Summary
“I said,” Merlin enunciates, rolling his eyes. He gets a knee over Arthur’s thigh, pressing it into the mattress and fixing the perch of his glasses. “What’s wrong with my glasses?”
Arthur gapes at him, before dropping onto his pillow with a sigh as he stares up at the ceiling. What has this night come to? He was supposed to go over his report and then sleep. And then came Merlin, complaining about the fucking water pressure, dripping wet and smelling like that with his low slung pyjamas and utter lack of respect for Arthur’s sanity, taking over his mind and night. Arthur can’t have one second of peace.
.
Arthur notices Merlin smells nice. He then can’t stop noticing and nearly loses his mind about it.

Summary
A whore is not someone you attempt to woo or charm. A whore is not someone you should strive to impress. A whore is someone whose opinion matters very little. Someone you rent for a bit of fun and release. You just put money on the table and they get to say yes or no – and for the record, they seldom say no. So a whore is no one to pine for. Which is just as well, because Arthur isn’t pining for anyone.
And certainly not anyone who’ll disappear off with any random knight for the right amount.

Summary
“Was everything else a lie, too?” he asked darkly, hating the desperation in his tone, thinking of the friendship he valued so much, of Merlin laughing at his jokes, of fighting side by side and how it had given him strength again and again, knowing that Merlin would always be there, would always choose to stand with him, no matter what. Of Merlin’s soft sob of pleasure, gasped into his mouth as his fingers clawed the small of his back.

Arthur finds out that Merlin has magic.Conclusion of the series.

Summary
Or, the fic lovingly known (by me) as Hotline Bling.
He feels as though something is happening, but can’t begin to imagine what; it can’t, it cannot be what he thinks. Maybe he’s actually, truly gone daft from exhaustion.

Summary
Written for the Kinkalot 2020 Kink Bingo fill: Forbidden.
“Don’t even think about it, unless you have a death wish, Sire,” Leon hisses softly. “It’s Balinor’s son, he’s the Druid Prince, the next Dragonlord. He’s untouchable. He’s also a magic user.”
“I wasn’t-” Arthur starts, but then bites his own tongue, because he was definitely staring and definitely thinking about how the druid boy would look underneath his clothes and possibly beneath him.

Summary
“I can barely stand to be without you,” he murmurs. He laughs at himself, turning his face into the pillow, away from Merlin’s inquiring gaze, his cheeks turning pink. “I know it’s crazy. But since I first saw you, in the courtyard, I can’t think about anything else. It’s not like anything I’ve experienced before.”
or,
a rewrite of the pilot episode, in which Merlin does not learn Arthur's identity during their first altercation, and they let the tension between them do the talking instead

Summary
“Just stay up late, like the rest of us,” Bellamy said, turning back to his desk, “Or find somewhere else to sleep.”
Futilely, he tried to zone back in on his homework. His eyes narrowed as he heard not the sound of the door, but a creak of bedsprings and the ruffle of covers.
“Clarke?” Bellamy asked.
“Yes?”
He turned slowly to face her. “That is not what I meant.”

Summary
(our coming of age has come and gone; suddenly this summer it's clear.)
Eddie looks down at the mug he's holding, and blinks.
"Why does this mug say, ‘She thinks my tractor’s sexy’?”
Richie, face stretched in every possible way—mouth agape and eyes threatening to pop out of his skull—can’t comprehend the question.
“Dude, why are you in my house?”
“Oh. Your cleaning lady let me in before she left. She seems nice.” Eddie takes a careful sip of his coffee.
“What the shit?” Richie breathes.Series

What are you doing New Year's Eve? by remusjohn

Summary
Warmed by the happy company of friends and not a little bit of wine, Eddie can’t help how his gaze seems to wander ever over to Richie. Bathed as he is in the soft glow of the Christmas tree, the effect is quite handsome even despite the novelty reindeer antlers that Richie has been wearing all evening. The combination of all the wine, Richie’s appealingly broad shoulders, and the looming threat of mistletoe has some distant corner of Eddie’s mind screaming a muted warning, Danger, Will Robinson!
Eddie ignores it and gets another drink.
(1 New Year's Eve, 2 Decembers, and 3 gifts, in 4 parts.)

Summary
It would be easier if they ate people’s heads off, but Eddie is good. Eddie does not want to kill people. Eddie sees something in people that Tel-Kar never allowed Venom to recognize in the first place. He sees something in them beyond tools to be used. Even the bad people, sometimes. He believes, sincerely, in second chances.
Venom thinks Eddie must be his second chance.

Summary
He would admit that he was slightly worried that she was going to tell him not to leave marks where people could see, but he didn't care if anyone saw, he wanted people to know that Clarke had someone. He wanted them to know Clarke had him. What he wouldn't admit was just how much she had him, the lengths he would go to for her, and all she had to do was ask.
She arched her back again, pushing herself back against him, "Please," she moaned.
Bellamy could never deny her anything.
