"I wasn't lurking," I shook my head, "And you know that. You wouldn't let them put me into the dungeon again, would you?"
"That's why I'm giving you the chance to leave," he whispered in a low tone, fully emptying his glass now and putting it back down onto his table, "Might be embarrassing for the both of us, if the prince's servant was found in said prince's chambers after curfew." Arthur glanced at me with a smirk spread all over his lips. "Bonus points for the prince being sparsely dressed."

Arthur finds his servant in his bedroom, searching for a rat.

Summary
“Some of the men…have been enchanted into women.”
Gwaine stares at Lancelot. Lancelot stares back, thinning his lips. Gwaine tilts his head and squints slightly, trying to understand the joke. Lancelot’s eyebrows furrow and he grimaces, disproportionally upset. Gwaine’s eyes slowly widen.
He opens his mouth to speak but Lancelot interrupts, “Yes, King Arthur is one of the affected men.”
Gwaine shuts his mouth and nods, probably doing a horrible job of concealing his amusement.

Summary
From a prompt on Tumblr
"As Arthur and the rest of Camelot get more comfortable with magic, Arthur makes a decision. He’s tried teaching Merlin every type of weapon out there, and he’s hopeless with every one of them. But, Merlin still insists on coming with him on dangerous quests. So, Arthur decides to have Merlin try his hand at magic so he has some sort of self defense" -

Summary
In a land of myth, and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young man. His name:... Well, Arthur doesn't know his real name, but he'd bloody well like to find out.
Or
Arthur has known about his destiny to unite Albion as the Once and Future King since he stumbled on that ridiculously large Dragon his father had imprisoned under the castle when he was a young child. Now, all he has to do is find Emrys - his prophesized magical partner, navigate becoming the Crown Prince of Camelot and his father's hatred of all things magic, and survive the frankly insane amount of attacks against him by angry sorcerers. If only his idiot manservant could be on time to work for once.
Or
An ambitious canon rewrite of Merlin season one from Arthur's POV, if he was already pretty cool with magic from the start but was still just as oblivious to Merlin as he was in the show.

The Camelot Chronicle presents.....How to Woo a Guy in 31 Days!
Everyone thinks Merlin has more game than Arthur, who takes full offense to that, thank you very much. Like he always does, Arthur rises to the challenge to prove himself: Can he successfully romance Merlin, of all people? Even with all the support from his knights and a large book of rather dirty pick up lines (Thanks, Geoffrey), seducing his manservant proves to be harder than anything he's done before.

Summary
Arthur looked down between them as he heard his belt drop to the stone floor, gulping hard in anticipation, but Merlin had plans of his own.
A surprised huff escaped Arthurs mouth as Merlin shoved his thigh between his legs, gripped hard onto his hips and lifted him onto the table in one clean motion. When Arthurs bottom hit the wooden surface, it made a small creaking sound and Arthur almost moaned, out loud.
He looked at Merlin, breathless, wild-eyed, gulping down the last bit of his self control.
"When did you get so bloody strong?!"Aka Arthur is fascinated and turned on by Merlins "sudden" strength (like all of us).
