Summary
Prince Arthur of Camelot can’t stand Lord Emrys. The sorcerer is simply too handsome and Arthur doesn’t know if he wants to give him a kiss with his fist or his lips. Featuring: Queen Morgana and her wife, Gwen, modern magic, coziness, danger, Arthur taking care of Merlin (cos it’s important to the queendom, dammit, and not because he likes him!) and one explicit painting.
More serious summary: Prince Arthur visits Merlin at a castle for the winter solstice, but what was supposed to be a celebration turns into something deadly. The prince must save Merlin from a terrible poison and defeat a wicked sorceress.

Summary
If Arthur had known his lawyer was going to be this handsome, he would’ve filed for divorce a lot sooner. Unfortunately for Arthur, Merlin has committed himself to a life of singledom, crankiness, and morals. Slowly, Arthur’s charming qualities heal something inside Merlin that he didn’t break.
Part I: Arthur's POV
Part II: Merlin's POVExcerpt (paraphrased):
“Are you gay?” Arthur asked his lawyer.
"Excuse me?"
“Are you part of the LGBTQA+ community?” Arthur asked, rephrasing.
“That’s irrelevant to this case.”
Arthur leaned towards the desk slightly. “But relevant to my interests.”

Summary

Summary
The "I hate you with all my heart, but why can't I stop loving you" trope. Second chance romance. Forced proximity.
Excerpt: “He remembered them studying in Merlin’s room, remembered looking at Arthur and aching with the beauty of him. He was sunshine and Merlin was midnight rain.”
Summary: Arthur and Merlin had been inseparable for as long as anyone could remember... until they weren't. None of their friends could figure out what happened. Only Arthur and Merlin knew the truth and they remained stubbornly tight lipped about it. Now the two former friends are forced into close proximity with one another. Years have passed, but have their feelings for one another changed since then?
Inspired by Taylor Swift's song "This Love."
The entire story has been written, but will be uploaded sporadically in 4 chapters because it's just easier for me to edit that way. It's nearly 20k words. There will be a 5th bonus chapter that takes place before the main story. TW: There is a scene where someone has a severe allergic reaction and goes to a hospital.

Summary
Merlin loves Arthur. Arthur loves Merlin. Gwen loves Lance. Lance loves Gwen. Gwaine loves Merlin. This wouldn't be that big of a problem except Arthur and Gwen are married. It's messy.
After Arthur marries Gwen, Merlin confesses the long unrequited love he has for Arthur. Your best mate’s wedding was as good a time as any for a love confession, right? Turns out it isn't so unrequited after all. This sets off a chain of misery over the coming months as Arthur and Merlin try to avoid temptation and hurting the people they love.
TW: Cheating. For what it's worth, Merlin and Arthur's cheating is emotional, not physical. Other characters cheat physically and emotionally.

Summary
A man stepped out of the car with a cane and stood there in the sun like something divine. He was young and handsome, his golden blond hair shining and his white suit nearly blinding. His gaze swept over the line of servants, but he didn’t seem to really notice them. He looked out over the grounds for a moment, and even at a distance Merlin could see his sadness.
---
Camelot Manor has been without a lord for over three years. Merlin is hired in late spring of 1919 to assist the head gardener prepare for the earl’s return from fighting in the war. He is happy to spend his days amongst plants and flowers, working with his hands and bringing more beauty into the world. When the earl arrives, Merlin is unexpectedly drawn to him, and the feeling seems to be mutual.
