Arthur uses a magic thingy to follow Merlin around all day and discovers some interesting facts. He also discovers that Merlin really is an idiot, but then he already knew that. Agravaine is really horrid to Merlin in this, but Arthur doesn't receive any spoilers. Canon compliant. I pay my licence so I reckon that means I own a teeny-weany bit of Merlin.

When Ygraine's old prayer book is found - complete with handwritten notes - Arthur is given another chance to hear his mother speak from the grave. Not as a summoned shade, but as the memory of a young woman finding solace in the words she once loved.

A mix up of a few classic fairytales and all our favourite Merlin characters! Ends up with Merthur as all my stories do and there's plenty of fluff, fighting and my attempt at comedy.

Sir Leon comes comes back from his assignment from northern border after three years. He has to prove that his loyal to Uther, not to Arthur. Fem!Merlin, starts from second season. AU

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.

Princess Guinevere, known to most as Gwen, begins this tale waiting for the arrival of a well known Dragonlord named Balinor, and his family. Once they arrive, nothing turns out as she had thought, and perhaps, that was for the best, after all. Updates: Wednesdays

Uther Pendragon's hatred of magic is so out of the realm of reason that even Arthur can see it is bordering on the perverse. Ordered to hunt down and kill a band of renegade sorcerers, Arthur makes a fatal mistake that could cost Merlin his life. Can he set aside a lifetime of his father's indoctrination and accept magic in order to save his servant and friend?

While investigating a report of dire wolves, the knights stumble across an abandoned castle in which Morgana is hidden, waiting to kill them.

His gaze fell to the boy's parted lips, so close and tantalizing that it drove him insane. He leaned forward and, looking deep into his eyes, asked in a low, breathy voice, "May I?". Merlin licked his lips. "Please," he whispered in response.

Merlin has a habit of keeping Arthur out of trouble, without the prince noticing of course. But when it's the warlock's turn to keep himself from harm's way he's not as on top of things as he'd like to believe, leaving the task up to those closest to him. A series of connected short stories featuring our favorites from Camelot and their mission to keep one selfless sorcerer safe.

Arthur catches sight of a scar on Merlin's back which he can't explain, so he asks each of the members of the Round Table if they've seen it, too. They have...but it wasn't the same scar. (Rated T for descriptions of scars & injuries; no slash/smut/profanity.)

Kidnapped by a mad king, Arthur and Merlin must rely on each other like never before. While Arthur struggles with choices that put his heart and duty at odds, Merlin struggles just to stay alive after being stripped of his magic and freedom. With impossible choices and heavy secrets weighing them down, can they manage to escape before all is lost? (Lots of bromance.)

Two weeks. 336 hours. 20160 minutes. And that was exactly the time Morgana had been spending trying to figure out how this had happened, and how she'd gotten pregnant. And more importantly, how to tell Merlin about it.

Arthur finds out Merlin has magic and feels betrayed. Then Merlin gets hit with a curse that changes Arthurs views on everything. Is better than it sounds. Deaged Reveal fic

Twenty years before Merlin's arrival, Nimueh is made the court sorceress of Camelot. It is a position that will change her life - and, quite possibly, the fate of the kingdom.

In the midst of capturing a magical creature, Merlin is transported to a world where Camelot is home to thousands of magic-users. Merlin plans to get back to his own reality. To do that, however, he must get inside the castle. The only way in is to pass the Apprentice Exam and be an apprentice to a magic-user inside Camelot court. Should be easy...right? Full summary inside.

Arthur is a pillock, telling Merlin to clean out the stables with a spoon. The arse.

Arthur finds a girl in the woods. Not just any girl - his childhood best friend. Ryia Coastillion is sent to Camelot after her family is struck by tragedy, and her return spins both of their worlds upside down. Rated T to be safe.

Arthur doesn't care about the Devil of Camelot, magic, or vigilantes. He just wants Merlin to show up for work. Daredevil AU

two dollopheads who knew each other before in an angsty romance story. female!merlin x arthur.

Dude, just read it. It's totally rad. XD

Mithian thanks Merlin for his part in saving her father and her kingdom and realises just how much Merlin has changed since the last time she saw him.

Merlin wasn't clumsy but when he tripped into Gaius's closet and made a mess of the old physician's collection of skeletons, Gwaine was there to help him out – or so Merlin thought.

After staying late on the training field, Arthur and his knights discover something shocking within the halls of the castle. Magic Reveal!
