Destiny Is A Scam and So Is This School by GAMERBLADE
Fandoms: Merlin (TV), Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
25 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
Merlin has survived dragons, destiny, kings, magic-hating monarchs, and the emotional devastation of watching everyone he’s ever loved die.
So really, he thought, a simple trip to the wizarding world for tea couldn’t possibly be that bad.
He was wrong.
Now he’s somehow become the unofficial emotional support adult of Hogwarts, is being hunted by the house-elves because he keeps fixing castle structural problems himself, dealing with a basilisk situation that Merlin is “pretty sure he dealt with once already, back in the 5th century.” and trying to stop Gilderoy Lockhart from deciding that he is his "professional rival."
Merlin regrets stepping outside...

Summary
Мерлін пережив драконів, долю, королів, монархів ненавидячих магію і емоційне спустошення від спостереження за смертю всіх кого він колись кохав.
Так що насправді, він подумав, легка подоріж до чарівного світу на чай не може бути такою вже поганою.
Він помилявся.
Тепер, він якось став неофіційним емоційно-підтримуючим дорослим в Гоґвартсі, його переслідують домашні ельфи, бо він продовжує лагодити конструкційні проблеми замку, він розбирається з проблемою з василиском з якою, за словами Мерліна, він доволі впевненний , що вже розбирався колись у п'ятому сторіччі, і намагається переконати Гільдероя Локарта, що вони не "професійні суперники".
Мерлін шкодує, що вийшов з дому...

Summary
Arthur has a problem. He is now the 'proud' owner of a book of magic.
Arthur was forced to lie to all of Camelot to save Merlin, only to find out that he's been protecting a liar. But hey, just because Merlin owned the book, doesn't mean he's a sorcerer, right? Merlin? He would know.

Merlin Unrefined Is an Old Man with a Bad Attitude by RockyLiterature

Summary
The man blinked at him. Then, he laughed again. So, Dragoon did as he did best, he improvised with absolute chaos.
“I—what the…did you just throw the bread at me?” the man roared, very clearly trying to get a crumb or two out of his eyes, where Merlin had tossed the thing.
“I need to know where a certain valuable belonging to the Pendragon household is.”
“Wha—” the man began, though stopped when he saw Dragoon holding another piece of bread. “Don’t throw that at me again, you deranged old man!”
Merlin disguising himself as Dragoon the Great is as chaotic as it's always been, and poor Gaius is sick and tired of it. Merlin's having a blast, though.

Summary
After Uther couldn't take the mantle (or crown) of the king again, Arthur took the reins as regent. Which was fine, because no one could challenge the appointment of peasants to the rank of knight, and therefore Lancelot couldn't walk away again, as he was surely rather foolishly planning to do.
All right. They couldn't all be as brilliant as Merlin.

Destiny is Calling (Pick Up The Damn Phone) by Definately_not_a_cat, madasahatter (gaytriangle)
Fandoms: Merlin (TV), Sherlock (TV)

Summary
Arthur dies.
Camelot burns.
And yet, despite it all, Merlin survives.
He persists, long after his friends have perished, experiences the rise and fall of empires, watches man walk on the moon- but Sherlock Holmes?Meeting him may cost Merlin everything (Including, predictably, his sanity).
Or: Merlin decides to move to inner city 20th Century London to pull his life back together. Instead, he meets John Watson and Sherlock Holmes and- well let's just say his life gets a lot more interesting then he had planned on.
[The mature rating is mostly for some more heavy handed crime scene and murder descriptions, as well as some focus on mental health. Don't worry though! We add warnings in the start-of-chapter notes, and mark parts to skip.
It isn't nearly as serious as the tags suggest, we promise there’s loads of fun stuff in here too to balance out the angst (like ample sass and sarcasm; this is a Sherlock Merlin crossover, after all)]

Summary
When Arthur returns to Merlin in 2025, both of them are ecstatic. Merlin helps Arthur getting used to the world by showing him everything.
Or:
Basically Merlin and Arthur being weird tourists around the world. Lots of fluff (no smut, sorry, but you can imagine it, though:D), nearly no angst, just a cute tooth-rottingly sweet story to comfort your soul.

Summary
Merlin hated his neighbor.
It wasn't an epic hatred, like the one between dark wizards and the chosen ones chosen by a Prophecy (Merlin loved Harry Potter and wouldn't apologize, sorry); it was a more... practical hatred. The kind that arose when the neighbor started the washing machine at two in the morning. Or parked in his neighbor’s driveway. Or worse yet, jogged at six in the morning in front of your door just because he was the devil's most loyal and tried to damn people to Hell by stimulating their murderous instincts.

Summary
Merlin hated flowers.
Or, more precisely, he hated what people did with flowers.
Wreaths, decorations, ceremonial crowns—all the stuff that invariably ended up in his hands, because, apparently, “Merlin, you’re good with delicate things!”

Less a Path and More a Chain (Maybe a Gift rather than a Burden) by mazeeffect

Summary
Being two sides of the same coin is not enough. No, there also needs to be magic involved that binds them together so that Merlin can neither stray far from Arthur nor live his life in peace for a single bloody day.

Summary
Everyone thought the prophecy about Camelot’s Golden Age was grand and glorious.
"One day, a fair and just king will bring Camelot into its Golden Age… if they reach it."
Uther assumed it was him, with magic eradicated from the land.
Nimueh thought she was destined to guide him as court sorcerer.
Morgana was under the belief that it was her right.
The druids whispered that Emrys, the greatest sorcerer of all time, would be the key.They were all wrong.
The prophecy wasn’t about glory, conquest, or restoring magic.
It was about keeping Arthur Pendragon alive long enough to actually be king.
Which meant Emrys’ true, legendary destiny was not to wield unimaginable power or unite Albion— but to be the world’s most powerful, put-upon babysitter.

Summary
Uther, King of Camelot and father to Arthur Pendragon, was in mortal peril.
This, in itself, was not news; Uther, by dint of a recalcitrant, bloodthirsty personality backed by military power and an unshakable belief in the Divine Right of Kings, had made a great deal of enemies in his day, and, in truth, made new ones almost daily.
But this time was different, in that it was entirely Arthur’s fault.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OrAfter Arthur accidentally puts his father's life in jeopardy, he must ride out of Camelot, with Merlin at his side, on a journey with no real end goal in sight

Summary
“No.” Merlin wrapped his arms around his chest. “I wouldn’t even think about this!”
The other man gave him a tired look before trying to speak, only to be interrupted by Merlin.
“What would people say about me?” Merlin asked, spreading his arms. “I have a reputation to uphold! I can’t let them think I’m capable of…”

Summary
At first, it wasn’t a problem. At first, it was just a weight on his chest that made it slightly harder to smile.
Then it got just a little bit heavier, making small tasks harder to do.
It wasn’t the first time he felt it, so he paid no heed and went on with his days. He woke up bright and early, got Arthur’s breakfast prepared, did his rounds for Gaius, cleaned the king’s bedroom, scribed his speeches, laundered his clothes, polished his suit, sharpened his sword, saved Camelot from yet another attack—
He did everything according to a perfect routine, from sunup to sundown.
Until one day… he stopped.
OR
Merlin has depression fic!

Summary
When Arthur had (lost his damn mind and) ordered Merlin to leave the horses in Camelot instead of taking them on patrol with them, Merlin expected trouble. He did not, however, expect to be running for his life within two hours of setting foot in the forest, pursued by a large band of bandits—or for Arthur to suddenly go down, unable to draw a breath for no apparent reason.
Least of all did he expect that today, of all days, would be the day he kissed Arthur for the very first time.
To save their lives, of course.
. . . No other reason.
