Summary
You should’ve prepared yourself better to see him again, you should’ve been bracing yourself for the whirlwind for a few years, not just the three months after you’ve sent the RSVP for Karkat’s wedding. You felt sick the whole plane ride across the Atlantic Ocean, convincing yourself it was just nerves that anyone would get from having to be in the same room as their ex. Except you weren’t just anyone and he wasn’t just an ex and goddamit you were right to feel like the world was ending because looking at him again after all those lonely years felt like being hit by a bullet train.
You would think eight years would be enough to teach a guy a lesson or two about not sleeping with his ex boyfriend.

Summary
He didn't know just exactly how much he trusted the film student to be stabbing a hole in his ears and he hadn’t really bothered to ask if Ajax had prior experience, knowing how unreliable Ajax could be. It didn’t matter though, Diluc wanted to see Ajax again so badly it made him embarrassed.
Diluc entrusts Ajax to pierce his ears in his shitty dorm room (against his better judgement)

Summary
Childe shifts his gaze from the sky to Diluc, his eyes carving a map on Diluc’s face. The winery owner wonders what Childe sees. Who is it that stands before him.
“You don’t have an umbrella.”
“I have an umbrella in the car.”
“Oh.”
Childe tightens his grip on the handle of his umbrella, his expression goes almost bashful, “I was hoping you didn’t drive here.”
“Why not?”
“I wanted to walk you home.”

“I hope we don't lose our memories in the afterlife,” Childe laughed, rolling over so that he laid next to Diluc, turning his head so that their eyes would meet. His face was softened by the night sky kissing him all over, the sea of stars reflected shining like pools of water in his eyes, another trickle of blood gushing from his broken nose “I really want to remember this one.”
Tartaglia does not always come home in the best condition but he comes home regardless.

Summary
Arthur's eyes widen minutely, and Merlin can see fists tighten by his side, but he doesn't move out of Merlin's grasp, doesn't show any other reaction. And Merlin has never touched Arthur like this, never so unkindly but he's reached a boiling point, the thought of carrying on with this thankless routine is agonising.
His voice is almost a whisper when he speaks next. He leans in closer, unable to look at Arthur anymore, instead he says his next words a breath away from his ear. "You could thank me on your knees and it wouldn't come anywhere close to adequate appreciation."
.
In which Merlin is overwhelmed and underappreciated. Stretched thin between keeping the kingdom safe, playing the role of Arthur’s servant as well as the role of Gaius’ apprentice, and dealing with his magic, he snaps and quits. Arthur, of course, begins to realise the emptiness of life without Merlin. What follows is a mix of frustration, hurt, pining, and, finally, a reunion. Featuring the ever tired and concerned knights of the round table (except Gwaine, he doesn’t really give a shit.)

Summary
This is all Gwen's fault. Merlin never wanted a stupid smartphone in the first place. Now, he has a smartphone and a supercilious, posh git bullying him on Whatsapp. He really should block the prat.
or
The one where Merlin doesn't block the prat and finds out that, maybe, smartphones aren't so bad after all.

Summary
Merlin has been equal parts terrified of and crazy for Arthur, his beautiful and arrogant boss at Pendragon Pharmaceuticals for some years now.
He's already resigned to the fact that Arthur's completely out of his league, but the universe just won't cut him any slack. During the most important lab presentation of Merlin's life, a deaging spell goes awry and turns Arthur back into his seventeen-year-old self: a brash, expressive and cheeky young man so different from the one he knows.
Arthur has to stay in Merlin's flat while he races to develop a cure, and by God, the teenage Arthur's new penchant for flirting shamelessly with Merlin is going to be the death of him, it really is.
