Summary
When Arthur decides he is ready to try to court the one he wants, Merlin swallows his feelings for his friend and offers to help. Some one-on-one quality time ensues, his feelings grow instead of the opposite, and everything hurts a little more than he had expected (right up until it doesn't anymore).

Summary
Merlin felt strong arms lift him. He wanted to protest, to stay and hear what else Gaius might say, but the knights were already carrying him off the training field, and he sank into oblivion.
~*~
An assassination attempt on Arthur leaves Merlin seriously injured. In fact, he shouldn't survive ... but he does. And that brings a lot of other questions to the fore.

Summary
It wasn’t a secret at all that Arthur could barely manage to keep a servant for more than a week. The man cycled through them like socks, firing them as fast as he hired them.
So when the people of Camelot had heard of the new stranger who sacrificed his life to save Arthur becoming his new servant, sure they thought it was weird, but they knew he’d be gone by the end of the month.
And come the second month where Merlin was still his manservant, of course they began to have questions.
~~~
Or the five times someone noticed there was more to Arthur and Merlin's relationship + the one time Arthur does something about it.
