Merlin was no royalist. Useless spongers, the lot of them as far as he was concerned. So he wasn't too pleased when he was forced to spend his summer work placement with the worst sponger and biggest waste of space of them all - Prince Arthur Pendragon.

Art to Illustrate Slanted knitting's 2020 ACBB 'Hope is a thing with Feathers'
11 water colours including title page, headers, dividers and an animation
Merlin lives in a world where magic is outlawed and members of the royal family have wings. The trouble is that he has magic, and he has wings, and he is decidedly not royal. It's a lonely, confusing, unenviable life, but it's his, and he does what he can to manage.Then Prince Arthur, openly gay and proudly displaying his wings, bursts onto the scene at Merlin's work. All Merlin wants are answers about why he has wings when he's not a royal, but he doesn't want to give himself away.
As the prince gets closer and closer to Merlin's truth, Merlin learns about his own family secrets, about Princess Morgana's plot to bring magic back to the kingdom, and about how Prince Arthur's life isn't as perfect as it seems.

Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
11 Jul 2020
Tags
Summary
As a prank, Morgana has put up enchanted mistletoe all over the castle, which traps whoever steps beneath one until they've been kissed by their true love. As such, Arthur has memorised every single location of mistletoe to avoid being trapped and having to confess his inappropriate love for his assistant, Merlin.
And his vigilance pays off; he doesn’t get caught even once.
But Merlin does, which is worse.

Tumbled From My Lips (The Easy Like Sunday Morning Remix) by Lyss2011 for SlantedKnitting
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)

Summary
Arthur had allowed himself to forget that they weren’t actually dating, building the lie around them like the oversized jumpers Merlin always wore, soft and comforting, as they cuddled up on the couch. Luckily, before his mouth could suggest something even more romantic-sounding, like kissing, Mordred texted him about their next date.
Or, Arthur’s (failed) attempt to get over Merlin.

Summary
Merlin wasn’t expecting Mr. Camelot this late in December. The man usually bought his stack of goods once a month, always ordering them in advance and coming to the shop to inspect them before the final purchase. Merlin would look at Mr. Camelot’s handsome strong hands as they assessed each new item he’d ordered, feeling the texture, the weight of it, and deeming it either acceptable or not good enough for whatever sex-play he had in mind.
And Merlin was dying. Combusting. Suffocating.
Written for Merlin Holidays for this prompt:
Arthur is a Dom and Merlin goes to him for some very light experimenting. Arthur ties him down on a bed/table and starts edging him. Merlin realizes he doesn’t like it one-sided so he gets out of his restraints (by magic? or just from wiggling, lol) and gets his hands in Arthur's pants to jerk him off, too. Arthur always tells his clients they can touch him, but no one ever has (because no ever can, tied down like that), and he has a more intense emotional reaction than he anticipated. -

Summary
Merlin sees Arthur at a party for the first time since their break-up two months ago. He has every intention of pretending his heart isn’t broken –- especially since none of their friends even know they were ever together. But when he has to contend with Arthur unexpectedly bringing a date, Gwaine deciding to be his fake boyfriend, and a good deal of sniping, it soon becomes apparent that Merlin’s not as over Arthur as he tries to pretend.

Summary
Morgana wasn't lying when she said Merlin Emrys was well-loved. He's something of a star in the LGBT community, a gay rights activist who answers e-mails personally, who hopes that one day he'll be unemployed because there won't be need for a gay rights activist anymore -- there will just be rights, and he'll be part of the reason it became that way.
Arthur isn't sure he's ready to take the risk of writing an article about Merlin, though. If he does he leaves himself open to questions about why he chose gay rights, accusations that maybe he has a personal interest.
To be honest, he does. But Arthur isn't about to risk his entire career for Merlin, no matter how addicting his smile is or how convincing his words are.
No, really -- he's not doing it.
