Summary
Thirty years you’ve lived without him, now it seems an impossible, unspeakable task, just after two months together.

“It’s not that, alright?” Arthur says with a huff. “It was me. My fault. That we got busted.”
Percy’s eyes are round. “What?”
“I pissed someone off.”
Gwaine is confused. “What, like you stole his shit?”
“… Like I walked out on him in the middle of the night while he’s still sleeping.” Arthur scratches his head. “He’s my ex.”

“… nothing short of a miracle, Your Royal Highness …”
“… magnificent power from our future Prince Consort …”
He had smiled and thanked them all, of course, despite wanting nothing more than to kick their teeth in.

It’s been a week since the ritual and Arthur has yet to stop worrying.

Summary
“Sometimes,” Uther said, leaning forward, “no matter how strong you are alone, you will need someone else by your side. Someone who will make your days easier.” He looked at Merlin expectantly. “Do you understand what I’m suggesting?”
“… You want us to… visit more often?”
“No!” cried Uther.
“No,” Merlin echoed, shaking his head.

Merlin doesn’t want to think about his relationship with Arthur, because there is nothing to think about. His relationship with his friend/boss/blond jerk whose life he happened to save when they first met, is completely normal. The people in his life disagree.
AKA “5 times the people around Merlin try to tell him something + 1 time Merlin tells Arthur something” (though not strictly structured as such)

Summary
The light from the telly makes your skin glow an ethereal alabaster, and your inky eyelashes look impossibly long as I gently brush your fringe away from your forehead, more attuned to the soft sounds of your breathing than to whatever Mulder was rambling to Scully about. This is enough, I tell myself. It has to be.

Merlin and Arthur meet as teenagers, become best friends, then grow apart because it’s easier than admitting their feelings. Will they have enough faith in each other and themselves to find their way back?
(Yes.)

Summary
The storm was right over the house, and that could only mean one thing.
Well, two things. First, it meant the house staff would be up dealing with the leaks and possible flooding. Second, it meant Arthur was probably already late for the gathering.
—
In which Merlin and Arthur are rudely trapped in a tiny room together, and Arthur definitely doesn’t lose his mind about it.

Summary
“About Arthur and I?” Not that Merlin doubts quiet, steady Leon, the foil to Arthur’s restlessness. He just wants to avoid the press nightmare and Gaius lecturing him down the phone. “Not that there is ‘Arthur and I’. It’s casual. I mean, we haven’t talked about it—”
“You sent flowers,” Leon says, confused.

Summary
It’s a shockwave, travelling through Arthur’s body, a tidal wave rolling through his limbs, a thousand fists to his stomach. It rips him apart in an instant and moulds him back together just as quickly, leaving him gobsmacked and buzzing and overwhelmed.
The attraction is so sudden, so intense, that he feels crippled in the aftermath. He’s never felt anything like that before, never experienced an emotion like this. Arthur wishes he could pretend it’s anything but what it is, but it’s undeniable. He’s swept away by lust and a staggering sense of rightness, but worst of all, by a terrible knowing. It’s love-at-first-sight and it’s just as horrible, as exciting and as overwhelming as people have claimed. Arthur attempts to deny it right away, because this isn’t supposed to happen. He’s been so good at being indifferent.

Summary
Merlin and Arthur have been orbiting each other for close to eight years now. Four years ago, they spent the night together and haven't spoken since. Morgana's hosting a party, and Merlin would do anything to avoid having that uncomfortable conversation.
Arthur, it seems, has other plans.
