Merlin is gathering all his strength to return to Camelot after Arthur's death.

From Mini Challenge 7 Fic Battle 2.0 Team Edition 2013

Mini Challenge entries for 2012

The kingdom of Elmondelet is in jeopardy, and the king has sent his two successors to Camelot for protection. Cecily and Arthur were childhood friends, but is it possible for their flowering friendship to evolve? Only 12 years old, Roland seems to be too wise for his age. One night, restless, he discovers something, hidden deep in the bowels of the citadel. (Arthur/OC, Arwen)

Merlin gets trapped in the crystal cave 4 days before the Battle of Camlann with, seemingly, no hope of escaping. Without Merlin, will Arthur survive the battle or will he fall like the prophecies foretold. Or will Merlin escape in time. Magic reveal! First story so please review and any criticism is welcome.

Merlin AU set in the Harry Potter universe. Merlin Emrys never knew he was a wizard until he received his letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Now, amidst new friendships, exciting classes and surprising new enemies, Merlin must discover his true legacy and save the school from the monster awakening within. (No significant character crossovers.) MerlinxArthur.

…even if they confess. Kings don't have to 'prove' anything; what they say goes. But when Merlin is seen practicing magic Arthur refuses to declare him guilty, even after Merlin does so himself. There has to be another way… Reveal fic. One shot.

Arthur gets a weird present from Merlin but wears them, little did he know it would have another meaning and surprise. will he figure it out. Rate M for lots of gay sex does include bondaged. Arthur is bottom. sorry for chessey names, and i had to change title name it was rubbish

Eventual magic reveal. Arthur accidentally releases a curse that begins attacking everything it can in his kingdom. There are only two ways to stop the curse: Arthur faces the curse's challenge, most likely dying in the process. Or a sorcerer's life is sacrificed. Arthur chooses the first, of course, because where is he going to find a sorcerer willing to sacrifice himself? Post s4

"A pale hand outstretched, holding a crisp envelope addressed to the Court Sorcerer. 'I wrote this a few weeks ago,' Arthur rasped. 'It's for you to read, and I only hope you can forgive us after reading it.'" No slash, a few tiny mentions of Arwen. Oneshot.

We all know that Merlin has a secret, but Arthur is hiding his own truth as well. As the two men struggle to conceal their true identities, Arthur's final destiny approaches, and Merlin can't let him die. In an attempt to save his friend's life, Merlin transports them both to 21st Century New York: a strange land where secrets tend not to stay secrets for very long. Merthur (duh).

AU Arthur/Gwen. Arthur and Gwen are Biology partners at Camelot University. For one day only, a student is giving out temporary tattoos to symbolize everybody's one true love, and Morgana convinces Gwen to go get one. Disclaimer: I do not own the plot or the characters.

Merlin finds himself in a bad situation when he is pronounced dead after Morgana launched an attack on him to get to Arthur, but in order to save Arthur from Morgana, he will have to admit his biggest secret to the knights and the king, or he could keep his secret hidden and watch the downfall of Camelot, and the one and future king of Albion. Rated teen just in case

Arthur is taken from Camelot to protect him from Nimueh and raised alongside Merlin in the peaceful village of Ealdor. But happy times cannot stay, secrets will be revealed, destinies discovered and the boys' lives will change forever.

One-shot. Read it as slash or not whichever makes you happy. "The future you have worked so hard for, sacrificed for, bled for, killed for, is nothing but a dream. That's all it will ever be. That's all this relationship will ever be."

How did everything that is the present come to be? Why does everything have an end? Is there also a beginning, but of course... this is theirs. The past must always be remembered, to appreciate the present, and plan for the future. *Prequel of sorts to 'Legend of Albion'*

Merlin visits an angry, terrified, and broken Morgana in her chambers and learns far more about what happened to her in the time she was missing from Camelot. Desperately, he seeks her forgiveness, wants her love and understanding. Things he never imagined possible happen between them, changing their relationship forever. Rated M for suggestive content and insinuation.

Set a few months after Merlin becomes Prince Arthur's manservant. His growing friendship with Arthur and his developing feelings for Morgana. Uther comes into the story later. Rubbish summary, I know :p

I can fix this. REPOSTED.

When our favourite characters are sucked into a book of fairytales, they find themselves living some of the best known stories of all time. With Fairy God Merlins and other such weirdness running round, story time wil never be the same again... It's fairytales. Merlin-ified. Utter Madness, please R&R!

"Great, just what he needed, something else trying to off the prat on the way home." Merlin, Arthur, a very large spot of prison-cell-shaped trouble, and a lot to work out. Bromance, no slash, and lots of whump.

"MERLIN!" Arthur yelled and ran to the edge of the cliff just in time to see Merlin's limp body hit the lower ledge and roll off to plunge towards the raging river. "MERLINNNNN!" Arthur cried out again as his friend's body was lost from sight in the wild white wash of the water below.

In Arthur's last moment, there was so much he wanted to tell Merlin but he was running out of time. /You can read it as Merthur or not, whichever you prefer! One-shot/

Reincarnation fic/Modern AU "For Arthur is the Once and Future King, he will rise again when Albion needs him the most". This is a take on what could have happened if Arthur rises again in the year 2013 and Arthur and Gwen find their way back to each other. Currently rated K may be rated M in future chapters.
