Summary
When Merlin first started working for Arthur, he had naively thought Arthur was straight. They worked in an LGBT support organization, but Merlin had given Arthur one look and thought ‘Gorgeous, but straight.’ Of course, he should have known that Annis would not have hired a straight man to head the department of networking. Arthur was more or less the face of the organization when it came to partnerships and sponsorships. Merlin had only made the discovery when he saw the sole personal picture on Arthur’s desk, a snapshot of a group of friends at Pride with Arthur smack in the middle: shirtless, chest painted with sparkling glitter, and a huge sign that read ‘Gay As Hell’ with rainbow flames around the lettering. At the time, it had seemed so out-of-character that Merlin had burst out laughing and immediately cherished this glitterized version of Arthur. Ever since, Merlin had cherished the bits and pieces of that version of Arthur whenever he let that side of him show.

For many long years Merlin waited.

Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King.

Summary
After Arthur found out about his magic, Merlin had given up on the belief that there weren’t any secrets left to unearth about Arthur. He likes the idea, likes how it allows him to keep paying attention, how Arthur can still surprise him.
Some things, though, he wishes he did not have to discover if only for Arthur not having to bear them in the first place.
Five times Merlin learns something about Arthur that no one else knows, and one time Arthur proves that he has been watching Merlin just as closely.

Summary
Arthur wasn’t sure exactly when it had started, but now he was sure of it. HE. HAD. MAGIC. It was the only way to explain all the falling branches and mysterious happenings around him. There were just too many coincidences to deny it any longer. But what was he to do?!
His father could never find out. And what if Merlin learned he had magic and began to fear him? For now, Arthur was going to have to keep this secret to himself which is a lot easier said than done when he can barely control it.
Or the five times Arthur thinks he’s using magic, and the one time he figures out what’s really going on. Get ready for another of my patent blend of comedy, fluff and hurt/comfort!

His chest expanded with a deep and steadying breath as he prepared himself to break the tension and suggest turning in when Merlin dipped his head. His lips brushed the bandaging around Arthur’s hand.
Merlin looked up at him, the perfect picture of a gentleman kissing a lady’s hand.
He looked suddenly startled. Arthur could feel his own wide eyes in return.

(Camelot as we know and love, in a world where everyone is born with wings, save the rare 'Wingless'. )

Merlin opened and closed his mouth twice before he found his voice. “Rowan, I think there’s been a misunderstanding.”
Rowan frowned, “Oh, my apologies. Are you not at the betrothed stage yet? When you do, please send me a letter so I can give you my heartfelt congratulations.”
Arthur grimaced, “The thing is, Merlin and I aren’t a couple.”

Summary
Between studying for A-Levels and attending football practices, Arthur didn’t have that much free time for dating. Besides, girlfriends were too much work. Therefore, it was only natural that he spent an unreasonable amount of time watching porn on the internet. Merlin, on the other hand, despite also being single - not to mention a virgin - didn’t seem to enjoy watching porn as much as he did, so Arthur took it upon himself to find out exactly what worked for Merlin. What were friends for if not for this, anyway?

Summary
When Morgana places a curse on Merlin that makes his greatest pain physical, Arthur wonders what it is that makes his manservant's heart hurt. He ponders this and faces some long ago buried feelings by Merlin's bedside (and wrapped around Merlin. For body heat, obviously).
That's a pretty shit summary but it's 2 am. Basically, Merlin gets badly hurt, Arthur gets stressed and protective, and there is friendship, love confessions, cuddling, and maybe a few kisses.

“Gwen, it’s terrible,” Merlin said. “He’s polite! He’s kind, even!”
“And that’s a problem?” Gwen asked, dryly.
"I’m going to have to go through an entire week serving the perfect Golden Prince, and then go back to my Prince Prat, and I think it’s going to break me, Gwen. He’s going to get me used to it, and then it’ll be back to mile-long lists, and being called stupid instead of spectacular and how am I supposed to handle that?”
Gwen said, hesitantly, “I thought you liked Arthur?”
“I do,” Merlin said, sounding even lower than before. “I have to.”

When a visiting Prince visits Camelot, and takes Merlin as his servant during his negotiations with The Crown, Merlin finds himself being seen in a way he'd always wished Arthur would see him, and doesn't know what to do with any of it.Series
