Summary
Arthur had such a pretty face - it was quite a shame how badly Merlin wanted to punch it.
•
Starting a rivalry with the obnoxious, infuriatingly hot, questionably heterosexual Arthur Pendragon while studying was hardly Merlin's ideal evening plans for the next week or so. Becoming friends wasn't at all his intention. Falling in love was out of the question. Messing around? Well...Merlin was only a man - how could he resist?Series

Summary
After a toxic relationship, Arthur is afraid of getting hurt again, but then he meets Gwen, a scriptwriter he collaborates with in one of his film classes. To win her heart, he plans to cook her the best vegan food she has ever had. The idea would be brilliant, but Arthur is neither vegan, nor can he cook. In a desperate move, he enlists the help of Merlin, the obnoxious barista who works at his favourite coffee shop by day, and is a vegan food vlogger by night.
With his past as a young offender, and a history of addiction, Merlin can’t find a job as a chef, and his dream of opening his own restaurant someday seems unreachable. He pours all his passion into his food videos, but while his recipes and personality have what it takes, his video making skills are subpar at best.
Arthur and Merlin put their animosity aside and strike a deal: Merlin will cook for Gwen, and Arthur will claim he made the food, while in exchange, Arthur will help Merlin make better food videos.
It seems the perfect way to meet everyone's needs …

Summary
'Did it hurt?' Lancelot asked thoughtfully, risking a quick glance in Gwen's direction. For her part, she seemed interested but a little unimpressed, and if she thought anything of her beloved following Gwaine's example and getting a tattoo for himself, she offered nothing but a smile.
'Yeah.' Gwaine's honesty was perhaps the most surprising thing, and he pulled a face. 'Like holding your hand too close to a candle-flame.'
'Really? That's odd; Merlin didn't mention that it hurt when he got his, and it's bigger than that.' Gwen took a sip of her drink, indifferent to the ringing silence that followed her pronouncement. Her brown eyes sparkled with mischief, her cheeks dimpling as she smothered a smile and raised an eyebrow at Gwaine.
Arthur discovers Merlin has a tattoo and is overwhelmingly curious about it.

Summary
It’s not that Arthur doesn’t know what he wants in life, it’s that everything he has ever wanted has always eventually gone cold and left a dull metallic taste in his mouth. Every expensive hobby he’s carelessly slapped onto his dad’s credit card, every subject in school he thought he might eventually major in, every girl he’s ever kissed, all of it. It all inevitably goes flat like the half-drunk bottles of shitty off-brand soda sitting forgotten on the bottom shelf of his fridge.
That is, until he meets Merlin.

Summary
Gwaine’s smile both softened and broadened at the sight before him. He had been on patrol so his partners were already there, lying in the sunlit grass at the centre of the secret glade.
Secret hideouts, revelations, bets, and fluff. A lot of fluff.Series

Summary
And when Merlin turned to Arthur, extended a hand, and introduced himself with an easy, open grin and a mischievous glint still in his eyes, Arthur had known immediately, at that very moment, that he was totally and completely fucked.
Merlin is opinionated as hell, always stealing other people’s food, and an absolute grinch when it comes to Valentine’s Day. Arthur, who’s been secretly pining after him ever since Merlin got hired at The Tavern (the bar his father owns), happens to think the holiday is charming. What happens when they’re both put on decoration duty for Valentine’s Day?
