Summary
"Have we met?” Arthur insisted, shaking his head. “You seem – familiar.”
Last time, Merlin had not thought about those words, but this time they hit him hard. Arthur may not know it, hadn’t known it then, but he’d recognised Merlin. Not because he was familiar by a meeting of chance, but because their souls were intertwined by fate. And yet, it ate away at Merlin that if things were easier, if things were better, Arthur would have simply remembered.

Summary
“I was wondering if you might come home with me.” Merlin stops mid-rant and stares at him, and then down at his panini again, and back at Arthur. This is a panini of lies and pain. He can tell already.
“For Christmas? I’ve got an uncle and a mother and a sister waiting for me at home, in case you hadn’t remembered, I’m not going home with you just because you’re a workaholic.”
“No, it’s. My mum might be under the impression that we’re a little bit married.”
In which Merlin gets conned into spending Christmas with Arthur's family and pretending to be his husband, because somehow this is his life.

Summary
Arthur was used to being trotted out by Uther as Camelot’s shiny, young ambassador. Though he didn’t care much for Cenred, he certainly wasn’t afraid of him. No, it wasn’t Essetir that bred knots in his stomach.
For reasons that Arthur did not yet understand, it was the humble village of Ealdor that loomed specterlike over the journey ahead.
When a diplomatic visit to Cenred's kingdom takes Arthur and Merlin through Ealdor, Arthur must confront a secret he has kept from himself since Merlin arrived in Camelot.

Summary
Arthur has always had distant dreams of leaving Camelot. They were never more than a wistful fantasy, at least once he grew up.
Finding out about Merlin’s magic changes everything though, and not only because Arthur would do more to keep Merlin safe than he cares to admit. What follows are secrets upon secrets, allowing the dreams to slip back in as all his father’s lies unravel around him. Slowly but surely, Camelot feels less like a home and more like a gilded cage, and Arthur isn’t so certain anymore whether he’s the right person to carry this legacy. If he even wants to.
One final secret, one opportunity, and suddenly the dreams aren’t mere dreams anymore. Merlin wouldn’t be Merlin if he didn’t follow wherever Arthur goes, and as they try to outrun Uther’s manhunt for them, they have to learn to live a life that’s about more than duty, other’s expectations, and a destiny that has never once cared for them.
Or: Arthur long since expected that one day, he might have to flee Camelot with Merlin. He just never thought that he would be the reason.

Summary
“Lady Morgana,” The lord said, his brows furrowing as he took a step back “Pardon me for the assumption, but I was told the king’s ward never left the East tower?” He asked and gestured vaguely around the gardens. Morgana smiled and Merlin smirked from his hiding place as he watched Arthur consider swooping in to save the man, but clearly thinking better of it.
“Ah, of course.” Morgana said “You must be confused. There are two wards of the king. I’m afraid you won’t be able to meet Merlin today.”
Or
Uther took in Balinor’s child as a baby and claimed him as his ward. Merlin thinks he’s being held hostage, but whatever.

Summary
“You’re the Prince?” Merlin says, eyeing him. He hesitates, then adds, defiant, “The Mad Prince of Camelot.”
Arthur doesn’t move. There’s quiet for a long time, then he says it. “I am.”
“You don’t seem mad,” he says.
The smile wells up from somewhere deep, and very sad. “Well, Merlin,” he says, “give me time.”Series

1. He crosses his arms and stares at Arthur’s feet. “Rumour had it there was a sorcerer in that village.”Arthur snorts. “Yes. I’m sure if there was a sorcerer he’d be living in the back of beyond, picking berries and trapping rabbits to survive rather than serving at Cenred’s side.” Kanen’s eyes flash but he holds his tongue.
Suddenly, he’s sick of it all. Not the least of which is Kanen’s mention of a village. The man can’t even keep his story of catching poachers straight. They are raiding Essetir, he thinks, cold with despair. There will be war, when someone notices.
2. Ohh. The events of the past half hour suddenly come clear in his mind and he speaks without thinking, “He didn’t- there’s no reason to think that-”
Merlin swallows and carefully pushes aside the memory of the first time he’d left Arthur’s chambers. Things are different now. He’s figuring out the way things work here – he won’t ever be caught like that again.
He forces himself to say the name. “Kanen’s forgotten about me, sire.”
The silence stretches for a very long time, enough for Merlin to have a myriad of different thoughts, all piling on top of one another.
Bet he was already asleep-
That’s probably not even what he was thinking-
Why do I just blurt things out like that?
Lucky he doesn’t know about-
He was likely just angry I took so long-
Please let Kanen have forgotten about me-
Why would the Prince even care if-
“No, Merlin,” Arthur says, so very softly. His tone is thick with regret. “He hasn’t.”
Merlin swallows. He’s suddenly very, very cold. “Well,” he says blankly, “that’s a cheery thought to go to sleep on. Thanks for that.” He blinks into the dark. “Um. Sire.”
There’s a very faint noise that might have been Arthur snorting in amusement, or perhaps he just belched.
“Good night, Merlin,” he says, very firmly, and Merlin nods into the dark.
3. There’s a long moment of silence, and suddenly Merlin’s voice is very clear, and very, very cold. “Is this how you talk about your Prince?”
There’s no reply, just the sound of the boy’s rapid breathing.
“The man who saved your village from starvation.”
“I- I didn’t. I didn’t mean-” he stutters.
“You didn’t mean what?”
“It’s not, I don’t mean anything by it-” he begins again, stumbling horribly over the words.
“If you don’t mean anything by it then don’t do it,” Merlin says, still icy.
Arthur sags against the wall, legs suddenly weak. He hadn’t known Merlin’s beautiful voice could sound like that. Least of all, over him.
“Just because there are others who have no respect and no brains doesn’t mean you have to join them. It’s pretty poor repayment for the lives he saved – the lives of your family and friends.”
“I’m. I’m- s-sorry.”
“I can finish this on my own,” Merlin says, still cold. “You should probably get back to your duties. And if the others sent you to ask me questions you can tell them not to bother again. I don’t gossip about the Prince.”
4. “Answer the question. Are you subject to Camelot’s law, or not?” He’s asking much more than that, and they both know it. The only person not subject to the law is the King. If Agravaine is ready to make his grab for the crown…
For a moment he thinks he will do it, and Arthur’s awareness of his surroundings flares wide, the sword at his side, how much room he will have to manoever.
Here we go. He’s tired from travel, and the boar’s tusk scored him along one hip this morning, while Agravaine is well-rested and uninjured. But the emotions pumping through his veins will lend him strength, for a while. The door is closed, if he prevents Agravaine calling for help-
The imminent explosion of violence hangs there for a moment. And then-
“Of course the rule of law still applies,” Agravaine says coolly. “We are not savages, Arthur. No matter that there are those of us who sometimes behave like one.”
He lets the insult slide. He will not be distracted by the sneers and whispers. The Gods know, he’s heard worse.
“Then I suggest, uncle, that the privacy of my quarters is respected from now on, by every person in this keep.” He steps closer, “And I tell you now that anyone found abusing my possessions, my privacy or my people – whatever their station – will find themselves facing swift justice. No matter who they are.”
He gets an eyebrow for that, but there’s something about the way Agravaine looks him over that he recognizes. It’s the same look he used to get at tournaments, the one where his opponent was surprised to find the Crown Prince wasn’t some lightweight, that he led his knights for good reason.
But he recognizes something else, too. There will be fallout from this day. He needs to talk to Leon, and soon. He needs to be sure Morgana won’t suffer any punishment from what Arthur has just done.

Summary
When one started receiving lost items from their soulmate, it was supposed to be an exciting day. It was an opportunity to learn things about them and about their life. People loved making speculations about who their soulmate was based on the clothes, childhood toys, or other things that their soulmate lost, and therefore ended up in their possession.
Everything was going fine until Merlin found a crown belonging to the prince of Camelot.

Summary
Once there was nothing left for them to do, they made their way to the Disir’s cave once more. As they arrived, Merlin started fidgeting nervously. Arthur noticed but he needed to stay focused on how to say the right thing. He planted his sword into the ground and made his way inside, Merlin following suit.
“-Arthur Pendragon. You have returned with your decision?
-I have.
-Will you embrace the ways of the Old Religion, or will you seal your fate and follow the path of your father?”
The King took a deep breath, and shifted his feet. He could feel Merlin’s eyes practically burning a hole in his neck.
“I need to do what my heart tells me is right. I have decided to heed your warning and to learn to accept magic into Camelot."
OR
After Merlin accidentally reveals his magic to Arthur, the King of Camelot decides to reinstate magic back into the land. His relationship with Merlin is forever changed, and they grow even closer than they used to be. Will their love for each other be enough to beat the fates awaiting them?

Lay Your Head Down on the Shoulder of a Good Friend by Skitz_phenom

Summary
With Camelot readying for the upcoming gathering of rulers of the Southern Kingdoms to discuss peace, Uther has tasked Arthur with an additional duty: befriend the Prince of Essetir and learn anything he can of King Balinor, and of magic, and of dragons, that might be of interest should the treaty not succeed.
That's easier said than done, as he and Prince Merlin don't exactly hit it off immediately. But, befriending Merlin and learning of magic and life in Essetir leads Arthur down the paths of discovering long held secrets surrounding his own birth, and his mother's ill health, and his father's hatred of all things magic.
Adding even more complications to the mix are rowdy knights, frustrating princesses, a possible traitor in their midst, and an overly-verbose dragon; not to mention the burgeoning and peculiar feelings for his fellow prince that Arthur struggles to put a name to.
