Summary
Objectively, I am aware that you – a stranger – cannot tell me my own sexuality any better than I can, however... Can you, please? Tell me? It’s 4am and I have been thinking about this for hours, and I can’t sleep.
Warmest regards,
ACD***
It’s four in the morning, and Alex Claremont-Diaz has managed to follow a research spiral straight down into a personal crisis. It isn’t the first time.

Always Where I Need To Be by chamel for Celaestis

Summary
Alex doesn’t even know how he does it most of the time. He’ll take his glasses off for five minutes while he’s working to rest his eyes, and somehow David will snag them off the coffee table and run off with them. He doesn’t chew them, thank god, but the slobber is bad enough. Plus, there’s the fact that Alex has to go on a search to find whatever random place he’s managed to hide them.
Except… the places the glasses end up don’t seem to be exactly random.
(Alex's new roommate has a puppy with a penchant for theft—and, seemingly, strong opinions on where Alex needs to be.)

Summary
He marches into the bathroom and turns on the tap and … nothing. Not a drip of water comes out.
Alex feels his left eye start twitching.
He turns the tap off and then on again. This time, while there’s still no water, there is a truly terrifying clanging sound, followed by a groaning sound, followed by something that can probably only be made with a special effects keyboard and some tortoises or something.
So, yeah, he turns the tap off.

Summary
Alex chuckles again, “Hen?”
“Yes, love,” Henry answers sweetly.
“Shut up.”
Henry laughs but shuts up anyway, closing his eyes and enjoying the familiar smell of Alex, the familiar feeling of his body against his, the familiar feeling of having him in his arms. It feels like a fucking bliss.
A "Reunited and it feels so good" moment plus glasses.

Summary
"There’s only a few of them around the office today. Most people have already gone home, taken the week off to celebrate Christmas with family and friends. Arthur will have leave soon, too. It’s a long drive to Camelot Manor, and the roads will be packed with other people desperate to go home.
Not that Arthur is desperate. He isn’t even sure he’s really going home."
*
Arthur is driving home for Christmas for a dinner with his father. After last year's debacle following his coming out, he'd really rather spend his Christmas Eve somwhere else. Or rather, with someone else.Bookmarked by ewdavids

You Hear Him Howling Around Your Kitchen Door by thenerdyindividual
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
24 Oct 2022
Tags
Summary
Merlin thought a type-a student trying to break into his office to replace a section of an essay would be the strangest thing to happen to him, but then a man shows up on his doorstep naked and seemingly drunk. Giving that man a helping hand opens up the door to a strange hidden part of society in London. There is a group of lads who all live together and take way too much enjoyment in playing football together, but there is something more to them than meets the eye. Merlin just hopes it won't affect his growing relationship with their unofficial ringleader Arthur Pendragon.

Summary
He could hear some cursing on the other side, but Arthur grunted out, “Yeah. Just tripped over my sheets.”
“Just woke up?” It was almost two, but he had learned last semester when they had a late morning class together that Arthur would stay in bed as long as humanly possible.
Arthur scoffed, “No, just got back from the gym. I was about to take a shower.”
Merlin closed his eyes and desperately tried to push that image, the image of a very sweaty and naked Arthur, out of his mind. “Er, should I call back later?”

A [Not So] Quiet Night by TheCourtSorcerer for AeonTheDimensionalGirl
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
25 Apr 2021
Tags
Summary
There had been a shift in the air that morning, a tug on his magic, almost a—a call… It was strange, and it made him wonder if maybe… Maybe it was time. Nothing had happened, though, and while he still retained hope, he found it dwindling. Perhaps he had been wrong, perhaps he’d not felt a shift. Maybe it was just his wish to see him again, that made it seem as if it were finally time.
Merlin worried his bottom lip between his teeth and looked over to the clock on the wall. 01:23 A.M.

Summary
During a drunken game of Truth or Dare, Merlin tells the story of his first kiss, with a boy named Arthur he lost contact with. Well, it just so happens that Gwaine knows an Arthur, and it being 2AM on a weekday is not going to deter him from seeing if it's the same one. For Merlin's sake, of course.

Summary
Arthur knew it was Merlin’s dream to be an astronaut, and every single day was a dream come true, but sometimes it was still hard for Arthur to grasp. Why did he need to do this? Of all the dreams to have, that idiot just had to pick one of the most dangerous in the world? Scratch that. In the solar system. He may look like a lanky geek of a scientist but that man had a daredevil streak in him the size of Jupiter.

Summary
When Inspector Arthur Pendragon went into work that morning he didn’t expect to get on the bad side of an attractive paramedic whose dessert-related insults were surprisingly scathing. Then the same man turned up at the police station, with a clever glint in his eye and his daughter in his arms.
When Merlin Emrys became a single father he made one simple rule: he wouldn’t date until Aithusa was old enough to understand. Merlin had always had his hands full with his daughter and never had a problem with this rule until Arthur stepped into his life. Then everyone he knew started conspiring against him.- Language:

Summary
“Arthur, you have like five fan clubs. You were named sexiest man alive two years in a row. You are an action film star, who also does romcoms. You were John Constantine in that Justice League film, a part if you remember, that was supposed to be a minor role but you were so brilliant, they made a spin-off movie about you! You’re one of the hottest names in the industry, of course, they are going to make a big deal about this.”
“So, you think I’m hot?” Arthur teased with a smirk.
Merlin groaned and pushed him away. “You are literally the worst.”

Bite Your Tongue On Purpose by Woodsarelovely

Summary
“Hey, man. Can I get a black coffee to go?”
“Er…” he says – a faintly bewildered expression on his face. “Yes, I imagine so.”
Turns out the guy is also British, which is like, whatever. Alex gives him one of his best smiles. “Great, thanks.”
Hot Barista glances vaguely around himself, then back to Alex. He looks simultaneously surprised and uncertain, like some kind of aggressively handsome time-traveller who’s been unexpectedly yeeted into a different century. After a beat, he says – “From me?”
“Uh yeah. You’re working here, right?”
“Well... yes?”
Alex tries very hard not to sigh.
Great. Looks like he’s dealing with one of those people who are so attractive, they’ve never had the need to develop any kind of personality beyond that of a Tupperware container of room-temperature potato salad.
Alex absolutely does not have time for whatever this shit is.***
Five times Henry serves Alex coffee and one time Alex serves Henry.
Strap in, folks. It's a coffee shop AU ...Kind of.

Summary
“I’ll be over here, still quarantined in the White House, rooting for you.”
Alex roomed with Henry for his fall semester of junior year at UT Austin during the Brit’s session abroad before his final semester at the University of Oxford. They grew close over the four months and were disappointed when winter break arrived, signaling the end of their fun. Neither of them were willing to give up their friendship, however, so they made plans for Alex to come spend six weeks in London after Henry’s graduation in May.
But then, March 2020.

you turned a moment (into forever) by viciouslyqueer for coffeecatsme

Summary
Sharing an apartment with Alex had seemed like a good idea at first. They’re best friends, prices in Brooklyn are absurd, and they had both been in urgent need of residence – it only made sense.
Except for the small, tiny, teeny, barely there fact that Henry has been in love with Alex from the first moment he laid eyes on him. And the fact that Alex doesn’t know, and can never find out.
—
Or, as coffeecatsme so eloquently put it: Roommates AU where Alex has insomnia and slips into Henry’s bed every night because it’s the only way he gets a good night’s sleep.
