Summary
"The king sent me to get you," Merlin said, with a tone that implied strongly that he wasn't rolling his eyes where Arthur could see, but just wait until his back was turned. "He said you're to get changed into formal clothes and meet him in the Great Hall, there's a delegation coming from the Summer Court."

With Perks (or: Clues you are Dating: A Guide by Arthur Pendragon) by Leandra

Summary
Merlin is the perfect boyfriend - sweet, caring, sexy. And he's Arthur's best friend.
When Merlin suddenly announces that he doesn't want to date right now, it's Arthur who benefits from Merlin's newfound spare time. From friendly dinner dates to watching movies to all the little gestures - where does the friendzone end and something else begin?
In hindsight, maybe his best friend kissing him on the kiss-cam at a rugby game should have clued Arthur in?
*-*
A classical university take on "Didn't Know they were Dating", written for Prompt #22, Kiss cam! from Merlin Fluffalooza 2021My fluffy offering full of autumn winds, hopefully feeling like a warm cup of cocoa by the fire :-)

Summary
"Did you know, Merlin, that you have the most distracting mouth in all the five kingdoms?"
A clatter sounds through the room—Arthur's half-polished hauberk falling to the stone floor—and Merlin squawks, "I have what?"
"And not just because of the nonstop prattle that's always coming out of it," Arthur grouses. "It's just too goddamn pretty. Incompetent manservants are not supposed to have pretty mouths, I'm quite sure there's a rule against it."

Summary
“Perhaps we are doing her a favor then,” he says, pausing to chew the inside of his cheek before adding in a measured, careful voice. “I wouldn’t want to live without my love, either.”
Arthur whips around in the saddle to stare at him, eyes hard and dark, like the storm clouds building on the distant horizon. “What love? You haven’t got a love,” he snaps, like he’s the sole keeper of all Merlin’s secrets.

Summary
So the heart becomes bound with the roots, the lungs filled with the vines and the flowers. Thorns will maim and cut where they grasp hold. The solitary heart bears not the strength to banish the maladie. Coughing and vomiting may dislodge the barriers but only for so long as it takes for more to grow. Witches' briar consumes all in time. Thirty days from the fall of the first petal are granted unto the sufferer. Hanahaki is the curse of those with magic in their veins. No man devoid of magic’s song shall suffer this bite.
-
Merlin knows he was condemned from the moment he found the first petal on his pillow, because there is no way that Arthur Pendragon, the King of Camelot, can ever return his love.

Summary
They say falling in love can't kill you, but Arthur and the flowers in his lungs would disagree. If only Merlin wasn't so hard to fall out of love with.

Summary
The war was over.
Or at least that’s what the papers said.
They’d been saying it, for months, as if people needed reminding.
Maybe they did.
***
In which Harry and Draco both run away from their pasts and conveniently choose to hide in the same tiny American town.
It's super.

Summary
"They'll leave us alone. For a bit."
One year after the Apocalypse-That-Wasn't, Crowley and Aziraphale have settled into a new routine: keeping an eye on supernatural happenings in the world and preventing Heaven or Hell from interfering too much with humanity. It's not a bad job - despite occasional rains of fish - and if there are some unspoken things they really ought to talk about, well, they have all the time in the world now to get around to that, right?
At least, until the Archangel Raphael turns up on their doorstep looking for help... and it starts to become clear that the world is changing fast, and so are they.
Or: Crowley and Aziraphale start a detective agency. Shenanigans ensue. Slowburn continues. Apparently, there is plot. I have some thoughts about Heaven, Hell, and humanism. There will be stupid jokes and a healthy sprinkling of angst.

Summary
When Sherlock is bored, John very politely plays chess with him. He's so very obliging but he's also suffering from a seemingly desperate lust that's exacerbated when they decide that strip chess is an excellent idea.
Excellent, but very dangerous.
Fluff, smut and Sherlock and John getting naked a lot.
