Fics like 'Til Fate Brings You Home

“Merlin,” Arthur asks, tilting his head curiously as he soaks in the tub, finger absently caressing the mark painted onto his skin where his shoulder and neck meet. “Why do you never show your soulmark?” Merlin doesn’t look at him when he answers, just focuses on plucking dirty tunics from the floor. “You don’t show your soulmark either, sire.” Arthur huffs. “That’s not the same. I can’t. But if I weren’t the prince of Camelot, I would be showing it off everywhere. Most people do. Aren’t you worried you won’t find your soulmate?” *** Arthur has always been proud of his soulmark, has always known that when his forever came along they would be remarkable. Merlin has kept himself so modestly covered since arriving in Camelot that Arthur can't help but be curious about the mark he must be hiding... until Merlin tells him that he's Unmarked. But then Merlin becomes injured and unconscious, torn cloth at his neck, and Arthur pulls it aside to view the wound--and finds his matching soulmark instead.
