Summary
Merlin is the idiot that serves Arthur his coffee every morning. One day, he gives Arthur a note that says:
Hey, if you're not gay, my friend thinks you're cute. Here's her number: 02076 553421
(And if you are gay, here's mine: 02083 213478)
And Arthur is very heterosexual about the whole thing.
Or,
Merlin slips Arthur his number, and Arthur has a whole gay panic over it.Bookmarked by pineconeproblem

Summary
"Well, how did you know I would..." Arthur seemed to search for the words. "React positively?"
It was now Merlin’s turn to scoff. “Oh please, Arthur, you’re not as sly as you think. When I took off my neckerchief, you turned puce.”
“That should be illegal." Arthur flushed red. "I shouldn’t have to see your neck.”
Or, Merlin and Arthur start hooking up around the end of s1, after they’ve both, in a completely platonic way, decided the other is worth dying for. This situation is just a FWB one, not at all romantic, right? Right?
(OR or; author explores Merlin's crazy fucking devotion to Arthur, and Arthur's crazy devotion to Merlin. They're so codependent.)

Summary
Arthur Pendragon is one of Camelot Cricket Club's best players, an all-rounder set to make the national team if he plays his cards right. That is, until he injures himself mid-match. Recovery is nasty on your own, so Gwen and Morgana suggest Gwen's friend Merlin to help out around the house while Arthur heals. Arthur is reluctant to have a near stranger in his flat, but after a while he finds himself rather fond of Merlin and his 2 AM grilled cheese.

Summary
Arthur woke up. This was a shock since he last remembered a sword being pushed through his stomach.
(Arthur experiences a time loop after a noble successfully kills him. Anytime he dies, he wakes up the morning of the arrival of his would-be murderer. As the loops continue, the secrets he learns begin to stack up, and there's enough to shatter what he believes about his family, his life, who he loves, and what his duty is to Camelot. Here's to hoping he can uncover each lie before the weight of them crush him.)

Arthur's biggest problem to date, Merlin thinks darkly as he carries yet another load of suspiciously not-really-dirty clothing down the stairs, is an unaccountable fear of anyone, anywhere, suspecting he's capable of being other than a complete and utter prat.

Summary
A Modern day Merlin AU set at the University of St Andrews, featuring teetotal kickboxers, secret wizards, magnificent bodyguards of various genders, irate fairies, imprisoned dragons, crumbling gothic architecture, arrogant princes, adorable engineering students, stolen gold, magical doorways, attempted assassination, drunken students, shaving foam fights, embarrassing mornings after, The Hammer Dance, duty, responsibility, friendship and true love...
This story was inspired by the thought of Prince William of Wales (and indeed the current Max von Hapsburg) studying at the University of St Andrews; it is also, as the title suggests, at least a little inspired by the operetta 'The Student Prince'.
Grateful thanks to Lamardeuse and DarkEmeralds for Beta and cheerleading!
::2019 note: This story was written BEFORE the TV show introduced the character of Gwaine. It's not that I can't spell, or that I'm perversely writing him out of character - I incorporated other characters from Arthurian legend (Kay, Gawain etc) into my story, and lacking prophetic abilities, my versions naturally don't mesh with the versions subsequently introduced into the show.::

Summary
“There is a long and noble tradition,” says Arthur, pulling back the chair, “although one that has fallen out of favour with my father of late, in which you now have the honour to partake.” He nods at his own place. “So sit down.”
Merlin, frowning, takes a step towards the table.
“Actually, wait,” says Arthur. “Lock the door first. I do not want anybody walking in on this.”
Merlin looks faintly alarmed, but he turns, slides home the bolt on Arthur’s door, and sits, as he is told, in Arthur’s place.
