    Summary

    “Gaius — I mean, someone — advised that it might make things worse,” Merlin told him. He looked immediately regretful, as if he wanted to bury himself into the ground right there, in the watermelon patch.

    Arthur nodded thoughtfully. If Merlin didn’t want him to know something, it was probably important.

    “Gaius, huh,” he mused. “I don’t know a Gaius.” But even as he said it there was something buried way down below, prickling at his memory.

    In which Arthur falls asleep, falls ill, and farms, and Merlin brings him home.

    Summary

    Arthur had never particularly minded masquerade balls in principle, because there was a certain uncomplicated pleasure in watching a room full of powerful people pretend, for one evening, that they were not quite as important as they actually were, though he suspected he was meant to find all of it tedious rather than strangely liberating, which perhaps said more about his current state of mind than he was willing to examine too closely.

    Or:
    A masquerade ball, one persistent noble, and Arthur discovering that jealousy is a lot harder to ignore than he thought. The masquerade masks weren't the only things coming off tonight.

    Masquerade ball! Merthur

    Very oblivious and jealous Arthur not wanting Merlin to be swept onto the ball floor because he is in love with him (and he doesn’t know it lol)

    Summary

    Arthur has always known who he is.

    He is the crown prince of Camelot. He will one day be king. He likes women. These are facts as certain and unquestioned as the rising of the sun.

    Then one afternoon, Arthur looks at Merlin and thinks he's beautiful.

    Terrified of what it means and convinced he will destroy the most important relationship in his life, Arthur struggles to bury feelings that only grow stronger with time. But Merlin has always known Arthur better than anyone—and when the truth finally comes out, Arthur discovers he may not be the only one who has been keeping secrets.

    Summary

    “It’s all talk, Merlin, and that’s all it can ever be.” He breathed out, suddenly losing the fire that had just been blazing in him.

    Merlin took another step toward him. “When you’re King, you can change that.”

    ***

    Took a stab at rewriting bits of series 2 episode 4 "Lancelot and Guinevere" to make it a merthur love confession.
    Enjoy!
