Summary
Arthur is the perfect flatmate -- he pays his rent on time, works so much that he’s not even home half the time, and is totally okay with Merlin’s magic. Best of all, Merlin is pretty sure that Arthur has a crush on him -- that is, until he stumbles across a list of things that Arthut hates about him.
Merlin is upset of course, but he pushes aside his feelings to focus on being a better roommate so that Arthur will renew their lease for another year. Most of the things on the list aren’t that hard to correct … so how come Arthur seems to get more and more annoyed as Merlin improves his behaviour?

Summary
Merlin get's reincarnated (rather than being immortal), and so does nearly everyone else who died those 1500 years ago. Except Arthur.
Until now!
----
('Merlin knew something was wrong with him as soon as he learnt how to talk. He just really hoped it wasn't a mental affliction.See, it was the twenty-first century. Obviously. And Merlin knew that. But his mind… didn't.')
---
('Merlin was about to lay down on the sand, let his thoughts wander, when a gold glint caught his eye.Excalibur?!
Merlin scrambled up and stepped one foot into the water. It was freezing cold, but he couldn't pay attention to that.
Arthur's sword was right there– floating in the middle of the lake. It dipped and started to sink.
“Wait!”')

Summary
When Uther banishes Arthur from Camelot, Arthur is certain it's the end of him and everything he had to offer to the world.
Enter Merlin and the ragtag group of misfits he and Arthur collect on an adventure that takes them across the entire kingdom. Grappling with who he is now and who he will become, Arthur embarks on a journey of self-discovery, friendship, fate, and what it truly means to be a king of prophecy.
“Merlin??”
Merlin drops the reins and spins around, “Arthur!”
Merlin beams. Arthur’s eye twitches.
“What, exactly, are you doing here?”
Merlin makes a face, “What does it look like? I stole some horses.” His lip quirks up, “And some of cook’s pies. But that was just because she’s been such a harpy all this time and she deserved it.”

Summary
Never in his royal tutelage was he told what to do when slimy, slithering men insinuate that he seeks company that isn’t his husband. Why did no one think to prepare him for this?
“Your silence betrays your guilt, Pendragon,” Rodreck grins, and then raises his hands in placation. “Don’t worry, we certainly won’t tell. It’s only natural to have a few sweet things tucked away. A squire here, a stableboy there, a handful of whores when the mood calls for it.”
And finally, Arthur has had enough.
.
In which Arthur has to sit through yet another feast when he would rather be with Merlin, only this one is made much worse when his guests begin asking questions about his consort, and then about his loyalty to said consort. What follows after the feast is a collapse onto the bed as Arthur spends the rest of his night in Merlin’s arms.

Summary
Loneliness is an insidious thing. When Merlin looks at Arthur, he sees not just a prince waiting for his time to rule, but a young man struggling to find his place in the world, with little help from anyone else.
The truth is, Arthur needs more than the friendship Merlin can offer. He needs people he can trust: men and women who will become his court and his confidants, and if he is going to survive to take the throne and lead Camelot into its golden age, he needs them sooner rather than later.
Finding loopholes in Uther’s laws is no easy feat. Court life is a dangerous game, but it’s one Merlin has every intention of winning so that Arthur can have knights of his choosing by his side.
And then there is the matter of his magic…

Summary
"Really?" Arthur asked, brushing the dirt off of him as he glowered at the man. "Again? I had it under control - and we aren't allies!" He added heatedly. Balinor shrugged, looking nonplussed by Arthur's anger as he stroked the dragon's wing.
"I know." Balinor said simply. "But I promised my son I wouldn't let you die."
"Your...You have a son?" Arthur demanded. Again, Balinor shrugged. "Why does your son...? Nevermind. Don't save me again!" He snapped, pointing a finger at the man. He turned to stalk back to the horse only for a column of fire to blow past him. The prince jumped. He spun around to tell the man off again but immediately noticed one of the remaining bandits who had been slowly creeping towards him burnt to a crisp. He looked back at Balinor.
"Sorry."
Or
Balinor lives. Arthur will do pretty much anything to get the man to stop saving his life.

Summary
Arthur has traveled to sign a treaty of friendship with other kingdoms, when he realizes they've intended to set him up to marry as well. He doesn't want to marry for the sake of marrying, so he pulls a clumsy, crowned Merlin in with false talk that they married quietly.

Summary
“I’m sorry, there must be a mistake.” Uther furrows his brows. “That is my son’s manservant.”
“This is Emrys, the most powerful sorcerer who will ever walk the earth. It is our deepest honor to be able to offer his hand to your son.”
“Merlin?” Arthur asks, looking across the hall. Merlin looks the palest and the smallest Arthur has ever seen him. He looks like a scared animal that knows it’s about to be trapped, and that’s when it clicks for Arthur that no part of this is a joke. None of it. “Merlin, what are they talking about?”

Summary
It had been a year or so now, since the magic ban had been reversed, months since Merlin became Court Sorcerer. And a few more weeks since Merlin's injury.
Arthur had finally given Merlin the Court-Sorcerer chambers he was promised, that just happened to be down the hall from the kings own .
Arthur would insist this was not on purpose, but everyone had seen them around the castle, holding and kissing each others hands, teasing each other as usual but with the addition of grinning at each other.
There had been a shift in their relationship, and it meant they were more protective of each other than usual. If it wasn't terrifying, it would probably be sweet.
But of course this is Camelot, not everything can stay perfect for too long. Destiny would never allow it.
---------------------------
A continuation from the previous fic in this series. (read if you want context for Merlin's injury or their realtionship, but not needed)Merlin and Arthur begin courting, Merlin knows nothing about noble courting rules, Arthur will do anything to protect Merlin.

Summary
“I think today it’s finally about time to tell you the greatest love story there is.”
Gareth grimaces. “Eeeh, love. I don’t want to hear a boring love story. I want a story about knights and dragons and magic-”
His sister interrupts him. “That’s because you are too young to understand anything about love, silly,” she says with as much seriousness in her voice a six-year old can muster. Merlin shares a smile with Arthur and ruffles through Gareth’s hair.
“The story is not only about love, Gar,” he then promises his son, “It’s as much about adventure and fights and friendship and knights and torture and evil kings and betrayal and a lot of magic.”Or, when Arthur kidnapps the crown prince Merlin from Emrys he expects an evil sorcerer instead of a clumsy, kind, (and strangely handsome) boy who constantly insults him.
Will Merlin manage to change Arthur's opinion about magic and stop Uther Pendragon from conquering his own kingdom?- Language:
