perfection (not all its cracked up to be) by OnceFutureEmrys for amaltaas

Summary
Arthur's always been trying to be perfect. A perfect son, a perfect knight, a perfect prince. He was always trying to be perfect in the hope that he would be loved. Even when he's haunted by the people he's killed, even when he longingly stares at men when he should be focused on women. He's doing his best to keep the perfect facade, to keep everything together.
And then Merlin came. And Arthur's hopes of keeping it together are immediately dashed.
It's not like he likes him or anything...right?

Summary
It all starts with a silly deal Merlin makes up with Arthur after another failed date. The deal is simple: if they're still single when they're forty, they'll get married.
From there, it gets much more complicated.
From moving away, to confusing feelings, to heartbreaks galore, Arthur and Merlin traverse through adulthood searching for 'the one,' only to realize that perhaps, they had already found it after all.

Summary
After Morgana's been found out about her magic and sentenced to death via burning, she's resigned to the fact that she will die. But perhaps, with the help of Arthur, Gwen, and Merlin's terrible, dangerous plan, there might be hope at the end of the tunnel yet.

Summary
This was supposed to be a break from university.
Break.
Ha.
The holiday season had brought out every single Scrooge and Grinch to the particular establishment that Merlin worked in, and he was thinking of summoning some kind of spirit to scare them all off.
Or just closing up early. It was Christmas Eve. A couple of minutes ago, he’d seen his manager, Jennifer, sneak off into the back room where she kept her spiked eggnog stashed, and he doubted she was going to come out any time soon to help him deal with the influx of people who thought Christmas Eve was the perfect time to do last-minute shopping and drop in for coffee.
The line snaking out the front door was longer than a popcorn Christmas tree garland.
Merlin sighed. It looked like it was going to be another long day of working for him, with no end in sight.
Just… great.
Or:
Merlin and Arthur bungle up their coffee shop during a busy shift on Christmas Eve and get interesting reviews from different Merlin characters.

a long, long day by OnceFutureEmrys for haveyoueverconsideredpiracy

Summary
Merlin was beyond tired of it all. He just wanted one moment where… it could be just him. Just him and Arthur, just the two of them, without the rest of the world interfering.
But alas, Merlin was no normal person and neither was Arthur, and the chances of them having a regular day were almost as likely as Uther deciding to stop hating magic.
So, he walked into Arthur’s room, ready for more late night chores, a slight slump in his posture. To anyone else, it would seem as if he was perfectly fine, usual Merlin just slightly tired from a long day’s work.
But Merlin knew it was a bit more than that.
And so did Arthur, apparently, because when he stumbled in, he found the idiot sitting casually behind his desk, an air of amusement and playfulness surrounding him, a teasing grin forming on his stupid, stupid (handsome) face.
Or:
Merlin's had a long day, so Arthur takes care of him.

your words are the lifeblood rushing through my veins (your shine burns brighter than a hollywood star) by stolenstars for OnceFutureEmrys

Summary
This is wrong, this is so, so wrong. He needs to tell Merlin who he really is. He shouldn’t be doing this – whatever it is that this is – when Merlin doesn’t even know the half of what he’s getting into. When Merlin doesn’t know who Arthur really is. When Arthur can feel himself falling in love with a man who knows him better than anyone else in the world yet doesn’t know him at all.
But Merlin’s hand in his feels like everything he’s ever wanted, and there’s always tomorrow to tell him. Everything was too perfect, too earth-shatteringly wonderful to risk.
Until it wasn’t.

Summary
“Do you remember how when we first time went out there, Leon nearly sent out a search party out for us because he thought we were kidnapped,” Arthur asked as Merlin snuggled closer.
Merlin snorted. “Oh, he was so mad when we came back in perfect condition.”
“He really let us have it, it was so unlike him…” Arthur smiled as he thought about it.
“Yeah…”
Or
Merlin & Arthur discuss their humanity and reminisce one night after Arthur's return when they can't get to sleep.
