Summary
It was an act of appalling, ghastly cruelty that, had Arthur not been so horribly in love with him, he might never have noticed Merlin was a sorcerer.

Summary
What Arthur knows: Merlin, his clumsy and foolish servant, is actually quite smart. He’s also loyal, and brave, and in many ways the reason Arthur has so many good people in his life.
The goal: Make Merlin realize how important he is to Arthur, no matter how stubborn he's clearly chosing to be about it.
What Arthur does not know, yet: Merlin has magic. Also they're very slightly a little bit in love.
It's going to take them a while to figure it all out. Meanwhile the knights have known for ages, Gwen figures it out pretty quick, and pretty much all of Camelot has also known ever since that weird peasant stumbled through the gates and challenged the Prince all those years ago.
OR
"How to win over your manservant one argument at a time and convince him it was all his idea."

Summary
It's 2008, and Merlin's in college while Arthur's stuck in the valley working for his father's company, wondering why the hell he relates to every single one of Blink 182's songs about being brokenhearted, when his heart isn't even broken. At least, he doesn't think it is.

Summary
“Right,” Arthur mutters. “The interviews went rather well, I think. Although I’m not sure why you care, since you’re so unwilling to be my Court Sorcerer.”
“So odd that I’m taking an interest in the future of England, even if I’m not personally interested in the position,” Merlin says, and Arthur has the grace to look slightly abashed.
Or: Prince Arthur needs to find a new Court Sorcerer in the halls of Albion University. Merlin just wants to apply to a PhD in Magical Neo-Linguistics without being told that his destiny is to be by His Royal Horrendousness' side.
Of course, destiny doesn't take no for an answer.

Summary
The infatuation is understandable. Arthur understands completely and quite honestly, he’s flattered. Merlin’s feelings are not the problem. The problem - the thing that Arthur can’t quite figure out - is why Merlin has begun spying on him.
