Summary
Morgana opened the door to reveal Leon’s smiling face, Gwen hanging on one of his arms. They noticed the wine with narrowed eyes as Morgana dramatically poured herself a glass three sizes too big without uttering a word to suggest why.
“What –?” Leon’s face scrunched up in confusion.
“Arthur,” Morgana declared, gulping down too much wine at once in order to prepare herself for the bone-chilling announcement, “is bringing his new boyfriend over tonight.”

Summary
5 times they don’t acknowledge his magic, and one time they do.
--
They both stared at each other for a long moment, silently daring the other to acknowledge what just happened. Merlin’s eyes glinting gold, the goblet stopping without him touching it—it was undeniable.
There was no way Merlin could lie his way out of this.
“...Wind is awfully strong today, sire.”
Unfortunately, Merlin is stupid.
“...Yes. Quite.”
Fortunately, Arthur is too. -

“Where were you at Pride? I thought you came back here with El and I after the march.”
“I did!” Merlin protested. “For maybe twenty minutes. Then I met a very nice gentleman and was not here anymore.”
“Slag,” she said fondly. “If you had been here, engaging with your community like I was—”
“Excuse me, I was very engaged—”

Summary
Arthur sports a neon orange crown made of cardboard. Their daughter, with her rainbow coloured blanket-turned-cape, pink crown and toilet paper roll sword, is safe in his arms. Around Arthur's shoulders, a ruby red blanket serves as a cape. It flares and swoops as they spin around and around.
It’s missing a golden dragon on the left shoulder, Merlin thinks offhandedly.
And then Merlin remembers.

Summary
“I don’t have a crush,” he says, crashing back to earth with dreadful swiftness.
“Sure,” Percy says, in such a way as to suggest that Arthur is very lucky that it is Percy in here, and not Gwaine. It is a very expressive ‘sure’.

“Please fire me,” Merlin laughs. “I dare you to sack me for longer than two days.”
“You don’t think I can make it two days without you?” The idea is absurd. As if he needs Merlin of all people.

Summary
Merlin studies a lot, likes to cook, and thinks his neighbour is an obnoxious(ly attractive) prat--and almost certainly straight, besides.
Arthur works too much, barely owns casual clothes, and wishes his gorgeous new neighbour swung his way--and didn't hate his guts.
Enter meddling friends and sisters, a no-pics-allowed dating app, and a fluffy menace of a cat. Nothing about this could possibly get confusing.

“Merlin?” Arthur squinted at the ridiculously attractive, shirtless, twenty-something in front of him and tried to connect him with his toothy, scrawny playmate who would always fight kids twice his size on the playground. “I – I mean Emmett. Emmett Ambrose. You’re Emmett Ambrose?”
“Fuck,” Emmett – no, it wasn’t Emmett, it was Merlin – gaped at Arthur incredulously. "Holy shit."

How to Block Tags With Site Skins (And Get Real Specific About It) by najio
Fandoms: No Fandom
25 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
Just some info I've gathered over the past couple of weeks, about how to:
1. Block tags using Site Skins, block only fics that contain both tag A and tag B, and block fics with a tag that contains a certain phrase, unless they are a specific whitelisted tag
2. Highlight the tags in pretty colors! Or bold, or hide them!
3. Block mega-crossovers with a million different fandoms
4. Select for/block fics that are completed/rated something/have a certain category/don't have summaries
5. Block everything that doesn't have a certain tag, or one of a list of tags
6. Block orphan_account and tag block by author
7. Block only tags of specific types (fandoms, relationships, freeforms, etc.)
8. Block fics focused on original characters, and/or fics without any tags of a specific type
9. Block every pairing with two characters in it—case insensitive, any order, no matter how many other people are also in the tag
10. Block by number of tagsSeries
