Summary
Ilya Rozanov has been drafted by Boston, the number one pick overall, but his father doesn't want him moving to America and so takes steps to block his visa. He's going to have to go back to Russia and stay there forever and that, thinks Shane Hollander, is wrong.
It's so wrong that Shane can't stop himself from doing something about it. Even though that something is the most reckless, the only reckless thing he's ever done in his life. He marries Rozanov in secret, to keep him out of Russia and put him on a path to Canadian citizenship.
Shane's got a five-year plan to get him there and when you have a plan nothing can go wrong. Right? Right. When you have a solid plan and a marriage that's on paper only there's no risk of feelings getting involved. Not on Rozanov's part and certainly not on Shane's.
Right???
(or, the story of how Shane Hollander fell in love with his own husband)

Summary
Arthur's life is turned upside down when Uther announces his marriage to a woman his children barely know. Enter Hunith and her son, Merlin, who is everything Arthur is not: unapologetically loud-mouthed, rebellious, cocksure and unabashedly queer. He’s also every bloke Arthur ever had a crush on rolled into one, despite wearing a hideous combination of Oxfam bargain bin and Pride parade and playing obnoxious new rave music in a band called “i am magic”.
His unfortunate attraction to Merlin isn’t the only thing Arthur has to deal with: His last year of sixth form lies ahead and satisfying his father’s expectations of becoming a lawyer like him suddenly seems impossible to reconcile with Arthur’s passion for drawing and sketching.
Meanwhile Arthur and Merlin’s relationship runs through a quick succession from reluctant strangers to trading hostile insults to burgeoning friendship to somewhat fuck-buddies in the span of a couple of weeks.
Life is all kinds of complicated and Arthur finally has no choice but to stand up for what he wants…

Summary
Arthur's favourite street in his new neighbourhood had these lovely little gardens. Lush, impossibly green and touched by magic. Wanting some of their magic for himself also led Arthur to the man who crafted them.

Summary
In the four years he and Merlin had been together, Merlin never so much hinted that he had a blog.
Well, at least not to Arthur. Everyone and their dog knew about it, except Arthur.
Arthur sighed and clicked Previous 10 Entries. It was a little like reading a biography about all of the things you would never, ever want to share with anyone.
ON SHAGGING THE BLOKE
Sort of like that.
OR: Merlin has a blog. Arthur finds out about it.

Summary
This a sequel to You Have Got to Be Kidding Me.
Arthur and Merlin are now committed in a Civil Partnership and finally get to live to together. Merlin is still recovering from the injuries he received in the motorcycle crash and Arthur is coping with losing his Ministerial position as well as his Parliamentary seat. Both are exploring what it means to live together and how to build a future where they can both grow.
On the way they find bumps, potholes and occasional craters on the road but they also learn more about love. And possibly: Apple trees, cars, public seating, weather, and cats. Not necessarily in that order.

Summary
Arthur Pendragon, son of the famous and wealthy Uther, finds himself in the wilds of Donegal due to an awkward professor and a lot of goofing off in university. Stuck in the backend of nowhere, (as he calls it) Arthur finds himself looking at life in a different way. Especially when it wears rubber and looks like Merlin. A tale of friendship, a possibly sentient car, cake, and cock-blocking donkeys. (Actually only one donkey) (And a scout troop) (And a microwave). With a bit of angst and some trauma.
Familiar characters may have different names.

Summary
“Merlin?” He said, and Merlin realized then that he'd forgotten his voice.
“Arthur,” he said again, because couldn't think of anything else to say. His head echoed finally and safe and so long, so long, so fucking long-
Merlin reached out, just to make sure this wasn't another dream, that Arthur wouldn't be ripped away; wouldn't disappear into the ether—
Arthur’s hand came up to mirror his until they were palm to palm. His skin was sure and steady on Merlin's, damp, a little cold, flaking at the knuckles and real. Real.
Arthur said, "Merlin—"
And Merlin laughed a laugh that felt like a sob, tangled his fingers with Arthur’s, and pulled him to his chest.
Or
The one where Arthur returns, Merlin's door throws a hissy fit, and his apprentice really needs to stop messing around with his books.

Summary
Twenty years after The Great Purge and the continuing effects of a High Priestess’s curse, Albion is a nation on the brink of collapse. Not even High Chancellor Uther Pendragon’s Compatibility Regime can curb the plummeting population. To add to his troubles, his wayward son, Arthur, makes no disguise of his unwillingness to wed. With good reason. Arthur is secretly leading the Movement, a covert organisation plotting to overthrow the government and return magic to Albion. Not to mention, it’s been foreseen that Arthur’s future, his destiny, is an indomitable union with a warlock—not marriage to the farm-boy matched to him by Uther’s Compatibility Machines.

Originally posted on the kinkme_merlin (on livejournal) post for the prompt: Modern AU, "Merlin is Arthur's booty call".
In the end, it turned out that was only the beginning, and what ensued was a story of the power of true love. It never gets old, although this story does make mention, many times, of antiques.

Summary
Pendragon Enterprise is the world's leading computer security company and ruthless when it comes to taking down malicious programmers. It's the perfect place for a skilled hacker like Merlin Ambrosius (codename: Emrys) to work undercover and gain a tactical advantage. But being the personal assistant for vice-CEO Arthur Pendragon is more complicated than Merlin expects. The female Pendragon threatens castration, Arthur apparently sleeps with all his PAs, and it only gets more complicated when the Kilgharrah virus causes a panic. Merlin might just have a solution though, because Anonymous...Anonymous is legion.

Summary
When running a private detective agency, you expect a little bit of excitement and drama. But you certainly don’t expect death. After Arthur is killed in a strange accident one night, Merlin can’t help but think that there's more to it than meets the eye. Now he's stuck with a ghost for a partner, and time is running out for Arthur to resolve his unfinished business before he ends up trapped here for good. It's up to Merlin to help him figure things out so that he can cross over, but that's easier said than done when there's a murderer on your tail.
One thing's for sure: as best friends for life, Merlin and Arthur won’t let a little thing like death come between them.

Summary
In some far distant future, Arthur heir Pendragon, Captain of the galley-class Kilgharrah and Prince of the Camelot, answers a distress call from the alien-besieged Ealdor. There, he finds Merlin, a plausibly-deniable sorcerer with an irresistible grin. This is the story of how the terraformation of planet Albion was threatened by the prejudices of the past, of finding solid ground and taking a stand, and of giving yourself reasons to trust.
A phantasmagorical space opera, high fantasy in a science fiction setting, this work includes cyborg Arthur, fighter-pilot Morgana, spectral dragons, Lovecraftian horrors, sentient spaceships, and a little bit of that kissing stuff.
