Summary
Face blank, Alec steps forward without a moment of hesitation to stand in front of the Inquisitor, his people parting respectfully before him to clear his path as he goes. He comes to a halt a few paces in front of the Clave representative and the guardsmen she’d brought from Alicante. A coiled leather whip hangs from the belt of the man at her left shoulder.
Shoulders drawn back and hands clasped behind his waist, Alec meets Imogen Herondale’s steel gaze. The words are ritual and although Alec has said them many times before, never before has he meant them less.
“That it may please the Angel to bring back into the way of righteousness all such as have erred, I place myself before you for Discipline.”
Imogen Herondale smiles.

Summary
Maia takes a deep breath, looking up to catch his gaze. Her face twitches, caught in a pre-emptive wince. “Alec’s getting married,” she says. "To a man this time. Khalid Elmasry of the Cairo Institute.”
“Oh,” Magnus says, careful to make sure his face is wiped of all expression. “I see.”
(Or: Everyone in the Shadow World thinks Alec Lightwood is getting married to the strong, handsome Shadowhunter visiting from Egypt... except for Alec.)

Summary
"Do you think you can spend an evening without insulting Merlin?”
Arthur looks as if the very idea is anathema to him. “It’s not insults,” he says. “It’s—”
“Your very own idea of courtship,” Gwen says. “But I’ve another idea. And it involves being very, very nice to Merlin. Didn’t you see the way he was flustering just now? He’s used to your barbed comments, Arthur, he has practically grown up with them. Didn’t you like the sight of him, all flushed from praise?”
“I’m not—” Arthur says, and abruptly cuts himself off as his own face goes pink. “I suppose so.”
“Here’s what we do,” Gwen starts.
Or: Gwen and Arthur set out to court a reluctant Merlin. Fortunately, Gwen knows exactly how Merlin wants to be loved.

Summary
Odysseus of Ithaca had always been different. Relying more on intelligence then strength, cunning over pure power, he had always stood out. But, he never realized how much he stood out until he left the safety of his kingdom to fight in the war.
Using his charms to get what he wanted was all well and good, but not if it gained some unwanted attention. After all, he never learnt how to tone it down and now, he's starting to realize that some people might take his actions as further than he ever intended. Add to that a mysterious God that had blessed him with a power that he never knew he had and he was in for the wildest ride of his life.
Oh dear...
Looks like things were about to get messy.

Summary
Merlin ducks forward, grabbing Arthur’s hands. His are cool and soft, and Arthur is surprised by the feel of Merlin’s palm over his own rough knuckles. “Arthur,” he says pointedly. “I know my duty, and I don’t need you to remind me. Are you always like this?”
“Like what?”
“Annoying,” Merlin says, and leans back, appraising him more thoughtfully than his tone suggests. “So concerned with your honour.”
Or: Arthur must marry Lord Emrys for a year to create an alliance between their people. Except it isn't Emrys who comes to marry him, but the young druid Merlin, who soon turns all of Camelot upside down—and Arthur with it.

It’s. A miscommunication. There’s no way Magnus isn’t into Alec. There’s no way he wants him behind closed doors and nowhere else. The first time Magnus saw Alec, Jace saw the other man’s face — he wanted to pin Alec to the floor and remove Alec’s clothes with his teeth.

Summary
“But you shouldn’t be alone, Arthur.” Merlin’s eyes are sad, so sad and disappointed, he never wanted to make Merlin disappointed, it’s even worse than when his father used to be- “You have your councillors. Sure they speak a load of bull, but they can be helpful occasionally.”
Arthur tries not to snort, glancing away, continuing to wipe at his face with the washcloth. He half-wishes Merlin would stop, but something tells him the prattle will soon turn interesting.
And sure enough, the next words out of Merlin’s mouth are, “You could get a Queen.”
In Arthur's humble opinion, Merlin comes up with the strangest ideas... But sometimes those ideas do turn into favourable outcomes.
But this whole marriage thing may take it a bit too far...Series

Merlin doesn't understand why Arthur gave him his mother's sigil. Arthur doesn't understand why Merlin is so sad about planning a wedding. Or Merlin doesn't understand royal customs and Arthur doesn't know how to talk about feelings.
