Summary
“You can talk to me, you know. About whatever it is that’s on your mind.”
No, no he very well couldn’t. And that was the whole problem, wasn’t it? Though it took them a long while to get there, Arthur was Merlin’s best friend. Of course, he wanted nothing more than to confide in him! He wanted to trust Arthur, he really did. But how could he do that, knowing what was on the line? Worst-case scenario would earn Merlin a place on the pyre, and best-case scenario would have Arthur subjected to a messy storm of hurt and betrayal. Merlin couldn’t do that to him, especially when he was already grappling with a growing mountain of responsibilities as a young prince. It was a no-brainer really. Merlin needed to keep his magic a secret. If not for his sake, for Arthur’s.
A rewrite of my favorite Merlin episode, because it would have been so perfect if this was when Arthur learned about Merlin's magic.

Summary
Merlin has been equal parts terrified of and crazy for Arthur, his beautiful and arrogant boss at Pendragon Pharmaceuticals for some years now.
He's already resigned to the fact that Arthur's completely out of his league, but the universe just won't cut him any slack. During the most important lab presentation of Merlin's life, a deaging spell goes awry and turns Arthur back into his seventeen-year-old self: a brash, expressive and cheeky young man so different from the one he knows.
Arthur has to stay in Merlin's flat while he races to develop a cure, and by God, the teenage Arthur's new penchant for flirting shamelessly with Merlin is going to be the death of him, it really is.

Summary
It was over. Arthur was here. The Lamia was slain. Gwen was alright. The knights would be back to normal. It was over.
Able to relax for the first time in days, he let his knees buckle and his back slide down the wall. He hit the ground, and his vision turned to mist.
Merlin didn't make it out of his encounter with the Lamia unscathed, or so Arthur thinks when he slays the beast and finds Merlin slumped against the wall and bleeding. When he learns the true source of Merlin's injuries he is furious. He does his best to push that anger away though, because being there for Merlin matters far more right now.
or
The Lamia episode but Merthur, and the knights actually injured Merlin.

Summary
“You’re a mechanic?” The man asked, eyes dancing briefly to Will’s oil-stained hands. “Perhaps I could ask for a business card. My engine has been a tad temperamental of late.”
Will's only bit of peace is the time spent alone in his storage unit-turned-workshop....until Hannibal rents a unit on the same row.

Summary
God knows it’s the longest, most quiet minute Jayce has ever experienced. Eventually, Viktor clears his throat. “Were you…Were you serious? About me joining you for Christmas?”
It's so quiet that Jayce almost misses it.
At some point, he also reminds himself to inhale. “Of course!” he breathes. “Viktor, I, I don’t want you to be here by yourself.”
A faint frown tightens Viktor’s brow again, deeper than the last, but it’s gone as soon as it appears. He sighs and nods, almost to himself. “Thank you, I…I will take you up on that offer. If that’s okay, of course, with your family.”
--
College!AU - Jayce realises that Viktor will be spending the Christmas alone at the university. He invites him to spend it with the Talis family, instead. Apparently, the word "partner" can have all kinds of meanings.
