This is a collection of one- shots about our favourite warlock and some other characters through these two are the most prominent ones. All genres. Challenges welcomed. Currently hosts among for example - AU to s2e13, magic reveal tag to s3e8, a peek into Merlin's head in s1e1, AUs to The Wicked Day, La Morte d'Arthur, Disir, Lamia and The Death Song of Uther Pendragon.

Merlin realized, too late, that the ephemeral nature of man leads to a blatant disregard of heritage. Further away from magic does humanity slip, and the world is made all the worse for it. All of the time he's spent trying to fix the world, and yet nothing he did seemed to help, or matter really, in the end. Magic was still dying. (Modern Era, Canon Compliant, Warnings Inside.)

"Ah," Gaius drops the pestle down into the bowl with a light little clunk, and he very obviously does not look up at Arthur at all, "I believe he said he was going to the tavern, Sire."

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

Morgana's engaged, and she wants the whole world to know it. Now a series of one-shots. Modern AU.

Leon comes across Merlin one night in a darkened corridor with Arthur, teaching him poetry. But the King of Camelot isn't the only one who's privy to these lessons, as Leon comes to find out. It seems there's other as well, and maybe, just maybe, he himself can get a lesson in poetry, if he's lucky.

Tasneem is from modern day England and has no idea why she's in Camelot, all she wants is to get back home (with Merlin's help). Unfortunately her love of romanticism and her bi heart means she's falling in love left, right and centre. She ends up creating more trouble than she means to and is just trying to get through each day without getting accused of some form of witchcraft.

Merlin takes Arthur's place when they reach the Isle of the Blessed. Arthur returns to Camelot to continue on with his life without him. How does it affect his parenting? How does Gwen handle a depressed Arthur for years on end? (One-Shot)

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.

It is finally time for King Merlin to go to Camelot and embrace his destiny. Though he has solved many problems there are still those who threaten the Prophecy of the Once and Future King and Emrys from being fulfilled. Come and be a part of this journey with Merlin and Arthur where they get new but similar starts but a completely different ending. Merlin/Arthur Slash. Time Travel.

One-shot sickfic where Merlin gets a fever and acts a bit like a stubborn kid. Arthur takes care of him. Whump I guess. It's been done, but what's one more? Now without computer gunk everywhere!

The story of Merlin retold from the beginning but gay af.

The soulmate words were seemingly the one form of magic Uther Pendragon could not best. Merlin has never wanted hers; they are sure to be a great deal of trouble on top of being a warlock. After all, soulmarks are a type of magic, and she has eight. / Or where Merlin is born a female warlock with eight soulmates. Bring it on, chaos.

Arthur knew about his magig, but Merlin never told him, why?

While Merlin is in recovery and George is away, Arthur takes some initiative. Shocking, yes, and definitely a cause for celebration. Some lighthearted crack to celebrate 1917farmgirl's birthday. Seriously, this is pretty darn cracky. Happy Birthday!

An AU to the Last Dragonlord, in which Gaius doesn't tell Merlin who his father is, and Balinor finds out a different way. AKA a fic that includes a long forgotten love story, a magic reveal, an outsmarted king, and Gaius's eyebrow.

AU where Merlin makes it to the final battle a little sooner and summons Killgarrah to torch Morgana and her troops, then the two of them drag Arthur and he gets so mad about that he forgets to be mad about the magic thing. Crack fic

Post Season 5, fix-it of sorts.

The Druid Emrys gets sent by his people to Camelot to fulfill an ancient prophecy. He assumes the name Merlin, and finds himself the servant of Prince Arthur of Camelot. Three years later, circumstances force him to fake his and Lady Morgana's deaths, and they return to the Druids. What happens when he comes face-to-face with King Arthur after he has been "dead" for three years?

"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.

Dragoon finds the amulet on Uther's neck before he tries to heal him. He takes it off and successfully heals Uther, but what are the consequences? What will Uther do when Arthur tells him that he was saved by magic. All Arther knows is that the sorcerer named Dragoon is going to be the next to burn.

The famed J.R.R. Tolkien once cautioned against meddling in the affairs of wizards, claiming that they are "subtle and quick to anger". Well. He's been wrong before. Alternately: In Which Merlin Gets a Summons, Magic is Discussed, and Uther Weeps in Despair for the Future of Camelot. Also on AO3.

Fleeing from Essetir in the bloody beginnings of the Purge, Hunith finds herself on the doorstep of old friends. That's all it takes to untangle the skeins of destiny and weave a new tapestry.

Merlin and Arthur meet an incognito knight, Gwaine, in a bar fight, and incur the wrath of vengeful thugs. Adaptation of the third series episode "Gwaine" in order to integrate the character into my AU.

Merlin contemplates all the deaths of both friend and foe, and comes to a conclusion.
