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
Merlin may need to submit every once in awhile, but that doesn't mean he wants a relationship, and he certainly doesn't want to fall in love. Of course, he wasn't counting on Arthur.

Summary
The stranger was only an inch, perhaps two, taller, but the difference felt cavernous in the press.
Dark hair razor-trimmed at the temples. Cheekbones that could have been machined. Eyes so dark they swallowed the cabin light—steady, unblinking. Something in the angularity of the face, the absolute economy of movement, made Jim’s hindbrain supply the word Vulcan before anything else could override it.
Their eyes met.
Jim’s lungs forgot protocol.

Summary
Arthur Pendragon is recovering from a nasty divorce; his wife Gwen, ran off with his best friend Lance, and left him heartbroken. Getting very drunk at his sister Morgana’s engagement party a year later, Arthur finds himself flirting outrageously with a tall, dark and handsome stranger … and then waking up next to him, and not remembering a thing. Except for the fact that he’s straight, so … what? Merlin re-introduces himself, with pancakes, and Arthur wants to take him on a date.
A frantic ‘Gay’ google marathon ensues:
How do you know if you’re gay?
Can you have a gay mid-life crisis?
Is it normal to want to experiment with your sexual identity after a bad break-up?
Can divorce make you less straight?
How do I have gay sex?
How do I find a prostate?
How do you give a blowjob?
Are guys nipples sensitive?
Do gay men like to be taken on romantic dates?
Do gay men like flowers?- Language:

Summary
Merlin's job as PR junior on the royal account isn't as glamorous as people believe: Most nights, he's saving Arthur, Duke of York and black sheep of the family, from possibly committing monarchy-shattering shenanigans. When tragedy hits and Arthur is now second in line to the throne, the public doesn't react too favourably to the new Prince of Wales.
A solution has to be found and Merlin's contribution is key to the problem: Roped into posing as Arthur's fake boyfriend, he's supposed to make Arthur's popularity levels rise with his steadfast and relatable presence and elevate him from scandalous rake to romantic figure...

Summary
Arthur has been with just about every girl in the sixth form. Merlin pines from afar, knowing he doesn't have a chance. Then Merlin gets an invitation, and realises he has a chance after all. Apparently Arthur is bored and wants to try something new. Merlin knows it's meaningless sex, but he might just be okay with that. Even if the butterflies in his stomach say otherwise.

Merlin knows that getting off fastest when he's got some BDSM porno playing loud on the computer doesn't mean he'd really like to be that bloke, gagged and bent over and bound. Right?

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.

"I'd like to see you do this to yourself one day," Arthur says against Merlin's ear. "Watch you spread your legs and wet your fingers, slide them inside to make yourself ready for me."

Summary
“Are you telling me you broke up, because you can’t keep it down?”
Arthur scowls into his pint, giving Gwaine an unimpressed look.
Gwaine grimaces. “Sorry, that came out wrong. You broke up, because she didn’t like that you’re a little more...vocal when showing your appreciation?”
Now, that sounds even worse. Why has he told Gwaine anything again?
***
In which Arthur is too loud during sex, and his lovers hate it. Cue Merlin, who's determined to take Arthur apart.Bookmarked by H_Squared

Summary
Arthur’s treehouse was the same as Merlin remembered it, all of it was. Maybe a little smaller, but then everything was, now.
And then there was Arthur himself; and it wasn't so much that a lot had changed about him, not really, it was only that everything had lengthened and broadened and become more.

Summary
“Arthur, we need to talk, my… magic-“
“Merlin,” Arthur interrupts, because he cannot have that conversation – or any conversation – now. “We will talk about it, I promise.” Because they will. There’s so much he needs to say, and ask, and possibly yell for. “But I say shagging first, talking later, yeah?”
Or
Arthur lets it slip that he knows about Merlin’s magic when they’re about to have sex for the first time. Oh, and he also lets it slip he might be a tiny bit in love with him. And that he maybe, possibly, also wants to marry him one day. Oops.

Summary
What Arthur knows: Merlin, his clumsy and foolish servant, is actually quite smart. He’s also loyal, and brave, and in many ways the reason Arthur has so many good people in his life.
The goal: Make Merlin realize how important he is to Arthur, no matter how stubborn he's clearly chosing to be about it.
What Arthur does not know, yet: Merlin has magic. Also they're very slightly a little bit in love.
It's going to take them a while to figure it all out. Meanwhile the knights have known for ages, Gwen figures it out pretty quick, and pretty much all of Camelot has also known ever since that weird peasant stumbled through the gates and challenged the Prince all those years ago.

Summary
Everyone knew blind dates were a terrible way to meet people, except, apparently, Merlin's friends. That was how he got set up with Freya's supposedly fit tattoo artist. No matter what she said, he fully expected it to be a complete disaster.

Summary
Merlin's Friday isn't going to plan, to say the least. Especially when he takes the wrong late-night bus and ends up in Frat Row where he meets Arthur, the annoying frat boy that sits behind him in poetry class, who, by the way, is entirely to blame for the drunkenness, betting, sex, and poetry reciting that follows.

Summary
“It has its roots in a legend from the east, sire. I believe it’s called the red string of fate.”
“Fate?” Arthur said incredulously. “What, is he going to be the one to kill me?”
“Getting more likely by the minute,” Merlin supplied.
“Shut up, Merlin.”
Gaius held up a weary hand. “Legend has it that the string connects people to the person with whom they are most compatible.” There was a beat of silence.
“You have got to be kidding me.”

Summary
"Fucking fire alarm. Fucking april weather. Fucking dormitories. Fucking middle of the fucking night."
It's 3 o'clock in the morning and Arthur is standing out in the middle of the street in the cold and it's about as miserable and inconvenient as it can possibly be. But then the class geek shows up in his underwear with a package like none Arthur has ever seen. There may or may not be drooling, but that's only because Gwaine's right when he calls Arthur a cockslut.
