I have to thank
tightshorts
she made some awesome fanart for this fic and I can't stop gushing over them!
Here you go: Merlin/Morgana/Arthur and Gwen/Merlin.
Aren't they absolutely cute?
Title: 83. More Shocking Discoveries (The Boy Next Door Series)
Pairing/Characters: Merlin/Arthur
Genre: Humor/General/Romance/GenderBender
Summary: Her eyes could not be mistaken. Neither could that sudden stirring in her magic, but she needs to see him again to be sure. Merlin had only caught a glimpse of him.
Warning: Girl! Merlin; possibly out of character, but hopefully, only slightly.
Spoiler: none
Disclaimer: Sadly, they are not mine.
Notes: English is not my first language and I have no beta, so forgive any mistakes.

83. More Shocking Discoveries
Things are not exactly perfect with Will, but they try to make it work, mostly pretending that they hadn’t spent long weeks without talking.
They are walking, chatting and bickering, towards the cinema when Merlin freezes, stopping half-sentence, eyes wide in shock.
“What?” Will asks worried, following her gaze and seeing a brunette man entering a record store. He doesn’t recognize him. “Merlin?”
She isn’t listening, just runs over, barely avoiding getting hit by a car, and enters the story after him.
Her eyes could not be mistaken. Neither could that sudden stirring in her magic, but she needs to see him again to be sure. Merlin had only caught a glimpse of him.
Merlin searches for the dark head over the corridors of shelves. If it was any other situation, she would take a second to browse through the records and CDs, but now she has a much more urgent mission.
She finally finds him at the back and stalks over, stilling a few steps away from him, gaping shameless. It *was* him. Lancelot.
As if feeling he was being watched, Lance turns and meets Merlin’s eyes. His eyes widen comically, mouth falls open in shock.
“Merlin.” he whispers and that’s what shocks Merlin the most.
“You remember?” She asks stunned and Lancelot nods.
“Yes.” He takes a step forwards, looking her up and down. “You really are a girl. When Arthur said…”
“Wait! You know Arthur?” Lance nods again.
“Yes, he came in the story the other day and we chat for a while. He doesn’t remember though. Had to pretend I didn’t know him.”
“This is just…” Merlin trails off not knowing exactly what *this* was. “How can you remember? The dragon said only those with magic remembers.”
“What dragon?” Lancelot asks confused
“He’s not a dragon anymore, but he was one, back at Camelot.” She says impatient. “Anyway, he said…”
She doesn’t have the chance to finish, because Will busts in the store, calling her name.
“Look, I got to go, but we need to sit down and talk. Soon.” Lancelot nods understanding.
“I work here everyday until 7 p.m. Come around after that time and we can talk.”
“Alright.” Merlin nods again and turns around, meeting Will. “Hey. Sorry to run off like that. Couldn’t help it. Record Store.” She smiles sheepishly.
“Next time, give me some warning, will you?” He says annoyed, apparently going with Merlin’s lie, but he keeps sending Lancelot suspicious glances, so she knows she’s not off the hook.
“Let’s get going or we’ll miss our movie.” Merlin says, pushing Will towards the door. “Thanks for your help.” She calls over her shoulder, not risking another glance at Lancelot.
