Summary
A modern magical comedy very loosely based on Ugly Betty. Publishing king Uther Pendragon has had enough of his playboy son seducing every female assistant he has ever had so he hires Merlin, a man he is sure Arthur will never sleep with. Merlin would be more insulted by this fact if he wasn’t so busy trying to juggle his duties, save Arthur's skin from ruthless fashionistas and keep his magic a secret at the same time. Expect appearances by oil-lathered knights, the occasional mad druid, a perverted Will and a mental caretaker who lives in the basement and keeps harping on about coins and destiny.

Summary
“Three more weeks, you should be fine,” Gwen told him, looking all regal and stunning with her Queen’s crown and Arthur’s
stolenborrowed sceptre. Merlin did up the final lace at her back and stared at her miserably in the mirror.“Do let me know if you want to take over nappy-changing duties, then.”
-In which Arthur is cursed to live as a two-year-old brat and somehow retains both his über-prattishness as well as his penchant for running around after Merlin.

Summary
When Gwaine finds himself in a bind and can’t attend his latest gig as a pretend rental boyfriend, he begs Merlin to cover for him. A certain blond is worried about how his father would react to him bringing a boyfriend home for Christmas but doesn’t want to subject a real boyfriend to the potential backlash. With the amount of money being offered, and Merlin’s conscience reminding him that this is the first time the reason for a rental boyfriend makes perfect sense, Merlin can’t bring himself to let Gwaine - or the client - down.

Summary
“Where did you learn to do that?” Gwaine asked, following Merlin up the bank.
“This is how normal people fish,” Merlin replied dryly. “Not trying to stab them with swords.”“This is a knife,” Gwaine retorted, sounding every bit as sulky as he felt.
“Still, you didn’t catch a fish.”
------------------------------------------------------Gwaine saves a young Merlin from a beating and ends up with a new little brother to take care of on his travels.
Or, what would Merlin be like if he had Gwaine influencing him over his formative years?
