    Summary

    They say everyone has a soulmate, but it's sort of up in the air whether you will ever meet yours or not. About 50% of people end up happily living with their soulmates for the rest of their lives. With such low odds, it is clear that the system messes up sometimes, right? Maybe everyone is just better off without them.

    OR

    Merlin and Arthur are acquaintances at Uni, but neither of them likes the other, and they would be perfectly happy to never meet again. But one night at a party hosted by their mutual friend Gwaine, they accidentally bump into each other, and then the soul bond forms - they are stuck with each other.

    Summary

    5 times Merlin notices Arthur treats him differently to everyone else, and 1 time he realises why.

    Merlin isn’t stupid. He knows Arthur is abnormally rude to him.
    Morgana has her own ideas about why, Leon keeps sending him pitying looks when he thinks he can't see, and Gwen is really bad at pretending she isn't amused. Merlin would just like to make it through a day without random heavy objects flying at his face, thank you very much.

    Hey, no one ever accused Arthur Pendragon of being emotionally literate.

    Summary

    And sooner or later, he finds himself picturing and writing about wanting a future with Merlin - a future where Merlin agrees with run off with Arthur to a small, remote village.

    He's got it all written out - Arthur would feed the chickens and Merlin would pluck the berries they planted. They'd grow carrots and wheat and maybe even keep bees. They'd lean on each other and kiss as the sun sets.

    Arthur would love Merlin, and Merlin would love him back.

    -

    Or: Arthur has kept a journal of all his wants ever since he was young. He finds it getting filled with nothing but Merlin.

Meanwhile, first year student Merlin is having a great time hanging out with his best friend Morgana, and has no issue when people confuse them as brother and sister. It's not like her real brother goes to school there too, everything will be fine!

    or

    The simple tale of Morgana not telling Merlin about Arthur transferring schools mid year and the havoc it causes. Seriously, what could go wrong?
