Summary
When Merlin first arrives in Camelot, Prince Arthur is away from the citadel. Merlin starts working for Gaius full-time and doesn’t give the Prince or the mad ramblings of a certain dragon any further thought. But destiny always finds a way: Four weeks into Merlin’s apprenticeship, an injured man walks into the infirmary and Merlin, oblivious to the fact it’s the Prince, treats him like a fellow peasant. The two of them strike up a rather unconventional friendship…

Summary
Another kingdom’s visit to Camelot starts off well enough, but quickly devolves when all the women in the castle begin falling head over heels for Arthur. At first, it seems to only affect the ladies from the visiting party, but soon even Gwen can’t stop talking about Arthur’s pretty blond hair as she tries to bombard him with flowers at every training match. Merlin hasn’t any reason to worry—except that he does, because all three of his secrets have the potential to be unraveled in one fell swoop.

The high battlements are a perfect place to hide and just think – especially when the night is dark and bitterly cold with the promise of snowfall. That’s where Merlin finds him, and Merlin always finds him.
There’s angst and name-calling and then boy!kissing, of course.-

Summary
It's bad enough that Arthur is going to have to get a stupid fucking stats tutor because he spends all of his lectures staring at the back of Merlin's neck and wondering what sort of noises he'd make if Arthur scraped his teeth against all that pale skin. But now, now he's supposed to tolerate Merlin showing up at his door early in the morning with snowflakes clinging to his eyelashes? Now he's supposed to spend four hours alone in a car with him, and fuck all, there is no way Arthur comes out of this without making some manner of arse out of himself.

Summary
“I need a fake boyfriend.” Arthur peered up at Merlin. Silence stretched between them. Then, the penny dropped.
“No,” Merlin said. “Absolutely not.”
“Please?”
“No! You’re my best mate, it would be weird.”
“I already told him my boyfriend is a biologist by the name of Marvin who works in a science lab studying animals.”
“I’m touched you modelled your fake boyfriend after me, but I’m a cryptozoologist studying magical creatures. And my name is not Marvin.”
“I’ll tell him he misheard.”Uther wants to see his son married. Arthur doesn't want to marry any of the women he's set up with (or any woman at all). Merlin agrees to a stupid, stupid plan.

Summary
Merlin Emrys has been inherently clumsy since birth, and he and everyone else around him has grown tired of it. Arthur Pendragon seems to be Merlin's opposite in every way - graceful, eloquent, and brilliantly gorgeous. To Merlin, he seems absolutely perfect...until he doesn't.

Summary
When Uther banishes Arthur from Camelot, Arthur is certain it's the end of him and everything he had to offer to the world.
Enter Merlin and the ragtag group of misfits he and Arthur collect on an adventure that takes them across the entire kingdom. Grappling with who he is now and who he will become, Arthur embarks on a journey of self-discovery, friendship, fate, and what it truly means to be a king of prophecy.
“Merlin??”
Merlin drops the reins and spins around, “Arthur!”
Merlin beams. Arthur’s eye twitches.
“What, exactly, are you doing here?”
Merlin makes a face, “What does it look like? I stole some horses.” His lip quirks up, “And some of cook’s pies. But that was just because she’s been such a harpy all this time and she deserved it.”

Summary
“It was never supposed to end like this. You were both meant for such happier things.”
“I was always meant to be a tragedy.” Arthur disagrees.
“Dearest darling, you are the king of kings, this will not be your end.”
With Arthur's death comes a single chance to go back to the beginning and save everyone he's ever loved. Seeing home in Merlin's eyes and a hope for a better world in Morgana's, Arthur knows what he must do.
Only bringing magic back to Camelot will prevent the future he knows is coming from happening, but in his way is the only mountain he's never been able to climb; his father won't change for anyone, not even for his son.

“You’re the only person in the world that I think really sees me Merlin.” Arthur confesses. "Forgive me then, for wishing harm on the people who would hurt you for just being who you are.”

Summary
Merlin has been waiting for a particular dead prat to return to him for 1500 years, and quite frankly he's sick of it. When one day, in the modern era, he happens to stumble across a series of paintings of Camelot that are far more accurate than they should be, it leads him to a reincarnated Arthur Pendragon. Arthur, who's just as infuriatingly lovable as Merlin remembers, and also very confused as to why he's suddenly meeting the strange man that has been appearing in his dreams of medieval castles and faraway lands for as long as he can remember. Can Merlin manage to show Arthur what his dreams mean and make him remember?

Summary
It's not a sacrifice or a gift to be given away--more a fact, a solid stone wall he's been moving towards all along, Merlin knows. It would have always ended like this.
