Summary
This is the story of Arthur, a vet who has recently moved to Ealdor to get a new lease on life, and Merlin, the local animal lover who becomes Arthur's favourite client.
Warning - This story includes a drunk bunny, sad little guinea pig, ninja kitties and an evil chicken. Symptoms may include blushes, fluffy tails and twitching eyebrows.
This is also the story of Arthur and his love for his mother, as he tries to find his place in the world and someone to love him as he is.
But mostly, it's about the eyebrow twitching. Just ask Arthur.

Summary
Everyone insisted that Arthur needed time to process, to accept that Merlin was gone. The only problem was that Merlin wasn’t.
Arthur didn’t know how to explain it without sounding like Uther when he’d seen Ygraine in the well, like he was losing his mind and looking for ghosts. He didn’t know how to look at his court and make them understand that Merlin had once told him about nature, about the sacred connectedness of the earth, and asked Arthur if he felt it. He didn’t know how to say that he hadn’t felt it back then, but that he did now. He felt it all. He felt Merlin in it.
--
Merlin saves Arthur's life at Camlann at the cost of his own. Merlin can't die, so it's not that simple.

Summary
After Arthur disobeyed his father and retrieved the Mortaeus flower for Merlin's cure, Arthur's frantic pleading to save Merlin led to a misunderstanding that actually convinced Uther to take the flower to Gaius.
Now all Arthur has to do is explain to Merlin why Uther thinks they are lovers.
And while Uther is supportive of the relationship, he requires it kept secret. But in his paranoia, Uther misinterprets every innocent interaction between the two as something far more intimate, to the embarrassment of everyone involved.
And then the knights begin showing up...

Summary
It’s that time old tale, rewoven to fit: Merlin loves Arthur. But this is Arthur’s story. And, well... Arthur is thick. Cue six years of heartbreak, anger, loss, and most of all: love. There are people coming together and falling apart. There is awkwardness and pining and running away. And sometimes, at the end of it all, sometimes there’s a happy ending.

Summary
Arthur Pendragon belongs to an elite Wildland firefighting division known as Smokejumpers. A well-trained unit of men and women who jump from planes with their parachutes, courage, strength, and all the gear they can carry to attack fires in remote and dangerous areas to put them out before they can spread. They risk their lives, spending weeks and months away from family and their regular lives to protect and manage the forests.
After the death of his mentor and dear friend Leon in a wildfire, Arthur is to step into his shoes and train the latest crop of rookies. One of which just happens to be Merlin Ambrose, the kid he used to pick on and torment back in school. A skinny genius with glasses and big ears, who would be much better suited as a college professor, not someone who could ever hope to survive Smokejumper training.
Then Merlin walks in the door and upends Arthur's world. This Merlin is not the same kid he once knew. This Merlin is a heartbroken father of a five-year-old son whose mother Freya died in childbirth. An experienced firefighter, more than capable of not only becoming a Smokejumper but of being one of the best. In the process, Arthur realizes a few things about himself and Merlin... -

Summary
(Hope)
Morgana has finally made the move they've all been dreading: invading Camelot, with Agravaine leading the charge. Arthur and Merlin are ousted, half his knights are locked up by his sister, and the rest are scattered among his missing people. Running into the frankincense smugglers he'd spent the last year looked for is just cosmic mockery of his failure as a king. Guinevere waits in Ealdor, danger closing in whilst Arthur and Merlin have a lot to explain.
And Arthur finally gets to see that stupid rock in the forest everyone's been nattering on about. What idiot thought sticking a sword in a stone was a good idea?

Summary
Arthur is young, gorgeous, talented, and captain of one of the best football teams in England; his life should be perfect. But he can't keep a girlfriend for more than a few months, and it's not just because he isn't ready to settle down. When his most recent girlfriend dumps him, he has a rough night at the pub and has to be dragged home by his neighbour, Merlin. Merlin is an archivist, a Ph.D student, and he hates football almost as much as he hates Arthur. They both have their own reasons for not wanting to spend time with each other, but after that disastrous night, remaining silent neighbors doesn't seem like much of an option anymore.

Summary
Canon-era AU. With the threat from Morgana and her forces growing by the day, coupled with the legalisation of magic in Camelot still in its infancy, Arthur feels that his kingdom is floundering. He agrees to a political marriage with Merlin, the young leader of the Druids, in order to secure Camelot's future and to ally himself with the one person who might be able to defeat Morgana. A marriage of convenience soon starts to become something more, and Arthur finds himself learning things about himself and his kingdom he would never have imagined, while forging a genuine connection with someone who seems to truly understand him.

Summary
When Merlin Ambrose moves to his father's childhood home, the mountain town of Fern Creek, Oregon, to help his recently widowed Aunt Finna run the General Store, she warns him not to go near the old cabin in the woods. The man who lives there is a recluse and is likely to shoot him for trespassing. Of course, Merlin, being a child prodigy and genius computer hacker, cannot resist the temptation—the moment he sets eyes on the man, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to him.
Arthur Erickson is content, living in his cabin with Kizzy and Sixer, his two Australian Shepherds, forging beautiful knives and building furniture. The last thing he needs is a nosey and annoying neighbor kid poking around on his property, driving him mad, and asking questions that Arthur cannot answer. Arthur soon finds his defenses crumbling against that smile and the mirthful blue eyes.
When Arthur's past catches up with him, Merlin gets caught up in a game of cat and mouse with a serial killer. While the whole town believes that Arthur is behind the murder of a young woman, Merlin knows he is innocent. He refuses to believe that the man he has come to love is a killer and will do anything to clear his name.

Summary
Merlin had thought he'd escaped small-town life for good once he'd finally left for the big city. Of course, he hadn't thought that he might feel just as stuck there as he had at home.
When he inherits his great-uncle's bookstore, he realises that turning it into the kind of community space he'd always dreamed of might just be the thing he needs to get his own writing -- his whole life, really -- back on track.
Even if he has to move home, and put up with a posh, irritating city lawyer named Arthur Pendragon, to do it.
