Character/s: Arthur, Merlin, the knights
Summary: Merlin exists to drive Arthur to distraction. Arthur is sure of it.
Warnings: Crossdressing! Which should be more of an incentive than a warning.
Word Count: 809
Prompt: #71 Despair
Author's Notes: Oh look, it's not the Frozen Stars verse! This is meant to be humorous, which is the reason I am giving for it being a bit slap-dash. There might be a part 2 with more sex.
