Summary
Merlin and Arthur would unite the lands of Albion, one day. Merlin thought that day could actually come, if only Arthur stopped getting into moods all the time.
(Or: five times Arthur was jealous and Merlin didn't notice, and the one time he did.)

Bookmark Notes:
But as he said goodbye to the first person he ever loved, all that had bloomed, died. He would remember that too.)
___________________
(There was that word again. Merlin would think of it in five years time when Lancelot married Gwen, that sweet smile pointed at her rather than him. Lovely, he'd think, void of bitterness and filled with happiness. He'd think of the intoxicating intensity of Lancelot's kisses and his heart would lift in joy for Gwen. They deserved each other. Merlin would always have this one night, encased in honesty and incorruption and magic. Always.)
___________________
He knew it, as she laid in his arms. "You made me feel loved," she said, grateful and dying, and all Merlin could think was you were. You were loved.
___________________
(They wouldn't get the chance. Soon Merlin would become unavailable and Gwaine would meet Percival and become faithful for the first time in his life, ecstatic and in love. Merlin would be the first to congratulate him.)
___________________
(Of course one day, he wouldn't have to picture it, and Morgana would prefer the willowy lines and alabaster complexion of pretty Princess Mithian, rather than remaining hopeless and yearning for someone she couldn't have. Happy endings were a possibility, but they just didn't know it yet. Settling for one another would do for now.)
___________________
"Without a shirt on?" Arthur asked. Merlin gnawed on his lip, trying not to look Arthur in the eye, but he could clearly see the moment the recognition spread on his face. "You... You two?"Merlin turned helplessly to Morgana for assistance but it was to no avail, since all she did was sit there looking stricken, frozen in place as Arthur worked out what was going on. "Arthur I.. I'm sorry," she began, voice wavering.
"Morgana. You know how I..." Arthur's voice cracked. He looked completely crestfallen, and Merlin didn't understand. Was Arthur in love with her? Merlin had thought they were more like siblings than lovers.
___________________
Elyan stopped him with a resolute hand on his chest the day Merlin moved to kiss him. "Alas, my heart belongs to another," he admitted remorsefully. "I'm sorry, Merlin.""Fucking Leon," Merlin muttered under his breath, and stepped back. He'd seen him hanging around here a lot recently. "I didn't realise you were spoken for. I apologise."

Summary
Uther thinks Arthur and Merlin are together. Neither corrects him.
Now the kingdom thinks so too. Servants, knights, Gwen, and Morgana all have opinions.
It’s ridiculous, it’s awkward… and Arthur isn’t sure he actually wants to fix it.Series

Summary
Merlin hated his neighbor.
It wasn't an epic hatred, like the one between dark wizards and the chosen ones chosen by a Prophecy (Merlin loved Harry Potter and wouldn't apologize, sorry); it was a more... practical hatred. The kind that arose when the neighbor started the washing machine at two in the morning. Or parked in his neighbor’s driveway. Or worse yet, jogged at six in the morning in front of your door just because he was the devil's most loyal and tried to damn people to Hell by stimulating their murderous instincts.

Summary
“Thank you, Lord Pendragon.”
“You must be under an incorrect impression. I am not a part of the royal family.”
“Now, now. There’s no need to be so shy about it."Or
Everyone assumes Merlin and Arthur are married so they, of course, pretend to be married when visiting some noble. Merlin ends up being too busy playing physician to find time to figure anything so Arthur uses his braincell as they navigate rumours, their consequences, and their feelings.-

Summary
“That's a stupid bet and I'm not taking it.” Seriously, who did Gwaine think he was? Of course he wasn't going to agree to such a idiotic thing!
“Why not, because you know that you suck at courting and are completely aware that Merlin would never fall for anything? Because you’re too much of a scaredy-cat to actually try and get a kiss from him? Because you suck at romance?”
Arthur just stared at the man before him, truly regretting ever setting a foot in the stupid tavern. “How long will I have?”Gwaine likes to make bets and Arthur is madly in love. He is—unfortunately for everyone—out of chicken, so he’s only got destiny to help him out now.

Summary
Kilgarrah has been cryptic at best and infuriating at worst. Merlin's not sure what he expected, but surely the great lizard could've given him a heads up that he'd start growing SCALES.
That's not the least of it, and he can't exactly ask for a work leave to get his brand new claws in order. What's he gonna tell Arthur? And is it going to be even a little bit believable?Series

Summary
Arthur sinks into the bathwater, closing his eyes. He can feel Merlin scrubbing the parts of him that he can’t reach, and suddenly it feels meaningless and cheap. He doesn’t want Merlin scrubbing him if Merlin doesn’t mean it. And so he wrestles the soap and washing cloth away from the servant and declares that he’ll do it himself.
And he does. It’s not as nice or as pleasant as having Merlin do it, but he gets the job done. He even manages to wash and rinse his hair, even as his servant stands back with a look of bewilderment on his face.
When Arthur stands up, Merlin steps forward with a towel, but Arthur snatches it out of his grasp. “I can do it. I’m not completely useless, you know.”
Merlin looks more confused than ever. “But I thought that was your calling card. You know, useful in the saddle, useless everywhere else.”
Or: Arthur walks in on Merlin with a girl. But he's not jealous. Definitely not.

“Now tell me, how does a raven-haired beauty such as yourself manage to be a servant of the crown? That is, instead of wearing it while draped in all the finest fabrics of the land.”
“I’m no prince.”
“I’d worship you as though you were.”

Summary
“He gave you a scarf with his mother’s sigil on it? Do you… Christ, boy, do you have any idea what that means?”
“You… Gods, you need to talk to that boy now. He goes around letting you do and say whatever you want, and now he’s giving you gifts. Make him explain royal courting, since you’re obviously the most oblivious person in Camelot.”

Everyone sees what Arthur's doing but Merlin, but maybe they'll get it together this time.-

Summary
Merlin still had Arthur’s mother sigil. The Dorocha had been defeated, neither Arthur nor Merlin was dead and yet Merlin still had it. Which was definitely wrong.
He knew he had to return it to its rightful owner, but he had not found the right moment.

Summary
Merlin can’t remember the last time he’s locked his bedroom door, if ever. But he chooses not to think about it. He merely sulks his way back to his bed, taking a moment to contemplate taking off his trousers and tunic from the night before. He decides not to think about that either.
Instead, he decides not to think at all. He just falls back into his bed, covers up his body more so in shame than for warmth, and closes his eyes.
Basically Merlin is sexually assaulted and this story follows how he and everyone else deals with it.
Spoiler alert: THEY DON'T HANDLE IT WELL.
