Summary
Arthur Pendragon has spent his whole life untouched—by kindness, by desire, or anything resembling real intimacy. It never mattered. Not until a certain annoying manservant came to Camelot—Merlin—who disregarded all strict royal etiquette and showed no restraint when it came to sudden, reckless displays of affection. Now, there’s something impossible in the space between them, something Arthur doesn’t know how to name—only that he aches to close the distance.
*
A slow-burn touched-starved Arthur Pendragon story.
*
Guys, there was only one bed.
Guys, some obscure quest in the cold far-up mountains made them "huddle for warmth".
Guys, they might give in to this farm fantasy of theirs.
Can't I just put all the tropes in there?
This fic is rated MSI for Maximum Self Indulgence.

Summary
If Arthur had known his lawyer was going to be this handsome, he would’ve filed for divorce a lot sooner. Unfortunately for Arthur, Merlin has committed himself to a life of singledom, crankiness, and morals. Slowly, Arthur’s charming qualities heal something inside Merlin that he didn’t break.
Part I: Arthur's POV
Part II: Merlin's POVExcerpt (paraphrased):
“Are you gay?” Arthur asked his lawyer.
"Excuse me?"
“Are you part of the LGBTQA+ community?” Arthur asked, rephrasing.
“That’s irrelevant to this case.”
Arthur leaned towards the desk slightly. “But relevant to my interests.”

Summary
“Forget I said anything,” Merlin tried, failing to smother his snickering. He lowered his eyes to the ground, and bit down on his grin even as his shoulders shook with laughter. Neither of them was fooled. “Of course you’re not jealous. Why would you be? Just because Ser Erden is so very charming—”
“He is not—”
“And chivalrous—"
“I bet he beats his servants,” Arthur insisted, with no proof or reason. “And his dogs.”
“And handsome—”
“Handsome?!” Arthur shouted, so loud that it boomed in Merlin’s ears. He jerked his head up in surprise. Dark spots of red had bloomed across Arthur’s cheeks, flush and furious. “He is not! He’s—shut up, Merlin!”

Summary
Book 1 of the series.
Bad at summaries, but this is basically a canon rewrite where Arthur knows about Merlins magic from episode 1 and this particular book is only season 1.
Arthur wants to be the protective, scary boyfriend that everyone fears, but that is actually Merlin. Arthur is very quick to be intrigued, but Merlin wants nothing to do with him, which does change.
Merlin is trying to rewrite destiny and change the route, not the outcome, which basically wages a war against the Gods and Fates.
Merlin is Arthur's anchor of self-restraint, a light in his life, much like how I imagine Ygraine was for Uther.
Spoiler: Arthur falls first, Merlin falls harder.Series

Summary
Merlin is not a jealous person. He’s been sharing Arthur with other Omegas for nearly two years, and from the moment the masks between them came off, eight months ago, he’s been very sure of Arthur’s feelings for him. Despite not sharing a mating bond (yet), Merlin knows they are Soulmates, and that’s why Arthur’s job has never bothered him.
However, this new client, Blade… His smell, the marks he insists on leaving on Arthur, and the way Arthur is exhausted after Blade’s turn. Merlin hates it.

Summary
Merlin and Arthur share an unspoken arrangement. On rare evenings, they drink to excess, casting aside their cares and responsibilities, and spending the nights together in secret. Neither of them speaks of these encounters; it's a wordless ritual, full of glances and gestures, understood but never spoken aloud. In these scarce, stolen hours, they find solace, escape and a fleeting sense of companionship they can't find elsewhere.
Under the pressure of building feelings and an interrupted evening, Merlin begins to ask the question: How much longer will this be enough?

Summary
Merlin likes his sleep. He likes it so much, in fact, that when he was still in high school, his mother had to resort to drastic measures in order to get him up in the morning. The most effective of these- including but not limited to a bucket of ice cold water, an air horn, and once an entire mariachi band playing at the foot of Merlin's bed- turned out to be the smell of cooking bacon and pancakes, accompanied by the sounds of sizzling grease and butter.
Therefore, Merlin is very displeased when he arrives at Camelot University to find that his halfwitted, Ken blonde, stupidly fit roommate snores like two freight trucks trying to procreate on a nightly basis.OR
Merlin's new roommate snores, and he is not pleased.

Summary
Arthur’s voice dropped, more serious. “It’s not like you to hate anyone, Merlin. But you look at Mordred like he’s your enemy.”
Merlin went quiet.
"Merlin?"
“Maybe he is,” he whispered so quietly the words barely made it past his lips.
“What?” Arthur asked in disbelief.
....
Arthur trusts Mordred. Merlin knows better.

Summary
Taryan always felt she pulled the short sticks in life, but walking out of a dirty and unkept lake was a new low, even for her. Taryan would emerge from the water and stumble in the beloved story of “Merlin”.
After coming to terms of transitioning worlds, Taryan begins to think about her survival. This proves to be challenging with suspicious glances coming her way, mostly falling from the protagonist, Merlin. A secret conceiver himself, that is convinced more is at play with Taryan’s ploy of being a servant girl with “amnesia”. Taryan decides she won’t limit herself to being just a “background” character and involves herself in changing the story.
This includes saving characters' lives, starting (unexpected) relationships, and trying to lessen the burdens Merlin faces, despite his inquiries of her background. Taryan will learn not everything is predictable with neverseen characters' secrets, a reveal of a bastard son, and dark themes Taryan swears never would have seen the light of day in the story. Taryan’s choices are also no easy tasks, no thanks to a certain dragon that advises her own death and a destiny-bound warlock who might heed its advice.(PLZ NOTE- in Taryan’s universe, “Merlin” is a book series)
