    Summary

    After going missing during a bandit attack, Merlin returns acting different. He's quieter, erratic and constantly staring at Arthur. Naturally, Arthur assumes the only logical explanation: Merlin has developed a crush on him. Arthur becomes determined to let him down gently...because he totally doesn't feel the same.

    Or
    A rewrite of s04e06 A Servant of Two Masters from Arthur's perspective where Arthur mistakes Merlin's murder attempts as Merlin having a crush on him.

    Summary

    Summary contains spoilers for Season 3!

    When the Almighty tells Aziraphale and Crowley to decide what they want next, they ask for a universe without a Heaven and without a Hell. Without angels and demons too, of course, which does not bode well for their continued existence.

    Several billion years later, very human bookseller Asa meets very human astrophysicist Anthony who seems more familiar than a complete stranger should be. But when Asa decides to read the book Anthony had written, Astrophysics for Everyone, he discovers (or, rather, remembers) something distinctively non-human...

    Summary

    Without thinking, Arthur blurts out, “Maybe you can teach me a spell?”

    Merlin stiffens again, looking as though he’s braced for ridicule, and Arthur knows immediately that he can’t rescind the words. “Why would you want that?”

    “Come on, Merlin. I can’t exactly have my servant being better at something than I am, now can I?”

    Or,

    Three months after lifting the ban on magic, Arthur catches Morgana and Merlin practicing a spell together. After initially struggling to come to terms with, he asks to be taught a spell as a gesture of acceptance. He is shocked to learn that magic is hard, and Merlin is actually quite good at it. Who would have guessed?

    Summary

    After a kiss caused by mead and years of longing, Arthur realises that Merlin has magic but doesn't tell him. He finds that he can't stop loving Merlin and now that he knows just how heavy a weight he's been carrying, he can't stop comforting in his darkest times, either - despite Merlin being unwilling to start officially courting out of fear and concern for what would happen if Arthur knew. Little does he know all Arthur wants is to make it better. It all turns out sweet in the end.

    Summary

    "You're the last person I'd have expected to get emotional about this," Arthur said, catching Merlin's gaze in the mirror with a knowing smile. "It's just a crown, Merlin."

    "I know it is, you prat," Merlin said, reaching out to make some final adjustments. "But it's the High King's crown now, isn't it?" He sniffed. "And it's crooked."

    Summary

    Contrary to popular belief, Arthur isn't stupid. He knows that Merlin has secrets. As a matter of fact, he knows exactly what Merlin has been hiding from him for all these years: his grandfather is none other than Dragoon the Great. This... explains a lot.

    In which Arthur takes two plus two, comes up with five, rounds up to six, re-evaluates and decides on four and a half, before eventually coming up with four.

    Summary

    “I wouldn’t touch the Major Arcana.” Arthur startled, nearly dropping the cards. He whirled around to the voice. “They get twitchy.”

    An ornamental crystal ball fell onto the floor behind him, shattering into millions of tiny pieces.

    Behind him was a man, probably near Arthur’s age. He registered the wide, bright eyes, pale skin, and dark hair. Arthur hadn’t heard him approach. Where did he come from?

    “The—” Arthur’s eyes jumped back to the magician card, “Major Arcana?”

    That sounded sort of... magicky

    “Yes, yes, they get so full of themselves.” The man’s lips twitched, and Arthur was inexplicably drawn to the hint of his grin.

     

    Or, a lot can happen when you take cover under a random shop's awning. Mostly, Arthur just wants to figure out why 'The Magician' card is always his future.

    This is not how things were supposed to go, and he is not supposed to be here alone, and he is not supposed to mind being alone, only he does, and it’s all Merlin’s fault. Merlin, who has worked his way past all of Arthur’s defenses, into his life and into his heart.

    That, he supposes, is what sorcerers do.

    Summary

    ''I don't understand,'' said Merlin, tossing one of the stories aside. He found it impossible to meet the dragon's eyes. ''Why did you write this?''

    The dragon was infuriatingly calm. ''It is exactly as I've told you, Merlin. Arthur is your destiny. He is your other half, the one that makes you whole.''

    ''Yes, I know. But did you really have to write this rubbish about us kissing and all that?''

    Or: Merlin discovers Kilgharrah’s stash of fanfiction. It turns out to be very illuminating.
