Summary
"It had started with a stranger who requested to speak to him privately. — The loyalty and love that he held for an old friend is what propelled him forward."
Merlin takes in two children. The Round Table knights kind of lose their minds. Gwen nearly burns the place down several times out of cuteness overload. Gaius can't believe this is happening. Hunith finally arrives to Camelot. And Arthur? Well, he manages the whole situation flawlessly, of course.
Featuring: A shoddy attempt to be partially accurate of the time period, in some of the least-important aspects possible; Arthur being entirely honest to himself about his feelings... eventually; Merlin finding the strength he needs to go after peace; emotional outbursts, mishaps, and conversations; a dog, at some point; magic being welcomed back into Camelot; and, perhaps most importantly, a whole bunch of love.

Summary
George nodded to empty air with a huff, silently agreeing with himself as he approached the King’s chambers to inform him of his presence being requested on the training grounds by a young knight he had been serving. He stopped outside the doors to King Arthur’s chambers, before raising his hand to knock. He hesitated when he heard the voice of the King inside, though.
“I’m lifting the ban on magic, Merlin.”
___
Sometimes, even perfect servants like George can't resist the temptation to listen in when they know they shouldn't.

Summary
“Do you want more wine, too? Come on, Merlin, don’t stand around so uselessly.”
“As opposed to sitting around uselessly?” Merlin quips, but he comes over easily to pour more wine into Leon’s goblet. He lets him, his eyes careful on Merlin to see if his eyes will glint again, the colour of fire against the midnight sky, so bright and fiery.
But all Leon sees is blue. “Thank you, Merlin,” he mutters.
Or: Five times someone finds out about Merlin’s magic and decides not to tell Arthur, and one time they realise that Arthur already knows everything there’s to know.

Summary
When Arthur blows the horn of Cathbdhah for the second time, the horn doesn’t just send Uther to the other world. It sends Arthur away as well – to a world where Ygraine never died, the Great Purge never happened, and magic lives freely at court. As do those who practice it.

Summary
At sixteen, Prince Merlin saw his kingdom destroyed and was forced into an engagement with King Cenred just because of his magic. Now, two years later and on the eve of his wedding, Merlin's crew takes him out on a final voyage before he's forced to give up his beloved ship and way of life forever in exchange for a life of darkness with Cenred. But it isn't long before the trip takes a turn for the worst and Merlin finds himself kidnapped yet again, this time by the unfairly hot and unbearably arrogant Prince Arthur Pendragon of Camelot, the very same kingdom with a reputation for making sorcerers’ heads roll. This should be fun...

Summary
5 Times Merlin disguised himself. And 1 time he stops hiding
Alternatively:
When Gwaine finds out about Merlin’s magic, he convinces Merlin to use it for funs sake.
He learned of the Dolma and Dragoon and immediately makes Merlin come up with new diguises.
And he does it, so Merlin can hear how Arthur talks about Merlin behind his back.
Which is surprisingly positive. And partly embarrassing, but Arthur doesn’t even notice how obviously he’s pining.
Merlin, however, sees it for the first time from the eyes of a maid, a knight, a royal, a stable boy, a barkeeper etc.
Surprisingly enough, Gwaine doesn’t even ask Merlin to prank Arthur. He just makes him listen.
And that’s how bitter and depressed season 5 Merlin gets healed from his paranoia and self depreciation.

Summary
To lose a manservant once may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose him twice looks like carelessness. When Merlin vanishes in the mines of Kemeray, Arthur's search for him uncovers decades of secrets and betrayals. But the sudden appearance of a baby white dragon bodes well for Albion, for Merlin and Arthur, and for the land that they will build together.

the dragon said it was destiny (but my dear, that was never enough) by mossclouds
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
28 Sep 2020

Summary
“What can I do for you, Sire?” Gaius asks.
“Is Merlin around?” Arthur says.
A pause. “No.”
“You sure?” Arthur raises an eyebrow.
“He is out gathering herbs.”
“Mind if I come in, then?” Arthur insists. He walks in, without waiting for a response. He is the King, after all.
Merlin is literally just sitting at the table. The idiot didn’t even try to hide. The druids really ought to find a better leader.
*******
Arthur doesn’t want to have to deal with the ways he is different from his father. Merlin is tired of secrets and pretending they don’t both know what is going on. And Arthur doesn’t know much about destiny, but he does know that Merlin isn’t evil, and Gwaine possibly is.
Anyway, the trees have seen it all.Series

Summary
In the wake of Uther's unexpected death, and Morgana's subsequent alliance with Odin, Arthur struggles with feeling unprepared to bear the mantle of King. Fearful for Camelot's future, he sees no choice but to swallow his distaste for Cenred and visit Essetir in order to seek an alliance with him. Arthur is utterly horrified when Cenred offers him a defiant, young prisoner, controlled by an iron collar, as 'entertainment' on the first night of his visit, an entertainment he is expected to enjoy. Arthur is frustrated and disheartened by Cenred’s crudeness and disrespect, but continues to visit, trying to win Cenred round. The only bright point in his visits is the intriguing young prisoner, with whom Arthur is forming an unexpectedly close bond, but one that risks being dangerous for both of them.

Summary
“You don’t seem like a king.”
Arthur lowered the scroll onto his lap and peered over at the child, curious and maybe a little offended. “Why not?”
Merlin shrugged. “You don’t sound like a king, for one.”
“And pray tell, Merlin, how is a king supposed to sound?”
“I don’t know,” he muttered. “Strong. Powerful.” Suddenly Merlin sat up straight, puffing his chest out and pinching his face into a rugged scowl. His voice pitched low, sounding odd in his young body. “My name’s Arthur Pendragon,” he imitated theatrically.
Arthur couldn’t help his amused snort at his antics. “Wrong," he said, returning to the scroll. "A king doesn’t have to say his name, the people would already know it.”
Merlin smiled, a teasing gleam in his eyes. “A good king doesn’t,” he mumbled under his breath, obviously still intending for Arthur to hear.
“The only reason I don’t ‘sound like a king’ is because I have to put up with all your insolence.”
That gloating smile grew on Merlin’s lips and Arthur knew he was going to lose this battle. “A good king wouldn’t put up with that either.”
