Wake Me Up When You’re Reincarnated (when I'm wiser and I'm older) by unrealisticdreamer101

Summary
Arthur died. Merlin didn’t. (
Unfortunately).Fifteen centuries later, Merlin’s still alive—older, grumpier, and done with humanity. Then Arthur returns, reborn as a rich, distractible golden retriever of a man. His enemies? Reincarnated too. Arthur’s memory? Gone.
Kings are out, influencers are in. So Merlin becomes a kid (long story), grows up with Arthur (longer story), and ends up his manager (don’t ask).
Reincarnation, reluctant friendship (maybe romance, very salacious), and one exhausted wizard trying to stop destiny from falling apart—again.
Includes some of Merlin's life before Arthur's return because history and travelling to other countries in history is really fun to write.
I update when I update :)
SPOILER:The romance only starts after Arthur's memories return.

Summary
Uther's bewitchment didn't quite go away, and then mister loose tongue licky-licky caught the King's eye. Maybe there's a kiss in the throne room. Maybe they run a ponzi scheme together. Maybe the goblin sees it as a perfect opportunity to get the ultimate gold (Uther's crown). The possibilities are limitless.

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'
OR
small-dragon-arthur-fic because i can
*it's a really old, and a really bad piece of fiction; I'M CURRENTLY REWRITTING THE STORY :P -

AU of S3:E3: Goblin's Gold. What if instead of possessing Gaius' body, the goblin took over Arthur Pendragon instead? Absolute chaos in Camelot castle is the result.
This story was co-written by my amazing writing partner, belle, who kindly gave me permission to post it (for posterity?) on ao3.

Summary
Goblin-Gaius gave him the eyebrows. “Sire, it would seem the sorcerer is trying to talk himself out-”
“And he even went to the tavern!” Merlin shouted, cutting it off. He could see the palpable disbelief on the king’s face. “Gaius.” Merlin repeated. “To the tavern.”
“That’s... most unusual.” Uther noted, turning on Goblin-Gaius.
Merlin has the idea to share Goblin-Gaius' very un-Gaius-like behaviours to save his own hide from the pyre... It leads to some other revelations.

Summary
Gaius is possessed by a menacing goblin that makes him do things he otherwise wouldn't do. He had already shocked Morgana by peering into her soul - it's not so surprising that he has figured out Merlin, too. Can you blame him for revealing those secrets to Arthur in an attempt to get Merlin into more trouble?
