Summary
Arthur knows that he must be the reason that he and Gwen aren't able to have a child. They have a few fights, but Arthur makes a few plans, with Gwen's consent, of course, that leads to giving her what she wants and not losing her.
OR
Arthur sends Merlin to Gwen's chambers late at night to deliver a gift, not telling him that Merlin is the gift. Gwen is thankful her husband cares so much about her. Merlin spends a lot of time confused.
(Set near the time that would be the beginning of season 5 and taking a scenic route around and away from it. Canon divergent, so not everything happened the way it did during season 4, but a lot of it did.)

Summary
There were several long moments of tense silence as the gravity of the situation sunk in. Merlin had used magic, and Arthur had been awake. Arthur had seen.
When Arthur finds out Merlin has magic, at first, he’s angry, then he feels betrayed, then torn—ultimately he doesn’t know what, exactly, to do with his manservant. Of course, he could never hurt Merlin, could he?
Set in the middle of season 2 just before The Nightmare Begins, Arthur learns about Merlin's magic. This story shows several select episodes, as well as our own scenes following the canon narrative from the perspective of Arthur knowing about Merlin’s magic.

Summary
There are whispers of an impending attack on Camelot deep in the forest. Of course, Merlin is rattled at first- to warn Uther, however, would cost him his greatest secret. He decides to wait...and nothing happens.
Until the ground begins to crack. The crops refuse to grow. Trees and vines slowly trickle into the kingdom, stealing away the earth, and the kingdom sinks into drought and famine like they’ve never seen. Merlin longs to help. But to reveal his magic at a time when sorcery is so prominent in daily life, working against the people with a mind of its own, will certainly mean death.
So, Merlin leaves Camelot.
Days later, he returns with a clever disguise, and a plan (which does not involve falling for a certain prince).
(formerly titled It's Going to be Worth It)

Summary
"You've got a deal."
"Really?"
"Do I look like I'm joking? Yes, you idiot."
"How wonderful. Tonight, Uther will be in good health again. The memory of his illness will be gone for everyone but you and I, and all will return to normal for the time being."
"Thank you, Merlin. He means everything to me."
"Of course, Your Royal Pratness. Let's hope the price won't be too much for you. Only time will tell, I guess."
"Right. Then, when do we start?"<
"What do you mean?'
"You said you want my firstborn."
"Yes? And you agreed?"
"Yeah, so, when do we start?"
"Oh."OR
Merlin is the Prince of the Fae, Arthur is the Prince of Wales, and they both attend the University of Camelot.
Arthur's father, Uther, falls terribly ill the Summer before his third year at uni, and he fears losing his only remaining parent while he's still young and unprepared to rule England, so he does everything to ensure his father gets well and takes the advice of anyone who will give advice, Merlin being one of those people. When the younger man drunkenly mentions that the Fae can grant any wish for a price, Arthur jumps the gun.Based on a writing prompt by makeshiftdhole on Tumblr

It's silly and fun, not canonically accurate but fun.
Update: it's getting too ooc and canonically inaccurate, for example, arthur knows about merlin's magic now...

Summary
"So you don't know a lot about women." Arthur stands, strides over to his bed and flops ungracefully onto the mattress. "But you do know lots about men. Well I'm a man. Show me."
Merlin's definitely hallucinating. There'd been something in the wine because this was impossible. Arthur waiting for him to come to his bed and fool around with him.
He doesn't move from his spot on the floor. He only peers curiously at Arthur from beneath his heavy eyelids. "How will that help you know how to bed your wife?"

Summary
A series of Merlin one-shots that each mostly began with either a random thought, or a dialogue prompt. None are related, so you can read them in any order. Some are funny, some are horrendously sad, and several are angsty with some hurt/comfort thrown in for good measure.

"One day you'll get two helmets, so we both can be safe." Merlin chuckled taking off the helmet when they stopped.
"Yes well I have one helmet right now and your safety comes first." Arthur stated and Merlin had a palpitation.Or
Merlin was sure he hated Arthur, so why did he always feel funny around him? And why oh why did he always have to do something embarrassing? What the hell was Merlin's life?

Would you like to see Merlin in skinny jeans? Do you like Pretty Woman? - If your answer is 'yes' to either of these questions, then this fanfiction is for you.
While I took the main plot and some of conversations from the famous romantic movie, do not expect the story to stick to it too closely ;) Have fun!

Summary
When Merlin met Arthur, it felt… like just another regular day.
His friends from his psychology class had introduced him to their other friend, Arthur, who was studying computer science and had blond hair and blue eyes, and Merlin thought that it was just another small moment in his rather boring life.
Sure, he thought he was handsome. Merlin had eyes, after all.
But he never thought he would see him after that day. So, in his mind, it had seemed like a closed book on a truly unremarkable event.
And then Arthur had transferred to his math class and everything had gone to shit.
Merlin had quickly realized the closed book he had been so sure of was now wide open, and the moment that he had thought was insignificant was anything but.
The truth of the matter was this:
Merlin was most definitely, absolutely, screwed.
Or:
Merlin's alright with continuously pining over Arthur, until the day he dies. But, with the help of Gwen, he might just have the confidence to ask the man he likes out on a date.
