The Secret Society of Protectors of the Mental and Physical Sanity of the Royal Household by amariram
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)

Summary
SEQUEL OF "The Royal Household Survival Code for the Preservation of the Physical and Mental Health of the Knights and Not-Knights".
Leon had been there when Merlin and Arthur had almost killed each other the day they met. He'd been there when Arthur had gone mad because Merlin had drunk poison for him. He had been there when he had found them in the middle of the night walking around the castle talking about 'poetry'. It had been there when Arthur had found out about Merlin's magic, and it had also been there when Arthur had become increasingly jealous and possessive of Merlin.
So, Leon had always been there, right?
Whether he wanted it or not. And often, very often, he didn't want to.
And now he had missed the one important moment, the one when it was worth being there.It wasn't fair, it really wasn't.
No, Leon was upset.

Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
14 Feb 2025
Tags
Summary
Merlin knew what a Sigil represented; a concept he had been introduced to shortly after arriving in Camelot. A marriage proposal of the deepest and most romantic kind, a callback to the traditions of old – for those who appreciated such things.
As such, Arthur’s message was clear.
Keep it safe for my future bride.
And, well, he could do that. No matter what it took.

Summary
Based on this: (my post, but I altered it a bit)
Arthur is granted a wish.After years of obliviousness, Arthur has grown an awareness for how blind he is, so he wishes to be able to see people for who they really are.
That's how he begins to see people dressed differently than before. He sees servants dressed like people of the court, he sees closeted people finally representing as themselves, he sees his wife with an eternal crown over her head.
And then he sees a man walking into his rooms. His face held high, his eyes golden. His face and hands are scarred all over and Arthur knows it's emotional scars. But the man glows, his clothes that worthy of a king, no. A god.
Only when the man opens his mouth and pulls away the curtains, does it dawn on Arthur whose in front of him.
"Rise and shine :D"

Summary
Apparently, the council has nothing better to do than constantly hound Arthur about his love life. When they bring up the topic of finding a queen, Arthur desperately compromises...a compromise that still requires him to accept a lady's favor so that he can fight for her in the tournament. The only problem is the only person whose favor he would accept is Merlin's, but that would be impossible... right?

Whether Merlin’s lord or his love, at the end of the day, first and foremost; Arthur Pendragon is a giant Prat.

Summary
Arthur really wants to get rid of the ban on magic. It's a barbaric law that's led to too many enemies, the slaughter of innocents, and the persecution of people that do not deserve it. He knows it's the right thing to do and he's pushing to get it done. There's just one problem.
Merlin doesn't seem to want it.

Summary
“I’m the king,” Arthur says grumpily, swallowing around the stone that has settled in his throat, “I can wear what I want.”
“What about what I want?”
“I’m the king,” Arthur repeats slowly, since Merlin is being particularly thick, “and so you can also wear what I want.”
Or, Arthur dresses Merlin, which goes about as well as you would expect.

The Birthmark on Your Shoulder (Reminds Me) by arthur_pendragon for schweet_heart
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
24 May 2018
Tags
Summary
“Any idea how you’re getting these unique wounds?” Arthur said and took a long swig of tea. Merlin shook his head, unwilling to get into it with Arthur—there’s someone out there whose body, heart and soul are so irrevocably mine that my magic senses the bond and makes even the most piddling marks on their skin bloom on mine, but don’t worry, it’s you I’d rather buggered me into the mattress.
-Merlin is absolutely determined not to let Arthur know how much Merlin is besotted with him. Not to mention there's someone else out there who is equally besotted with Merlin. (Could it be Arthur? Perish the thought!)

Summary
Gwaine glanced at Merlin, and then across the fire. “In need of a conversation topic, eh?” he asked, a sly smile creeping across his face as he wiped the large knife on a cloth and looked expectantly at his fellow knights. “I have a lively start to conversation in mind. The subject is of an amusing but… crude nature. It goes like this: you have to say who it is you would bed, who you would wed, and who you’d want dead.”
Merlin nearly choked on his stew. Are they really going to do this?
