Summary
Over the years of having Merlin as his manservant, Arthur learns a lot of secrets about him—except maybe one thing, but in his defense, how was he supposed to know Merlin was running around learning how to fight with his knights?
Or, a sequel to Blood Doesn’t Matter ('Til You Get Cut Open)

Summary
Merlin can't always use magic to protect Arthur and Camelot, so throughout Merlin's decade spent by Arthur's side, the knights of Camelot teach Merlin a thing or two about holding his own.
Or, 5 times a background knight teaches Merlin a different fighting skill, and the 1 time Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table find out (in the coolest way possible, of course).

Summary
“You will make an excellent queen, you do know that, right?” Arthur asks, and there is something tender in his eyes.
Something in her wants to protest. She was the one to introduce the rust. She was the one who mixed in too much iron and upset the delicate balance of nature and magic and steel.
But there is also something in her that thinks—
A spine of steel cannot be too bad a thing.
If Merlin is sunshine, if Gwen is the fire of the forge, if Arthur is the steel between them—
There is something here, brighter than gold, stronger than steel, more enduring than iron. Something that will not rust.
They have to do what they can to make sure that they can actually get to that sunlight.
To get rid of the sorrow staining Merlin’s shoulder, the poison that is spilling through his veins, a sludge that will destroy him.
Gwen needs to be able to see Merlin’s smile again.
And Arthur needs that as well.
(When Gwen uses iron to arrest the Lamia's magical poison to save Merlin's life, she quickly realizes that it does more harm than good. When she arrives back in Camelot, Gaius gives her and Arthur one solution to save Merlin's life: True Love's Kiss.)

Summary
“So,” Arthur says. “This is a bit of a conundrum.”
“Is it?” Gwen asks.
“I think so,” he says, flicking ash off the end of his cigarette. “You see, both Merlin and I fancy you.”
“Arthur!” Merlin squawks, mortified.
“What? We do,” Arthur says, bemused.
Gwen cocks her head. She looks at Arthur, then at Merlin. “You do?” She asks. Merlin nods, quickly. Just once. No point denying it. “All right,” she says.
“Is it?” Merlin asks, entirely aware that he sounds pathetic.
“Well… I mean… yes,” Gwen says, stuttering slightly. “If it’s all right with you both, it’s all right with me.”
Or
Arthur and Merlin are doubles partners, playing their last match as juniors at Wimbledon. They meet Gwen Smith, tennis prodigy, and a different sort of game begins.

Summary
Arthur gets home late one fall evening to find that his hot, sarcastic, across-the-hall neighbor has locked himself out of his apartment. Could inviting him in, just for a moment, lead to something neither of them know they needed?
