Summary
Morgana ties Arthur's life to Merlin's, thinking that it'll be much easier to kill a helpless servant than the King of Camelot.
Aka, Morgana unwittingly binds Arthur's life to the most powerful sorcerer to walk the earth.
Aka, not only can they physically not leave each other's sides, but also anything Merlin feels, so does Arthur--and vice versa.

Summary
"Let him think I hate him. If that’ll stop him from risking his neck for me over and over again, then it’s a sacrifice I don’t have to think twice about."
—
Arthur finds out Merlin has magic. He also finds out how often Merlin risked his life for him and so, he does the only thing he can think of to protect him: banishment.
Hurt and angry, Merlin leaves and swears to not look back.
But, when two years pass and Morgana shows up at Merlin’s door, urging him to fill Gaius’ position as Court Physician, Merlin agrees. He really doesn’t know why, but Arthur is sure Merlin would do just about anything to get on his nerves.
Unprepared for the shock of seeing Merlin back in the castle, Arthur is forced to speed along his plans to lift the ban on magic. But between stubborn councilors, a mysterious plague, a still angry Merlin, and Morgana being Morgana, Arthur is fairly certain he’ll lose his mind before the first year of his reign even ends.

Summary
Loneliness is an insidious thing. When Merlin looks at Arthur, he sees not just a prince waiting for his time to rule, but a young man struggling to find his place in the world, with little help from anyone else.
The truth is, Arthur needs more than the friendship Merlin can offer. He needs people he can trust: men and women who will become his court and his confidants, and if he is going to survive to take the throne and lead Camelot into its golden age, he needs them sooner rather than later.
Finding loopholes in Uther’s laws is no easy feat. Court life is a dangerous game, but it’s one Merlin has every intention of winning so that Arthur can have knights of his choosing by his side.
And then there is the matter of his magic…

Summary
Arthur and Mithian are happily dating and have been living together for a couple of years. They've discussed spending their lives together, and Arthur has bought the ring. He has a whole plan for the engagement.
Then a disagreement with Mithian leads to chaos as she leaves to spend Christmas in Wales with her father. By the time Arthur arrives, he discovers that Mithian has fallen back in love with her childhood sweetheart. The worst part is that Arthur can't even return to London. His care broke down on the way there, there's no room at the inn, and he has no choice but to spend a week in Wales, crashing on a guest bed in the flat above the mechanic's shop.
At least the mechanic is cute.

Summary
"You didn't hear, then?" The man released a delighted, incredulous laugh, unknowingly drawing attention from neighbouring tables. The din in the tavern quietened. The scrape of cutlery and squeak of bar stools ceased as heads tilted towards them and ears pricked curiously. "It's only the biggest scandal of King Uther's magic-hating reign."
Arthur's hand tightened around his drink, causing the wooden flagon to creak under his grip. He glared down at the sticky, chipped veneer of the table.
"Spit it out already," the man's companion urged.
His voice dropped into a faux whisper, the way gossip-mongers always sounded when revealing an especially succulent rumour. “Prince Arthur of Camelot is a sorcerer.”

Summary
When Merlin's mate, Will, was teasing him about being single, Merlin cracked and simply invented a boyfriend to make Will shut up. Unfortunately, his mum overheard and was so happy for him, that he couldn't bring himself to tell her that it wasn’t true. Things got a little out of hand when Merlin continued to embellish the lie until he had a fully-formed pretend serious boyfriend that his mum wanted him to bring to the family Christmas party...
It was only when his friend, Gwen, pointed out that the boyfriend Merlin had made up sounded a bit like Arthur - who was part of their group of friends but not Merlin's favourite person in the world - that the idea of asking the prat to pretend to be his boyfriend at the party formed. Perhaps not the best idea ever - Merlin just hoped to be able to make it through the party without anyone guessing the truth.

Summary
Merlin eyes water as they meet Arthur’s. Blue clashing with blue, unspoken truths passing between them. Even as they gravitate towards each other, they stay a foot apart, as if afraid of being seen even when they’re completely alone.
They never acknowledge these moments, even when they feel so real and all encompassing. They both pretend they’re just passing fancies, moments of brotherhood, when they know it’s much more than that. Brotherhood doesn’t (shouldn’t) have lingering touches and glances, bitten lips and watery wanting eyes, or wet dreams in the middle of the night.
This isn’t brotherhood, and both of them are well aware. Too aware.
OR
Ten times Merlin and Arthur (unsuccessfully) hid their feelings from each other and the one time they didn't.

Charting Stars On A Stained Glass Ceiling by mornmeril for Amanita_Fierce

Summary
Merlin leads a relatively content life - or as content as is possible under the rule of a magic-hating King. When the arrogant son of said magic-hating King starts becoming a regular at his coffee shop, Merlin is a little puzzled. When said
Princeprat then proceeds to ingest a love potion on Merlin's watch that results in him having to move into the Royal Palace as Prince Arthur's (fake) boyfriend, Merlin wonders which deity he has angered. Things only get more complicated from there.“Welcome to The Drip and Grind, what can I get for you?"
“The same thing I always have,” Prince Arthur says, sounding vaguely disdainful and unbearably posh. “One would think you’d remember my order by now."
Merlin scowls. He remembers His Haughtiness’ order perfectly well, but sees no reason to inflate an already unbearably large ego.
“You’re not my only customer,” Merlin keeps his voice coolly polite; barely.
“You realise that’s not the proper way to address me?”
And is that a smirk at the corner of the stupid prat’s, stupidly gorgeous mouth?
“Apologies, your High-and-Mightiness. Now do you think you can tell me your order or must I divine it from my crystal ball?”- Language:

Summary
When running a private detective agency, you expect a little bit of excitement and drama. But you certainly don’t expect death. After Arthur is killed in a strange accident one night, Merlin can’t help but think that there's more to it than meets the eye. Now he's stuck with a ghost for a partner, and time is running out for Arthur to resolve his unfinished business before he ends up trapped here for good. It's up to Merlin to help him figure things out so that he can cross over, but that's easier said than done when there's a murderer on your tail.
One thing's for sure: as best friends for life, Merlin and Arthur won’t let a little thing like death come between them.

Summary
Riding is not just about winning, and that's something that Merlin Emrys has always prided himself in believing. Sure, winning is great, and why else spend ridiculous amounts of money on horse shows if not to win? However, it isn't until a new boy shows up on the circuit, a boy who starts effortlessly winning everything, that Merlin starts rethinking his previous beliefs. What he doesn't see, though, is that there is a fine line between love and hate, and that the path he's heading down will lead to some interesting discoveries about not only himself, but everyone around him.
