Summary
Being the manservant of a Crown-Prince was not an easy task. It involved washing his clothes, polishing his armour, mucking out the stables, cleaning his chambers, helping him dress up, seeing him naked every day, bathing him, fending off his sexual advances, and so much more. . .
Did I mention fending off his sexual advances?
Just checking.Series

Summary
Merlin saved Camelot with his magic—but the display was terrifying enough to turn even his closest friends away. Now, the people who once cared for him look at him with nothing but fear. He’s been replaced in Arthur’s and the queen’s chambers, scorned in the streets, and pushed out from every last one of his roles.
He drifts through the castle like a ghost, watching Arthur slowly restore magic to the kingdom—without him.
He tells himself it’s enough. That it has to be enough.
Then a visiting kingdom arrives—openly magical, warm, and welcoming. For the first time in what feels like an eternity, Merlin is seen, valued, liked.
He stayed for the promise of Albion. But maybe Albion has come—and Merlin simply isn’t part of it.

Summary
“They think I’m your-!” Merlin all but shouts before slapping a hand over his mouth, patches of red high upon his cheekbones.
Arthur swallows heavily over a suddenly dry mouth. “So it seems,” he stammers.
“Well that’s-” Merlin’s voice is two octaves too high and he clears his throat, “That’s ridiculous. That’s madness. You’re right, Beddyn’s men are useless. See the strangest things, this lot, impossible things.”
***
Arthur very much likes his bed. It's warm and comfortable and most importantly all his. There isn't a time he'd consider letting anyone else take some of his plush blankets or kick his feet, let alone letting his guard down enough to sleep beside them.
At least, there wasn't. Over the years, things have a terrible habit of changing. The closer Arthur finds himself drifting towards his manservant- his friend- his best and only friend- the more he finds himself reaching for his warmth and squinty-eyed smiles. After all, what could possibly weave its way between the trust they've built?
Or: Five times Arthur shares his bed with Merlin and one time Merlin shares his bed with him.

Summary
Months after Arthur learns the truth about Merlin’s magic, their bond deepens in quiet, sacred ways.
In the stillness of shared nights, something begins to change—Merlin cries golden tears at the height of intimacy, unaware of the magic spilling from him.
Arthur says nothing, holding the silence like a vow, until the phenomenon becomes impossible to ignore.
A story of devotion, transformation, and the alchemy of being truly seen.

Summary
Merlin had had a string of lovers across his years, although lovers is a strong word isn't it? They were more convenient happenings, nothing more and nothing less, certainly not ever comparable to– to– to someone Merlin can’t quite remember at the moment.
There is no point dwelling in the past. What has happened has happened. Merlin knows this well. Only the present matters now - he is not concerned about the future as he will get there when he will, he has all the time in the world to wait. He’s so alone.

Summary
"You're not..." Arthur paused, lips turning dry all of a sudden. Merlin looked at him in confusion. "...you're not that useless after all."
"I thought that's been established for a while now, Arthur," replied Merlin with an easy smile.
"Wait, no, that's not the words I meant," the king grumbled to himself, feeling helpless and frustrated with himself at once.Arthur is not good with romantic and gentle words.
But Merlin understands.OR,
In which some people of Camelot still have an unhealthy fear of magic (f*ck you Uther) and consequently, Merlin throwing around thunderbolts is not too appreciated, and an emotionally-constipated Arthur is struggling(TM) to help his consort.Just Merthur's married couple stuff.

Summary
In Which A Young Woman Approaches Camelot To Report A Monster Attack
* ** ** ** *
“Well, Merlin—” Bessie nearly giggled; the King had a strange way of saying Merlin’s name that felt as if he were compacting an entire speech conveying a wealth of affection, exasperation, trust, and something else she couldn’t properly name into just two syllables— “Do you know what this thing is, or do we need to fetch the books?”
“A basilisk, if we’re lucky,” Merlin said at once. “Or a cockatrice if we aren’t. You’re lucky it was newly-born, or it would have changed you completely into stone.”

Summary
Arthur sputtered. “I-I’m not sure that’s wise, I mean, no — I —”
Merlin interrupted. “That sounds like a good idea to me! No offense, but you guys are pretty useless against magical opponents.” He threw a smile at Lancelot that the Knight returned. “I mean, what’s the use having the most powerful sorcerer in the world on your payroll if you don’t use him?”
-OR-
5 times Merlin tells Arthur he's the most powerful sorcerer in the world, and 1 time Arthur believes him.
