Summary
Modern magical AU. “If you had loved me—“ Merlin swallows as soon as he says the words, but he forces himself to continue, to go on and say it all, because he deserves to stop being haunted by memories and dreams can never have again. And Arthur has to hear it all. “If you had ever fucking loved me, you should have fought for me and not let your father dictate whether you could or couldn’t see me again."

Summary
Commander Arthur Pendragon, a prisoner of an interplanetary war, doesn't know what drives him to take a bullet for Prince Merlin of Ealdor, his captor and Camlaan's sworn enemy. As a reward for his actions, Arthur is appointed Prince Merlin's manservant, much to both of their horror.
As the assassination attempts continue and Arthur begins to question if he ever believed in Camlaan's war, he's dragged deeper into Merlin's orbit, spiralling inexorably closer.

Summary

Summary
‘You’re hurt.’ There was an oddness to Arthur’s voice as he spoke, so Merlin opened his eyes.
‘It’s not that bad- hey! -Arthur-’
Merlin squawked as Arthur begun pulling up his shirt to see the injury. Merlin sucked in a breath as the cold winter air blew on his skin but ignored it when Arthur bent slightly and ran a gloved hand along the outskirts of the cut.
‘You’re lucky you don’t need stitches because I might hold the record for the worst nursemaid in all of Albion.’
Merlin knew Arthur was trying to lighten the mood after their close call, so he huffed out a laugh despite wanting to do nothing but sag into the prince and fall promptly asleep.

Summary
The next time Arthur doesn’t say thank you, Gwaine puts his hand on Merlin’s back, stroking down the long length of it, from the short curls of hair at the nape of his neck to the neat cinch of his waist.
“Thanks,” he praises, throwing a wink to an agape Arthur as he does. It’s wonderful.
So wonderful, in fact, that for the next fortnight, for every brusque word that spills from Arthur’s lips, Gwaine spills three sweet ones.

Summary
“I wouldn’t touch the Major Arcana.” Arthur startled, nearly dropping the cards. He whirled around to the voice. “They get twitchy.”
An ornamental crystal ball fell onto the floor behind him, shattering into millions of tiny pieces.
Behind him was a man, probably near Arthur’s age. He registered the wide, bright eyes, pale skin, and dark hair. Arthur hadn’t heard him approach. Where did he come from?
“The—” Arthur’s eyes jumped back to the magician card, “Major Arcana?”
That sounded sort of... magicky
“Yes, yes, they get so full of themselves.” The man’s lips twitched, and Arthur was inexplicably drawn to the hint of his grin.
Or, a lot can happen when you take cover under a random shop's awning. Mostly, Arthur just wants to figure out why 'The Magician' card is always his future.

Summary
Arthur is young, gorgeous, talented, and captain of one of the best football teams in England; his life should be perfect. But he can't keep a girlfriend for more than a few months, and it's not just because he isn't ready to settle down. When his most recent girlfriend dumps him, he has a rough night at the pub and has to be dragged home by his neighbour, Merlin. Merlin is an archivist, a Ph.D student, and he hates football almost as much as he hates Arthur. They both have their own reasons for not wanting to spend time with each other, but after that disastrous night, remaining silent neighbors doesn't seem like much of an option anymore.
