    Summary

    Arthur is relieved when Balinor the Dragonlord agrees to help, but dismayed when he refuses to come back to Camelot. Instead, Arthur is stuck waiting in the middle of nowhere while Balinor calls the dragon. To make matters worse, Arthur’s idiot manservant clearly has a massive crush on the guy: despite him being a grumpy, straggly, cave-dwelling sorcerer, who makes terrible cabbage pottage, Merlin hasn’t taken his eyes off him! Arthur will tolerate this nonsense for a couple of days, but only because he must save Camelot.

    Summary

    It's a great time for Camelot. Morgana's plans have been thwarted and King Arthur sits on his rightful throne once again.

    Will the three of them be able to save Merlin in time?

    And most importantly, who gets to win Merlin's heart?

    Summary

    With a beta for a manservant there is no reason Arthur would have to worry about his pheromones giving away his true emotions.

    Except, Merlin isn’t a beta.

    Or

    Merlin slowly loses his mind as he scrambles for flimsy excuses to explain why Arthur’s scent is growing hopelessly besotted.

    Summary

    “Perhaps we are doing her a favor then,” he says, pausing to chew the inside of his cheek before adding in a measured, careful voice. “I wouldn’t want to live without my love, either.”

    Arthur whips around in the saddle to stare at him, eyes hard and dark, like the storm clouds building on the distant horizon. “What love? You haven’t got a love,” he snaps, like he’s the sole keeper of all Merlin’s secrets.

    Arthur and his knights, and Merlin, set out on a quest to find the last dragon lord. It’s a desperate last-ditch effort as they seek out the only hope they have for subduing the dragons rumored to have recently awakened.

    As their journey grows more dangerous Merlin’s magic becomes harder to hide.

    But Merlin isn’t the only one with a secret.

    Summary

    When it comes to Arthur, Gwaine does a lot of pretending for Merlin’s sake: pretending he doesn't know how Merlin feels about Arthur, pretending he doesn't know how Arthur feels in return, pretending he doesn't want to punch Arthur in the face and shout at the pair of them to stop being stupid and snog already.

     

    (Gwaine's planning on being involved in the snogging too, he's not self-sacrificing enough to give Merlin up entirely, but he sort of thinks one of them has to make the first move.)

     

    Or: Arthur is jealous and hungover, Gwaine is exasperated and really struggling to be sympathetic, and Merlin's heart is big enough to share...

    Summary

    Gwaine glared at her. "Alright. First one to get Merlin and Arthur to admit their feelings to each other is indisputably the Wingman of the Century." He turned on his heel and walked out, nose in the air. Some of the knights looked like they were going to argue, but with the new lack of unity (and the fear of Morgana) they shuffled out, all heading their separate ways.

    Gwen sighed, looking at her lover. “Morgana, is this really necessary?”

    “Of course!” the witch laughed. “With this mission in hand, I cannot rest. Not until they have fucked loud enough for the entire palace to hear.”

    OR

    Camelot's biggest Merthur shippers compete to get Merlin and Arthur to bone each other for the coveted title of "Wingman of the Century". Featuring Mom!Friends Gwen and Leon who really need to be paid more, scheming Gaius and the knights, Morgana enjoying herself way too much, oblivious Merthur, and enough cliches and fluff to rot your teeth. (crack taken seriously) (oop now there's angst ofc there is) (fluff central)

    Sequel to oneshot "Last Line of Defense" but written so that it can be read as a standalone.

    Summary

    Any idea how you’re getting these unique wounds?” Arthur said and took a long swig of tea. Merlin shook his head, unwilling to get into it with Arthur—there’s someone out there whose body, heart and soul are so irrevocably mine that my magic senses the bond and makes even the most piddling marks on their skin bloom on mine, but don’t worry, it’s you I’d rather buggered me into the mattress.
    -

    Merlin is absolutely determined not to let Arthur know how much Merlin is besotted with him. Not to mention there's someone else out there who is equally besotted with Merlin. (Could it be Arthur? Perish the thought!)

      “Any idea how you’re getting these unique wounds?” Arthur said and took a long swig of tea. Merlin shook his head, unwilling to get into it with Arthur—there’s someone out there whose body, heart and soul are so irrevocably mine that my magic senses the bond and makes even the most piddling marks on their skin bloom on mine, but don’t worry, it’s you I’d rather fucked me into the mattress—sucking his lip in as a daring idea came to him.
      ____________
      “It’s just very odd,” Merlin pressed on, laughing awkwardly, picking at the lone fig on the tray. “You have me in your bed all the time, but you’ve never let me see you bare, even though I’m supposed to be your manservant, even though I wash out your chamber pot—”
      ____________
      “It’s nothing,” Arthur sighed. “I thought you’d be happier about one fewer chore to do. I still rely upon you for everything else, don’t I?” His hand came up to stroke Merlin’s jaw, brushing downwards over Merlin’s neck, fingers trailing over a collarbone, a nipple that eagerly stiffened under Arthur’s familiar touch— “It’s unimportant.”
      ____________
      “You got married, didn’t you? Yesterday,” Arthur said, finally exposing his torso to Merlin, showing him the various bruises and cuts on it. Merlin felt a grin widening on his face despite all his struggles to tamp it down. “I did a few tests, you know. Scratched a daisy onto my stomach, let my knights clobber me for once. Everything on my body appeared on yours and I was so certain that you felt for me the same love I did for you—are you smiling, you clod?”

      “No,” Merlin said, beaming.

      Arthur’s glare turned unsure, but he kept going. “Morgana talked to me about this… this soul-bond born of your magic, she called it. We’re each other’s, I thought; since your clumsy antics mark themselves on my skin as well—I checked. But you’ve gone and wedded and bedded your village girl already.”
      ____________
      “It’s all right, I’ll marry you,” Arthur said, crawling over Merlin on the cot, kissing him deeply. “Since no one else would be stupid enough to.”

      “No one else would be stupid enough to leave the door half-open, either, sire,” came Gaius’s long-suffering voice from outside.

      Merlin shut the door with a wave of his fingers, sharing a horrified look with Arthur before dissolving into helpless laughter and gleefully ruining the mood.

    Summary

    The next time Arthur doesn’t say thank you, Gwaine puts his hand on Merlin’s back, stroking down the long length of it, from the short curls of hair at the nape of his neck to the neat cinch of his waist.

    “Thanks,” he praises, throwing a wink to an agape Arthur as he does. It’s wonderful.

    So wonderful, in fact, that for the next fortnight, for every brusque word that spills from Arthur’s lips, Gwaine spills three sweet ones.

    Summary

    Arthur watched, unable to fully comprehend the events that had seemingly just crashed and burned in front of him rather than calmly unfold. He turned to look at the other knights who only shrugged as Mordred sank lower into his seat, lips pressed into a pout as he picked at his food.

    “I…” He started and paused, taking a moment to gather his thoughts “Why do you want Merlin to like you so badly?” He finally sighed. Mordred stopped playing with his food, glancing up before looking at the door the servant in question had exited through

    “Because he’s Merlin.” He said as if that provided any sort of answer.

    Arthur didn’t deserve this. He did his best to be a good person. Maybe this was some kind of divine intervention saying he needed to up his charity game. He needed to give the lower town a bigger tax break or something. Perhaps ride out and save three more damsels than usual.

    "He has a point," Gwaine piped up as he inhaled another mead "He is Merlin."

    Or
     
    Merlin hates Mordred and Mordred is determined to put an end to that. Arthur is convinced that this child is after his man.

    Summary

    After drinking something he wasn't supposed to, Arthur's demeanor regarding his manservant Merlin has entirely changed, leaving everyone to believe he had been snuck a love potion. But when it seems to be something else, a potion that amplifies existing feelings to an almost obsessive state, the only way to pull him back is for him to willingly participate in the spell needed to save him. What is Merlin to do when Arthur won't let him out of his sight and there are no other willing sorcerers within the kingdom?

    After a sudden encounter with Morgana, Merlin is severely injured, only managing to survive by calling the Great Dragon. However, he must return to Camelot still affected and somehow hide this from Arthur. But what's another secret on top of so many others?

    Summary

    All in all, Arthur was one of those men about whom it could be said that their heart was in the right place, although he did take great pains to hide it. Still, the core of decency made Merlin endure the thick layers of arrogance (and their thin crispy crust of arseholery) with more patience than he’d ever thought possible. There was indeed a promise of greatness about Arthur that Merlin was willing to believe in.

    --

    Merlin learns to live and work by Arthur's side. And vice versa.

    Summary

    “Gwen, it’s terrible,” Merlin said. “He’s polite! He’s kind, even!”

    “And that’s a problem?” Gwen asked, dryly.

    "I’m going to have to go through an entire week serving the perfect Golden Prince, and then go back to my Prince Prat, and I think it’s going to break me, Gwen. He’s going to get me used to it, and then it’ll be back to mile-long lists, and being called stupid instead of spectacular and how am I supposed to handle that?”

    Gwen said, hesitantly, “I thought you liked Arthur?”

    “I do,” Merlin said, sounding even lower than before. “I have to.”

    When a visiting Prince visits Camelot, and takes Merlin as his servant during his negotiations with The Crown, Merlin finds himself being seen in a way he'd always wished Arthur would see him, and doesn't know what to do with any of it.

    Summary

    Arthur Pendragon and Merlin were literally from two different worlds. One is a prince from a great kingdom and the other a common farm boy from the next kingdom over. These two should have never met.

    But that was before they realized their parents were once friends and arranged the two of them to marry when they reached adulthood. That was before Uther turned on magic and Hunith went on the run with her infant son.

    Now almost twenty years have passed and these two boys have grown into men. Camelot knights have found Hunith and come to collect her son.

    Will Merlin survive this new world he has been thrusted into? A peasant among royals, a sorcerer among those that would have him killed if they found out. Can Merlin even begin to hope for happiness when the prince he is forced to marry wants nothing to do with him?

    Follows canon but with my own arranged marriage spin to it
