Summary
After Arthur disobeyed his father and retrieved the Mortaeus flower for Merlin's cure, Arthur's frantic pleading to save Merlin led to a misunderstanding that actually convinced Uther to take the flower to Gaius.
Now all Arthur has to do is explain to Merlin why Uther thinks they are lovers.
And while Uther is supportive of the relationship, he requires it kept secret. But in his paranoia, Uther misinterprets every innocent interaction between the two as something far more intimate, to the embarrassment of everyone involved.
And then the knights begin showing up...
Update 27/04/2024: This is long and in-process. So consider a break between story arcs!

Arc 3 - (chapters 71 , in progress) What happens when your father invites every eligible woman to Camelot so you can find your wife like you promised in exchange for saving Merlin? Chaos. -

Summary
Arthur wheezed, trying to regain his breath as the lady’s friends all howled with laughter. He couldn’t move, not without slitting his own throat. “Who… who are you?” he managed to ask, and the lady looked delighted to be finally asked.
“My name is Guinevere,” she answered, and every molecule in Arthur’s body was suddenly on fire. “Perhaps you’ve heard of me.”
The air had left Arthur’s lungs again. “Guinevere?” he repeated weakly. “The princess?”
