And, at the very center of Merlin’s attention, was the one who must be his soulmate, the very cause of this color.

But, god, he wanted it so badly.

Summary
Every October, Camelot Manor transforms into the most terrifying haunted attraction in Britain — complete with fog machines, fake blood, and actors who take their jobs a little too seriously.
Arthur Pendragon is the star of the show — the golden boy of scares, professional brooder, and reigning “King of the Maze.” Merlin, newly hired and armed with a sarcastic smile and zero experience, is determined not to be intimidated… even if Arthur looks unfairly good covered in stage blood.
Between jump scares, costume malfunctions, and late-night rehearsals, the two start to realize that what’s really frightening isn’t the ghosts — it’s catching feelings for your co-worker in a haunted house.

I hate that I will never have you.And that makes me want you all the more.
Or; Arthur and Merlin are academic rivals that hate each other, well, until they start writing accidental love letters to each other on their shared document, their relationship changes.

Summary
Born with many inherited health issues, Merlin Emrys had dedicated much of his life to environmentalism and vigilante hacking. He is hired as a token environmental adviser for Albion Enterprises LTD in the aftermath of a tell-all book published by the CEO’s daughter. There, he meets Arthur, the CEO’s son, and is swept up into a whirlwind friendship and blossoming romance. It’s something he never intended — especially since he plans to hack the company from the inside. And, most especially, because Merlin is determined to be single for his entire life. But, he is drawn to Arthur, and Arthur is drawn to Merlin. They fit together. It's almost like they are two sides of the same coin. With so many things separating them and yet so many things drawing them together, Arthur and Merlin's destiny remains uncertain. Even as, once again, the future of Albion (Enterprises) rests on both their shoulders.
This fic is dedicated to those of us in the Merlin fandom who deal with serious chronic illnesses, whether mental or physical.

Summary
I’m terrible at summaries and I’ll probably come back to this but basically Arthur’s in the mafia and Merlin’s his secret lover who he would do anything to protect…and he does.
‘Merlin shook off Arthur’s suit jacket and threw it on the floor. He let out a breathy laugh when he heard it knock a few things over.
“I’ll get the blood stains out for you tomorrow, no need to waste a good jacket on a terrible man.”
That, that right there was one of the reasons Arthur loved Merlin. Oh yes he was smart, hilarious, too witty for his own good and one of the most beautiful men Arthur had ever seen. He was also the only person in the world who still kissed him when he had blood in his hair, who called him sweetheart ten minutes after seeing him kill seven men, who washed the blood from his clothes personally because he always wanted him to look nice. He was the only one who loved him for him.’
