♥ Natural Selection by minor_hue
In which Arthur goes on blind dates, Merlin is his waiter, and everyone takes a ride on the crazy train.
Merlin/Arthur; NC-17; 11,300 words
♥ Timshel by ems
Merlin is definitely supposed to work for Arthur, but spends most of his time mocking Arthur's dress sense, berating him via IM with Morgana, sending Gwen capslock-filled emails about him and, most of all, trying not to fall in love with the shiny-shoed ponce. Arthur, meanwhile, is definitely supposed to be taking over his father's company some day, but instead spends most of his time scowling at Merlin, making lists about him, trying to find excuses to fire him and, most of all, trying to pretend he is totally not head-over-heels for the jumped up little upstart. Someone's got to make some difficult choices eventually, and this can only lead to one thing: angst. Or hilarity. Or, embarrassingly enough, self-discovery.
Merlin/Arthur; PG-13; 34,435 words
♥ Remake the Current Stream by hulubululu
In Albion Zoo, keepers and students don’t mix and head of the mammal department, Arthur Pendragon, is happy to keep it that way. But when one research student by the name of Merlin Emrys arrives and shows no regard for Arthur’s unwritten rules of socialising, Arthur’s life is turned upside down, and he’s forced to take his view of life up to reconsideration.
In which there is sibling snark, matchmaking otters, neighbours who are a bit too preoccupied with the idea of destiny, possessive best friends, drunken nights out and proof that maybe some things are indeed meant to be. Basically it’s a rom-com, with animals. But not like that.
Merlin/Arthur; PG-13; 44,200 words
♥ I Keep Going Over the World We Knew (Over and Over) by mellacita
When Merlin Emrys is sent on a 'round-the-world assignment, he begins remembering a life of magic, dragons, and kings. To make matters worse, a strange woman starts stalking him along the way. And that's before he even meets Arthur Pendragon, whose answer to climate change is going to save the world. Because apparently just saving Britain won’t be enough this time around.
Merlin/Arthur; R; 54,000 words
♥ Pendragons Are NOT The Only Fruit (Except When They Are) by nahara
Merlin was adopted as a baby - he's always known that - but when he turned twenty he found he had a half-sister: the feisty and sort of scary Morgana. Merlin moved to sleepy Camelot to be closer to her, settling into life as a mild-mannered greengrocer, catering to his passion for in-season fruits and vegetables. To make things even better, Morgana’s adoptive brother is coming back from America and Merlin will get a brother too! Life is pretty peachy. But… Arthur Pendragon is not at all what Merlin had expected. He’s arrogant, funny, beautiful - he completely flummoxes Merlin at every turn. But really, Merlin doesn’t think his new sort of maybe not brother person is hot. That would we weird, right?
Taking place over an entire year, there are fruit smoothies, a green Morris Minor van named Karl, musical theatre sing-a-longs, water balloons, mutant strawberries, an ex-boyfriend and Arthur's latest booty-call. Merlin thinks he needs to lie down.

♥ The House On Castleview Road by troygirl68
Arthur is a handsome and eligible bachelor with a well paid job in the City and a luxury penthouse flat in Canary Wharf. His life is the stuff of dreams ... Just not his. After his sister gets a lodger it seems that Arthur's life has taken an even bigger turn for the worse. Until, of course, he falls in love. Unfortunately, the path to true love is never smooth, and sometimes requires reckless driving, illegal parking and chasing after trains.

♥ Crash Into Me by dreamdustmama
At the end of their first year of university Arthur decides to take Merlin on a road trip, and holds on to the hope that before it's over they'll be more than just friends. Morgana decides she and Gwen are going to come along, and Merlin and Gwen decide they're both insane. Along the (admittedly short) road to true love there are roller coasters, flat tires, chocolate, sheep, pillow fights, food fights, keychains, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Merlin/Arthur; NC-17; 15,300 words
♥ Communications In Binary by justthismorning
University AU. Merlin came whirling into Arthur's life and left everything in shambles on the floor - literally. They couldn't be less alike - Merlin with his computers and his easy, goofy grin, Arthur with his breeding and his need for everything to be in it's place. They have nothing in common besides a key to the same room, but as the academic year progresses and Arthur finds himself wearing tiaras and critiquing Westlife and having picnics on his living room floor, Arthur comes to learn things about himself he didn't even know he didn't know.

Merlin/Arthur; R; 63,000 words
♥ Accidental Memory in the Case of Death by derryere
Tony O does not befriend losers. Tony O is not gay, not crazy, he is not particularly nice and he is most definitely not royalty. Destiny disagrees.
Arthur/Merlin; NC-17; 75,500 words
♥ Easy There by syllic
Arthur is an Oxford Blue. Merlin is an Oxford cox. Lancelot is Merlin's romantic-dalliance-loving friend. Morgana is horribly clever; Gwen is cleverly waiting for Lancelot to grow up. Merlin and Arthur rub each other the wrong way, at first, but it soon becomes clear that Arthur is a university-class rower with a world-class heart (yes, I typed that). Clichés ensue.
Arthur/Merlin; NC-17; 49,500 words

♥ Two Weeks Notice by ras_elased (ras_fic)
Arthur is a prattish Executive VP of the Pendragon Corporation with a disturbingly non-ironic love of Demotivational posters. Merlin is a tree-hugging barista with a "magic" tongue. Morgana's a peeping Tom and her breasts have superpowers. Gwen and Lancelot get married. Owain is the company bicycle. Arthur attempts to steal Merlin's affections from Will through epic DDR combat. Merlin gets drunk a lot. There is a pillow fight, and a helicopter ride, and rooftop confessions, and Arthur decides Merlin really is his destiny, whether he likes it or not.

♥ Postremus Regum Britanniae by mariana_oconnor
As Newton's Third Law of Motion states: 'For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction'. For years the world of 'reality' has pushed away the ideas and creatures of magic, forcing them back. Now magic has returned bringing with it chaos and nightmares and the only person who can reunite the worlds of reality and the supernatural is the Once and Future King. However, Destiny has lost its way and a small group of complete strangers (or so they think), guided by a mad woman, are left to search for the only weapon that might save them. But without their memories to help them they're off the beaten track. Here there be dragons.

But the soul-bond has some unexpected consequences, and when Uther demands that Arthur unbind his soul so he can carry on with the execution, the two set out on a journey to find answers. Along the way they deal with the ramifications of Merlin's deception, discover some truths about their growing feelings for one another, and are forced to make some huge decisions that could have an impact on their lives forever.

Arthur convinces his father to let him lead the small troop of knights responsible for hunting down and killing Merlin. Torn between his duty to Camelot and his feelings for Merlin, Arthur must somehow draw Merlin back from the wild magic.

Fate is a fickle mistress - or rather, the Fates are. When the Wyrd Sisters offer Nimueh a second chance to fulfill her destiny, she takes the opportunity to seek revenge on Merlin. When Uther enters the equation, Nimueh's victory seems certain. Loyalties and allegiances are tested, making Merlin question the lengths that Arthur will go to in order to protect him. Through daring escapes, attempted coups, and fierce battles, Merlin and Arthur discover that the twisting threads of fate are not easily understood, and that the webs they spin cannot be readily escaped.
Arthur/Merlin; NC-17; 63,000 words
♥ Until the Pieces Fit by Anon
It’s an accident, really, Merlin shoving his nose in where it’s not supposed to be, instead of attending at the feast, but once he’s there it’s too late to close his eyes; too late not to see Arthur pushing Lord Glaswick’s son into a wall, hips moving roughly, gasping, and it’s, it’s, dirty and filthy and animalistic. Not befitting a prince.
Arthur/Merlin; NC-17; 13,990 words
♥ All the Laughter From Before by waldorph

Arthur/Merlin; R; 5,651 words
♥ A Chuisle by exlibris_tenisu (Link goes to author's story tag. Scroll down for Chapter 1.)
Merlin’s eyes were so wide he felt like they might burst from his head; he could hear his heart in his ears, beating a frantic rhythm against his ribcage, and a low, keening whine escaped his throat.

"He said you're to get changed into formal clothes and meet him in the Great Hall, there's a delegation coming from the Summer Court."
Arthur/Merlin; NC-17; 24,773 words
♥ Post hoc, ergo propter hoc (‘After this, therefore because of this.’) by hitome_bore
History books would not remember Gaius’ death precipitating the greatest war Albion had ever seen. That blame lay entirely with an inexperienced sorcerer and the Prince whom he’d betrayed a hundred times over. Future!fic with a time travel twist. Inspired and loosely based on The Sword in the Stone.

Bradley isn't at all sure of Colin at first so he hatches what he thinks is a brilliant plan to study him.
