Summary
He could burn him.
That’s what one did with sorcerers wasn’t it? The moment that marred his first day in Camelot and the moment that signified its bitter end, the one and the same.
But no.
That wasn’t fair to himself or Mordred.

Summary
Book 1 of the series.
Bad at summaries, but this is basically a canon rewrite where Arthur knows about Merlins magic from episode 1 and this particular book is only season 1.
Arthur wants to be the protective, scary boyfriend that everyone fears, but that is actually Merlin. Arthur is very quick to be intrigued, but Merlin wants nothing to do with him, which does change.
Merlin is trying to rewrite destiny and change the route, not the outcome, which basically wages a war against the Gods and Fates.
Merlin is Arthur's anchor of self-restraint, a light in his life, much like how I imagine Ygraine was for Uther.
Spoiler: Arthur falls first, Merlin falls harder.Series

When the war ends, Arthur finally captures Emrys — the sorcerer who burned Camelot and shattered the life they once shared.
Merlin is chained, starved, and defiant; Arthur is haunted, furious, and unable to decide whether he wants answers or revenge.
Between threats and silences, the past claws its way back.

Summary
Darkness crept in like assassins in the night. Sharp and dangerous and deadly, not at all kept at bay by the fanning of the flames Lancelot was attempting to do. With its knives and its detachment it dragged its shadows across of Merlin’s face as if it were trying to paint him in its coldness.
i.e after a long night of saving Arthur, Merlin has nothing left in him but the truth

Summary
Arthur survives growing up in Kanen’s pit, only to be sold into a far worse — (better???) — situation as soon as his master loses interest in him. Only, this new owner wants more than just Arthur’s obedience. He wants to own him, mark his body, and claim it.
Day 19: Ownership - Branding - Piercings (Both Non-Con Body Modification and Non-Con Sex)
** Warning ** This fic is not a happy, cute smutty one. It’s really pretty gross. It includes straight-up rape as well as piercings and branding being done to someone who absolutely is not okay with it. Please, for the love of god, read the tags before clicking, and even then, I was at a loss at how to tag this, so it might not be a complete picture.

Summary
Magic is free, Arthur is king, and Albion is whole, but something’s off about Merlin. Something in him is unraveling, twisted by a devotion to Arthur that’s beginning to ruin him. The court sees madness; Arthur sees the man who made him believe in destiny—in himself, the man he’s come to trust, to rely on, perhaps even love. And though Merlin grows harder to reach each day, Arthur still holds on—because he’s starting to realize he can’t bear to lose him. And he’s willing to do anything to save him.

Summary
"I know you," Merlin snarled. "Too noble. Too good. Too kind. You walk into death with your head high and never look down. If that is what you choose for the world then yes — I do know better. I will not let that choice be the end of you. Because you’re mine, Arthur. Not destiny’s. Mine.”

Summary
گالیاد، پسر پنجم کراکلند و شوالیه سابق، برای جرائم هولناکت علیه تاج"
-تخت، من اینجا تورا به اعدام با قطع گردن محکومگالیاد به زانو افتاد و گوش هایش زنگ زد.او هیچ گاه نباید سعی می کرد تا شاه را بکشد. تصمیم بی پروا و نابخردانه ای بود و نمی توانست باور کند که چه آسان تطمیع شده بود
او گذاشته بود تا غرورش بر او چیره شود و و حالا او اینجا در دیوان سلطنتی زانو زده بود، با اشک هایش مبازره میکرد و سعی داشت روی زمین سنگی بالا نیاورد و التماس می کرد تا جانش را ببخشند
و بدتر این بود که او به خاطر سعی برای قتل شاه محاکمه نمی شد، اعلیحضرت درباره آن چیزی نمی دانست
نه، محاکمه گالیاد به دلیل جرمی که علیه خدمتکار پادشاه آرتور مرتکب شده بود، بود

Summary
I was listening to the song Nothing’s Gonna Hurt You, Baby by Cigarettes After Sex, and this story unfolded before my eyes. What if Merlin went back in time, eliminated every enemy, and then walked into Arthur’s bedroom, covered in blood and pain — so that at least his prince could dream in peace?

Summary
Merlin always thought Arthur would emerge from the lake of Albion. He thought that once the day came for his King to rise again Merlin would feel it and come running back to Arthur. But what really happened was that Arthur was reborn and given a second life with no memories of Camelot.
Merlin completely missed out on 22 years of Arthur's life before he realized he was alive. (How did he miss that?)
Also, everybody else is back as well. -

Summary
Morgana was a spare, and she knew it. In a kingdom ruled by male-preference primogeniture, her position was always precarious. One thing she could count on, though, was that she would eventually be married off; whether to renew an alliance, forge a new one, or simply to preserve the purity of the royal bloodline.

Summary
He was on his way to the store when he felt a stirring in the air, something familiar from ages past. It made his hair stand on end, and he pulled his jacket tighter around his body. He had his beat up headphones on, blocking out the sounds of the street. He was uncomfortable, deeply, deeply uncomfortable. That stirring felt… significant. In a way he hadn’t felt since- since Arthur.
Merlin is flung into the past, dragged across time and space to a Camelot so like his own and yet not at all the same. After a thousand years, he must find his way in this new world, or run as far away as he can, if only to save himself. Not to mention that Arthur is nowhere in sight, and those that he loves are in danger if they even get near him...
Arthur dreams of a life that is not his own, flashes of a past that he never lived haunting him. To possibly find answers, he must travel to Camelot, and possibly see what these strange dreams mean. Not to mention Mordred and Archimedes hinting at a destiny far greater than him, and the balance of magic as they know it forever altered by a strange force known as Emrys...

Summary
Merlin is captured by Morgana after the events of Camlann. The battle was won by Arthur and his knights reigning a victory for Camelot. Lancelot isn't dead. Arthur never got stabbed by Modred, the prophecy turned out to in fact be incorrect. No one had learned of Merlins power, but they will, thanks to his screams in Morganas castle. The druids turn to Arthur to save him.
Remember when Morgana broke Gwen's mind with straw poppets? Well Merlin has it 100x worse.
