe him, to provide some comfort.
“I do,” Arthur answered.
Or,
Merlin and Arthur get arranged married and have gay sex about it.
