    Summary

    Merlin felt strong arms lift him. He wanted to protest, to stay and hear what else Gaius might say, but the knights were already carrying him off the training field, and he sank into oblivion.

    ~*~

    An assassination attempt on Arthur leaves Merlin seriously injured. In fact, he shouldn't survive ... but he does. And that brings a lot of other questions to the fore.

    ~*~

    Summary

    “They’re beautiful.” Merlin traced the edges with his fingertips, fascinated by the way Arthur’s skin glowed golden under his touch—a kind of magical vitiligo. “I didn’t know they could light up like that. Did you?”

    “No.” Arthur reached out in turn, pushing Merlin’s shirt off over his shoulders to better view the marks where they spread across his torso. “Do you think they match?”

    Summary

    Merlin had to admit that he didn’t have the most vivid memories of that night. But what he did recall was the moment he’d laid eyes on the most gorgeous man he’d ever seen out on the dance floor, dancing in a white shirt that had been soaked in something—it turned out to be beer—turning it almost translucent. It was practically obscene, the way that that shirt had clung to the man’s chest and torso, the lights glinting off his blond hair.

    Merlin couldn’t be sure if he hadn’t been drooling.

    A story of getting together, falling in love, and experiencing the firsts of life, the ups and downs and everything in between.

    Summary

    The second time Merlin falls asleep during a council meeting, Arthur has had enough.

    “All right, that’s it,” he says, grabbing Merlin by the collar and dragging him out into the hallway behind him. The meeting is already long over, and the fact that Merlin didn’t notice either the scraping of the chairs or Uther’s pointed remarks makes it clear that Something Has To Be Done. “You’re coming with me.” 

    Or: after the dragon attack, Merlin's guilt and grief have been keeping him up at nights. Fortunately, Arthur takes it upon himself to help.

    Summary

    Arthur decided that he was done with feeling pathetic. No more backing down. If Merlin was going to reject him, he'd have to do it clearly and to his face, only then would he accept defeat and try to move on.

    And if by some miracle Merlin didn't reject him? In that case, well… he'd cross that bridge when he came to it.


    Alternatively, a reborn Arthur Pendragon faces his toughest challenge yet: telling Merlin how he feels.

    Summary

    The king turns then, finally looking at him properly. He blinks, brows furrowed in an innocent act of confusion, and Merlin’s heart tugs.

    It’s been a while since he killed someone face-to-face like this, much less someone this breathtakingly beautiful—

    “What are you…” Arthur frowns and takes a single step forward, then freezes.

    Finally, he sees the dagger.

    or

    Merlin has been taking jobs for years. His magic comes in handy when tasked with making sure some spoiled fat heir disappears mysteriously enough that people assume he's eloped to leave his client the only remaining in line for whatever inheritance is at stake.

    So, when his latest assignment challenges him to get rid of the King of Camelot himself, Merlin doesn't think it'll be any different.

    Except it seems that Fate has other plans for him.

    OR

    They're both pining idiots and can't stay away from each other but we love them anyway.

    Summary

    "If it weren't for this speech-"

    "Let me look at it," Merlin says, snagging it off the table. Arthur grabs for it, pointlessly, and then resorts to just glaring at him half-heartedly.

    Summary

    There is something incredibly warm pressed against him. Despite his boyfriend being so lithe, he is usually pretty warm, but not usually this warm. It’s like a burning hot shower. Not that Arthur is complaining; in his opinion, the hotter the shower, the better. 

    He moves his head forward to nuzzle Merlin’s neck but instead of brushing against soft skin, his cheek brushes something rough and— a scale?
    -
    Or Arthur finds out his boyfriend is a dragon shifter.

    Summary

    “I’m the king,” Arthur says grumpily, swallowing around the stone that has settled in his throat, “I can wear what I want.”

    “What about what I want?”

    “I’m the king,” Arthur repeats slowly, since Merlin is being particularly thick, “and so you can also wear what I want.”

    Or, Arthur dresses Merlin, which goes about as well as you would expect.

    Summary

    After Merlin mistakenly eats a poisonous flower, the only cure involves him losing control of his magic. The chaos that ensues leads Arthur to several conclusions: 1) he needs to legalize magic in Camelot, 2) he enjoys watching Merlin's magic more than he ever thought he would, and 3) he can't keep pushing down his feelings for his loyal sorcerer for much longer.
