    Summary

    When Arthur decides he is ready to try to court the one he wants, Merlin swallows his feelings for his friend and offers to help. Some one-on-one quality time ensues, his feelings grow instead of the opposite, and everything hurts a little more than he had expected (right up until it doesn't anymore).

    Summary

    The one where Arthur finds out about Merlin’s magic during a hunting trip gone bad, and Merlin, to prevent his powers from falling into the wrong hands, entrusts them to Arthur. Once that he becomes the recalcitrant keeper of his manservant’s magic, the king has the opportunity to form his own opinion about it.

    Well, if you ask Arthur, Merlin might be the most powerful warlock to ever walk the earth, but his magic doesn’t feel all that scary. It is almost cuddly. And affectionate. And protective, bordering on clingy. On reflection, it almost seems as if Merlin’s magic is fond of him.

    The king vows to ask Merlin for an explanation as soon as he has managed to bring his friend back from wherever he has disappeared to, and defeat the mysterious dark force plotting against Camelot.

    Summary

    “What was his name? The gardener’s son?” Merlin said casually as if he didn’t know that it was him.

    His heart was thundering, and it felt like an eternally went by, but it was barely a second.

    “Can’t remember,” Arthur said, looking down at his drink. He shrugged before taking a sip then adding, “I remember it was something unusual though, an uncommon name but it had suited him.”

    As they continued the drinking game Merlin kept wondering if he should have told Arthur right then it had been his first kiss too.

    Merlin finds out that one of his best mates from uni is also the same boy he shared his first kiss with when he was nine.

    Summary

    Arthur, who doesn't know about Merlin's magic, hosts a tournament for his Court Sorcerer. Merlin is not jealous. No, why would he be? That's stupid. So what if the new Court Sorcerer seems to be kinda powerful? Also, power-hungry people suck. Like a lot.

    -or-
    Arthur knows but doesn't know. Merlin hates the new guy (with good reason). Arthur ignores Merlin. They're idiots.

    Summary

    "Gaius sighed, 'That’s the problem, my boy. It’s so rare that it hasn’t been seen in over a generation. The only account I could find was limited. The patient had fallen in love with a married man who did not love her, and she had started to develop a cough that had produced flowers rather than mucus. A post-mortem examination found that a flower had magically planted itself in the woman’s lungs and had wrapped around her heart.'"

    In which Merlin develops Hanahaki disease, but mysteriously does not die from it.
