Fandom/Pairing: Merlin || Arthur/Merlin
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 40,278
Summary: 90s high school AU. Merlin can think of a billion reasons why moving to Camelot-on-Sea in the middle of his A-levels is a terrible idea. He would much rather play his guitar than work in his uncle's chip shop and he has no intention of making friends. Until he joins head boy Arthur Pendragon's wannabe-Britpop band and finds himself falling head over heels for the stuck-up prat.

Summary: The Knights: A Boy Band. (Or, rather, the ten year span of how Arthur Pendragon discovers who he truly is by going from teen idol to solo sensation, maintaining friendships with his Knights and close staff, inheriting a musical empire, and happening to find his #1 fan, best friend, and eventual love along the way.)

Not Ever Win Gets a Medal by xfortytwo
Fandom/Pairing: Merlin || Arthur/Merlin
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 3,103
Summary: It wasn’t that Arthur was obsessed; it was just that he couldn’t stop thinking about the Irish archer with those full, gorgeous lips. He’d nearly spaced out during an early qualifying heat thinking about what he’d like to do to that mouth (and also the rest of him). The opportunity to do anything about it had never presented itself and, shamefully, Arthur was pretty sure he’d sacrifice his medals for it to happen at this point.

Complications (With Spiderman T-Shirts and Optimistic Outcomes) by herbeautifullie
Fandom/Pairing: Merlin || Arthur/Merlin
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 10,676
Summary: Arthur thinks Merlin is an embarrassment to the country (especially in that tattered Spiderman shirt) and is in favour of sending him packing as soon as he meets him. Merlin thinks Arthur is self-entitled and would really rather not be in the same country, much less the room across the hall from him. Somewhere along the way there's a reporter who tells them things they don't want to hear (Merlin - a decent swimmer? Christ. Arthur and Gwaine - leading prospects for gold in beach volleyball? That won't deflate their egos any, will it?), a bit of stalking and a lot of sentences that start with "So..." but maybe (Arthur makes no promises) it'll all work out in the end.

Catch Me A Catch by giselleslash
Fandom/Pairing: Merlin || Arthur/Merlin
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 32,546
Summary: Modern AU, Merlin uses his magic to work as a magical matchmaker. Elena is a customer hoping to snag Arthur Pendragon but things don’t go exactly as planned. Gwaine is there to be Merlin's always helpful, nearly always shirtless, neighbor.

The Dragon's Circle by finem
Fandom/Pairing: Merlin || Arthur/Merlin
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 62,033
Summary: Camelot University is both the safest and most dangerous place for Merlin to hide while he waits for his magic to mature. One term; it's all he has to last, and then he can take his rightful place in the magical community and get to the heart of why magic is fading in the world. One term of laying low, keeping to himself, and getting ready for what is to come. It's a solid plan...until Arthur Pendragon steps into the picture.

Being With You by Anonymous
Fandom/Pairing: Merlin || Arthur/Merlin
Rating: R
Word Count: ???
Summary: Arthur wants Merlin to sex-himself-up a bit just for a day. Merlin always dresses as a nerd and Arthur barely sees his boyfriend in anything that doesn't involve large t-shirts and baggy jeans. Merlin gets angry because he believed his boyfriend wanted him because of you he was inside and not because he had to be a trophy to show off.
But, considering everything Arthur does for him, Merlin one day decides just for one day to show up in class with the tightest pair of jean and shirt, no glasses and hair all spiked up and gelled: a vision. For all the boys attention he gets, Arthur's not so sure he wants Merlin to be that sexy...

Continua by roamer
Fandom/Pairing: Merlin || Arthur/Merlin
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 35,002
Summary: Modern AU with magic. Sex or die curse. They've had this arrangement for years now and it works. For Arthur, it's a duty, one he used to enjoy but doesn't anymore, and for Merlin, it's just something he has to do, like eating reasonably healthy food and getting enough sleep. The sex is part of their routines, a secret neither of them admits to anyone else, especially not to their partners. But maybe there is someone out there who can help them. And maybe, when faced with losing their connection, Merlin and Arthur start to rekindle a latent flame.

Reflash by levianthans_moon
Fandom/Pairing: Merlin || Arthur/Merlin
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 37,839
Summary: The thing with putting out fires in schools was: they often led to biscuits and squiggly paintings of happy firemen. The fire in Albion primary school, however, leads Merlin to Arthur and his daughter Lynn; to more biscuits, but also pancakes; to fun and butterflies; and to a whole new world of letting someone in; ready or not.

This Silly Ol' Dance is Perfect for Two by SlantedKnitting
Fandom/Pairing: Merlin || Arthur/Merlin
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 80,567
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. Modern AU.
