Summary
“It is not like you,” Arthur muses suddenly, and very, very quietly, “to lie to me.”
Merlin’s lungs freeze in his chest. “What?” he chokes out.
Or: yet another 5x05 The Disir AU.

Summary
“Lord Geoffrey,” Arthur sighs, rubbing a hand along his brow in frustration. “We’ve talked about this. I am not, at this point, interested in marriage.”
Geoffrey looks over at him then, lips pinched and eyebrows high on his forehead. “No sire. I shouldn’t think you would be the right person for this, anyways. Forgive me for saying so, but I hardly think there’s a magical being in all of Albion that would happily marry you, the son of Uther Pendragon.”
Arthur flushes in anger and embarrassment, despite how he privately agrees with Geoffrey. It shouldn’t bother him so much, really— after all, he intends to marry for love. Still, the claim that no being of magic could ever love him stings for a reason he can’t quite pin.
“No, I was thinking marrying off your Court Sorcerer might be a more effective strategy for gaining magical allies.” Arthur chokes on his own spit.
Camelot has legalized magic, but needs a magical political marriage to seal the deal. Merlin gets courted. Arthur pines, stresses, and pines some more.

Summary
When bandits kidnap Merlin, Arthur and the knights, a truth serum brings light to more than one of the sorcerer's secrets. Back in Camelot, Arthur's reaction to either of them is overshadowed by two nobles arriving. As always, the guests pose a threat, and Merlin and Arthur have to figure out their feelings towards each other as well as their self-sacrificing tendencies.

Summary
After Merlin is rescued from slave traders, he notices Arthur and the knights aren't quite acting like themselves. He's not sure how to fix it but luckily he finds he doesn't have to.
Mother Nature has a way of smoothing things over, even when in the dead of winter.

Honestly, I'm just a sucker for Merlin and the knights showing affection. I will not apologize.Bookmarked by ElvisRose

Summary
Steve goes to Jonathan Byers, of all people, for some advice.
Excerpt:
"It was a wonderful day in autumn when Jonathan heard a knock on his door.
In hindsight, he should’ve seen this coming. His life had been far too peaceful these past few months."
