Summary
It all starts with that wretched hug ... that isn't a hug. From then on, it continues to nag at Arthur - Merlin's over-familiarity and affection - until he realises that not only does he not mind, he craves it. When events conspire to temporarily keep Merlin and Arthur apart, Arthur resolves to reveal his feelings as soon as he has a chance. Only, an unexpected mishap threatens to change everything and in a split second Arthur has to decide whether to come through for Merlin, or whether to let him go.

Summary
“I think,” Merlin says carefully, “that Arthur Pendragon might be plotting to kill me.”
“Oh, yeah,” Will agrees. “Pendragon’s definitely fixing to have you done in.”
Freya nods slowly, pursing her lips. “Not much you can do about that, I’m afraid,” she says, patting his arm gently, “but we’ll pick you out a pretty coffin.”
Or: Arthur didn’t speak to Merlin much before Merlin lost his temper at him in Uncle Gaius’s apothecary, but the incident has apparently only strengthened Arthur’s resolve to avoid Merlin for the rest of time. On a completely unrelated note, Merlin is also now being gently stalked by Arthur’s friends and sister.
A High School AU.

Summary
Merlin has been unconscious for three weeks, ever since his eyes burned traitorous gold and the words of the Old Religion fell from his lips and most of the immortal army fell at the spot, their organs imploding from the inside. Magical exhaustion, Gaius calls it, but Arthur doesn’t care what it’s called, he just wants Merlin back.

Summary

Summary
“Like your fish boy, do you? Well, in you go then.” He tore open the grid, hit Arthur again and pushed him inside the tank.
Arthur’s eyes widened with panic, and he surged up towards the surface — only to have the iron grid slammed in his face, trapping him underwater. He beat his fist against it, bubbles of precious air escaping his mouth in a wordless scream.Or
After saving a human from drowning, Merlin is captured and imprisoned in a tank. When help finally arrives, things might just get worse instead of better.
