Summary
But there were moments when there was no destiny, when he was just Merlin and he was just Arthur… And, in those rare gentle moments, he was utterly consumed by devotion and all he wanted was to cup Arthur's face with his hands and tell him that it would be alright, that he didn't have to suffer through it alone, that destiny was a burden they both shared… It was moments like these when he was convinced that a simple kiss to Arthur's lips would make everything better…even if it would forever shape the future they were destined to build.
Or: Arthur is feeling insecure after a long day and Merlin reassures him in the best way he can.

Summary
He let the silence stretch on for a few minutes, staring mindlessly at the show in front of them. It was something about some girl and some prince. Merlin didn’t really know—wasn’t really paying attention. He dropped a hand down to his lap and carefully picked Arthur’s up off his thigh before lacing their fingers and resting their now joined hands back down. Then, he whispered the question that had been nagging at him since they woke tangled in bed that morning,
“Are we dating?”

Summary
“Hello, welcome to Camelot Coffee. How can I help—” Arthur’s voice cut off, breath catching as his eyes met the deep blue gaze of the man across the counter. His heart fluttered in his chest and a light heat rose to his face. “—you…”
The man was breathtaking.
His hair was dark and messy, and his cheekbones were strong and his lips—were moving. Oh, his lips were moving...? Oh! Arthur snapped out of his daze with wide eyes at the realisation the man was talking. His flush only deepened when he also realised he hadn’t heard a word the customer had said.
“I’m—could you…repeat that?” Arthur found himself asking, a touch of uncertainty in his voice. Only slightly embarrassed. The customer cocked an eyebrow, so Arthur let out a small chuckle, tacking on to the end, “Sorry, been a long night.”
Or
Arthur's taking on a few extra shifts to help pay for holiday gifts. It's pure luck when one of those shifts he meets Merlin, exhausted and looking for a kick of caffeine to help him through his own night shift.

Summary

Summary
Merlin loves Doritos. They could possibly be the best thing he has ever tasted. But would he give up Doritos to go back and save Arthur? That’s a good question… Why can’t he just have both?
or
Merlin gets sent back in time to save Arthur. He’s older and wiser this time, so it’s pretty easy, but recreating Doritos in medieval times might be more than he can handle.

Summary
Leon is TIRED. He doesn't have any secrets. It's not his fault the Idiots of the Round Table are only observant when they are bored. It definitely is not his fault if they jump to conclusions faster than Gwaine hops bars or Percival 'accidentally' starts fights.
Sir Leon has no secrets. Absolutely none at all.

Summary
“Arthur…” A tempting voice called from within the room. Arthur hummed softly and stepped through the doorway, looking over to the bed where the voice came.
His heart swelled with love when he was met with the sight of Merlin and Gwaine snuggled on the bed, duvet pulled around their waists, smiling at him. Merlin half-sat on Gwaine’s lap, and Gwaine had his arms loosely around Merlin’s waist as he pressed kisses to Merlin’s shoulder.
Their clothes were strewn across the bedroom, and both of them were littered with marks of love.
“You’re home!”

Or
_Arthur comes home after a long day at work and wants nothing more than to sleep with his lovers.

Summary
A series of oneshots written for every episode of BBC Merlin as I rewatch it. This series has been on hiatus for more than a year so I'm happy to announce that it no longer is! I will however not post regularly, except for probably these last few months of 2022 because it's the 10th anniversary since s5 aired and I'll most likely be rewatching it and probably writing fics for it too. (And yes, that means I'm skipping the rest of s2, s3 and s4, but I'll get back to them later.) I haven't seen s5 since it aired, but I think a decade of waiting has been enough, so let's celebrate the anniversary :D

Summary
For once in his life, he wished he was someone else. Someone who lived a peaceful, normal, easy life.
But he knew that wishes would do him no good and that fruitless imaginations would lead him nowhere, and so he sighed as he opened the door to his and Arthur’s chambers, expecting the king to be asleep.
So he was shocked when he found that he wasn’t asleep, but instead sitting at his desk with a dinner for two on the table, and candles lit all around it.
Or:
Merlin never thought that after becoming the Court Sorcerer and deciding to accept Arthur's courtship, that things would be simple.
But after a rough day, Merlin's feeling more tired than ever.
So, Arthur surprises Merlin with a pleasant dinner and some restful sleep, hoping that Merlin might finally get the peaceful night he deserves.
