This fucking took me out
EVERYONE WHO HASN'T YET NEEDS TO GO READ "Where I'm Meant To Be" by WhiteRoseCottage. The premise is perfect and it's so funny and sweet. I love the idea that Merlin didn't spend a thousand years wallowing in grief and that, while Arthur is undoubtedly the love of his life, he had a full and interesting life without him, with friends, jobs, hobbies and even lovers (William Shakespeare and him was the crack ship I didn't know I needed). He's such a brave, loving and resilient person and it seems like a waste to have him go through eternity depressed. Just thinking about the entire century he spent waiting for Arthur near the lake makes me want to fight God.

1. Matters of the Heart by a_written_dream (@a-written-dream)
“You must find the person Arthur truly loves,” the Dragon says, and this time it’s Merlin who wants to laugh.
“Arthur doesn’t love anyone, not since Gwen,” he says, certain of it.
The air rumbles with the Dragon’s laughter. “It seems you do not know your prince quite as well as you thought, young warlock.”

A 2x10 Sweet Dreams rewrite. After the ordeal with Hengist, Gwen and Arthur decide they are better suited as friends. Arthur still gets enchanted to fall in love with Lady Vivian, Merlin still tries to save his royal ass, and True Loves’ Kiss is still the cure. But if Gwen isn’t Arthur’s true love, then who could it possibly be?

hmmm it’s really a mystery who arthur’s OTHER HALF is
2. Your Eyes Glow by Drifting_Stream
Arthur’s been acting strangely ever since he’d learned about Merlin’s magic, which he found completely understandable. But asking Merlin to use magic in front of him, when it so obviously made the king uncomfortable? Obviously, Arthur was disgusted by his magic, by him. That had to be it. Right?
~~~
damn it’s like obliviousness is contagious. first arthur doesn’t notice merlin doing magic right in front of him, and now merlin doesn’t noticed [redacted]
3. Next to You (It’s the Rule) by LunaMyLove
Arthur and Merlin have a special relationship. They always have, even when they were prince and servant. While many question it when first noticing, eventually it becomes an understanding in Camelot—and even among some other countries—that where there is Arthur, there is Merlin. And, where there is Merlin, there is Arthur.
Or
Arthur and Merlin’s relationship as witnessed and explained by others.
Also, or
Five times someone realizes that Merlin is the Queen, one time Merlin realizes it himself, and one time he owns it.
