Oh, shit. A memory of a conversation Merlin and Arthur had a while back suddenly came to him. In this memory Merlin had mentioned something. Something that is most certainly the reason as to why Merlin seemed absolutely terrified.
“You’re scared of storms. Aren’t you?” Arthur quietly asked Merlin in the dark.

Summary
How could something as vile as The Great Purge ever bring beauty into the world? How could something pure arise from the ashes of countless innocents sacrificed to assuage a king's terrible guilt?
The Triple Goddess heard how the land cried when magic was torn from it, the howl of raw magic robbed of a living vessel, and She took pity. And so it was that Merlin rose from the waters of Avalon, magic incarnate, born to share the weight of destiny with his other half, The Once And Future King.

Summary
In the kingdom where the Pendragons reign supreme as ruthless vampire hunters, Arthur Pendragon stands as the most feared and skilled of them all. His loyal servant, Merlin, appears to be a clumsy, scrawny, and goofy young man, but secretly, he is a pureblood vampire—the rarest and most powerful kind.
As Arthur travels the land, slaying vampires and declaring them dangerous monsters, Merlin remains by his side, hiding his true nature. Initially, Merlin's need for blood is minimal, allowing him to pass as human with ease by claiming the vials of blood from Gaius are medicinal. However, as Merlin's strength grows, so does his thirst, and he becomes increasingly desperate to avoid drinking human blood, fearing he will become the very monster Arthur hunts.
When the charade unravels and Arthur discovers Merlin's true identity, their world is thrown into chaos. Faced with losing his friend, Arthur makes the ultimate sacrifice: offering his own blood to keep Merlin alive.

Summary
“I am sorry, Arthur,” Uther said calmly, peacefully eating his chicken. His face flickered with a few emotions, mild disappointment and a hint of pity numbering among them, but lacked sympathy or sorrow. “A war against Cenred, especially with the aid of the Druids, was one we had no hope of winning. His allies are far too powerful, and his army alone outnumbers our own.”

Merlin groaned again and pulled away from Arthur as he woke up. “Ugh,” he said, bringing a hand up to rub at his head.
“What’s wrong?” Arthur pulled back a little to give Merlin some space.
Merlin pushed himself up and leaned back against the headboard. “Great. I’ve gotten a cold for my birthday,” Merlin said. He coughed harshly into his fist and let his head thunk back against the wood of the headboard.

Summary
Another rendition of what should have happened after the gayest meeting of all time. This scene takes place after they (flirt) insult one another the second time. Instead of fighting in the middle of the square, Arthur drags Merlin into a convenient alleyway and they proceed to release some of that built-up tension. After making out Merlin pushes Arthur onto his knees, a move which the Prince finds very offensive (because obviously it should be the other way around).
And yet there's just something about Merlin he can't quite put his finger on... Then again, if a finger isn't working, why not try his mouth instead?

Summary
Merlin is more than just a well-paid whore: he's a professional submissive who loves what he does. As his long-term contract with Uther Pendragon comes to an end, he must find a means to keep providing for himself. He wasn't expecting Arthur to step into the role of dominant, and he certainly wasn't expecting to fall in love.
Arthur is suddenly thrown into the world of BDSM when his father's ex-whore needs a place to stay. He's always had a bit of a crush on Merlin, but it blossoms into something decidedly more as Merlin teaches him all the best ways to get his kink on.

Summary
Post-canon AU / Canon AU from S2. It's been ten years since Arthur drifted away from him on the Lake of Avalon, but even inside Camelot's walls, Merlin is still lost. Hiding from those who know him and cut off from his former life in self-imposed exile, he can't resist the temptation when a mysterious stranger offers him the chance to set things right. Merlin returns to the past, to an innocent, simpler time, armed with the knowledge of Arthur's fate. He knows the odds (and the stubborn people - Arthur in particular) are stacked against him and the obstacles he must overcome seem insurmountable. Can destiny be nudged enough to save Arthur's life, and is the price too high?
