Summary
Arthur has only had three whiskies, but he feels drunk on Emrys, his touch, his taste. The music pulses around them, and he loses himself to sensation. He couldn’t say if it had been ten minutes or several hours by the time Emrys pulls back, his lips bruised and shining, and gives him a look.
“D’you wanna—?” he asks, and Arthur doesn’t even think before replying.
“Yeah, sure, anything,” he says, and he doesn’t care one bit how desperate he sounds.Series

Summary
"So, you said Gaius sent you here? What seems to be the problem, then?”
Deciding that bluntness is probably the best approach, Arthur gets right to the point. “I have Hanahaki disease.”
If he wasn’t, for all intents and purposes, dying, he thinks, it would almost be funny how Merlin’s already pale skin drains of colour completely at those words. It makes him look like he’s the one with a deadly illness, not Arthur.Series

Summary
A hand reached for his forearm, and Arthur whirled around, only to discover none other than the strange man from the restaurant standing in front of him, face flushed and panting slightly.
“You just left,” the man complained between breaths. “You can’t do that, it’s really bad form to leave your husband behind like that!”
Arthur felt like he’d stepped through the looking glass. He couldn’t have heard that correctly, could he? For a second there, it had almost sounded as if the man had referred to himself as Arthur’s husband, which was ridiculous, of course. He’d never even seen the man before, and he certainly hadn’t married him.Series

Summary
Vampires can’t faint, but it certainly feels like this might be a first. It takes all of Arthur’s considerable control to remain sitting in his seat in the back row, but even so, he finds that his hands are shaking.
How is this possible? How can he be here, after all these centuries? He must have died eons ago—Arthur knows, has counted the years until even a long-lived man would’ve been dead, has mourned what had never been his to keep in the first place…Series

Summary
The characters in Roger More’s books would never have trouble asking out their unreasonably attractive neighbour. They’d come up with something witty to say on the spot, or stumble on the stairs only to land fetchingly in their crush’s arms, and two chapters later they’d be fucking.
If only Arthur had one ounce of their romantic abilities…
Hold on.
An idea pops up in Arthur’s mind, complete with flashing neon lights.
Before he can listen to the rational part of his brain, which insists that this is a terrible, awful, no-good idea, he’s already typing. Roger More probably gets hundreds of asks per week, he tells himself, so chances are he won’t even read this one, let alone reply. And even if he does, what could possibly be the harm?Series

Summary
“We have to do what now?!”
Arthur carefully placed his empty goblet of wine back on the table. For a moment there, he’d been almost sure that Merlin’s words had been—
“We have to consummate our marriage with the druid elders as witnesses, so they can bless our union,” Merlin repeated, trying (and failing) to hide his smirk.
Yes. That.Series

Summary
“There is a way to heal my father.”
From the corner of his eye, he watched Merlin shake his head in weary disbelief.
“How?”
This was it. Merlin had faced dragons, undead armies, and the dorocha with him. He wasn’t going to baulk at Arthur’s suggestion—or at least that was what Arthur told himself, trying to steady his nerves. He took a deep breath and met Merlin’s gaze.
“With magic.”Series

Summary
On his first day of university, Merlin meets Gwen. Soon after, the two of them meet Arthur.
But life isn't like those college rom-coms where, after an appropriate amount of misunderstandings and angst, the hero gets the girl (or boy) and lives happily ever after...Series

Summary
It has been a long, hard winter, beginning with Uther’s ghost revealing Merlin’s secret and culminating in a decisive win over Morgana’s Saxon forces. There have been fights and accusations, uncomfortable truths and hurt feelings, but Merlin and Arthur have managed to put their troubles aside to focus on what is important: saving Camelot, and bringing magic back.
But when, months later, they accidentally stumble into a field full of magical flowers, it turns out that the Golden Age may not be quite as golden as they've wanted to believe.Series
