Day 16: Rotrude, daughter of Charlemagne. As a child, she was engaged to Constantine VI, the son of Byzantine Empress Irene Sarantapechaina, and educated by a Greek monk. The betrothal fell through, and she never married as Charlemagne then forbade all his daughters from marrying in order to prevent any claimants to the throne. Still, she was allowed to take lovers and have children, and she was very well educated and a counselor to her father.

Rotrude
Slaves – Rec List for Merlin Bingo
This is a rec list for the square ‘Slaves’ on Merlin Bingo and should finally complete a line. I’ve listed a long fic, a mid-sized one and a short one.
Gadarene by Unpossible
https://archiveofourown.org/works/362891/chapters/589296
This is a canon au, a long fic and well worth a read but do heed the warnings.
Arthur is prone to fits of madness (known as the mad prince of Camelot) and so is forced to share power with his uncle ‘for the good of the kingdom’. Of course it is anything but.
This is a compassionate Arthur who takes Merlin as his slave in order to protect Merlin from Kanen. There’s a lovely slow burn romance. It’s a fandom classic for a reason.
Viking’s Slave by Rotrude
https://archiveofourown.org/works/440290
Rotrude’s historical aus are always a satisfying read. This one is a 35k Viking au where Arthur is a Jarl, the king’s son. He finds Merlin having his virginity auctioned out and decides to buy him. Merlin doesn’t speak the language and things don’t go well once Arthur’s got him home. Again there is a slow romance as Arthur gains Merlin’s affection, but the plot continues with added twists beyond that.
Crown of Thorns by Schweet Heart
https://archiveofourown.org/works/7901902
This is just under 1000 words and was written for Pornalot. Arthur is the slave in this one, but there’s nothing subservient about him (not that there is about Merlin either in the previous two). Merlin is the son of the druid leader who has defeated Camelot. He’s given Arthur as a slave. It’s an interesting little story squeezed into such a small word count and it leaves you wishing that there was a much longer fic.
Vârcolac
words by rotrude, art by LFB72
Summary: 1740, Young Queen Maria Theresa of Austria sends Hauptmann Arthur Pendrachen and Leutnant Oberarzt Merlin Emriß to Transylvania, currently belonging to the Austrian Crown, with the task of dissuading the locals from believing in legends and myths that are archaic, provincial and frankly absurd. This is the Century of Philosphers, the Age of Enlightment and the state must spread rationality and scientific thinking all around! In short Pendrachen and Emriß are to drive some sense into those credulous peasants who still believe in the undead, also known as vârcolaci, moroi -- vampires.It all starts to plan, but their journey journey ends up being fraught with less Enlightment and more peril than they'd wagered for.

Summary: King Uther Pendragon can't abide commoners when it comes to his children's matrimonial prospects. His daughter Morgana, somewhat notorious for her wilfulness, doesn't exactly see it that way and starts parading her new holiday conquest, philosophy student Merlin Emrys, around. It's a liaison, King Uther thinks, that must be put a stop to. He enrolls his son, Arthur, in his efforts to nip the relationship in the bud. Everything's allowed as long as the Royal Household doesn't have to deal with Emrys for long. What he can't foresee is Arthur's reaction to the man.

Summary: Merlin has been pining for Arthur, the guy occupying the office across from his, from more than a year now. It's admittedly a little sickening. He's much more forthright than that. Usually. When he's not in love. And anyway he really means to take his courage in his hands and ask him out, the more so since the upcoming office Christmas Party would be the perfect venue for a first date. But baring one's heart is not so easy.
