Summary
“I’m leaving.” Merlin says, because this situation already cost him his Duolingo streak, and he’s too tired to deal with Arthur when the food Gaius is serving him looks like it belongs on a list of war crimes committed by the Canadian soldiers.
“Where to?” His mentor asks, and Merlin shrugs, before going to his room and packing his bag.
“India. Gaius, I have decided I don’t give a damn, especially not when having to eat that bland food. I’ll be back in three months, make sure Arthur doesn’t die when I’m out.”
“Merlin!” And maybe, if he was younger and didn’t travel back to the past last month, he would’ve actually cared about the ‘eyebrow of disapproval’.
Or, a 1500yo Merlin gets zapped to the past during his vacation to Cuba. You’d think he’s happy to see Arthur again. He’s not.

Summary
“There have been multiple sightings of a herd of magical beasts from villages in the the Northern Plains” Leon looked harried “it seems they’re leaving behind a trail of complete wreckage. People are losing their homes, their crops. Wherever these beasts tread, it's being said that the land dies under them.”
The doors to the great hall open.
“Sire,” Lancelot nodded to Arthur in acknowledgement, walking in and picking up the tail end of the conversation, “I'm sorry I'm late. I was held back listening to some worrying reports from the East, by the Forest of Ascetir.”
Arthur sighs heavily “Are the reports of the same beasts?”
“Well no, not exactly…" Lancelot hesitated "The reports are of a different nature. It’s being said that the King of Camelot is staying in an inn near the Darkling Woods. And that he is on his way to Camelot.”

Summary
“Track him, corner him, subdue him… just like we would with any dangerous creature.”
“Not a creature, Arthur. Just Merlin.”
Merlin wasn’t supposed to hear them—but now he’s running, heart pounding, as the knights of Camelot—his friends—close in. They’d sounded so certain, so cold. He didn’t stop to ask how or why, he just ran. Now he doesn’t know where he’s going, only that he has to keep moving.

Summary
Uther abandons Arthur at birth. He remains in Tintagel and is raised by a good Nimueh and educated by Catha warriors. The forgotten prince becomes a talented fighter, but he remains lonely and unloved. He is kind and noble, and without Uther's influence he never becomes a prat. A new prophecy emerges, one that still involves Emrys. Once of age, Arthur leaves Tintagel and joins with Emrys; together, they discover their shared destiny. This story is more about character than action. It is about a journey to find purpose and love.

Summary
The door before him opens with a creak to gain his attention. It settles slightly ajar, inviting. So, with seemingly no other option, Merlin endeavors to escape the cold and reaches for the knob to enter. As he does, he catches sight of his hand and gasps.
Gone is the withered skin, the callouses and scars from battles fought, gone are all of the years added up on his digits. Merlin feels his face, then his arms, finds skin taught and warm. His body feels new, his joints no longer aching, his muscles strong, and his old wounds seemingly healed.
Merlin is young again.
A peal of laughter rings out from just inside the hovel to distract him. A familiar laugh.
Merlin pushes past the door, stepping into the warmth of the room. Immediately, he pauses at the sight before him. “Freya?”*Or, Merlin finds himself in Avalon.*

Summary
Bad luck always seem to be attacking Merlin. It's like the warlock just can't catch a break no matter how hard he tries. And when the bad luck results in his worst nightmares coming true Merlin truly can't cope. That is....unless apologies are made and forgiveness is given.
A reimagining of the episodes 'The Secret Sharer' (4x7) and 'Lamia' (4x8).

Summary
A modern magical comedy very loosely based on Ugly Betty. Publishing king Uther Pendragon has had enough of his playboy son seducing every female assistant he has ever had so he hires Merlin, a man he is sure Arthur will never sleep with. Merlin would be more insulted by this fact if he wasn’t so busy trying to juggle his duties, save Arthur's skin from ruthless fashionistas and keep his magic a secret at the same time. Expect appearances by oil-lathered knights, the occasional mad druid, a perverted Will and a mental caretaker who lives in the basement and keeps harping on about coins and destiny.

Summary
Hockey team captain Arthur Pendragon is determined that this year, their team will win the league championship. They’ve got everything they need to win: the perfect combination of players, and they’ve put in the training and effort to make their team a well-oiled machine. The Red Dragons are well on their way towards winning a spot in the playoffs when disaster strikes and their star center Gwaine is knocked out for the season. With their prospects for a replacement slim to none, it’s going to take a miracle to win the cup now.
Figure skater Merlin Emrys has put his hockey past, and the painful memories that go with it, behind him. He’s accepted his ‘twirl girl’ status and enjoys his new sport. So when Coach Kilgarrah enlists his help with the hockey team’s predicament, Merlin is not at all sure he wants to help. Especially since the team captain is such a prat.
Neither of them expected to fall in love.

As everyone should know, the combination of Gwaine, boredom, and alcohol, does not bode well. Especially for a certain manservant who hasn’t had a drink in over two years.
Or...

Summary
It says something about Merlin, doesn’t it, when they find out he can shapeshift and it only explains about twelve of his weird quirks.
No, Merlin, that doesn’t mean we’re excessively monitoring them, it means you’re a strange man who doesn’t make a lot of sense on your best day.
Yes, you have good and bad days.
No, this is not a good day.

Summary
A small ball hovered in her hand, shining with a silver-blue light. It floated there, getting brighter and brighter before dimming again. Wisps of cloud swirled at its center. It was pure magic.
And the breath was stolen from Arthur’s lungs.
“I thought you’d recognize it. He said it was warm. He said it reminded him of home.”It has been one year since Merlin's death when Arthur meets Morgana on the battlefield.
Somehow, between all the guilt and shame, he discovers that his sister knew Merlin better than he ever did - and ever would.- Language:

It Meant Something (The "It Didn't Mean Anything" Remix) by fifty_fifty for ingberry
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)

Summary
Merlin only has to do two things; one, don't let Arthur know about the magic, and two, don't let Arthur find out about the massive inappropriate crush he has on him.
Oh yes, and also find out how to break the spell he accidentally cast on them leaving them stuck together 24/7, which makes the first two things so much harder to stick to.

Summary
The first time Merlin hears about it, he’s very little, young enough that most adults will forget he’s in the room if he’s quiet and doesn’t draw too much attention to himself.
The next time Merlin had heard about it, he was being very confused as to why his ‘crush’ on one of the girls in the village didn’t count.
It doesn't stop happening, but it does get better.

Summary
By some magical accident, an older Merlin steps into Camelot, 10 years ago. Only now, he's buff and good with a sword, looks good in armour, is a fucking assassin, and claims to be Arthur's husband.
Or
"The crest on it means you're a member of the royal family." said Leon, red-faced and about to burst a vein or two, making them all jump.
"Something like that." Merlin grinned.
"What?" Arthur choked out.
"Oh we're married. Did I forget to mention?" Merlin asked with an innocent tilt of his head
Or
"Relax, darling. I've been begging His Royal Prat-ness for a vacation for ages. I'm starting to think you actually want to see me on my hands and knees."
Arthur dropped his sword with a clang, felt the need to lie down for a while. Merlin laughed and took a hold of his bicep. "Come." He said. "I'm dying to see everyone."
And Arthur let himself be man-handled and dragged along like a boy toy. Because this was his life now.

Summary
When a sorcerer captures Arthur, the Knights, and Merlin, he seeks revenge for Uther's wrongdoings by wanting to give Arthur a potion that will make him endure the pain of the worst wound received by everyone in their party, while everyone gets to see the vision of the wound being inflicted. 7 painful wounds. It's too much for one man.
Merlin knows he can't let his King take that. Will the sorcerer let him take his place? What happens when the Knights see Merlin's most painful wound? How does one survive a Serket sting?

Summary
“You’re a sorcerer,” Arthur said, his voice barely audible. “And you’ve been using magic since the day you arrived in Camelot.”
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
The room swayed. His lungs felt like they were folding in on themselves.
He couldn’t. He–
He wasn’t meant to find out like this.
“Nothing to say? Perhaps a pyre should suffice for your crimes against this kingdom.”
His feet were running before the words fully sank in.

or: a curse makes merlin hear what he thinks everyone would think of him if they knew the truth.
