Summary
Attending a secret sex party at Lord Godwin's invitation, Arthur finds his own servant, Merlin, among the masks—even though he specifically told him not to come. In this sinful night where identities are hidden, Arthur seizes his first and last chance to claim the servant he has desired for years.
Disguising his voice with selfish hunger, he whispers to Merlin:
"Will you sleep with me?"

Summary
Merlin only grinned at him, threw a pillow in his face, and went to pick out an outfit. Arthur slowly sat up. He had known something was wrong, but as he listened to birds chirping outside and the sound of people milling about in the courtyard, he realized what it was.

Summary
Merlin hisses as the harsh metal digs into his wrists. There are rumours that The Mighty Emrys, emphasis on the capital letters, wouldn’t bend to cold iron’s will…and yet. It’s hard to believe such innocent looking metal – or innocent as chains can be – could be the cause of such immutable pain. Don’t get him wrong, Merlin has been through his fair share of injuries and attempts on his life (some more successful than others, thank you immortality) but this? This is unlike anything he’s felt before.
[Merlin's magic is revealed after yet another bandit attack. Arthur doesn't react well. And as it turns out, cold iron is bad, folks! Way angstier than I expected this idea to be. Would you believe me if I said I just want everyone to be happy? No? Okay.]

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
Arthur looked the same. Or, well, he didn’t look completely like what Merlin remembered at first, but Merlin stared at him for a second longer, and it all snapped into place. The hair; the chain-mail; the eyes; the way Arthur was sitting morosely on the ground, his gaze as determined as ever; it all added up to the same portrait he'd been trying so desperately to keep clear for a thousand years.
Merlin slowly walked up to him. “Arthur?”
Arthur’s head whipped around, and a true look of relief spread across his face. “Merlin.”
Arthur comes back. It's a bit more of a struggle on Merlin's end then he'd ever expected it to be, but he, at least, has Leon to help him muddle through. Worst comes to worst, he knows what to expect-- Arthur will tenuously accept Merlin as a friend, nothing more. Won't he?
(or, author goes insane about how fucking repressed Merlin is. That's basically the fic).

Summary
Alone and isolated by his immortality, Merlin journeys once more to Camelot, to the site of an old story Gaius once told him. Beneath the castle, in a hidden crypt, it is said sorcerers once escaped Uther's purges - but how? And to where?
Merlin intends to find out.
But when he stumbles into another world, another Camelot, when he finds Arthur, alive but changed, he must do all he can to prove himself true. Even if it means his own undoing.

Summary
Merlin wakes up to the same day over and over again.
A spell gone wrong has trapped him in a loop that won’t break until he tells the truth “from the heart.” He tries everything—confessing his magic, admitting his feelings to himself—but nothing works.
Because the truth isn’t meant for him.
It’s meant for Arthur.

Summary
Arthur was jolted back to reality by a gentle touch. Merlin had taken his hands in his, as though to separate them. In an attempt to soothe himself, Arthur had rolled his mother’s ring around his index finger with so much force that he’d scratched at the skin, leaving an angry red circle on his finger. He hadn’t even realised he’d been doing it before Merlin drew attention to it.
Then, Merlin took another step and engulfed Arthur in his arms. “I know you don't like hugs, but let me hold you for once,” he whispered in Arthur’s ear. “You'll feel better afterwards; you’ll see.”
⚔𐀪𐀪⚔
Arthur has learned to repress his emotions from a very young age. When they threaten to overwhelm him, he turns to the only one his father has ever allowed: anger. That is, until a gangly, happy-go-lucky boy bursts into his life.
Or, after becoming addicted to Merlin's hugs, Arthur decides to offer him one every time Merlin has a nightmare. For Merlin's sake, of course.
