Summary
Merlin has insomnia and some nights are worse than others. Luckily, Arthur is there to take care of him.
----------
“I'm not sick!” Merlin insisted, trying to force a laugh. The thought of being dismissed made his stomach churn unpleasantly. “I just-” he stopped, viciously biting his own lip to prevent from saying anything else.
Arthur's eyes zeroed in on Merlin's mouth before lifting again to his eyes. “You just…?” His hand came up, fingers curling around Merlin's chin, thumb gently dragging over the lip trapped between his teeth.
Merlin wasn't sure if it was the soft tone in Arthur's voice, or the gentle touch on his mouth, but he let out a shaky exhale. “I'm sorry, my lord, I simply wasn't able to sleep last night. I'll be-”
“One night of no sleep has you walking around so unaware?” Arthur pressed.

Summary
Whether it was because of his bright smile, or his expressive eyes – which tended to beam and dart and flutter about like lively blue butterflies, alighting but briefly on every surface – or the contrast his glowing skin made to his raven hair… Arthur did not know, nor care. Sometimes it was one, sometimes it was all of them. But when he got to that point of reasoning, he forced himself to look away, and tried to think of something else.
The truth was, it was all a bit too much. Merlin was a bit too much.
- Or, the one in which Arthur is attracted to Merlin, and handles it... prattishly.

You Want Me So Bad by ReaderRevolution

Summary
Danny leaned closer, his grin sharp. “You’ve been breathing down my neck since day one. If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were obsessed with me.”
Damian scoffed, but before he could reply, Danny leaned even closer, his voice dropping to a mocking whisper. “You want me so bad it makes you look stupid.”
The words hit like a building, reverberating through Damian’s brain. He froze, staring at Danny, who raised an eyebrow, clearly waiting for some scathing comeback. But Damian had…
Damian’s expression flickered. First confusion, then disbelief, followed swiftly by something Danny could only describe as existential horror.
Or,
The moment Damian realizes he is attracted to the idiot called Fenton.

The Phantom In The Attic by ReaderRevolution

Summary
By the end of the week, Danny wasn’t sure what kind of asylum he’d crawled into.
The butler tried to feed him. (He didn’t eat human food anymore. The man looked so sad when Danny refused the soup that Danny almost felt guilty.)
Someone strung up crosses in the attic. (Danny ignored them. But when they brought up putting in Christmas lights? He hissed on instinct and nearly melted through the floorboards.)
The angry sword kid tried to evict him again. Danny iced him into a snowdrift in the corner. (Not his fault if he kept coming back.)
The insomniac came back with a stethoscope, for some reason. He pressed it against the casket lid and muttered about “no heartbeat.” Danny gave one loud, dramatic snore in response.
All Danny wanted was one thing. Just one.
Sleep.
Was that so hard?
Apparently, in this house, yes.
Or,
Danny just wanted a nap, but instead he got a nosy family and a stuffed bat named Steve.

Summary
There is another meaning to the name ‘Emrys’. It is one often forgotten in favor of prophecies and destiny and fate. Forgotten in favor of titles and lords and loyalty. But Merlin still remembers it, even as he does his best to forget. It was in the shiver that went down his spine at the translation, the sense of familiarity and knowing.
He tried to forget like all the rest, but there is no denying what he is.

Summary
Arthur would have been more than happy to live the rest of his life (or his father’s life, more specifically) with his pretty blonde head buried under the sand.
Trust Merlin (and a farmer!), to not only ruin his plans, but also shamelessly lie.
Also, Arthur was so getting new knights.In other words, Arthur wants a vacation and Merlin is a lying liar who lies. Normal life in Camelot.

Summary
When a man claiming to be Emrys arrives at court Arthur is mostly annoyed, after all, he knows who Emrys is and it's not the random man standing in his throne room.
But in the end that's not the really important thing anyway.

Summary
Arthur wasn’t sure what this charm would do, if anything, but he’d held it in his hands, and he’d pressed it to his lips, and he’d willed all of his strength and protection and fervent desire for Merlin to be okay into the metal.
He’d broken his father’s laws for Merlin, Uther’s one cardinal rule, and that had to count for something. Arthur just wasn’t sure what.
…
Arthur notices the cuts and bruises on Merlin’s skin and assumes the worst. Out of options, he turns to magic for help.
