Summary
Arthur Pendragon was ten years old when he first realized that he had never received a hug. He was fifteen years old when he noticed that even though he was training with the knights almost every day, he wasn’t one of the knights. He was twenty years old when his father decided that a scrawny boy with two left feet was to work as his personal servant. And although Merlin continued to cross every imaginable line between servant and prince, he never touched him.
Arthur Pendragon was twenty-five years old when he first got drunk enough to complain about it all.

Summary
All Merlin was expecting was a night off, maybe he'd have a glass of wine or read a book later, but for now he was content to sit by fire with his mending. He wasn't expecting a surly Arthur to come back to his rooms hours before he was due, his foul mood caused by some stupid Lord or other laughing at the surprising fact that (or at least Merlin thought so) the Prince was still a virgin. Even more surprising was that Arthur took Merlin's advice on the matter, arranging a tryst with a recently widowed Lady so-and-so, only for him to realize too late what a stupid idea that was.
Since he can't cancel now, Arthur demands Merlin teach him everything he knows about sex, which definitely isn't another stupid idea and definitely won't lead to at least one (or both) falling in love.

Summary
“No,” he pleads. "Father, please. Merlin is not to blame for anything. I’ll accept any punishment you want to give me, but please..." he can't lose Merlin again. He can not.
Uther seems to sense his anguish, because a bit of bewilderment creeps into his harsh expression.
“What is it about this boy?” There's a dangerous suspicion in the king's voice. “He makes my son risk his life and the lives of his knights for him. And the Great Dragon, for some reason, keeps him alive and uses him as a hostage. Why?" he walks towards the prince almost threateningly. “What else are you hiding from me, Arthur?” he demands, his eyes growing colder.
OR
After Arthur rescues Merlin from The Great Dragon he has some explaining to do. To the king, and maybe to himself too. Sequel to "Saving the Dragonlord's son".

Summary
Arthur Pendragon has spent his whole life untouched—by kindness, by desire, or anything resembling real intimacy. It never mattered. Not until a certain annoying manservant came to Camelot—Merlin—who disregarded all strict royal etiquette and showed no restraint when it came to sudden, reckless displays of affection. Now, there’s something impossible in the space between them, something Arthur doesn’t know how to name—only that he aches to close the distance.

A slow-burn touched-starved Arthur Pendragon story.

Guys, there was only one bed.
Guys, some obscure quest in the cold far-up mountains made them "huddle for warmth".
Guys, they might give in to this farm fantasy of theirs.
Can't I just put all the tropes in there?

Summary
“Arthur, we need to talk, my… magic-“
“Merlin,” Arthur interrupts, because he cannot have that conversation – or any conversation – now. “We will talk about it, I promise.” Because they will. There’s so much he needs to say, and ask, and possibly yell for. “But I say shagging first, talking later, yeah?”
Or
Arthur lets it slip that he knows about Merlin’s magic when they’re about to have sex for the first time. Oh, and he also lets it slip he might be a tiny bit in love with him. And that he maybe, possibly, also wants to marry him one day. Oops.

Usually Arthur’s issues are an easy guess. Some brazen adventure that Merlin needs to assist with.
And this time isn’t exactly an exception, yet is entirely different all the same.

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
What Arthur knows: Merlin, his clumsy and foolish servant, is actually quite smart. He’s also loyal, and brave, and in many ways the reason Arthur has so many good people in his life.
The goal: Make Merlin realize how important he is to Arthur, no matter how stubborn he's clearly chosing to be about it.
What Arthur does not know, yet: Merlin has magic. Also they're very slightly a little bit in love.
It's going to take them a while to figure it all out. Meanwhile the knights have known for ages, Gwen figures it out pretty quick, and pretty much all of Camelot has also known ever since that weird peasant stumbled through the gates and challenged the Prince all those years ago.

Summary
“For what it’s worth, I truly believe there’s someone out there who’s right for you. I believe there’s someone for everyone.”
This time, Arthur let the tears spill over. “You mean that?”
“I do.” And God, Arthur believed him.
He found himself wishing, once again, that he were like everyone else.
And as surprising as it was, he found himself wishing that Merlin was his person.
But Arthur wasn’t like everyone else. And Merlin wasn’t his person.

Summary
"Sometimes, while Merlin dressed or undressed him, Arthur would imagine kissing him. The idea had always been tempting, even before he really understood what that might be like. Now, the urge was physically painful."
Arthur and Gwen attend a brothel together, where Gwen has her fun and Arthur has a realization. Upon returning home, Arthur’s once manageable desires are much harder to ignore.

Summary
He rolled his shoulders and sighed. “Okay, now onto the consummation part. Kissing does not lead to children, Arthur.”
Merlin watched as he cycled through a few emotions, namely shock, disbelief, scepticism and curiosity. He was silent for a long time before Arthur managed a dazed, “Really?”
“Do you think pigs snog each other to produce piglets?” asked Merlin flatly. The notion did seem strange but Arthur hadn’t ever watched with extreme interest to find out how baby piglets were made. They could have very well kissed, for all he knew. Arthur told Merlin as such and he merely sighed again. “Okay, you know what?"
Or Arthur is wildly clueless of his marital duties and despite Merlin's efforts, he's just not getting it. It's a good thing Merlin is happy to show him exactly what he needs to do.

Summary
Gwaine’s jaw drops a little open as he works it open and close furiously, speechless, before he laughs, squaring his shoulders back and lifting his chin back at Arthur, cocky, pretending to be cool and collected. “Oh yeah? You think you can handle me?”
Arthur looks him deep in the eyes. “Oh I can do so much more than handle you, darling. You. Me. Tonight. Right in my chambers.”
(Or, two idiots being freaky idiots. That's it. That's the plot. )

one bed trope for Merthur because i don't see enough of the trope on Ao3!!
____________________________________________________________________________
"MERLIN!"
Merlins eyes burst open as strangled gasps leave his gaping mouth. His lungs burn for oxygen and a cold sweat settles on him from his body's struggle. Arthurs eyes are panicked and frantic searching merlin's as if he may disappear any minute.
'Merlin you have to breathe.'
A calloused hand is placed on his shaking chest, guiding his breathing in and out.
