Summary
“Is it really that hard to admit you like me?" Merlin can't help the giddy laugh that escapes his mouth. "Just say it!”
Arthur whips back around. “I can’t!” he says loudly, and his voice rings sharp as a blade through the air. The lines of his face are not the careless lines of humour Merlin had expected; his features are braided with anguish and decision, warring with one another, and the smile drops from Merlin’s face.
"Arth--"
“How can I admit that I think about you all the time? Or that I care about you more than anyone? How can I admit that I don’t know what I’ll do if any harm comes to you?” Arthur rakes a frustrated hand through his hair, watching Merlin as though he expects him to drop everything and run.

Summary
Arthur immediately notices two things.
First, Merlin is visibly older. He’s grown into his body in the year that Arthur’s been gone, clumsy movements becoming surer and less awkward. His hair is a bit longer now, showing off his natural curls and framing his ears, which are now pierced with small purple plugs. His clothes no longer hang off of him like they used to and instead cling to him just right, showing off lean muscle where there used to be none, and Arthur realizes he’s staring but doesn’t make himself stop.
Second, Merlin is hot. And exactly Arthur’s type.

Summary
Manservant Merlin x Princess Arthur
Princess Arthur doesn't care what a man does in his free time as long as he finishes his job. She authorizes Merlin to use her dress for special activities, and herself at last. -

Summary
"Really?" Arthur asked, brushing the dirt off of him as he glowered at the man. "Again? I had it under control - and we aren't allies!" He added heatedly. Balinor shrugged, looking nonplussed by Arthur's anger as he stroked the dragon's wing.
"I know." Balinor said simply. "But I promised my son I wouldn't let you die."
"Your...You have a son?" Arthur demanded. Again, Balinor shrugged. "Why does your son...? Nevermind. Don't save me again!" He snapped, pointing a finger at the man. He turned to stalk back to the horse only for a column of fire to blow past him. The prince jumped. He spun around to tell the man off again but immediately noticed one of the remaining bandits who had been slowly creeping towards him burnt to a crisp. He looked back at Balinor.
"Sorry."
Or
Balinor lives. Arthur will do pretty much anything to get the man to stop saving his life.

Summary
“Gorwin is my King,” Merlin says, golden eyes fixed flatly on Arthur. “And I work for him. That’s what it says.”
“That’s what what says?” Arthur all but roars, wishing he had a sword just so that he could swing it at something. He needs to let all of this anger at something, anything, he’s just not sure at what and he doesn’t really care anymore.
“The treaty you signed."
Or:
Arthur lends Merlin's aid as a sorcerer to an allied kingdom. He doesn't expect to find Merlin, two years later, in shackles, and only a mere echo of the person he used to be.

Summary
Sometimes Merlin's life feels like someone's idea of a hilarious joke. A run in with a fertility god and the wrong sort of berries does not improve his situation. But if he can bring himself to trust Arthur, maybe everything will work out after all.
For prompt#8.

Summary
From a prompt on Tumblr
"As Arthur and the rest of Camelot get more comfortable with magic, Arthur makes a decision. He’s tried teaching Merlin every type of weapon out there, and he’s hopeless with every one of them. But, Merlin still insists on coming with him on dangerous quests. So, Arthur decides to have Merlin try his hand at magic so he has some sort of self defense"-

Summary
Mummy Holmes had summoned everyone home to meet with their respective partners. What follows next is pure chaos!
Be warned, I have not watched the James Bond movies for a while so the character will probably be very OOC. Sorry about that!

Summary
It started after the death of Uther, the possessiveness.
Maybe it’d always been there to some degree. Merlin blamed it on their destiny, the unbreakable umbilical cord that tied them together even when they physically existed on opposite ends of the kingdom.
After Uther’s death, though, the cord tightened on Arthur’s end and Merlin went willingly.
