Summary
“Come on then, kiss me,” Merlin says, batting his eyelashes exaggeratedly for good measure. “That’s what a good fake boyfriend would do.”
“Maybe I’m a bad fake boyfriend,” Arthur responds archly.
“No, you’re not,” Merlin says, sensibly, “because then what would be the actual point of making up this stupid lie, and telling Gwen?”
Arthur looks up at him, swallows, and Merlin can tell he’s won. “Fine. I’ll kiss you. No promises about how eye-catching it will be.”
Merlin grins. “Believe me, every eye in the room will be on us.”
Arthur frowns. “That sounds ominous.”
“I know,” Merlin says, waggling his eyebrows.
or
Merlin is desperately pining for Gwaine, who does not seem to know or care about Merlin's feelings. Incensed on his best friend's behalf, Arthur offers to pretend to be Merlin's boyfriend for the night. Things unfold exactly as you would expect.

Summary
While hunting for a Griffin terrorizing Camelot, Arthur stumbles upon a beautiful boy injured by the beast in the forest and decides to save him. It is only later that Arthur learns that he is not, as Arthur had believed, a regular boy or a prince, but a rare male dryad named Merlin. As Fate would have it, their paths cross many more times. With each encounter, Arthur's curiosity deepens into something far too warm and tender to acknowledge. Perhaps it is the thrill of meeting a creature of myths with powerful magic, or perhaps it is Merlin's captivating sea blue eyes, but Arthur cannot stay away for long.

Summary
Five years after the battle of Camlann, King Arthur devises a challenge: whoever can enchant him to hand over his mother’s sigil is to become Court Sorcerer of Camelot. To most sorcerers, it is an impossible, undecipherable task.
But to one sorcerer, it is a clear message: come home.
