Summary
In which Merlin is immortal, used all of his free time to do things because he'd go crazy otherwise and got filthy rich like an old vampire without meaning to, hung out with Shakespeare and a bunch of other people because why not, got gifted a pretty Cadillac that he hates by a charity he'd forgotten he'd donated to, and has a too-high alcohol tolerance for his liking.
Oh, and he bought Avalon Lake.
Because "Shut up, I just like looking at this lake and no, I don't need help."
And a bunch of other mansions and estates and penthouses all over the country because "What if he wants to live somewhere else, I need to have OPTIONS."

Basically Merlin and Arthur being weird tourists around the world. Lots of fluff (no smut, sorry, but you can imagine it, though:D), nearly no angst, just a cute tooth-rottingly sweet story to comfort your soul.

Summary
Arthur is not a man of many words. Banter, yes, fine; he’ll fire endless quips at his manservant without hesitation. He can conjure up something vaguely inspiring, too, when the occasion truly calls for it and his men require a surge of morale. But when it comes to true sentiment, moments of vulnerability, words are difficult to come by.
But even he is astounded at the disappearance of his vocabulary the first time Merlin is inside of him.

Summary
Merlin has long survived off the poignant and often slender hope that Arthur feels the connection between them at least a fraction as keenly as he himself does. Hope that the man cares more than a master does for his servant. Hope that his existence matters to Arthur for more than just chores and entertainment. That his callous attitude is truly just a front for genuine affection.
Having his hope validated so blatantly out loud is something Merlin could never have anticipated.
