Summary
On a plastic stick there is a clear, dark plus sign.
Positive. Fucking positive.
His phone, clenched tightly in his hand, rings. It's Ilya.
Shane turns to the toilet, drops to his knees and throws up.
Or
Shane finds out he is pregnant in a middle of a play-off run.- Language:

Summary
This was so unfair. Why did Merlin have to suffer a perpetual state of blue balls because his obnoxious(ly irresistible) flatmate had exhibitionist tendencies? Why did he have to bite his lip to keep quiet while he jerked himself off furiously, imagining all the sounds he could pull out of Arthur if he only ever got a chance to get his hands on the infuriating man?
The frustration and desire that had pent up over the past months suddenly surged to the surface. Before he knew what had possessed him, Merlin was walking to the living room, over to where Arthur was sleeping soundly.

Summary
Arthur Pendragon, the youngest Detective Inspector in Camelot, whose job is rumoured to be cursed, stumbles over a series of crimes no one can explain. Merlin Emrys, a constantly broke student working at a shady nightclub to pay the bills, comes in as a sketch artist - one with an unusual gift. The shadow of magic, supposedly eradicated centuries ago, makes things so much more dangerous for everyone. It's hardly a good time to fall in love.

Summary
Merlin thought he would get used to it all—to missed calls and failed Skype sessions, to sleepless nights and lonely mornings, to taking each breath and hoping that somewhere, oceans and miles away, Arthur was doing the same. To counting down the days until Arthur was back home again, safe. Alive.
He was wrong.

Save A Horse, Give A Cowboy A Handjob (or however the saying goes) by lainisthename

Summary
Merlin's back from a semester in Cornwall and road-tripping through the West with Gwen when she drags him to a local rodeo. He expects boredom, maybe sunburn, definitely nachos. What he doesn’t expect is Arthur Pendragon: Cheyenne, Wyoming’s golden boy and rodeo champion.
One awkward ride home, one too-small truck cab, and one very complicated cowboy later, Merlin's night ends somewhere between a steering wheel and a hard place.

Summary
Thou shalt not fuck your best mate’s dad.
And to Merlin’s credit, he doesn’t just bend Gwaine’s dad over the nearest surface and go at it with him the minute his son sets foot on the train bound for Edinburgh.
That would be far too simple, too easy to dismiss or write off as temporary madness, scratching a decades-long itch.
It’s more complicated than that.

Summary
When Arthur drops out of university, his mother sends him to work at Aunt Alice's bakery in Northern Ireland in the busy weeks leading up to Christmas. Helping out in the bakery is hard work, but Arthur doesn't mind so much, not when the deal is sweetened by one of Alice's bakers. Merlin is beautiful and kind, and he has sacrificed his long-term relationship in order to follow dreams that lead him out of the village he's spent all his life in.
Arthur has always thought himself to not get attached easily to other people romantically, but when Merlin, against all odds, shows interest in him, things get even more complicated....

Summary
(Adjective) slang term combining the words sex and exiled, meaning that you are locked out of the room so that your roommate can have some uninterrupted coitus.
Ex: "Arthur Pendragon, one night in September when he finds a sock on the knob of his shared dorm room." He then falls into a semi-public sex romp with some pasty guy he meets in his floor’s lounge. It’s clear after the next few inadvertent meetings, they won't easily get rid of each other, so why fight it right?

Summary
All of Arthur’s dedication to being a perfect prince and a dutiful son has led him to an arranged engagement that comes with more than its fair share of danger. Grappling with the stress of the situation and questioning his place in his own life leaves Arthur desperate for a moment’s reprieve.
Constantly running into the foreign assassin that Cenred’s court brought along for the wedding is surely dangerous. But Arthur can’t help being drawn to Merlin’s sharp blue eyes and rebellious spirit.
They say that curiosity killed the cat. But satisfaction brought it back. Could choosing something for himself for the first time really be so risky?

Searing pain and beautiful pleasure (the agony and ecstasy of waiting) by we_try121

Summary
"Care to explain what this curse is then."
Merlin did not. In fact he could think of few worse experiences than the one that was about to befall him, but he supposed he'd have to. His eyes rolled skywards, silently praying for strength, then dropped to the floor in front of Arthur.
"The curse is meant to help produce children. It makes a couple feel-" he took a deep breath, "aroused, so they lay together with the hopes of having a child. The curse lifts when the couple-" he waved his hands around a bit, "-y'know or when it loses power."
Merlin left out that it was meant for magical couples, with the hopes of producing magical children, in order to repopulate after the Purge.
...
"We just need to wait out the curse, it will lose power eventually."
"How long will that take?" Arthur asked, his breathing sounding more laboured.
Merlin swallowed harshly. "A couple of um-" he really didn't want to think about this next fact "- days, maybe."
"Days!" Arthur squawked.

Summary
Merlin had thought he'd escaped small-town life for good once he'd finally left for the big city. Of course, he hadn't thought that he might feel just as stuck there as he had at home.
When he inherits his great-uncle's bookstore, he realises that turning it into the kind of community space he'd always dreamed of might just be the thing he needs to get his own writing -- his whole life, really -- back on track.
Even if he has to move home, and put up with a posh, irritating city lawyer named Arthur Pendragon, to do it.

Summary
Merlin chuckled slowly, placing one hand against the small of his back while the other gripped his hip tightly. “You know, I think I like you much better like this.”
“Oh, shut up,” Arthur huffed, face flushing.
“But you look so pretty on my cock,” Merlin purred, practically preening behind him. “All spread out over my desk… Mm, I could get used to this.”
Or
Arthur gets fucked over the desk by his professor.
(Unfortunately, sleeping with the professor doesn't actually equal an automatic pass. Fortunately, Arthur doesn't quite mind.)

Summary
Arthur has never gotten along with his roommate. After a particularly awful night, Merlin is the last person he expects to make it all better.
•
"Merlin," He breathed, staring up at those piercing blue eyes he knew all too well.
“Who the fuck did this to you.”
Merlin’s voice was quiet, rasped with the remnants of his sleep and an octave lower than usual. It wasn't the fury in his voice that scared Arthur; it was the twisted desire he felt upon hearing it.Bookmarked by Batman_51

Summary
It started as it always does, with Gwaine opening his idiotic mouth and uttering the most idiotic combination of words known to man.
“The princess and his lover boy over here would know,”
.
In which Gwaine makes an accusation that Merlin quickly deflects, leading to Arthur eventually redefining their entire relationship and coming to terms with his inner turmoil with the (unwanted but ultimately appreciated) assisstance of their friends.
