Summary
When a noble visits Camelot with her servant-turned-lover, Merlin thinks he and Arthur may actually have a chance. But when Arthur uses the visit as inspiration to instead court Gwen, Merlin develops a tickle in his throat. Then a cough. Then flower petals.
Beltane is a time for celebrating new life and new births, but Merlin will be lucky to survive until the festival, since the only cure for Hanahaki is to have one’s love returned…and Arthur doesn’t love him.

Summary
"“Emrys,” said Gaius, raising the Eyebrow of Disappointment and flicking his gaze to where Merlin stood behind Arthur’s chair. “That is who you wish to have as your court sorcerer.”
Arthur nodded gravely, every eye in the council meeting upon him. “Camelot is dangerously close to division even now that sorcery is legal. We need someone who will unite us all, and I cannot settle for less. I’ll send riders out at first light chasing rumours and follow up any promising leads we have myself.”
He looked so beautiful when he said it, every inch the king, with the sunlight through the windows turning him gold. His voice had taken on that richness that sometimes infused Arthur’s words – that for the good of the kingdom voice, that let it be so voice, the voice that Merlin had come to understand meant another brick laid on the road to Albion.
Unfortunately, that voice had been co-opted for a fucking farce."
Or - In which magic is legal and Merlin is still lying for reasons that are absolutely, totally 100% valid and have nothing to do with his love for Arthur

Summary
"There’s only a few of them around the office today. Most people have already gone home, taken the week off to celebrate Christmas with family and friends. Arthur will have leave soon, too. It’s a long drive to Camelot Manor, and the roads will be packed with other people desperate to go home.
Not that Arthur is desperate. He isn’t even sure he’s really going home."
*
Arthur is driving home for Christmas for a dinner with his father. After last year's debacle following his coming out, he'd really rather spend his Christmas Eve somwhere else. Or rather, with someone else.Bookmarked by glockmonkey

Summary
Emrys and the King have been sworn rivals for as long as they can remember. The King wants to maintain peace, and loathes that Emrys refuses to stay inside the law. Emrys wants to help his community by whatever means possible, even if that means burning down every law and building that stands in his way. They've never seen eye to eye, and never will.
What a shame that behind the masks they're Merlin and Arthur, who live under the same roof, and sleep in the same bed, and have no idea the person they've thrown off buildings and the person they promised to never harm in their wedding vows are one and the same.

Summary
"Gaius sighed, 'That’s the problem, my boy. It’s so rare that it hasn’t been seen in over a generation. The only account I could find was limited. The patient had fallen in love with a married man who did not love her, and she had started to develop a cough that had produced flowers rather than mucus. A post-mortem examination found that a flower had magically planted itself in the woman’s lungs and had wrapped around her heart.'"
In which Merlin develops Hanahaki disease, but mysteriously does not die from it.

10 Reasons Not to Fight a D̶r̶a̶g̶o̶n̶ Bird (a Guide by Arthur Pendragon) by CaffeinatedFlumadiddle

Summary
“Merlin…” Arthur said as he slowly started to reach for his sword. “Don’t…Move…”
“No, no, no! Arthur, it’s alright!” Merlin said as he moved (because obviously he ignored Arthur’s orders and moved) in front of the desk. “She’s just saying hello!”
“That’s a dragon.” Arthur informed him. Merlin looked over his shoulder for a moment.
“No, it isn’t.”
There was a pause.
“Yes, it is.”
“No.” Merlin shook his head. “It…Uh, is not…A dragon.”
“Then what the Hell is it?!” Arthur asked, not letting his eyes drift away from the fire breathing demon. Yeah. That was definitely a dragon. Merlin clicked his tongue before also staring behind him.
“It is…A…Bird…”
There was another pause.
“You’re really sticking with that?”
“I am, thank you.”
Or
Merlin has to convince the King of Camelot that he is not, in fact, in possession of a dragon. Luckily, the rest of the kingdom has already been won over by the baby dragon and is quite willing to aid in this quest.
