Summary
Three years into Arthur's reign, Merlin finds out the reason all his recent flirtations have led nowhere is because it's common knowledge in the castle that he's the king's lover. Which is interesting, because it's news to him.
Arthur is forced to admit it's not exactly news to him.

Summary
Being the manservant of a Crown-Prince was not an easy task. It involved washing his clothes, polishing his armour, mucking out the stables, cleaning his chambers, helping him dress up, seeing him naked every day, bathing him, fending off his sexual advances, and so much more. . .
Did I mention fending off his sexual advances?

Summary
'What was in that potion?' he rasped, swallowing the pasty flavour in his mouth. His lungs felt unpleasantly raw, and a dull ache stirred to swift life in his temples.
Gaius scurried about, opening windows and retrieving some water, pressing a cup into Merlin's hands. 'In small doses, it's an excellent tonic for numerous fevers and ailments. However, it has some rather unfortunate interactions with those who use magic.'
Merlin closed his eyes in disbelief. 'Unfortunate how?'
'It varies. The more powerful the mage, the more... extreme the reaction.'
------
An accident in the healing rooms leaves Merlin confined to his chambers, ailing and miserable. There's a unicorn in the kitchens and a nymph in the marketplace well. The only silver lining is that Arthur is there to tend him. Will the distance that has grown between Camelot's king and his court sorcerer widen, or will they finally heal the breach for the better?
(Based on the word "Curative" for Benji)

Summary
”We have a problem.”
”Do I even want to know?” Gaius asked dryly, with that iconic eyebrow raise of his that had been shot towards Merlin far too many times.
”Probably not, bu- Oi, stop that!” Merlin started, but turned to Arthur to slap his curious and wandering hand away from the hem of Merlin’s shirt, earning a small ow from the blond.
Merlin turned back to Gaius who now had his mouth wide open. The older man just stared at the pair for a moment, Arthur who couldn’t wipe away his stupid besotted smile when looking at his manservant and Merlin who had never looked so desperate for help as he tried to push his prince away while looking at his mentor. Gaius let out a deep breath and sat down on his chair. He was too old for this.
”Arthur’s in love with me.”
”Oh dear.”

In the Age Old Tradition Of Bookshops and D&D by FrailYard (FrailYard0220)
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
12 Apr 2021
Tags
Summary
In the age old tradition of all the clichés we love enough to call tropes: Merlin owns a bookshop full of board games and everything D&D. His friend Arthur (who would never enjoy such silliness, thank you very much Mer-lin) is a frequent visitor.
And they’re best mates, nothing more. Except maybe Arthur’s jealous, and maybe Merlin’s catching feelings. But snuggling and watching Doctor Who is totally platonic, right?

Summary
“I would never…” Arthur’s hands flew up, finally pushing past his own nervousness to grab Merlin’s face. “I would never let that happen. I needed to get you out of there as soon as I could. I’m sorry I caused a scene, I just…” Arthur brushed his thumb along Merlin’s sharp cheekbone, soothing the ache in his own chest. The skin under his fingertips simmered the heat he had felt for weeks, he had no idea how a man could feel so soft—so beautifully soft—to the touch.
or
4 times Arthur’s jealousy got in the way of his feelings and 1 time he finally did something about it. -

Summary
Was destiny still destiny if Merlin chose it? Everyday, Merlin decided: Arthur. Arthur before himself, before the entire world.
To Merlin, that sounded more like will than fate.

Summary
Merlin's body is reeling, the air rushing out of his lungs as he falls backward, and he only has time for one last act. One last move to make it all worth it.
He exhales harshly, grits his teeth, and within a single second a mass of pent up anger and love and loss is catapulting into Nimueh, and as his back snaps against the stone wall of the well and his heart lurches from where he dangles over the big dark deep, he hears the sound of a body falling and knows that he has won.
And like God is laughing at him, he tumbles. Down, down, down.
***
Merlin, after a battle with Nimueh leaves him trapped in a water well with no way out, reflects on his life and death. Arthur, miles away in the castle, wonders where Merlin has gone to. The clock is ticking, and Arthur is running out of time to reach him.

“Honestly I don’t know why you haven’t told her yet”, Merlin sighed. “I understand being afraid to tell Uther, but you and Morgana share everything and I know she would support you no matter what.”
Arthur needs to just come out with the truth. He also needs to tone down the jealousy. ...Maybe.

Summary
“Grimmond is the third to fail this month. How am I meant to defend Camelot with rubbish like that?” Arthur pulls off his glove with two fingers, tossing it behind him for Merlin to catch.
“I think I might be able to help,” Merlin pipes up.
“You?” Arthur repeats. “What do you know about being a knight? You haven’t the faintest idea what it takes to be one. Courage. Fortitude. Discipline.” Anyone else would take it as an insult, but Merlin just bobs his head in pleasant agreement.
“No, no. Of course I don’t,” Merlin says. “But I know someone who does.”
An ABO retelling of 1x05 Lancelot in which Arthur is threatened by the arrival of a new, too-good-to-be-true alpha in Camelot.
