Bringing Up Baby is a short Merlin story by oxoniensis.
Summary: "One minute Merlin's there, riding (like a sack of turnips) next to Arthur. The next— It's a very good thing Arthur has good reflexes."
In this story Merlin is temporarily turned into a baby and Arthur hides him in his room to take care of him. As a baby, Merlin of course doesn't hide his magic and this is how Arthur finds out.
trolleys made fanart for the story that shows Arthur and baby Merlin.[1]
Recs and Reviews
Fic:
- "Arthur, Merlin. OneShot. Something's happened to turn Merlin into a baby. Arthur's never particularly cared for babies..."[2]
- "Oh goodness. I don't think I stopped giggling throughout this entire story. Hilarious! One of the best laughs I've had in a while. Baby Merlin is positively adorable and Arthur's reaction is positively priceless!"[3]
- "I loved the scene with the food and the image of Arthur rocking baby!Merlin made my heart melt! Also, this has to be one of the most unique ways for Arthur-finding-out-about-the-magic that I have read. Really fun and wonderfully angst-free."[4]
Fanart:
- "Chubby baby Merlin being held affectionately by Arthur whose shoulders look amazingly sexy."[5]
- "I love Merlin's bright eyes and sticking-out!ears and Arthur's soft expression while still being so very much Arthur!like."[6]
- "That is just the most adorable sight! Especially the way Arthur's cradling Merlin's head, and Merlin grabbing at Arthur's chin and his chubby little grin. Gorgeous!!!"[7]
