"You've got a deal."
"Really?"
"Do I look like I'm joking? Yes, you idiot."
"How wonderful. Tonight, Uther will be in good health again. The memory of his illness will be gone for everyone but you and I, and all will return to normal for the time being."
"Thank you, Merlin. He means everything to me."
"Of course, Your Royal Pratness. Let's hope the price won't be too much for you. Only time will tell, I guess."
"Right. Then, when do we start?"<
"What do you mean?'
"You said you want my firstborn."
"Yes? And you agreed?"
"Yeah, so, when do we start?"
"Oh."OR
Merlin is the Prince of the Fae, Arthur is the Prince of Wales, and they both attend the University of Camelot.
Arthur's father, Uther, falls terribly ill the Summer before his third year at uni, and he fears losing his only remaining parent while he's still young and unprepared to rule England, so he does everything to ensure his father gets well and takes the advice of anyone who will give advice, Merlin being one of those people. When the younger man drunkenly mentions that the Fae can grant any wish for a price, Arthur jumps the gun.Based on a writing prompt by makeshiftdhole on Tumblr

“Gaius, I hear Merlin's thoughts!” Arthur announced, entering the surgeon's room, still red.
“Merlin's thoughts?” Gaius looked worried.
“He has a crush on me!” Arthur said. “He thinks I'm always handsome and he said…” Arthur stopped, blushing even more.

In hindsight, perhaps it shouldn't have been quite so shocking to Arthur that the new tailor so exactly fit his idea of the perfect person for him.
(au in which I resurrect the parents, Merlin is competent, and magic is legal in Camelot. Oh, and Arthur finds out that mothers really do know best)
tw for period-typical drinking at the appropriate european age (but they don't get drunk)

Summary
Merlin had thought he'd escaped small-town life for good once he'd finally left for the big city. Of course, he hadn't thought that he might feel just as stuck there as he had at home.
When he inherits his great-uncle's bookstore, he realises that turning it into the kind of community space he'd always dreamed of might just be the thing he needs to get his own writing -- his whole life, really -- back on track.
Even if he has to move home, and put up with a posh, irritating city lawyer named Arthur Pendragon, to do it.

Summary
“Um… when I said we can’t be friends because I’m the prince...I...” Arthur started tentatively, before saying seriously, “I…I think we might already be friends.”
Merlin looked at him funnily for a moment, before bursting into laughter, falling back onto his back.
“What?” Arthur snapped heatedly, a bit nettled at this reaction (though his heart was warming slightly at the smile finally returning to Merlin’s face).
“Oh Arthur,” Merlin snickered, “you say that like it’s the end of the world. It’s not like you’ve never had a friend before.”
Arthur flopped back onto his back with a quiet huff, coldness seeping back into his chest at this statement. He stared at the patchy ceiling, swallowing hard and trying to keep his expression neutral. He’d gotten pretty good at being expressionless over the years-- it was the nature of the court, of being royalty, to stand tall. To stand alone.
a.k.a.
Arthur realizes that Merlin is his first true friend and that he may or may not be in love with him.

Summary
Merlin stared in speechlessness at his desktop screen. His brain effectively short-circuited after reading ‘I’m madly attracted to you’ and he’d been re-reading the email for the past five minutes.
This email was not meant for him. He knew this email was not meant for him. It was very clearly not meant for him.
In fact, it stated multiple times, it was in fact meant for Morgana.

Romantic New Year (the Romantic Santa Remix) by TheCourtSorcerer for MerthurAllure (Kirbymatsu)
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)

Summary
It had been hard rigging the Secret Santa to ensure he got Merlin’s name, even harder to deal with the nerves that came with trying to pick the perfect gifts and write the perfect notes (he still winced thinking about his first one, so direct and straightforward—he’d been so worried Merlin would find it strange, he got lucky).
In the end, it had worked out, though, and now he had a date with the man who drove him mad in all the right ways. Even now, days later, he could still feel the tingle of Merlin’s lips pressed firm against his own…
His heart stuttered in his chest as he pulled up to Merlin’s flat.
