Summary
It's bad enough that Arthur is going to have to get a stupid fucking stats tutor because he spends all of his lectures staring at the back of Merlin's neck and wondering what sort of noises he'd make if Arthur scraped his teeth against all that pale skin. But now, now he's supposed to tolerate Merlin showing up at his door early in the morning with snowflakes clinging to his eyelashes? Now he's supposed to spend four hours alone in a car with him, and fuck all, there is no way Arthur comes out of this without making some manner of arse out of himself.

Summary
Arthur remembers. Merlin does not.
This is a story of centuries of rebirth, and the people who always endure. It is the story of how Merlin forgot who he was, and found Arthur again anyway. It is a story of truth, identity and family. It is a story of love.

Summary
Written for this kinkme_merlin prompt: I'd like a story based on the Selection-Trilogy by Kiera Cass - I haven't read the books, just write your own story but based on this summary:
For thirty-five girls/boys, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in a palace and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Arthur.
But for Merlin Emrys, being Selected is a nightmare. Leaving his home to enter a fierce competition for a crown he doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.
I'd just love to see Merlin being from a lower caste than most of the others and not liking Arthur at first and just being his usual self, before he starts to actually like the prince. I'm looking for a lot of snark and Arthur secretly liking Merlin's difficult personality.
There's a love triangle in the books, but I'm not really a fan of that, so I'd be very happy if it's left out of the story. Choose whatever reason you like to make Merlin actually enter the competition.

Summary
In 2013, a carefully-designed Obliviation leaves Harry reconfiguring his life and identity without any memories of true love; an act that's essentially erased Draco Malfoy from his mind despite a wedding band and shared home.
In 2000, Draco had expected Pansy's relationship with Luna to bring the Gryffindors a bit closer to his orbit of quiet, carefully pacifistic existence, but he never expected to navigate such a transparent embrace into a unit of family, friendship, and love.
A mystery, two love stories, and a reminder that learning to love never has an end date.

Summary
Who on earth decided that bringing back the Yule Ball for their eighth year would be a good idea? It feels like the worst day of Harry’s life, watching everyone get glammed up like the war never happened, like the last Triwizard Tournament wasn’t such a colossal failure.
And then it happens again. And again. And again.

Summary
With nothing else to occupy his mind, Merlin's thoughts turned to Arthur. He’d looked so happy with Lance at the pub, everything about them fitting together perfectly. How awful was Merlin, to resent Arthur’s happiness? God knows Arthur hadn’t always had an easy time of it, with his bigoted father. He deserved happiness, even if it couldn’t be with Merlin.
Another coughing fit took him, harsh coughs tearing from his throat as he desperately gasped for air. There was something stuck in his throat, tearing at his windpipe, and try as he might, he couldn’t dislodge it. Black spots began to dance in front of his eyes, and he realised, as if watching from afar, that he was about to faint. The last thing he felt was the pain of crashing to his knees on the ugly carpet, and then nothing.Day 6 - “you’re in love with him.” + hurt!merlin/comfort!arthur

Arthur resigns himself to staying at uni over the Christmas holidays, with his mates going home and Merlin going back to his mum in Ealdor. He envisions peace and quiet away from his father and tries not to think about the sad, lonely meal he’ll eat by himself on Christmas Day.
He should have known Merlin — and Hunith — would never let him be alone on Christmas.

Summary
“Get out of my sight, and don’t come back until you can prove to me why I should allow you to remain in my service.”
Merlin stares at Arthur, confused. His tone was ominous, and it certainly sounded like a threat, but Merlin can’t quite work out what part is supposed to have him shaking in his boots. He’s halfway back to Gauis’ chambers when it dawns on him: Arthur actually thinks this stupid, degrading job is something he would be willing to fight for - as though Merlin’s life wouldn’t be complete without the honor of scrubbing the sheets Arthur manages to soil on a disturbingly regular basis.
In which it takes Merlin a bit longer to warm up to Arthur than it does in canon, but he gets there in the end.

Sure, Merlin wished Arthur had gotten in touch after that night, but he wasn’t going to make that mistake again. Fool him once and all that.

He had smiled and thanked them all, of course, despite wanting nothing more than to kick their teeth in.

Summary
“Say something stupid,” Merlin says.
Arthur quirks an eyebrow. “Like what?”
“Anything. Literally anything that comes out of your mouth will count.”
“That’s incredibly rude.”
“Yes, perfect.” Merlin burrows into Arthur’s side, letting out a hum of contentment. “What a pointless conversation this is.”
