Summary
“Right,” the stranger says, and nods sagely. “So you’re a bit of an arse, then?”
“I’m not,” Arthur says, strangled.
“Clearly,” says the stranger in an oddly cheerful tone, and sticks out his hand. “I’m Merlin. I can keep this very short. I’ve spent four years as a barista in another coffee shop, then went to art school, failed utterly and horribly, and now I’m back to being a barista. I’m a hard worker and am immune to people shouting at me, because I’m a starving artist, which means I know how to deal with negative feedback very well. So. That’s me. I didn’t bring a CV, sorry.”
Or: In a final bid to find happiness after leaving his job at his father's company, Arthur opens a coffee shop. Merlin just wants to make latte art.

Summary
This is a series based on BBC Merlin.
It's about Merlin's magic and his relationship with Arthur. In as many different ways as I can imagine.
The knights and servants and other characters will also have many appearances. But the main focus will be on Merlin and Arthur.There is no need to read the stories in any order or all of them at all. Each story is it's own idea. They can be read separately.

Summary
Merlin ducks forward, grabbing Arthur’s hands. His are cool and soft, and Arthur is surprised by the feel of Merlin’s palm over his own rough knuckles. “Arthur,” he says pointedly. “I know my duty, and I don’t need you to remind me. Are you always like this?”
“Like what?”
“Annoying,” Merlin says, and leans back, appraising him more thoughtfully than his tone suggests. “So concerned with your honour.”
Or: Arthur must marry Lord Emrys for a year to create an alliance between their people. Except it isn't Emrys who comes to marry him, but the young druid Merlin, who soon turns all of Camelot upside down—and Arthur with it.

Summary
“Elena put you up to this, didn’t she?”
Spots of colour appeared on Leon’s cheeks, and he grimaced as he brandished his mobile. “It was this, or set you up on a date with her elderly cousin Grunhilda.”
“Give me the mobile, Leon. I’ll make an account.”***
Arthur is tired of people only wanting to date him for his money. After his latest break-up, about which he isn't very broken up at all, he decides dating just isn't for him. But his best friends at least want him to talk to other humans outside the office, and they get him into a fandom space on Discord.Sometimes what you don't even know you're looking for ends up right in front of you.

Summary
Arthur thinks the new lecturer in modern Romance languages is disrespectful, infuriating, and gorgeous.
Merlin thinks the department head is a posh, arrogant Classicist, who has no right being so stunning.
But workplace relationships never last, and they don't have a single thing in common, including what languages they speak.
Then again, some things don't get lost in translation.

Summary
Arthur repeals the ban on magic almost as soon as he becomes king, but things don't really change for Merlin. He knows that if Arthur ever found out about the lies, he'd never be forgiven. So he keeps his magic hidden just like he did before. Then to mark the one year anniversary of the repeal, Arthur hosts a ball. Merlin decides to disguise himself, and go to the ball as Emrys to keep an eye out for his friend. The idea is only partly motivated by jealousy.

Summary
“I haven’t slept with anyone in eleven years,” is what he says, mostly to make this stupid argument go away, and swallows away the embarrassment the moment he says it. That’s truly the best way to make Arthur even more smug, to let him know that Merlin has devoted every second to him since the moment he set foot in Camelot. How lovely.
Arthur slowly turns back towards him. “Eleven years?”
“Well, you know,” Merlin says, trying to edge himself out of the situation. “It’s not as if I had time. Or occasion. And really, I can’t think of a single person I ought to have slept with, anyway.”

Summary
“We have a system for borrowing books, you know,” the librarian says. Merlin, his name tag reads. There’s a little smiley face behind his name, and Merlin leans over the counter to take the book out of Arthur’s hands. Arthur stares back, stone-faced, as Merlin looks at the cover. “I hope you enjoyed it, at least, if you went to all the trouble of stealing it.”
“I don’t—” Arthur says, and presses his lips together. “It was fine, I suppose. If you like that sort of thing.”
Merlin snorts. “What’s that, gay people?”
Or: When Arthur comes out to his father, he loses everything. And then he meets a messy-haired librarian, and learns that there’s so much he never had.

Summary
It was something that crept up on him. Arthur had long suspected Merlin’s feelings for him were not entirely platonic. He didn’t think Merlin would ever act on it—let alone that his own feelings might change.
But when Arthur is the one to act, when he kisses Merlin--without thought or plan on either end--it feels as natural and inevitable as when Arthur had first kissed Gwen. It would have been a beautiful moment, if not for the fact that they were both immediately consumed by guilt and horror at the line Arthur has crossed.
It takes Arthur a whole day to work up the courage to tell Gwen, panicked by his attraction to more than just women. He expects her to be upset. To cry. Perhaps to throw things at him. He’d deserve it.
Instead, she just smiles. "Well," she says. "That was a long time coming, wasn't it?"
OR
If a Merthur kiss had indeed happened in Season 5. You can't convince me Gwen didn't see this coming a mile away, but bi and demi Arthur is having a confusing day. He has mistakes he must now mend, both with Gwen and with Merlin. For Mergwenthur Week "Free Day"- Language:

"No one will believe us."
"They will... We'll start now, and over the next few weeks make it more and more obvious, until the moment we announce our engagement... Then once our visitors are gone, we simply end the betrothal. Everything goes back to the way it was."- Language:

“So, we’re all agreed, everyone has to participate in the drinking games tonight, right?” Gwaine asked as he came and sat down, brandishing a new bottle of vodka. Everyone was well on the way to getting drunk and there was a chorus of mumbled agreements. “Good. It’s settled.”

Summary
“Arthur—” Merlin began, holding up the DVD. “What’s this?”
Arthur’s heart jumped into his throat. Shit. He’d meant to hide that and give it to Merlin at some kind of opportune time, like when he got his first boyfriend.
“I, uh. I got it from a friend. You know, for you.”
Merlin looked at him, amused.
“For me? Arthur, why would I want a porn DVD? There’s loads of stuff online.”
“Dunno, Just thought the vintage stuff might be good for the basics.”
“God, you are so embarrassing,” said Merlin, rolling his eyes. “I don’t need your help, thanks. But since you’ve decided I’m in need of educating. We can watch it together. Then you can talk me through it.”
“What? Don’t be so silly, Merlin. It was just for a laugh. Put it back and we’ll watch something else.”
“Nope, it just so happens, I’m in the mood for a laugh,” he said, taking the disc from its case and inserting the disc.
