Summary
A sound caught Gwaine’s attention as he pushed open the door. He froze, his stomach flipping in arousal. He’d recognise that sound anywhere; the heavy breathing, the stifled moans, the slap of skin hitting skin… He couldn’t stop the way his body responded to the noises, reminding him of how long it had been since he’d had someone in his bed. He also couldn’t control the curiosity that burned through him alongside the desire.

Summary
"It’s driving you mad, isn’t it?” Gwaine asked, and instead of arguing, Merlin was silent. After a few moments, he turned around to face Gwaine, eyes narrowing with caution. “Merlin, I am in no way telling you to give up what you feel for Arthur. But I think you need a way to let off a bit of the tension... Between trusting friends.”
They shared a silence. Though Merlin was clearly confused, Gwaine worried more that the booms of his heart echoed through the chamber. He pinpointed the exact moment realization seeped into Merlin--eyes widening, eyebrows scrunched, mouth open in words of surprise he couldn't yet form.
“Only if and when you want,” Gwaine assured, when he could still convince himself he could overlook his affections for Merlin's sake.
Now, as Merlin moans into Gwaine's mouth, Gwaine wonders how he ever managed to believe his offer would leave him anything but fucked--in both senses of the word.

Summary
Arthur knew what his men got up to, their travels could be lonesome, and anyways, their chastity vows only applied to women, if you wanted to be specific about it. Fine. It wasn’t his business.
But it was certainly his business when it was happening in front of his eyes, and with his manservant, no less!

“Are you alright?” Merlin asked; eyes wide and chest heaving. He held the sword in his hand awkwardly and his words shook escaping him, but he could not pull the wool over Larkin’s eyes any longer.
Larkin scowled at him. “I knew you’d show your true colors eventually.”Series

Summary
“You know my husband well.” Arthur smiled. He should've known this was the case.
Merlin had this tendency to…adopt, for lack of word, young boys who were lost in life.
That’s what had happened to Mordred a few years back. And with another boy called Daegel, who Arthur still didn’t really know where he came from. But one day, he was there, and Merlin decided he was to stay.
Now there were these two orphan boys, young and curious — of course, Merlin would take to them like a duck to water.

Summary
Merlin reveals his magic in the battle against Morgana and Helios.
He wakes up in the prison cell next to Morgana’s.
This is actually not the worst thing that could happen to them— or to Camelot.
…
“State secret,” Morgana said bitterly. “Uther probably killed the sorcerer who did it, but these dungeons were charmed to make sure no one could use their magic down here.”
“The perfect place to store Emrys and the last High Priestess of the Old Religion,” Merlin said wryly.
Morgana gave him a strange look, and Merlin shrugged. He didn’t really understand it either.

Summary
“Merlin, I'm the greatest swordsman in the five kingdoms.” Arthur boasted. “I’ve fought more battles than I can count.”
”I’m aware, sire.”
”And I’ve always survived.”
”Not always.” Merlin muttered.
---
The day Arthur dies is the day Merlin refuses to let end. Again. And again. And again. Merlin’s stuck in a spiral—a dizzying, cruel dance of death and reset. With each attempt, his heart grows heavier, his magic darker, until all he can do is break.
And when the shards of his despair drag Arthur into the storm, the past and present shatter, leaving nothing but raw truth and fragile hope.
Now there's no more running. Just the two of them, the end of the world, and everything left unsaid.

Summary
As a prince and then a king, there have been certain expectations of Arthur. A king is expected to be a leader, to be experienced, both on the battlefield and in the bedroom. As Arthur has grown from a prince into a king, he has done what his knights, his soldiers, even the other nobles expect of him. But he has never truly enjoyed it.
When Arthur lets it slip to Merlin that he doesn’t actually believe most sexual acts to be enjoyable, Merlin takes it upon himself to prove Arthur wrong. What follows for Arthur is the realisation that he is in fact attracted to men, sex in fact can be good and he does in fact have a submissive side.

Summary
Eventually, Arthur had enough. “Come on, Merlin. Whatever it is must be important, and you’re clearly -” Arthur waved his hand impatiently in Merlin’s general direction, “- trying to find the right moment. Well, this is me telling you, this is the right moment. Go ahead.”
Merlin looked to the side. “You’re mistaken, Sire.” Then, half a beat too late for their usual bickering, he added: “As usual.”
“See, Merlin, I don’t think I am.” Arthur leaned back in his chair. “The only question is what it could be, that makes you want to tell me but not want to tell me at the same time.”
Or:
In which Merlin obviously has a secret, and recently crowned King Arthur figures the wrong things out. At least initially. Then, he starts getting frighteningly close to something he, in the end, isn’t sure he wants to know about.
Or:
A story about conversations over a desk.

Summary
Arthur’s heart dropped to his feet. “It’s too hard, Gaius. I can’t do it anymore.” Arthur had never heard Merlin in so much pain before. Not when they’ve been attacked or kidnapped or almost killed. But that, it sounded like Merlin was choking on his own cries, on his own tears, and it took everything Arthur had for him to not ram the door open in that moment. “I can’t keep lying to him. I can’t keep doing this to Arthur!”
Merlin and Gaius were always so busy running around the citadel trying to stop assassins and sorcerers and everything else in-between that they often forgot other people were around. Whether it was the fact that their door being closed didn’t suddenly mean no one would ever be able to hear them, or the fact that talking loudly in a hallway wasn’t a secret place, the two of them seemed to give out more of their treason acts than they knew.
With the Guards and Knights of Camelot stumbling across these two men in various stages of illegal activities, just how long can Merlin stay off the pyre and keep his head? And just how long will it be until it’s Arthur himself who overhears one of their conversations about all the ways they break the law?
