In a World of the Same, You're Different by thepenguinclub for fabledfrog

Summary
“You know,” the prince started, and Merlin grunted in frustration, turning away. Princes were always the same, “I don’t appreciate you talking about my father like that.”
Merlin stopped and narrowed his eyes, before slowly looking back at the prince. He studied the prince's face intently.
“And who, exactly, would your father be?” he asked, fury crackling through the calm sounding words. He was not in the mood to be played with by a prince.
“Uther Pendragon,” the prince said calmly.
Merlin’s tail lashed so hard against the rock next to him a large piece of it chipped off, rocketing through the air and over the edge of the mountain.
---
Merlin was cursed to be a dragon, which was fine. It was fine, he was fine, he was happy, thank you very much. Everything was great.
Except for all these knights and princes that kept bothering him. That, that was not fine. It was annoying. It definitely wasn't the only human interaction he ever got, he was fine.
So if this odd group of knights and their king would leave, that would be wonderful.

Summary
"Merlin!” He said, smiling brightly with eyes wide. “Merlin, my love!”
“Oh Gods and Goddesses, please save me,” Merlin mumbled to himself as Arthur scrambled off the table and ran to wrap his arms around Merlin. The sorcerer groaned and looked over his shoulder at Arthur.
“But it hurts to be apart.” Arthur whined, proceeding to unceremoniously drop all 180 pounds of himself onto Merlin’s lap. “It hurts deep in here.”
Arthur grabs Merlin’s hand and rests it over his heart. Merlin just looks at him with a deadpan look as he wrestles his hand back and tries to shove Arthur off.
~~~
Or Merlin believes Arthur has been hit with a love spell and has to deal with an insanely clingy Arthur for two days while he tries to figure out how to break it.
A talk with the druids leaves him thinking about his supposedly unrequited love (and how it might not be so unrequited)

Summary
“Get out of my sight, and don’t come back until you can prove to me why I should allow you to remain in my service.”
Merlin stares at Arthur, confused. His tone was ominous, and it certainly sounded like a threat, but Merlin can’t quite work out what part is supposed to have him shaking in his boots. He’s halfway back to Gauis’ chambers when it dawns on him: Arthur actually thinks this stupid, degrading job is something he would be willing to fight for - as though Merlin’s life wouldn’t be complete without the honor of scrubbing the sheets Arthur manages to soil on a disturbingly regular basis.
In which it takes Merlin a bit longer to warm up to Arthur than it does in canon, but he gets there in the end.

Five Times Arthur Pretended Not To Notice Merlin’s Magic (And One Time He Couldn’t) by idlestories

Summary
'Arthur did hear several other council members hide their laughter in unconvincing fake coughs, but he was entirely and understandably distracted by the horrible suspicion currently developing in his mind that his boyfriend might be a sorcerer.'
Once Arthur catches Merlin doing magic once, it's like he can't not see it.
