Summary
Welcome to Merlin Kinktober, 2025! All fics are written and will be posted each day until the 31st. Fics average at 1.8k words, the total length is currently 57k, barring edits and additional content additions.
The vast majority of these will be bottom!Merlin/top!Arthur with the occasional switch-up. The knights are mixed in as well with a smattering of Generic Villainᵗᵐ and the tiniest splash of Guinivere.
These fics range from soft and fluffy to straight up rape. Many are on the line of dubcon, but only the unquestionably rape ones are going to be called out as explicit warnings in the description and prompt list. All fics should be appropriately tagged, but proceed with caution. If you see a tag I missed please let me know.
Feel free to request additional prompts or story continuations, though I promise nothing.
Enjoy!

Summary
Merlin is a Junior Doctor, Arthur is the Senior Consultant he's been assigned as his hospital mentor. He looks like Superman and he fucks like Superman and Merlin really, really hates him. Well. Mostly hates him. Hates him in a fond, ‘you’re annoyingly hot’ sort of way. If only he didn’t keep making Merlin come in his bloody pants ... not hooking up in broom cupboards would be SO much easier.
Diagnosis: Fool In Love.
Prognosis: Deeply Fucked.Thank god love is the best medicine.
(Said no-one who’s been in love, ever.)

Summary
Merlin pulls another bushel of wormwood from the jar and sets it in the mortar again. He rereads the medicinal text for the fifth time, and then slowly begins crushing the herb again. This time, he envisions folding his magic back into his skin in the way he’s seen Cook fold batter for cakes. Gentle motions in time with the turn of the pestle. The ever present buzz of his magic begins to fade from his ears as he adds drops of pine-sap and watered down honey.
It's only when his magic has subdued somewhat, that he notices the other person in the room.Arthur.

Summary
It never got dark here in the future, and he could never see the stars. Arthur missed the dark—was that stupid, considering the thousands of years he had apparently spent in it?

Unique and poignant take on Arthur's return

Summary
“Aren’t there others who need your help?”
“Perhaps,” Merlin’s response is immediate, “but seeing as the King has entered my tent, I find it prevalent to tend to him first.”
Arthur’s stomach sinks like a stone. Merlin only gets respectful when he’s hiding something.
They don’t hold secrets from each other anymore. Or at the very least, it's something they are working on. But old habits die hard, especially when they think it’s to protect the other.
Which means Merlin is hiding something he thinks will upset Arthur. Which also means it has to do with magic.

Summary
"Let him think I hate him. If that’ll stop him from risking his neck for me over and over again, then it’s a sacrifice I don’t have to think twice about."
—
Arthur finds out Merlin has magic. He also finds out how often Merlin risked his life for him and so, he does the only thing he can think of to protect him: banishment.
Hurt and angry, Merlin leaves and swears to not look back.
But, when two years pass and Morgana shows up at Merlin’s door, urging him to fill Gaius’ position as Court Physician, Merlin agrees. He really doesn’t know why, but Arthur is sure Merlin would do just about anything to get on his nerves.
Unprepared for the shock of seeing Merlin back in the castle, Arthur is forced to speed along his plans to lift the ban on magic. But between stubborn councilors, a mysterious plague, a still angry Merlin, and Morgana being Morgana, Arthur is fairly certain he’ll lose his mind before the first year of his reign even ends.

Summary
Everyone he trusted with his secret – Will, Freya, Balinor, Lancelot, and now Gaius – was gone. Arthur would never bring magic back to the land, and he would never let Merlin stand at his side the way Merlin had hoped he would. It was a cold awakening, years of baseless faith dashed against the fraying tapestry that destiny had made Merlin sew into his own skin, but an awakening nonetheless.
Merlin is shaken out of his obsession with destiny and his blind faith in Arthur. Arthur just wishes he knew how to get his closest friend back.
(For Merthur Angst Week 2021 Day 7: “No. You don’t get to talk.”)

A [Not So] Quiet Night by TheCourtSorcerer for AeonTheDimensionalGirl
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
25 Apr 2021

Summary
There had been a shift in the air that morning, a tug on his magic, almost a—a call… It was strange, and it made him wonder if maybe… Maybe it was time. Nothing had happened, though, and while he still retained hope, he found it dwindling. Perhaps he had been wrong, perhaps he’d not felt a shift. Maybe it was just his wish to see him again, that made it seem as if it were finally time.
Merlin worried his bottom lip between his teeth and looked over to the clock on the wall. 01:23 A.M.

How Merlin became Camelot's Spymaster, despite being one for years, among other shenanigans.Or
"From now on when you encounter strawberries," Merlin told him, "Give them to me. They're my favourite."
This managed to pull a sweet smile from Gwaine, who melted back into Merlin's waiting arms and kissed his temple in a hurry, before shoving a handful of strawberries into his lap and making a run for it.
Elyan wrestled a guard for his spear and hefted it over his shoulder.
"For Camelot" He screamed, then ran after the rascal.

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
Merlin was part way through his degree in medicine when war broke out in 1914. Not meeting the criteria to join up he became a doctor for the soldiers with injuries severe enough to be sent home with little hope—the stately home he inherited from his late uncle Gaius serving as a hospital. It’s here he meets a grievously wounded Arthur Pendragon whose scars are not all physical. As Arthur heals bit by bit in both mind and body, learning to walk on his prosthetic leg and all the frustration that comes with it, Merlin sees the good, the bad, and the downright ugly sides of him. Despite this—or perhaps because of it—they grow closer.

Take on Arthurs return where we spend more time pre-return than post. Arthur and Merlin are both properly messed up though.

Summary
"This merits something quite special!", the king intoned. Merlin had a bad feeling about this.
"You shall be rewarded a position in the royal household."
"But I already have a position in the royal household!"
This is the story of how Merlin did not get 'rewarded' by becoming Arthur's dogsbody and became an actual physician instead. Will destiny still find a way to unite the two to usher in the Golden Age they always promised us?

Summary
“Thank you, Lord Pendragon.”
“You must be under an incorrect impression. I am not a part of the royal family.”
“Now, now. There’s no need to be so shy about it."Or
Everyone assumes Merlin and Arthur are married so they, of course, pretend to be married when visiting some noble. Merlin ends up being too busy playing physician to find time to figure anything so Arthur uses his braincell as they navigate rumours, their consequences, and their feelings.-
