    Thick as Sorcerers by

    Fandoms: Merlin (TV)  

    09 Jul 2019

    Tags
    Summary

    Arthur watched, unable to fully comprehend the events that had seemingly just crashed and burned in front of him rather than calmly unfold. He turned to look at the other knights who only shrugged as Mordred sank lower into his seat, lips pressed into a pout as he picked at his food.

    “I…” He started and paused, taking a moment to gather his thoughts “Why do you want Merlin to like you so badly?” He finally sighed. Mordred stopped playing with his food, glancing up before looking at the door the servant in question had exited through

    “Because he’s Merlin.” He said as if that provided any sort of answer.

    Arthur didn’t deserve this. He did his best to be a good person. Maybe this was some kind of divine intervention saying he needed to up his charity game. He needed to give the lower town a bigger tax break or something. Perhaps ride out and save three more damsels than usual.

    "He has a point," Gwaine piped up as he inhaled another mead "He is Merlin."

    Or
     
    Merlin hates Mordred and Mordred is determined to put an end to that. Arthur is convinced that this child is after his man.

    29 Apr 2025

    Tags
    Summary

    It’s not like he wanted to give Arthur a favour. He was practically duty-bound, obliged as his servant to make sure that Arthur was in the best possible condition before going to fight in a tournament with the best of the best.

    Or Merlin's thinking about giving Arthur a favour at the latest tournament. It doesn't quite go as planned.

    A little salt in your drink by

    Fandoms: Merlin (TV)  

    22 Mar 2022

    Tags
    Summary

    Arthur, Merlin, and the knights stop in at a local tavern for a hot meal and drinks. They don’t expect knights from the nearby kingdom to drop by as well or for one knight in particular to take a rather special interest in Merlin. And, honestly, they aren’t having it.

    Basically Merlin starts a tavern brawl but really it’s not his fault.

    He can’t help he’s pretty.

    Catching Bees with Honey by

    Fandoms: Merlin (TV)  

    23 Jun 2019

    Tags
    Summary

    “So let me get this straight,” Arthur said, folding his fingers together as the man in front him awkwardly shifted. “You are under the impression if you win the favor of my servant that you will then win my favor?” he asked and the nobleman shifted again.

    “Well, sire,” he said “That is the common consensus among… the chatter.”

    “The chatter,” Arthur repeated and his mind flashed to all the kindness Merlin had received from other nobles. Dear God.

    Or

    Merlin has all of Camelot (and neighboring kingdoms) wrapped around his finger and Arthur is beginning to resign himself to the fact his servant somehow has more power than he does.

    With Eyes Wide Open by

    25 May 2024

    Tags
    Summary

    „M-Merlin?“, Gaius stammered, sounding like he was on the verge of a heart attack.
    „Yes?“, asked Merlin, puzzled.
    Gaius nearly fell off his chair.
    „Merlin, I can’t see you!“, he shouted.
    „What do you mean you can’t see me? I‘m right here“, Merlin replied. „Maybe you need to get your glasses checked, they aren’t working properly.“
    „Merlin, look down at your hands!“
    Merlin did. Or rather he tried. Because he found that he couldn’t look at his own hands because there were no hands to look at. His hands were still there because he could feel them and one of them was holding up his spoon. It was just that they weren’t there.

    Or: Merlin turns himself invisible by accident and finally gets to see Arthur freaking out about him missing in all his emotionally constipated glory.

    04 Oct 2018

    Tags
    Summary

    Arthur’s first realization that Something Was Definitely Wrong With Merlin was frankly his utter disregard for any sense of decorum. Honestly, they had a delegation of Kings here for goodness sake.

    The second, well, Arthur wasn’t so sure he could forget about anytime soon...

    (Or, Merlin intercepts a love spell and sets his sights on Arthur. Chaos ensues.)

    Summary

    Morgana has a plan. An absolutely fool-proof plan:

    • Enchant Merlin to fall in love with the first person he sees
    • Make sure that person is Gwen
    • Break Arthur’s heart and take away his closest friend in one fell swoop

    But even the best-laid plans can go awry...

    12 Feb 2023

    Tags
    Summary

    Arthur and Merlin have a special relationship. They always have, even when they were prince and servant. While many question it when first noticing, eventually it becomes an understanding in Camelot—and even among some other countries—that where there is Arthur, there is Merlin. And, where there is Merlin, there is Arthur.
    Or

    Arthur and Merlin's relationship as witnessed and explained by others.

     

    Also, or

    Five times someone realizes that Merlin is the Queen, one time Merlin realizes it himself, and one time he owns it.

    Hold My Heart For Ransom by

    Fandoms: Merlin (TV)  

    21 Jan 2022

    Tags
    Summary

    “You always told me never to comply with a kidnapper’s demands,” Merlin points out. “So why would you pay the ransom?”
    Arthur’s lips compress into a bloodless line. “They threatened to have you killed.”
    “An empty threat.” One they could never make good on, even if they tried.
    “I couldn’t risk it.”
    “But—”
    “Not over you.”

    Merlin is captured by bandits who mistake him for Prince Arthur's consort. They're not entirely wrong.
