Summary
Arthur lifted his eyes to the Knight, finally. “Why did you kiss him?”
“I already told you. We spoke.”
“Of whoring?”
“Of choice. And the difference between having one, and having none.”
“And he couldn’t come to me,” Arthur sighed sadly.
“Not with *that* word in his mind, in his ear. Not knowing the fury it could invoke in you. He didn’t want to hurt you.”
“So you kissed him instead, thinking that would hurt less?” Arthur accused harshly.
“No, I kissed him so he’d take me seriously. Words weren’t getting me anywhere. The two of you have been fighting this battle for *years*- so they haven’t gotten *you* anywhere, either. I knew it was time to be done with words. And I didn't overly much care at the time how *you* would feel about it. I cared about what *he* needed.” Gwaine chuckled, shaking his head. “He threw me clear across the Garden.”Series

Summary
The night before Arthur faces his uncle's wraith, Merlin gives him a sword, a favour, and—unexpectedly—his heart. What begins as comfort before battle becomes something neither can deny: a bond that burns gold in their chests and rewrites the prophecy itself.
But Camelot is no place for love that defies a king's law. When the Questing Beast appears in the Forest Sauvage and Morgana's magic begins to wake, Arthur must choose between the prince Uther demands and the king Albion needs. Between fear and wonder. Between destiny and desire.
Merlin and Arthur were once two sides of the same coin. Now they are becoming something far more dangerous: one heart, one destiny, and a love the land itself has begun to answer.
Canon divergence (mostly). Fast spark, slow-burning consequences. Epic scope, intimate moments, awakened magic, and a love that changes everything.

Summary
In a world of marauding kings, the Pendragon empire is one of the strongest. With the use of a rumenthrall named Merlin, they are slowly, but surely, conquering the entirety of Albion.
Arthur Pendragon, heir to the throne, despises the dynasty and society he was born into, one that enslaves those with magical ability and values power over morality. However, despite his best efforts, he is powerless to stop his father, especially when it comes to Merlin.
One day, however, Uther will die and Arthur will be king. And Merlin and Arthur have plans.

Summary
Arthur realized only one thing—Merlin had a secret. And it terrified him like some sort of monster. To set the poor fellow’s mind at ease, Arthur gave his word that he would not use the truth potion to uncover his servant’s secrets.
After all, it was highly unlikely that Merlin was hiding anything of importance, right? It was unbefitting a prince to pry into the petty secrets of servants, right?..
And besides, he hadn't promised not to snoop, right?
And so, he learns one of Merlin’s secrets. Then another. And another. And even more. Arthur will keep searching until he uncovers everything, until he learns what has been hidden from him, until these secrets change him entirely. -

Summary
Артур понял лишь одно - у Мерлина есть тайна. И она пугает его, будто какое-нибудь чудовище. Чтобы успокоить беднягу, Артур даёт слово, что не будет пользоваться зельем правды, чтобы раскрыть секреты своего слуги.
Ведь вряд ли Мерлин скрывает что-то важное, правда? Принцу не подобает интересоваться мелочными секретами слуг, правда?..
И он ведь не обещал не подглядывать, правда?
И вот, он узнает тайну Мерлина. А потом ещё одну. И ещё одну. И даже больше. Артур продолжит искать, пока не раскроет всё, пока не узнает, что было от него скрыто, пока эти тайны не изменят его самого. -

Summary
Four years has Merlin spent in Hogwarts and yet he's no closer to getting answers. Who took his memories? What is his purpose? Where is Arthur? Well, it seems at least one of his questions would get answered but now... Merlin wasn't sure he wanted to know. After all, did he deserve his king?
It's time for the greatest sorcerer to ever walk the earth to pay his penance.

Summary
He lets Merlin sleep, snoring faintly in the fast-fading darkness while Arthur keeps watch over him, thinking about all the things he would give up for Camelot and gladly—except for this.
A companion piece to all our dead, unfinished selves and the body is not an apology, but can be read as a stand-alone.

Summary
When Merlin's magic is exposed shortly before season 2 starts, the path of destiny starts changing forever. Now on the run with Arthur, Morgana, and Gwen. Merlin hopes to convince Arthur that magic is totally good instead of him and Morgana just being an exception. Morgana, meanwhile, hopes to convince him to usurp his father. As allies are gathered and Arthur realizes the injustice in his kingdom, it looks more and more like he will have to act in a drastic way. A way he dreads.
Meanwhile, Arthur and Merlin are growing closer and closer and might just have feelings for each other. Something they probably should be better about realizing, considering the example of Gwen and Morgana right next to them.
In a land of myth and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom now rests on the shoulders of four, their names: Merlin, Arthur, Guinevere, and Morgana

Summary
The letter arrived at midday.
It was not addressed to the king.
Nor to the court.
It found Lancelot.
Merlin saw the shift before he saw the parchment, in the way Lancelot’s posture changed, the stillness that followed as he read.

Summary
A Warlock's Wish by Vividpast AU using obscuruses and obscurials from Fantastic Beasts/Harry Potter.
Merlin has been stuck in this alternate Camelot filled with magic for a few weeks now. It's been chaotic but it seems like he's finally settling in. If only he knew as much about magic as eveyone else did, but what's so bad about 'dark' magic?
5 times Merlin didn't explain himself and 1 time he did. AKA Merlin's universe is built different.
"Merlin?"
"Yes?"
"Are you a necromancer?"

Summary
“Lady Freya,” the creature sneered, somehow both respectful and irate. “You have outlasted your foretold expiration date.”
Arthur felt something drop in his stomach.
He had a sickening idea what the creature was referring to.
Freya’s posture did not change. She did not turn to Arthur, but her shoulder brushed his.
“Yet I am here. Alive.” Her smile was all teeth and no warmth.
“And I want my husband back.”

Summary
“I’ve realized something about Arthur—about your version, that is. What it is that makes him so different.”
“And what is that?” Merlin mumbled. His body was stuffed with cotton, his tongue made of straw. The words tumbled from his mouth like stones.
“He cares for you,” Emrys whispered, “because he can control you. He believes you are simple; insignificant. You’re like a…like a pet.”
“That’s not true.” By the time the words left his mouth, Merlin already didn’t believe them.
—
After stumbling across a strange stone on a hunting trip, Merlin and Arthur find themselves trapped in an inverted Camelot: a world where a Druid named Emrys is the king.
This other Merlin—charismatic, powerful and terrifying—has a strange obsession with Arthur, and Arthur appears to be falling under his spell. But nothing here is as it seems; and if Merlin and Arthur can't be honest with each other, they may never make it home alive.

Summary
King Arthur Pendragon of Camelot and Druid prince Merlin have absolutely nothing in common -- except that duty to their people always comes first.
That's how it begins. It isn't how it ends.
