In which Merlin learned to fight with a sword and let us pray for poor Arthur because if he thought Lancelot was hot when he demonstrated his sword skills, he wouldn't be prepared when a BAMF, sword-wielding Merlin hit him with the force of a thousand butterflies - a.k.a. Gwaine, Morgana and Gwen teaching Merlin how to swordfight. Merlin/Arthur.

Merlin's best weapon is taken away after saving the King's life.

Morgana's death. Because she deserved more, because they were once friends, because he betrayed her, when he was the only one that truly knew her, and because he killed her.

Merlin's magic is revealed and Arthur has to mete out the punishment. But what happens when he does? The repercussions are not something that Arthur w complete.

Merlin can't recall, for the life of him, when was the last time he managed to sleep without issue.

After the battle of Camlann, and the long trek to reach the isle of the blessed, Arthur, though delirious, has had a chance to come to terms with his death. What he didn't count on was Merlin's magic. Because Merlin and his magic had the unique ability to create more problems than they solve, and still somehow save the day. Although save the day, in this context, is a relative term

Arthur is forced to witness Merlin be poisoned again, and the only cure is for him to confesses his deepest, darkest secret.

What if Morgana didn't escape from the Ransom attempt? What if she was caught, instead of Gwen? Mergana.

Morgana is scared. There are strange things happening, and she knows it's magic. Worse, she knows it's her. But what if she stumbled upon a long forgotten room in the castle? Who knows what she might find - or who?

The Prince Consort is taken by surprise when his old wounds begin acting up in the middle of the peace talks.

Despite being surrounded by people in Camelot, and having a good knowledge of his bearings, Merlin still felt astray.

It's just a typical, everyday hunting trip in Camelot after the typical, everyday ambush of bandits when Merlin has what might just be the worst idea he's ever had. Or possibly the best, depending on how you look at it.

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

Sometimes you have to save the past to save the future, but secrets lurk in years long forgotten. Will those secrets be an ending, or a beginning? Their Bond faces its deadliest challenge yet- each other! Established MERTHUR. MerlinWHUMP! ProtectiveArthur! A little graphic slash, but I think mostly safely rated T.

Raiders from the North attack Camelot, but plundering the coastal villages isn't all they want. They want the prince, but having never seen him before, accidentally grab the wrong man. While Arthur sets off on an impossible quest to find Merlin, the servant finds himself miles from home in frozen lands across the sea, the captive of brutal Vikings who think he's the prince. FIN!

All Knights of Camelot have vowed to their King that they would look after the Prince Consort until their dying breath. As the centuries pass, Leon fears he might be failing the promise, for he sees Merlin's will slowly decay.

It's a slow burn in which Merlin travels around the Camelot region, saving pokémon wherever he goes. Arthur is off on his own quest, battling his way to the elite 4. Despite their dislike for one another, they keep meeting up and getting dragged into each other's messes. Poor Gwen for having to deal with these idiots.

The fear of getting burned at the pyre manifests after witnessing an execution.

When Merlin falls ill, Arthur must look after him, despite only having been back in the Modern world for a few months.

With Merlin becoming more and more of a pain in her ass, Morgana decides to make use of her trump card.

It was up to him, as usual, to save Arthur's life. But when Merlin pays the price, it's Arthur's turn to look out for his servant.

When Merlin has a pull in his chest and his magic itching beneath his skin, what happens when he follows the pull and it leads to a forest with a strange man named Apollo who claims to be a god? (I suck at summaries. Please read it first before judging.)

A quick moment together during the dorocha attacks. Slash if you squint, I suppose.

Uther holds the Dragonlord's son hostage as leverage against him. (Episode: s02e13 The Last Dragonlord AU)

After Merlin experiences abuse at the hands of a visiting lord, Arthur decides his manservant needs to learn how to defend himself. But Merlin is unimpressed with Arthur's solution, and Arthur is forced to confront some unpleasant truths about what happens right under his nose. How can he protect a kingdom when he can't even protect those inside his castle? One-shot.
