Summary
Across centuries of plagues, wars, and new names for old cruelties, Merlin endures. After Camlann he walks the long road alone, a sorcerer who will not die and a lover who cannot forget. When grief finally tears a seam in time, he falls back into Camelot on the first day of his destiny. This time Merlin is smarter, quiet where he must be, ruthless where it counts, and determined to change fate for his golden-haired king.
“That’s not very knightly of you, darling,” he called, voice lazy as a cat sunning on a sill.
Arthur turned. Blue eyes, quick and keen and infuriatingly curious, flicked over him. “Excuse me?”
“Using a servant as a moving target.” Merlin tipped his head toward the boy trotting in a circle, the shield clattering against his spine. “It’s crude. If you wanted to show off, you could have asked me to watch. I make an excellent audience.
A squire choked. The boy stumbled to a grateful halt.
Arthur’s mouth flattened into the princely version of a smile’s shadow. “Do you know who you’re talking to?”
“Handsome, overconfident, dangerously good with his hands,” Merlin said. “Likes knives more than apologies. I’ve met your type.”A.k.a Merlin fixes destiny with flirting,

Summary
“You kept calling me names you would call your romantic partner instead of my title. Like you had mixed the words up by accident.” Merlin looked at him completely baffled. “You’re seriously telling me you have no idea what I’m talking about?” The man shook his head. “I cannot believe this.”
Merlin keeps calling Arthur 'love' in replace of 'lord' and the poor, confused prince cannot tell for the life of him if his servant is meaning to or not.

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.

Summary
Merlin and Arthur are heralded as best friends of Camelot, but who are they behind closed doors? Who do they present alone? Read this fic for mutual pining, all that destiny shit, sassy Merlin, Morgana desperately needing a hug or a restraining order, and Merlin wanting a break or a boyfriend—both unlikely (at least, he thinks so). Jealous Arthur is a weakness of mine so he’s here, also new characters yay love that. Ok—enjoy!

Summary
“Stressed about work? You have that big meeting with your father today, right?”
“Mhm,” Arthur hummed, eyes slowly trailing over the back of Merlin, flicking back to his dark hair a few times too many. Distantly, he wondered how Merlin’s voice would sound pitched just a touch lower, with a sultry, seductive drawl to it.
Then Merlin shut the fridge and spun around, though, and Arthur straightened up. He looked off to the side and pushed away the—definitely inappropriate—thoughts.
Merlin wasn’t Emrys.

Summary
“I can pay for it.”
Arthur blinked. Then, there was a man beside him, grinning brighter than a thousand suns.
“Just add it to my bill, I’ll have my regular. Guy looks like he’s had a long night, Freya, let’s give him this one,” the stranger chuckled, head tilted to the side.
Or
Arthur's had a long shift at the hospital. Luckily, life has a way of making things better after coming down on a person, and he meets a handsome stranger on his coffee run.

Summary
“No, Arthur, I—” Merlin abruptly cut herself off, shaking her head, “no, you know what, actually, I’m just…”
Acting on impulse, and probably stupidity, Merlin lifted her hands and fumbled with the tie of her neckerchief before letting it slip off and fall to the ground in front of herself. Then, she gripped the bottom hem of her tunic tight and pulled it over her head in one quick, swift action.
As the piece of clothing dropped to the ground next to her, she watched Arthur’s eyes widen. She didn’t stop there, however. Feeling brave and a bit brazen, she let her hands find the bandages wrapped tight around her chest and tugged at the edge until it came loose. She watched the realisation settle on Arthur’s features, paired with a deep flush, as she unwrapped the cloth and let it fall with the rest of her top-wear.
“I,” she said, emphasising the word as the last of the bandages hit the dirt, “am not a man.”

Summary
“I,” Merlin paused, clearing his throat as he looked away. “I made a bet with Morgana—” Arthur winced, knowing too well how that always ended, “—and I lost. She said before that this would be my ‘punishment’ for losing but, well, I thought it was a joke.”
“It’s never a joke with ‘Gana,” Arthur sighed, sympathetic for his boyfriend.
Or
Merlin loses a bet to Morgana, and Arthur reaps the rewards.

Summary
Merlin didn’t understand what it was about his computer that Arthur loved so much, Arthur knew that. Especially when he had a bigger computer in the main living room at a desk he could use.
What he didn’t seem to get, though, was that it was precisely because he wasn’t allowed to use it that made him want to use it so bad. That and, he’d used it with Merlin’s supervision before, and things loaded so much faster than on the shared computer!
Today, he needed a fast computer.
Or
After a chat with one of Merlin's employees, Arthur takes the opportunity of Merlin leaving for grocery shopping to make some new discoveries on the internet. Well, until Merlin comes home, that is...

Summary
He didn’t know what it was, but something about Gwaine made him feel… Strange. He wasn’t sure how to name it.
So, obviously he just called it annoyance.
Why not? That’s what he did with Merlin. Merlin made him feel annoyed a lot. His heart raced, and his stomach flipped and turned, and his thoughts turned to mush…
Obviously, it was frustration, annoyance.

Summary
He just couldn’t tear his eyes away. He knew he should, but… Gods.
Arthur let his eyes slowly trail over the body waist deep in the cold lake, from where he stood by the trees. Moonlight shed through, lighting the sorcerer so perfectly. He was positively glowing…
“I know you’re there, Arthur…” The King nearly leapt out of his skin when Merlin’s voice drifted to him.
“It’s hot, tonight. Come join me…”
Or
Arthur’s dragged Merlin out on a hunting trip to get away from the stress of repealing the magic ban, creating new legislation to regulate usage, and drawing up the paperwork to promote his servant to Court Sorcerer.
As the night sets in, the air grows hotter rather than cooler, and after making camp Merlin wanders off with complaints of the heat.
When he doesn’t come back for a worryingly amount of time, Arthur trails off after him, unwittingly stumbling upon his manservant taking a midnight dip in a lake.
