Arthur's birthday is coming, and Merlin is just trying to survive. Arthur's being more of a pain than usual, accusing Merlin of being at the core of every noble's desires. Oh, and that Merlin can't possibly have a loved one, because he's far too annoying for anyone to put up with. Arthur's right, but Merlin has a plan to wipe that smug look off the prince's face.

Arthur does his very best to get rid of the ghost that decided to haunt him. ghost!Merlin

Gwaine was fifteen when he found out he was a bastard.

Balinor knows that he can't stay in Ealdor. Uther would never rest until Balinor was dead and anyone helping him.

Merlin knew he should have waited until the kids were gone before playing with his magic. Now they thought there were ghosts. Modern AU with magic.

"Just, just… just hold me." Merlin stopped, and Arthur could feel his grip shift as he recognised the words. "Please." Arthur lies in Merlin's arms and faces his final moments, and as he does, he comes to a realisation. (canon-compliant (merthur subtext is canon)) The Merlin fandom is somehow still alive! Congrats, and here's a present :)

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.

Merlin knows of his destiny from an early age but doesn't know whether or not Arthur truly is capable of being The Once And Future King and goes to Camelot to see if Arthur is capable of being this King but can he overcome his hate of Uther?

Uther decides it's time to take Arthur with him on his annual visit to some of the outlying villages, things don't always go as planned.

(Sapphic and Trans) Morgana has ways of getting Gwen's attention and can't help but reminisce on how the girl in her service became the submissive in her bed.

Merlin and Arthur get hit with a curse that allows them to feel one another's feelings, and once the knights find out they strong arm Arthur into helping them set Gwaine and Merlin up because they're sick of Gwiane whining about how much he likes Merlin. This goes about as well as you'd expect.

Uther knows that Merlin has magic and is a criminal who must be removed but how to do it when Arthur is too kind-hearted for his own good. (read the warnings!)

Arthur facing the unknown.

In which Arthur knows about Merlin's magic and has been dragged into his shenanigans as he desperately tries to protect Camelot against the evil sorcerer of the week. Unfortunately, this means that Arthur is now privy to Merlin's...less-than-convenient midnight escapades. He's not having a good time. [canon divergence, bamf!merlin, complete crack]

Merlin just couldn't get the hang of those stupid hand signals that Arthur kept using on the hunt. He suspected that Arthur was making them up as they went along.

When Merlin and Arthur came back covered in leeches, Gaius was pleased. He didn't have to order any more for quite a while.

In his few thousand years of living, Merlin never thought he would run into Uther Pendragon's child in the woods or that said child would want to live with him. What could go wrong?

“… you distract them”, but how. Maybe Merlin had another idea.

There were twigs breaking underfoot and sounds of shouting all around but it was so unclear how close anyone actually was to them. In the end though, it didn't matter how close the knights were. Arrows can hit their target from a great distance when released from a crossbow. (Set in s02e03. Merlin takes an arrow to the side while trying to help Morgana escape.)

Morgana watched as Gwen fell in love with Lancelot. How dare she, when Gwen was hers and always would be.

In an alternate universe, Morgana Le Fay is the beautiful and well-renowned daughter of the Governor Uther, and Gwen is a maidservant struggling with a grief she cannot put down. But when a dark secret of Morgana's comes to light, will the two find comfort in one another's circumstances? Or will the inevitability of fate and a chosen destiny overtake all?

This picks up at the end of season 3 with the full complement of knights... While Arthur struggles managing his duties to the kingdom and to his ailing father, Merlin's life is turned upside down by a mysterious illness and his mother's deepest secret. An enemy approaches, ever closer, with dark magic. Includes Lancelot, Gwaine, Percival, Leon, Uther and Gwen.

Gen fic, no slash: In a world where Uther went mad right after Ygraine's death, Agravaine has been reigning Camelot from the shadows for nearly two decades. Arthur, who has little influence at court, is tired of being manipulated. Luckily, the arrival of an insolent country boy sets into motion a series of events that might very well turn out to be the key to freeing Camelot...

In which Merlin decides it is probably best not to trust the man Julius Borden. Instead, he decides it's high time he trusts the ones who matter most. A 4x04 Aithusa AU, told from Arthur's POV.

After being injured in a freak accident, Arthur has no idea what this new life is. He has managed to get along rather well, yet continues to dream of old castles and a raven-haired girl. Morgana LeFay has always had strange dreams. When she finds the dreams getting overwhelmingly like real life, despite being all about the past, she runs into someone who changes it all
