Summary
Merlin arrived in Camelot months ago, as a scrawny fourteen-year-old with nothing to his name but magic that would get him killed. Now he's fifteen, apparently made a good impression with the King and as a reward (?) he gets to be manservant to His Royal Pratness, Jr. himself, and is *also* apparently supposed to keep said monarchal clotpole alive long enough to change the world for the better. And be Gaius's apprentice in the healing rooms. And keep his magic tamped down enough to not have his head detached by way of axe, or skin removed, or burned to a blackened husk, or whatever else the glorious King decides is appropriate punishment for a sorcerer that day.
Now, he's only fifteen. But he can totally handle this, right? Easy peasy.Series

Summary
Gaius tells him near the end of their lesson that sometimes, people’s personality traits can indicate their secondary gender. That plants an idea in Merlin’s head. Gaius then tells him that sometimes alphas and omegas can, consciously or not, tell the secondary gender of someone who hasn’t presented because of their enhanced sense of smell. That reinforces the idea in Merlin’s head.

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
“You don’t seem like a king.”
Arthur lowered the scroll onto his lap and peered over at the child, curious and maybe a little offended. “Why not?”
Merlin shrugged. “You don’t sound like a king, for one.”
“And pray tell, Merlin, how is a king supposed to sound?”
“I don’t know,” he muttered. “Strong. Powerful.” Suddenly Merlin sat up straight, puffing his chest out and pinching his face into a rugged scowl. His voice pitched low, sounding odd in his young body. “My name’s Arthur Pendragon,” he imitated theatrically.
Arthur couldn’t help his amused snort at his antics. “Wrong," he said, returning to the scroll. "A king doesn’t have to say his name, the people would already know it.”
Merlin smiled, a teasing gleam in his eyes. “A good king doesn’t,” he mumbled under his breath, obviously still intending for Arthur to hear.
“The only reason I don’t ‘sound like a king’ is because I have to put up with all your insolence.”
That gloating smile grew on Merlin’s lips and Arthur knew he was going to lose this battle. “A good king wouldn’t put up with that either.”

Summary
The particulars of what happened, Arthur decided, were not important at the time. What was important was why Lancelot stood in the doorway to his room holding a child—no, toddler?—who thrashed and kicked until he ended up being held upside down. The child, even more importantly, looked suspiciously like Merlin.
