Summary
Shortly after coming to Camelot, physician’s apprentice Merlin learns that Prince Arthur is suffering from a mysterious ailment nobody is willing to talk about. The Prince keeps exclusively to his chambers and is in danger of losing his status as heir apparent to the throne. When Merlin finally comes face to face with him, the Prince and he do not exactly hit it off. But in spite of Prince Arthur’s initial hostility, Merlin finds himself determined to help him – with medicine as much as with magic.

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.”)

Summary
In which two unlikely paths cross in a way that makes it seem as though Fate had decreed it to end before it even begins—too cruel, broken, and crooked to become a story that is meant to be about love. To them, though, it was perfect, for jagged souls learn to recognize one another on a level no other could ever reach; they cannot be without the other, once they have realized what they were missing. But fairy tales are for children, and there is no room for hope and love in a war.
or
Someone is always out to kill Arthur Pendragon and Merlin rues the day he ever chose to practice medicine.

Summary
“Alright… Can you show me?” he asked, motioning towards Mordred.
Mordred eyed him warily for a moment. He looked like he was ready to bolt. Luckily, Merlin had plenty experience with runners. In the end, he let out a sigh and carefully lifted up his shirt. Merlin quickly tugged the curtains around the patient bed closed even tighter to assure no one could peak in at him.
When he turned back around, he couldn’t stop the wince.
“Oh, Mordred,” he sighed, “who did this to you?”
Or
Mordred has been making himself present at Merlin's emergency centre more and more frequently. Merlin's beginning to suspect there's something more going on Mordred's not telling him.

Summary
A loud knock on his front door snapped Merlin out of his thoughts before they could spiral too deep. His brows drew together in a confused frown. He wasn’t expecting anyone...
The knock came again, louder and more urgent.
Merlin set his food down on the couch beside him before standing up, growing worried. Perhaps it was a neighbor who needed help—the knock sounded frantic. His neighbors all knew he was a doctor, after all...

Summary
For centuries, Merlin wandered a world that no longer felt like his own. Plastic was flooding the oceans, the skies were growing hotter and the last traces of magic slowly turned into memories. He waited lifetimes for Arthur’s return, clinging to a promise that never came. When a mysterious stranger appears with an impossible offer, Merlin is given one final chance to rewrite the past: one more chance to fix all that went wrong the first time around.
But destiny is not so easily rewritten and it turns out saving the world, or Arthur, is a lot harder than it seems.

Summary
Arthur Pendragon is recovering from a nasty divorce; his wife Gwen, ran off with his best friend Lance, and left him heartbroken. Getting very drunk at his sister Morgana’s engagement party a year later, Arthur finds himself flirting outrageously with a tall, dark and handsome stranger … and then waking up next to him, and not remembering a thing. Except for the fact that he’s straight, so … what? Merlin re-introduces himself, with pancakes, and Arthur wants to take him on a date.
A frantic ‘Gay’ google marathon ensues:
How do you know if you’re gay?
Can you have a gay mid-life crisis?
Is it normal to want to experiment with your sexual identity after a bad break-up?
Can divorce make you less straight?
How do I have gay sex?
How do I find a prostate?
How do you give a blowjob?
Are guys nipples sensitive?
Do gay men like to be taken on romantic dates?
Do gay men like flowers?- Language:

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
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
"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
"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
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.

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!

"From now on when you encounter strawberries," Merlin told him, "Give them to me. They're my favourite."

Elyan wrestled a guard for his spear and hefted it over his shoulder.
"For Camelot" He screamed, then ran after the rascal.
