    Summary

    There was a long moment where Merlin thought he was dreaming. Or having a nightmare. However, it became abundantly clear that he was awake by the simultaneous, gobsmacked looks on all the knight’s faces, and the fact he hadn’t woken up instantly from shock.

    “What?” Merlin croaked.

    Arthur dropped his arm, arching an eyebrow at him, “I said to pass me my crossbow. Have you gone deaf now as well as stupid?”

    “You called Merlin ‘sweetheart’,” Lancelot told him slowly when it seemed like no one else had the courage to speak.

    Summary

    As punishment for his crimes against those who practise magic, Nimueh grants Uther's wish and gives him the perfect, obedient son he had so desperately wanted.

    A prince who has no free will and must do as he is told is a dangerous thing. Luckily, so long as his curse remains secret, who would dare give orders to the Prince of Camelot except the King himself? As long as Arthur is careful, all should be well.

    That is until an insubordinate, impudent boy is put into his service and Arthur quickly realises his secret may not be kept for much longer.

    (Morgwen later)

    Summary

    what if instead of having donkey ears (e03s03 goblin's gold) arthur was cursed to be a small dragon (in my opinion goblins have a dad humour) and when gwen finds him she runs away, making arthur a bit sad.Merlin finds a small, terribly sad dragon and comforts it (outing his magic in the process), small dragon helps him defeat goblin.But defeating that trickster does not mean that arthur stops being a 'flying lizard'

    Summary

    hey, so if dying by lake of avalon makes you a nymph or other deity of sorts... what if arthur became nymph? or when he was almost drowned by sophia? What if merlin wasn't there on time but after he killed sophia and Aulfric spell was broken and arhut just died, becoming 'Lady of the lake'? And it works like a curse, a curse which merlin has sworn to break

    OR
    Arthur dies and comes back instantly (rather brough back by merlin with curse)
    (Sophia has guilty conscience and dies)

    Summary

    Arthur Pendragon and his stupid hobby of touching cursed magical artefacts and getting himself bloody cursed in the process. Merlin’s not prophesied to help raise the Once and Future King, no. He’s doomed to fall in love with a prat of a prince too silly to fucking listen.

    That’s it. That’s the story. Oh, well; there’s also the magical healing sex, too.

    When merlin came in he did not find a man, but a small, pratty bird, that reminded him of a certain royal family member...

    Summary

    When bookworm Merlin takes his uncle’s place as prisoner to a fearsome beast, he doesn’t expect kindness or hospitality. Or a talking candelabra, or a snobby clock. Least of all, he doesn’t expect to fall for the pratty, handsome creature that saves his life.

    Summary

    Drool pools in Arthur’s mouth, trickling past his tongue and hitting the ground with a grotesque splat. Followed by another. And another. He’d be embarrassed if he weren’t so damn hungry. He eyeballs the ill-guarded sandwich and wonders if he could sneak close enough to pilfer it.

    The young man raises his head and visibly jolts at the sight of the big dog mere steps away from him.

    Now, it’s Arthur’s turn to jolt in surprise. Because he knows this face.

    It’s Merlin Emrys.

    -

    OR: As punishment for being an absolute tosser, Arthur is turned into a dog.

    Summary

    The price of Arthur being born of magic was more than just his mother, it was his ability to touch and be touched. Magic destroyed his life, took everything away from him. His ability to be happy. It was something that would plague his life forever, until he met Merlin.

    Summary

    The folklore tales are wrong about oracles. Entranced by power, they miss the details.

    Oracles do not predict the future for the future is not a stagnant thing to claim. What oracles truly do is far sinister. Arthur learns of this when he is cursed to transform into a beast on four legs. He cannot lift this curse without choosing between his manservant and the king of Camelot. Bring magic back to Camelot, or kill his father in the darkest moment of the curse.

    The stories are right about one thing though. There cannot be peace without bloodshed.
