Summary
"Classical musicians thinks they're royalty.", Merlin muttered to himself. “Why don’t you play drones? Or is that too difficult for you, My Lord?”
Arthur stood up. The anger made his entire body shake. He wasn't going to stay here and be spoken to in this insulting way!
-----
Arthur plays the violin. Merlin plays the fiddle. Same instrument, but completely different techniques. How will they be able to get along?AU everyone's a musician.

Summary
Visiting nobles were nothing new. Merlin had met enough to no longer be impressed by their inflated grandiosity. Not that he was in the habit of doing it before. His first meeting with Arthur was a good example of that.
But how could Merlin have foreseen that the visit of this Lady, on her way to her grieving sister, would lead to the revelation of all these hidden secrets, including his own.Inspired by Swedish folklore.

Summary
Now, he saw the marks painting the canvas of Merlin's body, and he witnessed another story: one of unquestionable fealty. Nor was it born out of duty: a knight's oath to protect the house of Pendragon and the lands they called their home. Merlin's vows were not about the crown that would one day rest upon Arthur's brow. He did not care about titles or power. Perhaps promises of destiny had planted the seed, but it was Arthur – a man like any other bar the circumstances of his birth – who Merlin had fought for with such fervour, time and again.
Not a knight, but a warrior all the same.
Arthur appreciates all that Merlin has done in his name.

Summary
Being the face of a new haute-couture men's line wasn't on Merlin's bucket list when he started modelling to pay for uni, but he's excited about it. Or he would be, if the photographer hadn't acted like such a wanker. (Too bad he's hot.)
~*~*~
Arthur loves being a photographer, but he hates everyone only using him to make them famous. At least he's got his friends around him ... and an annoying new up-and-coming model who happens to be just his type.
~*~*~
Sometimes, you find art where you least expect it.

Summary
Arthur was tipped back against the wall, his mouth open for breath and staring at the small arrow-slit window over Merlin's head, trying to work out how it could possibly be that good with Merlin, of all people.

Summary
This is all Gwen's fault. Merlin never wanted a stupid smartphone in the first place. Now, he has a smartphone and a supercilious, posh git bullying him on Whatsapp. He really should block the prat.
or
The one where Merlin doesn't block the prat and finds out that, maybe, smartphones aren't so bad after all.

Summary
'Fear not, my boy. There are many pitfalls between negotiations and an actual wedding day. Perhaps there'll be no need for your jealousy.'
'My what? I am not jealous!'
Gaius merely smiled at him and returned to his stew. 'Of course not. Now eat your vegetables.'
When Uther's usual efforts to arrange a match for Arthur take a more serious turn, Merlin comes to a few realisations about his own feelings. He also learns that maybe he does not know Arthur as well as he once thought. Can he get to the bottom of the tangle of Arthur's emotions, and maybe sort his own out in the process?
Based on the word "Felicitous" For Melissa
