Summary
It was always Arthur coming to Merlin. It was always Arthur making the first touch. It was Arthur leaving the kiss or the embrace last. Though it was obvious that Merlin had just as much desire and enthusiasm as his lover, Merlin had never made the first move.

Summary
Dr. Percy Chevalier knew it was a risk to hire the mysterious and eccentric Dr. E. M. Ambrose to help him understand his site-- but with time, and funding, running out, he has no other choice. The archaeology isn't adding up, and Percy just knows there's more to his forest in Gloucestershire than meets the eye.

Summary
"Morgana looked back over to Merlin who looked to be in a similar state. “I think this night can’t conclude without a song”
Merlin's eyes went comically wide and he was shaking his head “No no no. No one wants to hear that”
Morgana chuckled. Merlin truly has a lovely voice but he rarely sings in public only performing for the two of them in the relative safety of Morgana's chambers.
Gwen's face morphed into a pout and she leaned into Merlin. “Come on I’m getting married it deserves a song”
Morgana let her own lips purse. Merlin looked between the two of them. Morgana knew he wouldn’t be able to refuse the both of them when she first asked. He never could."
i.e 4 times Merlin sings about love + 1 time someone sings about their love of him

Summary
It would be just his luck—his inheritance, really—to land in a Camelot that quivered at any notion of different, unsure, or even extraordinary.
Joke’s on them all, because something wonderfully extraordinary lived right in the heart of the city. And if Arthur remembered correctly, it usually walked through town right after lunch.
[ Aged up Arthur accidentally travels back in time and latches onto Merlin like glue. ]

Summary
"Gwaine's mouth fell open and he reached for his sword "You're a sorcerer" he more stated than asked.
Merlin had thought about telling Gwaine many times before. Lancelot was sure that he would be understanding and had tried to get him to tell him for months now. He was expecting a lot of things hurt pain betrayal what he was not expecting was the rage that burned in Gwaine's eyes. The disgust that lurked there too. He didn't realize until this moment how much that hatred and disgust would hurt. It felt like a million razors were trying to dig his heart out. Before he could even begin to answer Gwaine had turned and was yelling for the guards."
I.E. Merlin gets trapped in his worst nightmare.

Summary
He wanted to kill Arthur.
He wanted to erase this feeling that bled through his body with each new memory, he wanted the shudder that accompanied his lungs to disappear, and he wanted the normality of this feeling to not be there.
Though without this feeling, no one would recognise him. He would be an entirely different person.
And gods, that thought hurt.
So, just as he did with his magic, Merlin hid his feelings from Arthur.

Summary
Arthur kisses Merlin in an attempt to save their lives. It becomes a lesson in trust and talking about your emotions.

Summary
“Merlin,” he starts, eyes hooded, “have I ever told you just how wonderful you look today?”
Merlin stares at him in return, and Arthur takes his silence as an invitation to step closer. He reaches a hand up and slowly begins caressing Merlin’s face. He then holds his cheek softly while looking down at him. Merlin looks back up at him confused.
Arthur then leans down and kisses him tenderly against the lips like he’s afraid one wrong move will make Merlin disappear forever. Merlin, in return, doesn’t react and stands there frozen.
To be truthful, Merlin doesn’t know what the fuck is going on. One moment Arthur looks like he’s about to turn him into a shish kebab, and the next he’s kissing him. Merlin can’t say he’s not enjoying it though. At this thought he begins to respond to Arthur’s kiss, moving his arms to wrap around his waist.Oh
Oh
When Merlin finds out about Sophia enchanting Arthur with a love spell, he tries to counteract it with his own, in the hopes they'll cancel each other out. However, things don't go as planned.
(bunch of silly romance stuff ensues)

Summary
The sky is covered in rain clouds. Dark and heavy they hang from the heavens, promising muddy shoes and clammy skin.
Tonight is the night.Merlin takes a deep breath and smells the life within the air. It won’t be long until this same breeze will smell of death and blood. Instead of laughter or silent anticipation, he will hear the screams of his slaughtered enemies and tend to the wounds of his men. It will smell like victory. It will be the end of a century-old war.
Magic is trickling down his veins, reminding him of the promise to his father. Tonight is the night that Camelot will fall. He clenches his fists. Tonight is the night that he will finally kill Arthur Pendragon.
Alternatively: Merlin and Arthur are Kings from enemy kingdoms. Just when they are about to kill each other, their bodies are switched and they have to pretend to be negotiating peace.
