Summary
"Thank you," Percy said, accepting the tea gratefully. He wasn't a big tea person overall, but his stepmother had a very good knack for it. Godly power, or whatever. "And thank you for not hating me anymore. I know you aren't thrilled about my existence-"
"No need to thank me for not being Hera," Amphitrite dismissed. Percy took a sip of tea. "That is what you meant, isn't it?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. For once, Percy learned from his mistakes and stayed quiet, though he did give her a bashful smile to confirm the sentiment. "Hm. Well, either way, I owe you thanks. Not many children would agree to spy on their father for me."
Percy put the cup down. "I'm not spying on him," he reasoned. Amphitrite scoffed. "I just happen to be in many of the places he is when he's in the mortal world." A long pause followed, and Percy rolled his eyes. "Yes, he was seeing a mortal woman. Her name is Lea."
"You owe me twenty of your mortal dollars, child."
Percy bitterly slapped the paper bill on the table between them.
Or
Amphitrite has an odd quest for Percy. Strangely enough, it might be the only quest Percy has actually enjoyed.

Summary
“Flowers,” Arthur repeats dubiously. “Merlin is out… selling flowers.”
“The cornflowers sell especially well,” Gaius says.
Or: Merlin, on his trips to find herbs for Gaius, starts bringing home flowers. It doesn’t take long until the townspeople of Camelot start asking for specific flowers, and for Merlin to start taking orders.
Things sort of spiral.

Summary
“Is that how you think of yourself?” Sirius whispers to him, pained.
“No,” Remus whispers back, frowning. “That’s just the truth."
“What can I do for you to see the other truth?”
“It’s not your job to-”
Sirius puts a hand on Remus' face.
Thumb stroking his jaw. He knows those hands. He knows them well. But on the heated skin of Remus' face, they're suddenly new, because they've never been there. In the absolution of his touch, he's momentarily whole. He feels, through Sirius’ palm, tremors.
“What if..?” His eyes are dilated, black eating away at gray. “What if I want it to be?”
War hero Remus Lupin has always categorized his unrequited love for Sirius Black, his roommate of ten years, as background noise. Ubiquitous, but ultimately, ignorable. But during a week-long June heatwave in which lines are blurred, thresholds are crossed, and Lily and James’ housewarming looms ever closer, Remus realizes he’s wrong. What he feels isn’t white noise.
It’s hell.
And to make matters worse, their housewarming present is so terrible that if his attraction to Sirius doesn’t kill him, then the star-patterned curtains definitely will.

Summary
Harry accidentally time travels to 1979, where he gets captured by the Order of the Phoenix. There's a catch — from the moment they set eyes on Harry's Dark Mark, they despise him.
*
“Finally awake… Death Eater?” the man spat spitefully.
Harry never would have imagined meeting like this.
The words “I can explain” were stuck on the tip of his tongue. But all that came out was a soft, strangled, “Sirius.”

Summary
Courtship in Camelot among the nobility has five well-known steps:
Flowers
Gifts
Time spent together (with a chaperone)
A favor (typically if a beloved was a knight)
And obtaining permission from their guardian
Unfortunately, Merlin is oblivious to these traditions. Thankfully, Ealdor has some customs of her own that Hunith deigns to enlighten Arthur about.Bookmarked by jimbobthethird

Summary
Escaping Morgana's most recent attempt to end Arthur has the unfortunate result of everyone forgetting that Merlin ever existed. Now alone, Merlin continues to work towards the goal of peaceful magical integration, but he also has to work to find his place again amongst the knights and Arthur. If he's not just Arthur's bumbling servant, is there a chance they could be something more than friends? Or has Fate already written them as a tragedy that can't be avoided? And why won't this stupid fumorroh in his neck die already?
It's not an easy life to be a child of Fate's control. Will Merlin be able to save them or will he bring them all to ruin?
OR
An extremely alternative take on A Servant of Two Masters s4e6.

Summary
When Merlin wakes in Arthur's bed, Arthur acts as if nothing has changed.
Merlin understands. It was a mistake, grief over Arthur's broken relationship with Gwen, and when it happens again (and again), Arthur keeps ignoring, and Merlin always understands.
Then Princess Mithian comes. A marriage is planned, and among Agravaine's betrayal, new duties above his station, and Arthur's continued advances, Merlin isn't sure how long he can hold himself together.

The Camelot Chronicle presents.....How to Woo a Guy in 31 Days!
Everyone thinks Merlin has more game than Arthur, who takes full offense to that, thank you very much. Like he always does, Arthur rises to the challenge to prove himself: Can he successfully romance Merlin, of all people? Even with all the support from his knights and a large book of rather dirty pick up lines (Thanks, Geoffrey), seducing his manservant proves to be harder than anything he's done before.

Summary
In a fit of mild insanity, Arthur decides to ask Merlin to (fake) marry him. Merlin's biggest problem with this isn't the marriage itself (because he finds that quite agreeable), but that he hasn't told Arthur of his magic yet and really, with how they're breathing down each other's backside, it's only a matter of time before Arthur knows. They are entirely normal about all this and nothing odd or strange at all happens.

Summary
After Morgana and Agravaine take the castle, Merlin convinces Arthur to run away for their own safety, to regroup and recover. Away from the castle, Arthur can't help but think Merlin's new dress suits her quite well while he dreams of starting over as a farmer in Ealdor with her by his side. Merlin, however, has other ideas. She has to get him back on the throne to complete his destiny.
Sometimes it takes a failure to learn a lesson. Or, Arthur learns he's been in love with Merlin the whole time.
A Sword and the Stone bastardization.

Summary
Arthur is the crown prince of Camelot, and Merlin is his insufferable servant... always annoying, always underfoot, and always making things harder than they need to be. A stolen blanket, a clumsy dance lesson, and a near-kiss during a battle are just the beginning. What starts as irritation soon grows into something far more complicated... and neither of them knows how to stop it.
"Wouldn’t have to if you weren’t hoarding them like some sort of linen dragon."
Arthur looked deeply, personally offended. "I am not-" He shook his head, as if physically trying to rid himself of the sheer audacity of the accusation. "Royalty is entitled to blanket privileges!"
"Oh, I see," Merlin said, voice dry. "So your royal posterior requires five whole blankets while the rest of us freeze to death?"
Arthur narrowed his eyes. "It’s not the number, it’s the principle."
Merlin raised an eyebrow. "The principle of being a royal prat?"
