I read a lot of Merlin fanfiction--these are the ones that for one reason or many have stuck out to me, stuck with me and/or are incredible works of art.

Summary
“Maybe I should go first,” Merlin said. “Just to be safe.”
Arthur looked over the edge of the cliff and took in the sharpened rocks and rolling waves and tried to settle his own turbulent insides.
“Absolutely not,” he said, perhaps too aggressively because Merlin raised an eyebrow at him. “If you go first, you’ll end up somehow destroying all the footholds and then where will we be?”

Summary
Merlin knows that there are a lot of aspects of manly knighthood that he'll probably never understand. For instance, hitting people when they've accomplished something. Maybe this is just a sign of the lack of real male influence in Merlin's childhood, but he'd not entirely sure why men feel the need to bruise one another to show approval. Injury is another. If the injury is any less than I'm-going-to-need-a-week's-bed-rest, it can be walked off (or at least the knight can pretend to walk it off while getting manly medical aid elsewhere).

Summary
Morgana sees the inevitable flame long before anyone else notices a spark.
Her most trusted friend, her brother, has had a long string of lovers for as long as Morgana has known what the furtive glances and blushing cheeks mean. He appreciates dark-haired women and brutish, blond men; he hungers after elegance and the poise that comes with being foreign royalty, and he has never in Morgana’s long-standing residence in Camelot, allowed anyone to tell him what to do.
Bumbling, sharp-tongued, beautiful Merlin, doesn’t fit that pattern
