Summary
"He moved slowly, peppering kisses along Simon’s neck until he felt his pulse throb underneath his tongue. He hesitated, not sure as to whether or not to continue, but this hesitation was short lived as he felt Simon’s cheek slightly rub against his hair; a confirmation. He let his teeth dance across Simon’s skin, revelling in the way that Simon shivered under his touch, before slowly sinking his teeth in"

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
Merlin wakes up to the same day over and over again.
A spell gone wrong has trapped him in a loop that won’t break until he tells the truth “from the heart.” He tries everything—confessing his magic, admitting his feelings to himself—but nothing works.
Because the truth isn’t meant for him.
It’s meant for Arthur.

Summary
For want of a nail, the shoe was lost. For want of a shoe, the horse was lost. For want of a horse, the rider was lost. For want of a rider, the message was lost. For want of a message, the battle was lost. For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost. And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
Merlin manages to wrangle a visit back to Ealdor out of Arthur by telling Arthur that he will be unable to run his kingdom on his own. After Merlin leaves on his vacation, Camelot slowly but surely falls apart to Arthur’s horror and chagrin and he realizes just how much he has come to rely on Merlin’s help.

Summary
"Have we met?” Arthur insisted, shaking his head. “You seem – familiar.”
Last time, Merlin had not thought about those words, but this time they hit him hard. Arthur may not know it, hadn’t known it then, but he’d recognised Merlin. Not because he was familiar by a meeting of chance, but because their souls were intertwined by fate. And yet, it ate away at Merlin that if things were easier, if things were better, Arthur would have simply remembered.

Lay Your Head Down on the Shoulder of a Good Friend by Skitz_phenom

Summary
With Camelot readying for the upcoming gathering of rulers of the Southern Kingdoms to discuss peace, Uther has tasked Arthur with an additional duty: befriend the Prince of Essetir and learn anything he can of King Balinor, and of magic, and of dragons, that might be of interest should the treaty not succeed.
That's easier said than done, as he and Prince Merlin don't exactly hit it off immediately. But, befriending Merlin and learning of magic and life in Essetir leads Arthur down the paths of discovering long held secrets surrounding his own birth, and his mother's ill health, and his father's hatred of all things magic.
Adding even more complications to the mix are rowdy knights, frustrating princesses, a possible traitor in their midst, and an overly-verbose dragon; not to mention the burgeoning and peculiar feelings for his fellow prince that Arthur struggles to put a name to.
