Summary
Merlin arrived in Camelot months ago, as a scrawny fourteen-year-old with nothing to his name but magic that would get him killed. Now he's fifteen, apparently made a good impression with the King and as a reward (?) he gets to be manservant to His Royal Pratness, Jr. himself, and is *also* apparently supposed to keep said monarchal clotpole alive long enough to change the world for the better. And be Gaius's apprentice in the healing rooms. And keep his magic tamped down enough to not have his head detached by way of axe, or skin removed, or burned to a blackened husk, or whatever else the glorious King decides is appropriate punishment for a sorcerer that day.
Now, he's only fifteen. But he can totally handle this, right? Easy peasy.Series

Summary
When Merlin's magic is exposed shortly before season 2 starts, the path of destiny starts changing forever. Now on the run with Arthur, Morgana, and Gwen. Merlin hopes to convince Arthur that magic is totally good instead of him and Morgana just being an exception. Morgana, meanwhile, hopes to convince him to usurp his father. As allies are gathered and Arthur realizes the injustice in his kingdom, it looks more and more like he will have to act in a drastic way. A way he dreads.
Meanwhile, Arthur and Merlin are growing closer and closer and might just have feelings for each other. Something they probably should be better about realizing, considering the example of Gwen and Morgana right next to them.
In a land of myth and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom now rests on the shoulders of four, their names: Merlin, Arthur, Guinevere, and Morgana

Summary
When Arthur Pendragon is sent by his father to buy out the struggling Gaius Zoo and Wildlife Sanctuary, he expects a simple business deal. Instead, he’s drawn into a web of secrets, betrayal, and magic. Merlin Ambrose, the zoo’s fiercely loyal zoologist, refuses to let the sanctuary fall into Uther Pendragon’s hands, and Arthur soon learns the true cost of his family’s legacy. As Arthur uncovers the truth about his mother’s death, his sister Morgana’s captivity, and the dark experiments carried out by his father, he must choose between loyalty and justice. With the help of Merlin and Morgana, Arthur fights to save the zoo, protect those he loves, and bring Uther to justice. Along the way, Arthur and Merlin’s relationship evolves from adversaries to partners—and ultimately, to lovers—proving that found family and courage can overcome even the darkest of legacies. Expect magic, animal chaos, emotional healing, and a dramatic showdown that changes everything and brings Uther to his knees.

Summary
Unsatisfied with his current life, Merlin takes a sabbatical from work and explores the British coastline to clear his head of life's mundaneness. On his return from Cornwall, he comes across a young blonde girl attempting to hitch-hike along the motorway. Fearing for her safety, Merlin offers her a ride home.
Upon entering the small town of Cam-Lott, Merlin makes a lasting impression on Police Chief Arthur Pendranyl and starts a chain of events that have him seeing the inside of a jail cell more often than not. When he isn't being an errand-boy or stumbling upon strange trinkets in forest caves, Merlin slots into the small town life with ease. Between summer faire's, camping trips and hiking, Merlin almost forgets that no one in the town -except one -has left the towns perimeter.
Why has no one left? Why are his memories feeling hazier by the day? And why, oh why, is there a sword buried in a stone?

Summary
A life for a life was the deal for Arthur's birth, what does Uther do when he finds out that the deal was a bit more specific than he thought? Why find the loophole of course! If someone born from magic can't have a child normally... well you just have to find magic that can... or in this case, magic himself!
From mood swings, to weddings, to assassins, to love potions and so much more, Merlin's pregnancy isn't going to be smooth sailing for anyone, especially not for Merlin.

Summary
“Merlin was too driven by grief for his other half that he turned back time, but magic like this always has a price. For Merlin to turn back time he had to give up his memories of that time.”
Or, merlin resets time to the day he enters Camelot and meets Arthur and looses his memories, but everyone and I mean EVERYONE remembers the past timeline
Or, the time travel fix it trope but merlin is the only one who doesn’t know about the past lifetime.
(Ignore that Chapter 4 is actually Chapter 3, i’ll fix it when I get the chance.)

Summary
Merlin sometimes thinks he's been cursed. Not only was he born with extremely powerful magic, he also presented as an omega. A male omega in a world run by alphas that would see him as a prize or trophy, something to tie up and forget about. And now, he's in Camelot, the most dangerous place for someone like him to be. Merlin must keep both of his secrets close to his chest and stay away from Uther and other foes. But why does he feel a pull towards Uther's arrogant alpha son? And why is fate so cruel by pushing them together every chance it gets?
Arthur was comfortable and... not happy, but alright with his position in life. Sure, he didn't always agree with his father's treatment of people suspected of sorcery, but who was he to question the King? Until a scrappy, raven haired peasant calls him out for being an arse and then becomes his servant. But as much as Arthur tries to hate Merlin, he constantly finds himself being drawn to the enigma of a man.
Will they learn to get along? And will Merlin be able to help Arthur become the King he's destined to be?
