    Summary

    “Arthur,” he began hesitantly.

    “Yes, Merlin?”

    A moment passed with no answer. The silence of the forest surrounding them was almost too much to bear. Then, finally,

    “I can’t find the other bedroll…” Arthur swore his heart stopped beating. “There—there is only one here.”

    Fuck.

    or

    Arthur is pining for his servant. He's doing perfectly fine not telling Merlin how he feels--until Merlin tells him they've only got one bedroll with them, and every carefully constructed wall comes crumbling down.

    Summary

    "Are you dying? Am I dying?" Merlin looks genuinely alarmed, eyes darting back and forth between the feast laid out on Arthur's dining table, to Arthur himself. Beside him, his fingers fidget, as though he's already trying to conjure up a spell to heal whatever ailment must surely have befallen Arthur to incline him towards such generosity. "Is Gwen dying? Morgana? Gaius? Lancelot or Gwaine or -?"

    Arthur rolls his eyes. "No one is dying, Merlin," he says, before Merlin can hyperventilate his way through every person they have ever met. "I just thought I would do something nice for you, for a change."

    "Oh." Merlin looks down at the table again. His brow creases. Then, prompting Arthur to once again wonder how on Earth he could have fallen so deeply in love with such an idiot, Merlin asks; "Why?"

    Summary

    Arthur doesn’t care how many people swear by it, there is no way his manservant is unmatched in bed. One man- the cheek!- swears that Merlin can make you cum with just his WORDS! Oh, Arthur’s never gonna let him live this down. He has no idea how he did it, but getting everyone to talk this rubbish? It’s priceless.
    He didn’t count on Merlin being willing to prove it to him.

    Summary

    "It's been an honor."

    Merlin tilted his head in recognition. "Likewise."

    He wasn't lying. Respectful assassins were hard to come by.

    or

    When sorcerers make an attempt on the King's life, Merlin is forced to reveal his magic. Fluffy Shenanigans ensure. In which Arthur's a sweet-heart, Gwaine's shameless, Lancelot's downright amazing, Morgana is a mood, and Merlin has a degree in dying for Arthur.

    or

    Arthur having a gay epiphany. Pure fluff. Shoddy Morgana redemption arc.

    Summary

    “Merlin, why do these people speak like that?”
    “Like what?”
    “Just…like that. I don’t know, they just speak differently.”
    “Well, sure, it’s their accent.”
    “People in Ealdor have an accent? But you don’t…”
    “Oh, I do. It just shows when I’m tired or something. I really don’t notice but people usually tell me when my accent kicks in.”
    “Oh”.

    And Arthur makes his life's mission to hear Merlin’s accent.
