Summary
The disbelief knocked the air out of Arthur’s lungs, harsher than a fight or a battle wound ever did, like a bang straight to the chest. It was all he felt at first, and he wanted to double over with it, to scream that this couldn’t be either fair or true. Merlin couldn’t be a sorcerer—he just couldn’t. But it soon dissolved, and Arthur’s feet were steadied by abrupt smoldering rage, blinding the familiarity of the boy in front of him.
“Are you going to kill me, Arthur?” Merlin asked, a bittersweet smile on his lips, with the tip of Arthur’s sword flashing at his throat.

Summary
Merlin isn't your average servant. He's far too sassy, he has no respect for social customs and Arthur keeps him around anyway.

Summary
Arthur found Merlin in his chambers, curled so tightly around a pillow he worried he'd hurt himself. He held his servant until they fell asleep, sheltered in the darkness of the curtains.
They should know that falling asleep in the afternoon is a guarantee that they'll wake in the middle of the night, when trying to figure out if something is real or just a dream can be...interesting.

Summary
Merlin moved to Camelot as a child with his mother to escape being hunted in Ealodr. On his first night he bumps into an arrogant, pompous, no good golden prince who threatens him with a sword. When Uther pulls him away and bans Merlin from ever coming near his son again, Merlin knows they are destined to be friends.
The boys keep their friendship hidden from the public and grow up together, learning from each other in ways no one else could understand. It was all running smoothly… until Merlin had to save his life using magic, and accidentally cementing his place as Arthur’s manservant. Now the boys have to hide that they even know each other, Merlin’s magic, and any other feelings that may get in the way as they try to guide Camelot into a golden age.OR
Merlin and Arthur meet as boys and grow up together as mates secretly. Eventually Arthur realises that feeling the way he does about Merlin isn’t how a friend should feel and Merlin is obviously clueless. They’re both clumsy idiots and apparently, stupid boys.

Summary
It is the Blitz in Britain and Merlin is called to the RAF hangar because some blonde himbo just sprinted in shouting in an ancient gaelish dialect and stole a plane to go shoot down nazis.
In other words, Albion's need is greatest, and Arthur Pendragon is back... provided he doesn't get himself killed immediately by not knowing how to land a plane.

Summary
When Uther banishes Arthur from Camelot, Arthur is certain it's the end of him and everything he had to offer to the world.
Enter Merlin and the ragtag group of misfits he and Arthur collect on an adventure that takes them across the entire kingdom. Grappling with who he is now and who he will become, Arthur embarks on a journey of self-discovery, friendship, fate, and what it truly means to be a king of prophecy.
“Merlin??”
Merlin drops the reins and spins around, “Arthur!”
Merlin beams. Arthur’s eye twitches.
“What, exactly, are you doing here?”
Merlin makes a face, “What does it look like? I stole some horses.” His lip quirks up, “And some of cook’s pies. But that was just because she’s been such a harpy all this time and she deserved it.”

Summary
At sixteen, Prince Merlin saw his kingdom destroyed and was forced into an engagement with King Cenred just because of his magic. Now, two years later and on the eve of his wedding, Merlin's crew takes him out on a final voyage before he's forced to give up his beloved ship and way of life forever in exchange for a life of darkness with Cenred. But it isn't long before the trip takes a turn for the worst and Merlin finds himself kidnapped yet again, this time by the unfairly hot and unbearably arrogant Prince Arthur Pendragon of Camelot, the very same kingdom with a reputation for making sorcerers’ heads roll. This should be fun...

Summary
"Merlin, it's for you!"
Spell-Arthur has no notion of personal space. Scratch that. Spell-Arthur only exists in Merlin's personal space. He is always standing as close as possible to him, burning Merlin's cheeks and speeding his heartbeat. Maybe it's comforting for him. But for Merlin, it has been nothing but... Challenging. Right now, Arthur's nose is almost touching his cheek and his whole body is close enough so that Merlin can sense the heat radiating from it. He gulps, looking down at the wooden stick he holds out to him. Merlin takes it cautiously, breath hitching when he answers:
"Thank you."
"D'you like it?"
Merlin doesn't know what to say, dizzy because of Arthur's proximity so he just nods. Arthur beams at him.
"Going to find another one!"--
Or
This is Merlin. Merlin loves his personal space. And this is Simpleton!Arthur. Simpleton!Arthur loves Merlin's personal space.Or
From that one episode in season 4 which makes me giggle.-
