What if, if you can t change what is happening? And what if, if Arthur finds something out he shouldn t find out ?

After King Uther battles the Black Knight, and his and Merlin's talk about Merlin and Arthur's relationship, he wishes to show his support of the 'very special bond' they share. Basically, Uther ships it. And apparently, everyone else in Camelot does too! Merthur, Pretty much that's it.

A series of one-shots in which Merlin suffers from asthma and Arthur is very concerned and doesn't hide it well at all.

Two prophecies speak of the coming of Emrys. One says he will be the king's protector, his greatest friend and ally. The other says he will abandon Arthur in his hour of need. Now Merlin and Arthur both have to come to terms with who – and what – Merlin truly is, and what it means to be two sides of the same coin.

When Uther is badly hurt, Arthur has to make an important decision on whether to save his father or take the crown so Uther can live in peace.

Arthur wonders if the visions Morgause showed him were lies, after all — or the first of many truths.

Arthur orders the execution of a murderer…who also happens to be a sorcerer. Merlin struggles with it. Arthur struggles more. One-shot, post-reveal. Sequel to To Kill a Nightmare, but can be read alone.

Merlin's head tilted up, his eyes meeting Arthur's once more and he felt his body go cold. There was only one word on Arthur's lips. One word, over and over. And he finally understood what he was saying. Merlin. He was saying his name, but he couldn't hear him. He couldn't hear anything at all.

A newly healed and freshly motivated Arthur isn't the only one facing an overhauled view of the world around him. Camelot, the other kingdoms, and let's not forget Merlin, will all have their own adjustments to endure. How will these challenges help them grow? Please enjoy this post season 5, everyone slowly but surely gets their stuff together, tale of friendship and destiny.

With the help of a potion, Morgana enchants Arthur to make him kill his heart's desire. NO MAIN CHARACTER DEATH

All he could think of was the pain, and the nagging feeling this was somehow the fault of a certain clot pole in the room next door. Not really of course. The blame lay entirely in the hands that were holding the dagger in his back... Gen.

Three years have passed since Merlin's partial reveal of his magic. On the eve of their assault on Heilos and Morgana's forces, Emrys must finally reveal himself in full. Quite without his knowing, it alters the entire course of Camelot's future—as well as his own, with the Once and Future King…EDIT: PART 3 OF "KING'S GRACE" IS NOW UP! (Bromance or Romance. Ambiguous Relationship.)

Will Arthur ever be able to forgive Merlin for the lies he told? With a creature of dark magic threatening Camelot, does he even have a choice? Reveal. No slash.

What if Arthur had figured out Merlin has magic earlier? What if doubts and suspicions rose? What if the prince became more and more distant, while Merlin tried to understand whatever it was bothering Arthur? With suspicion, the friendship that was strong could crumble easily, and without a friend there to help, trouble can increase. A lot.

Ten years into Camelot's golden age, Morgana casts a spell of exchange to send Merlin into the past - and bring his younger self forward. Inexperienced and untrained, and surely much easier to kill... In the past, Merlin must somehow connect with a young king who still hates an illegal magic, to duplicate the spell and return both his selves to the proper times...

Merlin takes Arthur home to Ealdor to help with the lambs, grass stains notwithstanding.

Merlin is sent away when his magic is revealed to Arthur. Despite being far from Camelot, he must again save the day when a plot to kill the king comes around. Meanwhile, in the castle, Arthur is wondering how he will ever get over Merlin's magic, until, that is, he finds his manservant's secret diary... set between S4&5. Reveal!fic. Friday updates.

Modern!AU. Morgana finds that her dreams show her a mysterious man with black hair and one she can never see clearly. After saving a cat and being rescued herself, she meets a strange man, Merlin. There's something more than he's letting on and maybe it's connected to her dreams.

Reincarnation AU. Merlin, after years alone, finally has his friends back, in reincarnated form. However, his friends aren't the only ones who returned. A former enemy is back and is more bloodthirsty than ever. (Morgana and Mordred Redemption. Rated T for violence and very minor swearing. Cross-Posted on A03 and Wattpad)

Agravaine sees an opportunity to get rid of Merlin. Based on hiddlydiddly93's "Seeing Ghosts" and written with permission (go check it out). From Arthur's POV. Kind of magic!reveal.

Modern Mergana AU: Merlin is the new admin assistant in the corporate office of Pendragon Enterprises, Morgana is a junior exec in marketing, and Arthur...well, Arthur's just technologically inept. Merlin and Morgana bond over making fun of Arthur, but soon it becomes something more than that...

Merlin has the flu. Arthur notices it and sends him back to his chambers to rest, but an important event forces Merlin to heal himself to be able to attend the event by Arthur's side. The healing didn't go quite right though... Something is suddenly wrong with Merlin's magic. Read on as chaos ensues. Will be updated regularly

Sequel to RM. It's been months since everyone got their memories back, and Merlin's never been happier. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to last. With the return of a friend and the return of a foe, Merlin and Arthur's life is once more turned upside down. And this time, Merlin is only mortal. Rated T. No slash.

This is a modern AU story with plenty of whump and fluff, Merlin/Arthur, Gwen/Lancleot, Morgana/Leon and eventual Gwaine/Percival. When the hotel which they all work in burns down and brings tragedy to the group, what difficulties will they have to face to rebuild their lives? Disaster after disaster seem to strike- will anything ever return to normality?

The gang decides to share stories of their first kisses. It's all in good fun until Arthur learns that Gwen kissed Merlin…

Do you ever feel such a deep connection to a complete stranger that you feel as though you know them from somewhere else, from a long time ago? Arthur felt exactly that when a boy named Emrys walked into his life, and he would never be the same. ***** Rated for language, dirty jokes, and situational mishaps.

Arthur had a problem. Not one that could be fixed with a sword or one that could be resolved with a council meeting. No, his problem was much more personal. His problem was Merlin. Or more specifically, his feelings for Merlin. (Merthur)

There is a wall of glass in the hallway. Merlin only wishes Arthur weren't on the other side. Post S5.

The tincture was only meant to get him back to Camelot in time to rescue Arthur. Merlin still needed treatment for the poison. But of course he waits till the last minute, resulting in some lovely Whump and Hurt/Comfort. No magic reveal, not a death fic. Takes place towards the end of Episode 5x08. First few dialogue tags in the story are from the episode. I don't own Merlin :(

Camelot is full of rumors about Emrys, and Arthur is determined to learn the truth. But his quest for answers may force him to realize how little he knows about the one person he trusts the most. Reveal fic. No slash.

"Arthur wasn't going to give up. The former King of Camelot had a goal, and Pendragons were nothing short of stubborn and never gave up. This was going to be the best cake to ever cake or so may the Triple Goddess help him-" Or, Arthur tries to bake a cake for Merlin's birthday.

Destiny takes Arthur and the knights hostage in an effort to persuade Merlin to grant her a favor, but Merlin has no interest in playing her games. One-shot.

Arthur discovers a certain secret about his manservant and his world suddenly flips upside down. The prince must send his best friend away, just for a little while so he can figure out what to do next. Merlin should be safe on his own, right? After all, he is a powerful warlock… Takes place after The Coming of Arthur, but Uther was still in his right mind after Morgana's betrayal.

A day in the life of Merlin and Arthur after the latter's return to the land of the living. (Cross-posted on AO3 and Wattpad under the same Username)

Arthur, Lancelot, Gwaine, Elyan, and the famed warlock himself are on a hunting trip, and things don't really go as well as they'd wish. Or, where they go on a hunting trip and Merlin falls ill, but perhaps none of them realize just how ill.

"He's more than just a servant. He's a prince. And I'm in love with him." / The bandits didn't see any reason to keep Merlin alive when Arthur was the one with real ransom value. Arthur claims that Merlin is much more than a servant...in multiple ways.

Starts 5x05. The Disir tell Arthur to allow magic back into Camelot. What if Merlin chooses differently? Would the ending be different? Or just the journey? T for mild violence and possible language.

There was never really any reason for Merlin not to tell Arthur he was a dragonlord in Series 2. So I wrote an AU where he did. Not a reveal. Short Arthur exploration. Deep friendship or Merthur if you want to see it that way.

Uther learns Arthur is the Once-and-Future-King of prophecy and declares him a traitor, forcing him to flee with Merlin. The catch? Arthur has no idea who Emrys is and no desire to fulfill the prophecy. Reveal!fic. T for action sequences/some deaths; no slash, no smut, no language. Cover art by AlexandarCho on deviantART (used with permission).

Prince Arthur has been raised from his youth not to trust or to be open with others. From a childhood raised in relative isolation, and fear of expectations he grew up to be bitter and arrogant. This story explores, how their friendship developed in the beginning and chronicles how hard it was for the Prince to learn to be a friend. *Currently on the Poisoned Chalice*

A oneshot, that may or may not be expanded. Just a quick idea, inspired by Four times Merlin slept with Arthur. Basically Arthur just supporting Merlin, Merlin!whump.

Arthur finds a little kitten and decides to bring it in the castle. Chaos ensues. Set in early season three. Little to no spoilers. Sorry I'm bad at summaries

Five times Arthur runs into Emrys unplanned and one time he does.

In the modern world full of boxers and cheaters, the company run by the Pendragon family is extremely well-known. But successful companies have enemies. The to-be CEO, Arthur Pendragon, is the only child of Uther Pendragon. When the life of the successor is threatened, the genius bodyguard Merlin, who had just recently moved into the capital, crosses paths with Arthur.

Merlin and Gwen find an album of Arthur's baby photos. [Modern AU Arthur/Gwen/Merlin fluff.]

Missing scenes from Merlin... (One shots)

"NO, DON'T!" The swirling vortex around Merlin seemed to squeeze him and then Gaius was thrown backward and the windows and doors blew outward, raining debris into the corridor and the courtyard below as the magic exploded." After an attempt on the new Court Warlock's life goes strangely awry, Merlin's friends rally around him. De-aged Merlin, but not as you've ever seen it.

Knowing your roommate would turn out to be obnoxious was one thing. Experiencing it every day was, unfortunately, much more painful. [Modern University AU]

Loneliness can ravage a person's heart and mind. Merlin needs a companion as he continues to wait for Arthur. The past may hold the key.

Merlin felt the golden light fade from his eyes as he looked to Arthur, who was standing mere meters away from him. He didn't even have to look at the King to feel the expression on his face. OR Merlin reveals his magic to save Arthur's life in the midst of a battle. Wracked with fear for Arthur, he runs away, and Arthur finds himself unable to let Merlin go.

Magic was once cast out of Camelot and shoved into a young boy named Merlin. But now that Morgana has died, Magic has returned to the land, and it is bad news for King Arthur. Arthur goes on a quest alone, not telling anyone that he intends to find the identity of the wizard who helped them in the battle of Camlann. Merlin must follow him while keeping his magic a secret.

Drunken and defeated after being crowned Court Sorcerer, Merlin escapes the celebrations to a nearby lake. His emotions festered in chaos, unchaining the reigns of his magic, and a snow storm brews. At the edge of a gradually freezing lake, Merlin decides his fate. Will Arthur make it in time to save his friend?

A darker take on the episode 'Servant of Two Masters' (4x06), in which Morgana's treatment of Merlin is far more brutal, and things play out a little differently... "I have such horrible things planned for you Merlin. You will long for death by the time I am finished." Hurt/Comfort fic, with plenty of Merlin Whump.

Merlin talks. Gwaine listens.

Gwen tries to teach Merlin how to sew. (Operative word: tries.) Wholesome AU in which everyone lives and everything is fine.

A collection of stories about the new age of Camelot where magic has been restored to the Kingdom, as promised in the prophecies. As Arthur and Merlin rebuild the Kingdom after the successful battle of Camlann they come across new challenges and dangers. This collection will involve a lot of other characters as well. Thanks to Wil1969 for cover. Enjoy. :)

Arthur refuses to give Merlin a proper day off, so the knights take matters into their own hands. Lancelot takes it a bit further than that. [Emotional hurt/comfort. A tiny bit of Merlin/Lancelot towards the end, but romance is not the focus here.]

Gwen tries to teach Merlin how to make pastries, and Morgana and Arthur get involved. Wholesome AU in which everyone lives and everything is fine.

Arthur receives several letters that are addressed to a man named Emrys, Merlin than let's slip that Emrys is his other name, but if Emrys is Merlin why do the letters address Emrys as 'Lord' and why is Merlin getting so much more praise than him. Also what's this about Merlin controlling his pet...Dragon! Magic Reveal fic

A spell sends Arthur to his next life in modern day times. He is forced to look to Morgana for help getting home, as she is the only one who recalls her past life. While he attempts to return to his time he must work through his spite of magic and learn to forgive his sister for her sins in both his past and his future. Hints of Mergana

An AU type story that changes the outcome 'The Sins of The Father' (s2e8) thus changing the events of the entire series. Instead of Merlin preventing Arthur from killing Uther, Merlin convinces Arthur to stage a rebellion. Knowing the true nature of Ygraine's death, Arthur agrees and sets out to take the throne from his father.

When Morgana reveals she has magic, Merlin takes a leap of faith and reveals his to her. But between magic lessons and their two best friends, they can't keep it a secret forever. Once the cat's out of the bag, the four friends decide to combine their talents to defend those that Uther won't. And maybe there's some dragon riding involved, idk.

Merlin and his eyes met again. "Sorcerer." Merlin's were filled with nothing but fear. Arthur's first instinct was to kill the sorcerer. Magic reveal. Immortal!Merlin. Prat!Arthur.

While hunting in the woods, Arthur, Merlin, and the knights of Camelot stumble upon a unicorn. Arthur fires his crossbow, not counting on Merlin jumping in the way.

My first fanfiction ever, so please be kind! This is a reveal fic where I've skipped over all of the boring set-up and have jumped right into the action. Set sometime post S4-ish, but before S5, only canon characterizations. This fic explores the "two sides of the coin" thing by mixing in a little of the lore I've made for my personal fantasy-epic about soul-magic and relationships

It appears I'm posting this now anyway. It's the year 2018 (I don't want to write all the Corona stuff) and Arthur's back as the prince of England. The thing is, he doesn't remember a thing. Merlin has to find a way to jog his memory among all the disaster that unfolds. Only thing they've got to worry about is Morgause

"Merlin!" a voice rang out into the distance. "Merlin!" it repeated again, the distressed tone only increasing each time. OR Merlin falls off a cliff and Arthur learns that it's not the first time this has happened. So, Merlin tells Arthur a tale from when he was a boy.

"Y-you said you would come back." "I know. And I did." "N-no, you didn't." Arthur needs to face his biggest mistake.

After a bad fight where hurtful things were said on both end, Merlin and Arthur go to bed both angry, but that anger soon turns to fear when they dream of each others death.

Merlin is tired of playing the same old Star Trek cosplay cliché. It's time to mix it up a bit.

Sequel to More Gained, None Lost. Merlin has been rescued from Morgana's clutches but the recovery process will be long, and it's not just Merlin's physical state that needs time to recover.

AU of a Servant of Two Masters. Arthur isn't useless and goes around the boulders after Merlin and the mercenaries. He doesn't like what he sees and is determined to save Merlin from Morgana.

Cedric never stood a chance against Merlin and Arthur. Not when they are literally two sides of the same coin, bound by destiny, and especially not when they're secretly dating and trust each other with everything. Or—Cedric doesn't notice Merlin in Arthur's bed when he goes to steal Arthur's keys in the middle of the night, and that's his undoing. - Set in the episode 2x01.

Arthur finally decides he wants to find out who this "Once and Future King" is that Merlin always talks about. He connects the dots and goes to confront Merlin, but his reaction is not what he expected. Reveal fic

Uther was unconscious when Merlin used his magic to save him from Edwin's cursed beetle. He knows Merlin has magic. And that's a problem, because using magic carries a death sentence, but Merlin did just save his life...and might be responsible for keeping his son alive. Weighing the law of the kingdom against the safety of his son and heir...what's a king to do?

"Assisted? I'm pretty sure I saved your life." "I had the situation perfec- Are you trying to make me reconsider letting you go?" It was supposed to be a one time thing. Arthur let the sorcerer run off with his life in return for him saving Arthur's. He had never expected to see the boy again, especially not only two days later in Gaius's chambers.

He only heard a faint bump when he should have heard something a lot louder. Merlin's fears from the previous day came true as he sat there in bed trying to process it. The ringing had gone, but he still couldn't hear anything. OR Merlin gets injured in a fight and is rendered temporarily deaf. He doesn't want Arthur to find out, but he does anyway. Angst and hurt/comfort ahead.

Merlin really does take care of every little thing. Just a quick laugh.

Arthur reacts badly to Merlin's revelation and quickly regrets it, but not quick enough. How does one find an all powerful warlock who doesn't believe he deserves to be found?

Arthur pretended he hadn't seen that. Or that. Probably that, too.

When they slowly start to gather as a group of friends, all of the group slowly start to navigate the minefield of grown-up relationships. (I am struggling with all my on-going stories. This is going to have a limited number of chapters, it's just something to keep me going.)

Merlin's a fan of movies but sappy ones just make him cry. But when a soft voice behind him starts making snarky comments about them, Merlin is all too happy to listen. Modern AU

Book III of The Albion Cycle.

Merlin, a struggling PhD student, part-time apprentice in Gaius' pharmacy, has added escort to his professional work. Arthur, a struggling son in his father's company, recent ex, needs someone by his side for a company event. Neither can shake the other off. Maybe it's for the best.

"You are destined for great things, Arthur Pendragon. With Emrys at your side, the two of you will unite this land and you will become the King in which Camelot will rejoice. You are to live a long and healthy life. It is not yet your time. Come back to the land and fulfil the destiny that was written long before you came into this world. Come back, King Arthur, you are needed,"

Arthur has no chance of getting a haircut while stuck in lockdown, but he'll be damned if he lets Merlin cut it for him. Unfortunately, Merlin won't leave it alone. Or: 4 times Merlin messes with Arthur's hair, and 1 time Arthur got his own back.

A Fix-it one shot about Merlin and Arthur watching the world change around them. Immortality may not always be the most fun, but it sure gives you a new perspective.

Arthur and Morgana overhear Merlin's conversation with his mother, and both realize that Merlin is a sorcerer. Despite not really wanting to, Arthur decides that Merlin should stay in Ealdor. Now it's Morgana's job to kick Arthur back to Ealdor to get their friend back. But that is not the only reason Arthur wants Merlin to stay with him. - Set in 1x10 The Moment of Truth; Merthur

"The boy, your love, Merlin," the phantom spat, "he has, is, magic. Destroy him, the ones the Druid call Emrys, and you will wield a fear over magic we can only imagine." "Merlin?" "Merlin has magic." Uther, being able to see most things in his kingdom while in the afterlife, reveals Merlin's secret to Arthur before the new King leaves the veil

The kings of Camelot have many traditions, including that which encourages the ruler to grow his hair in peacetime. Arthur doesn't know where it started, but wishes that someone might attack soon; Merlin finds it all very amusing.

Merlin revealed his magic to Arthur and Arthur promised to keep his secret. What will happen to the two sides of a coin when Uther finds out? How far will Arthur go to protect his servant?

It's Merlin's destiny to protect Arthur, but sometimes Arthur has to protect him too, even if that means going against everything his father has taught him

What it says on the tin and nothing more.

The King returns.

It hadn't, Merlin muses, been a fair fight. Even with his magic there could have been no other outcome. Somehow, Cenred had clearly known they were coming. Someone, or something, had warned him.

More than 1,000 years after Arthur's death, Merlin is still waiting for his King's return. He waits in an abandoned, yet fully decorated observatory on the shore of the Lake of Avalon. An observatory that he has decorated to his heart's content, a place truly fit for a King. He couldn't wait for the day that Arthur would see it. Work in progress - modern-day Merlin. Angst/fluff.

"You know Merlin, that branch couldn't have fallen at a better time. Quite the coincidence, don't you think?" "Er. Right! Very lucky!"

based on this tumblr post Merlin uses magic to move all of Arthur's furniture 3 inches. No spoilers, no context needed, just a fluffy one shot

Rewrite of Arthur's bane- In order to complete Arthur's plan of saving the knights of the round table, Merlin and Arthur have to blend in with all the workers looking for the Diamir.

Merlin's lost so many friends for his destiny already, his world becoming emptier and emptier. Post-ep: The Darkest Hour part 2

When Merlin is attacked by bandits while out collecting herbs for Gauis, he knows he must make it back to Arthur. Too bad an infected wound and oncoming fever have other plans for him.

Merlin has begun humming a quiet lullaby as he works, and Arthur can't help but notice.

It was actually happening. Arthur was doing it.

Merlin Watching had become one of Camelot's most favorite pastimes. Observers just couldn't help analyzing everything related to him. It seemed that everything down to even his most mundane habits were to be dissected in the search for dark secrets and magical meaning. The latest object of wonder and speculation was none other than Merlin's neckerchief.

900 years since Arthur Pendragon died near the Isle of Avalon. Merlin has been waiting patiently for his best friend's return. When Arthur rises in the middle of the twenty-first century, its a shock, for there is no peril... on the surface. While, Arthur struggles to conform to modern-day society, and grieve the loss of all but one of his friends, the two must save Albion. Again.

Arthur puts the pieces together, and finally learns Merlin's secret. What will he do with Emrys now? Will he be able to ever trust his best friend? Magic reveal story that takes place at the end of season four, and goes through some of season 5 with an alternate ending.

Now two one-shots: Merlin gets hurt while out with Arthur and the Knights. And Merlin gets attacked by a lone wolf while out on his own. Basically, an excuse to show a rare side to our favorite royal prat.

On the shores of Avalon, as the king lies dying, Kilgharrah starts saying the most ridiculous things. Merlin sets him straight and then sets Destiny straight. The Triple Goddess approves. "Merlin, you cannot overcome Destiny's path," warned Kilgharrah. "Watch me," Merlin retorted fiercely.

Merlin never really stopped to think about what the words actually meant. Five times Merlin heard the phrase "the Once and Future King" without fully understanding it and the one time he realized what it meant.

They were friends, right? They'd fought alongside each other, hadn't they? He had saved Gwaine, and Camelot, time and time again. Right? So why couldn't he remember the young man named Merlin? Did he want to remember? And what about everyone else? And what if it was too late? Rated T. No slash. Reveal fic.

Puppies will melt anyone's heart, except maybe a certain prat prince.

"I wasn't going to jump," He says once more, but Arthur's still silent and he knows he doesn't believe it. Merlin's not so sure he believes it himself. tw: suicidal ideation

Merlin's been acting strangely - at least, more so than usual - and Arthur's determined to find out why. tw: self harm

This is a prompt (and first chapter) from Hamato-Grayson. It's set in the middle of season 4. Maybe hints of romance, but mostly relationships from the show from the perspective of an OC.

Merlin has had enough of Arthur's behaviour towards him after Gwen's banishment and he finally snaps.

It was so simple, the clustering revealing. It was a simple attack that gave him time to think, to give him clarity. Rated T, just to be on the safe side.

Post Season 5, fix-it of sorts.

"I want to tell you something I've never told you before... Thank you." It's been fifteen hundred years since those words were spoken, and his friend's deaths still weigh heavily on Merlin's mind. But after all those years of waiting, trying, suffering, they've finally returned. Not just Arthur, but all of them. Even Morgana. And something is horribly wrong. Future fic. No slash.

Against everything, Merlin saved Arthur. *Post Season 5. If you're in grief, this is your cure!

"You've never fathomed me out?" Merlin asks.- This is based on a meme I saw and I wanted to write a story on it. Arthur is trying to figure out the mystery that is Merlin. No slash, just friendship and lots of confusion.

Morgana has Merlin, and his secret is out. Will Arthur be able to save him in time? Now that his friend's true powers are revealed...will he still want to? I do not own Merlin.

The price for peace is a steep one. Will Arthur be able to pay it? Alternate ending for "A Servant of Two Masters." Arthur is strangely fond of the boy...

It's Arthur's first Christmas after coming back from Avalon, and he's finally found the best gift for Merlin. The gift is so perfect that it might just make Merlin cry. (Or: Arthur finds photos of Château de Pierrefonds online, prints one and gives it to Merlin, who's already forgotten what Camelot used to look like because of his long life.) - Christmas merthur fluff! :)

Some time after Uther's death. Merlin's late. Again. But Arthur is never getting rid of him because Merlin is the one to get him through the grief, and he is going to be there no matter what. A short about the aftermath of Uther's death, and Arthur's grief after the loss. My first fanfic so please go easy on me! I don't own Merlin.

Merlin agreed to help Morgana with her magic. Through their conversation feelings are realized. I suck at summaries.

A series of slightly awesome reveal fics featuring, among other things, a BAMF!Merlin, plenty of Arwen, lots of bromance, some whump!, and all the rest of that good stuff. Not necessarily magic reveals (though the first one is) - can be Freya, scar reveal, dragonlord/Balinor, etc... This is an "I'm sorry" for not updating Dreadful Day- I'll get on that, guys, don't worry!

Arthur has returned from the depths of Avalon and Merlin is overjoyed, but he doesn't remember anything at all. Merlin will go to any lengths to bring back his memories, but things aren't all as they seem.

What if Merlin hadn't told Arthur of Mordred's plan to escape with Kara? Driven by his own emotions and memories of Freya, Merlin decides to defy the prophecy by taking a different approach. Merlin's plan was to ensure Kara's safety and health to gain Mordred's trust. Mordred, however, decides he would rather have Emrys throughout their journey. Perhaps even gain his trust as well.

In Camelot, Guinevere struggles to fulfill her duties to the kingdom while coping with grief. In modern day London, an ordinary woman's life will be forever changed when she is recognized on the street by a mysterious old man. This story will bounce back and forth between the time following the fall of King Arthur and the time in which it appears he may have returned. Gwen POV.

Nearly ten years after the Battle of Camlann, Merlin drowns in his memories and suffocates in his dreams.

The older Arthur got, the more he realized how awful nobles can be. Especially when they start giving his servants unwanted attention, and one manservant in particular seems to be targeted...

Merlin has been waiting for Arthur to return for over one thousand years. Through all the times of terror that Albion had been through, he had prayed for the king's return in its time of need, but his longing was in vain. However, there was one thing that he forgot to consider: he is all that is truly left of Albion. When he loses all hope, will his cries for help finally be heard?

Merlin's been battling with his depression for a very long time. After Arthur's return, it's gotten a lot better, but that doesn't make it gone. He still has bad days, and this is one of them. Arthur's there for him this time. - bromance, but can be Merthur if you want. Fic art on ao3.

Arthur teams up with the mighty sorcerer Emrys. They face difficulties while trying to legalize magic and new enemies threaten everything they hold dear. Post-reveal. A sequel to Seeing Through the Shadows and Behind the Shadows. Can be read alone.

"I said I was dying." Arthur sighed."I don't have time for this." "Would you have had time to retrieve my corpse?" Merlin thought, then nearly smacked himself when Arthur's expression made him realize he'd spoken out loud. Could Merlin have told the truth if Arthur had been willing to listen that morning? What would that mean for their future? For Morgana's?

"Merlin," Arthur says, "go back to bed." / "What?" Merlin scoffs, and wobbles where he stands. "Why?" In the Arthur Knows series.

When Uther gets told his son and Merlin are getting a divorce as they no longer love each other, he calls in a old favour and he enlists the help of Merlin's parents and even his grandchildren to help Arthur and Merlin get back to how they were before they got lost along the road called marriage.

Merlin might use magic to help Arthur but he rarely uses it to help himself, which leads to an awful lot of misery... written for whumptober, enjoy!

Morgana was ruthless. Why didn't she ever go after Hunith as revenge on Merlin? Here's why.

Arthur's keeping something from Merlin.

King Arthur strolled down the stairs of his castle. And his frozen heart begins to melt.

It is the Battle of Camlann and the future of Camelot is at stake. After a tremendous battle Arthur is forced to meet his deadliest enemy, his sister. By the end of the encounter bonds and friendships are left in tatters. As the smoke clears can Merlin overcome his decision to reveal himself, and rebuild his shattered friendship with Arthur? Thanks to Wil1969 for bookcover support.

Arthur really needs someone to show him how to babysit his nephew.

It is a strange sensation to be on the brink of death. Everything grows cold and mute, and your body is numb and you simply feel like a floating head. Arthur hated to admit it, but it was a feeling he was now quite accustomed to, what with people trying to murder him frequently. This time, however, he had been sure that this was the last time. Or so he thought...

So you know in S2:E9 where Merlin meets the Druid girl and falls in love with her? And then she dies? Yeah. I remember it too. But what if Merlin managed to save her? What would have happened then? Rated T for now, but the rating might go up!

Basically what the title says - how Merlin could've ended instead of Arthur dying. He lives and now knows Merlin has Magic. What happens from here? A story about love, friendship, adventures and a lot of hurt/comfort (whump). No slash!

After an ill-fated quest, Arthur and the Knights rescue an injured Merlin from the ruins of a castle. As they journey back to Camelot, Arthur fears he will lose the chance, to ask Merlin the questions he's been longing to know. This is a one shot, set in a post reveal era. Thanks to Wil1969 for the lovely book cover.

Prompt: "Merlin gets so busy that he actually forgets it's his own birthday. Luckily, everybody else remembers, so Gaius and Gwen convince Arthur and the knights to help them throw Merlin a surprise party!"

Merlin is hurt and Arthur helps make it better. (It’s a modern day AU. Sorry)

Arthur survived the series finale and he and Gwen have some questions. Slight AU. No slash.

"Sorry I don't have an entire wardrobe of literally hundreds of breeches and cloaks and God knows what else like a certain prat I know who could stand to appreciate his brave and hardworking and handsome servant a bit more—" "Oh, shut up, Merlin," Arthur says impatiently. Merlin lost him at "hardworking".

There's a first time for everything, especially for a poor, young peasant who's suddenly working for a prince in a big city. There's a first time for everything, especially for a resurrected king being introduced to a new world by his warlock. Bromance and fluff as Merlin and Arthur watch each other experience strange new things for the first time. No slash.

Arthur knew Merlin was more than just the other side of his coin. His kinship with majestic creatures of magic also had a place in his remarkable soul. That ancient kinship called out but would remain unanswered now that all the dragons were nothing more than legend. Merlin needed the comfort of Arthur's friendship and understanding, and Arthur was ready and willing to give it.

A collection of OS set in the Merlin Universe inspired by your prompts. You ask and I write... ;) A lot of pairings included.

Bromance, but can be Merthur if you want.

Just a short one shot inspired by and dedicated to the first Merlin fan fiction I ever found online: Kingdom Come. (It's on Tumblr.) I love the creative ideas in that story. This little story of my creation is hanging out on the fringe of the Kingdom Come AU. Merlin seriously needs to get some sleep!-so he does. He also deserves a really nice room of his own, don't you think?

The three men finally turned to notice Merlin slumped at the table fast asleep. Upon closer inspection Merlin's friends could see that his thin body looked utterly worn out and forlorn.

Leon always wanted a little brother. One-shot. pointless fluff. set after season 3.

Leon can't help but think sometimes how there's no one to look after Merlin. One-shot. Literally just ridiculous fluff.

Queen Guinevere is none to happy about that, but it's toughest of all for Merlin, because as usual, he's the one who has keep this unfortunate situation from sparking a war...

In the end it was always because of Merlin.

A Mergana oneshot set in the future.

One heartfelt gift deserves another, and Arthur's gift to Merlin sets off a whole chain of events the warlock is not in the least prepared for...EDIT: CH. 4 HAS BEEN UPLOADED! [Intense Friendshipfic. Possible Pre-Slash.]

"I got my results for my blood test today." Morgana said with a sigh. " They show presence of H.C.G," Merlin frowned, not understanding. "I'm pregnant, Merlin." It's not easy when you knock up your best friend's sister especially when said friend, doesn't know about the relationship in the first place. Mergana mordern AU.

This is set in the good years of Camelot. Arthur and Gwen are together, and Gwen has made friends with Mithian. The relationship between Merlin and Mithian also starts to get closer, and Mithian decides to prove to Merlin that they are meant to be together, but can it ever be? Friendship and romance.

Arthur deeply regrets sending Merlin away almost a year ago, after the Battle of Camlann. Mordred at his side, the king leaves Camelot in search of his friend. The one thing Arthur is sure of is that, no matter where he is, Merlin is alright; after all, he's more than capable of looking after himself. The king's conviction is misplaced, though; Merlin is in fact far from alright...

Even around his friends, Merlin sometimes feels really alone...
