lol ur not arthur pendragon by amaltaas
T | 11,818 | Modern AU | Summary: Sunlight hits just right on the golden bangs falling into blue eyes. His lips have that smug quirk Merlin so hates. In a low voice, he asks, “Does that mean you’ll date exclusively me?”
That snaps Merlin right out of it. “What?”
Arthur nods to his shirt, making him look down.
And printed there, in big, black letters is, ‘lol ur not arthur pendragon’.
“Oh my god.” Merlin stares at the text in horror. This is a nightmare, a disaster, a fucking catastrophe. Absolute worst thing to happen to him in his entire life. Pendragon must think Merlin is some obsessed megafan, interested in him.
Side note: Gwaine Orkney is a dead, dead man.
Tied with a Bow by FreyaofAvalon
T | 11,777 | Canon AU | Summary: On the twenty-first birthday of the younger, every pair of soulmates will wake up with a red ribbon tying them to each other, regardless of distance. Soulmate Ribbons change length as necessary, and are impervious to time and mortal weapons. They can be seen by everyone, but are only felt by the wearers.
On the morning of his twenty-first birthday, Merlin wakes up to find a red bow tied neatly around his wrist, and his day goes downhill from there.

T | 7,881 | Modern AU | Summary: Arthur has a gaming channel. Merlin has a gardening channel. The only thing they have in common, it seems, is the fact they're both successful YouTubers, and that their followers want them to do a collab in spite of how different their content is.
Or: In which Arthur and Merlin flirt (despite Merlin’s mysterious fiancée), Morgana dishes out the hottest gossip, Gwaine keeps trying to fight the entire internet, and their fans are maybe just a little too overbearing.
