Summary
Merlin never lets Arthur see him bare. He’s certain the scars he carries are shameful, proof of his failures and weaknesses.
But Arthur has other ideas. He’s determined to show Merlin just how much every mark means to him.

Summary
Arthur is relieved when Balinor the Dragonlord agrees to help, but dismayed when he refuses to come back to Camelot. Instead, Arthur is stuck waiting in the middle of nowhere while Balinor calls the dragon. To make matters worse, Arthur’s idiot manservant clearly has a massive crush on the guy: despite him being a grumpy, straggly, cave-dwelling sorcerer, who makes terrible cabbage pottage, Merlin hasn’t taken his eyes off him! Arthur will tolerate this nonsense for a couple of days, but only because he must save Camelot.

Summary
Hi, I'm Living and these are my Merthur fics. duh :)
If you like Arthur being down bad (and oftentimes stupid) and Merlin being god-levels of powerful, featuring the caring and comic-relief cast of knights, then you're in luck.
(I watched BBC Merlin for the first time in 2016, and I think Merlin is one of the best fictional characters of all time. Much of this is self-indulgent, Merlin-getting-the-respect-he-deserves kind of stuff. If you like strong/brave/wise/powerful Merlin, who handles everything on his own because he loves his friends too much to endanger them, then you'll like these. Also a lot of humor, or at least an attempt at it. Go nuts :)

Summary
Five knights sit around a fire, trading stories of glory and honor. Only one tells the truth—and it isn't about the king.
Gwaine never wanted to be a knight. He stayed for a reason no one expected.
(Or: The night the Round Table finally sees the man who's been holding it together all along.)

Summary
The arrival of guests from another kingdom takes the servants of Camelot's castle in a flurry. And not just by the level of work. Due to the difference of stations, a voice to stand up for themselves at the cruel hands of arrogant and abusive nobles is often buried. Such is the same for Merlin.
Fortunately, his friends notice and are there to help.

Summary
In his paranoia after Morgana’s betrayal, Uther is convinced the outer kingdoms are falling into magical ways again. Arthur is sent with his knights to the far kingdom of Deira, to check if their alliance with Camelot is still in place. During the trip there, Arthur learns that Merlin is keeping very important things from him.
But Deira has been cursed with something so terrible that only the Once and Future King can lift it. Arthur wishes to help. Things get even more complicated when Merlin saves Arthur and King Yffi from a falling tower that might have killed not just them, but a lot of children. Not his good intentions, nor the fact that he’s Arthur’s manservant, will save him from the pyre.
Or:
The amazing (and long) story of the Once and Future King and his Sorcerer starting to unite Albion (told without skipping a single uncomfortable moment of political craft, truth admissions, awkward love confessions and magical sex.)- Language:

Summary
No servant should have so many scars. When a visiting knight sees Merlin's, he can only come to one conclusion: King Arthur is a violent abuser, and Merlin must be protected at all costs.

Summary
After a sudden encounter with Morgana, Merlin is severely injured, only managing to survive by calling the Great Dragon. However, he must return to Camelot still affected and somehow hide this from Arthur. But what's another secret on top of so many others?
Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin, and the whole idea of how Merlin's blindness works is from TA Barron's Merlin series (which is amazing and everyone should read)

“I guess I just wish you had trusted me.”
“I do trust you, Arthur. Why do you think I gave you the only weapon that can kill me.”
Arthur’s hand went to rest on the hilt of his sword. “It could kill Morgana.” “It was forged in a dragon’s breath.”
________________________
“I can’t wait to fall in love with you all over again.” They kissed again, but this time Merlin pulled back sharply. “Wait, love?!”
________________________
“If I end up getting replaced by an owl, I will cry. I’m comfortable enough in my masculinity to do so.”

Summary
A life for a life was the deal for Arthur's birth, what does Uther do when he finds out that the deal was a bit more specific than he thought? Why find the loophole of course! If someone born from magic can't have a child normally... well you just have to find magic that can... or in this case, magic himself!
From mood swings, to weddings, to assassins, to love potions and so much more, Merlin's pregnancy isn't going to be smooth sailing for anyone, especially not for Merlin.

Summary
In the weeks following Sophia and Aulfric's departure from Camelot and Arthur's nonsensical attempt at elopement, the prince begins having trouble sleeping. Dreams of magic, of Avalon, of Merlin being flung into his bedroom wall by Aulfric's staff, plague him every night. They're just dreams, and they can't be real, but Arthur can't help but feel like they're more memories than anything else.
Either way, something happened that Merlin is refusing to tell him, and Arthur intends to figure it out.

Summary
The Knights go hunting and as per-usual get ambushed. Merlin must save Arthur no matter what (because he's in love). We love Gwaine. He is the hero of this story ngl, the man deserves love.
I wrote this with my best friend, so on behalf of the both of us, we hope you enjoy. Because sometimes everyone needs a little bit of hurt and comfort.... and to laugh at the knights actually being Merlin's not Arthur's. -

When Merlin returns to Arthur after barely surviving the serket sting, he is met with unexpected concern instead of their usual banter.
Or, how the conversation in 3x02 The Tears of Uther Pendragon (Part 2) could have gone.

And then there’s Gwaine.
(five times gwaine didn't find out about merlin's magic and one time he did)

Summary
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...
Merlin gets drunk and ends up revealing too much

Summary
Lord McGraffin, head treasurer of Camelot, was a diligent man. He handled Camelot’s finances with great care and took pride in his dedicated work. Not one servant on his roster had ever been paid even a single day too late.
So imagine his surprise when one fateful day the king’s manservant came to him and demanded wages for more than 10 years worth of unpaid service to the crown.
