Summary
"You've got a deal."
"Really?"
"Do I look like I'm joking? Yes, you idiot."
"How wonderful. Tonight, Uther will be in good health again. The memory of his illness will be gone for everyone but you and I, and all will return to normal for the time being."
"Thank you, Merlin. He means everything to me."
"Of course, Your Royal Pratness. Let's hope the price won't be too much for you. Only time will tell, I guess."
"Right. Then, when do we start?"<
"What do you mean?'
"You said you want my firstborn."
"Yes? And you agreed?"
"Yeah, so, when do we start?"
"Oh."OR
Merlin is the Prince of the Fae, Arthur is the Prince of Wales, and they both attend the University of Camelot.
Arthur's father, Uther, falls terribly ill the Summer before his third year at uni, and he fears losing his only remaining parent while he's still young and unprepared to rule England, so he does everything to ensure his father gets well and takes the advice of anyone who will give advice, Merlin being one of those people. When the younger man drunkenly mentions that the Fae can grant any wish for a price, Arthur jumps the gun.Based on a writing prompt by makeshiftdhole on Tumblr

Summary
Everyone insisted that Arthur needed time to process, to accept that Merlin was gone. The only problem was that Merlin wasn’t.
Arthur didn’t know how to explain it without sounding like Uther when he’d seen Ygraine in the well, like he was losing his mind and looking for ghosts. He didn’t know how to look at his court and make them understand that Merlin had once told him about nature, about the sacred connectedness of the earth, and asked Arthur if he felt it. He didn’t know how to say that he hadn’t felt it back then, but that he did now. He felt it all. He felt Merlin in it.
--
Merlin saves Arthur's life at Camlann at the cost of his own. Merlin can't die, so it's not that simple.

Summary
A smothering wave of ravenous darkness encroaches in a steady inching, a mindless slither of sharp teeth and blind want never satisfied. This same darkness took the rest of their family. Finally, it comes for them.
One month after Morgana seizes Camelot with Helios' armies, Gwen is crowned. Camelot almost knows a short period of peace, but for three small changes:
Arthur follows through on a promise to a murdered druid boy.
Merlin recognizes the insidiousness of complacency.
And the Diamair foresees their own death.In a journey that will take Merlin and his friends through the Veil into crystalline tunnels of golden magic, force them to revisit the trials of the Purge, and send them against Leshys, Shades, and dark magic itself- they all must decide whether they are brave enough to face their own fallacies and earn an age of gold.
Is Emrys born, or a title to be earned?
Do you rely on prophecy, or make your own fate?And Goddess, as they come for us anew, why do you remain silent?

It's 2008, and Merlin's in college while Arthur's stuck in the valley working for his father's company, wondering why the hell he relates to every single one of Blink 182's songs about being brokenhearted, when his heart isn't even broken. At least, he doesn't think it is.

Golden, beautiful, charming, pompous Arthur, drawing everyone to him like moths to a flame. She thinks of how he is the only other person in the world who understands what it's like to be Uther Pendragon's child, to crave the approval of that looming shadow and want to break free of it in the same breath. She hates him. She hates him. She hates him.
It’s only part of the truth, even now.

Wake Me Up When You’re Reincarnated (when I'm wiser and I'm older) by unrealisticdreamer101
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
11 Oct 2025
Tags
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.

Never Knew What We Had (Until He Was Gone) by Merlinfirstlastalways

Summary
Arthur was at his wits' end when he caught Merlin walking out of the tavern, which led him to make a horrible mistake, one that proved to be the last straw for Merlin, who decided there was nothing else to do but publically quit his job and leave Camelot in a huff.
Arthur never realized how much Merlin did for him-- or for Guinevere-- until he was gone; neither he nor his wife realized just how integral Merlin was to Camelot... and to their marriage.
*Story is complete apart from final editing and will be posted in full over the next few days. Currently clocking in at about 20k. Explicit in the fifth chapter.*

Summary
Summary:
“You’re not meant to hide in the shadows, Merlin. One day your words will shape minds… maybe even lives.”
In the shadows of the musty basement mailroom, Merlin Ambrose's fingers fly across a keyboard, opening secret worlds and creating unforgettable characters. His dreams folded away like letters never sent. No one has ever really believed in him, so he doubts himself.
But then fate arrives in the form of golden boy, Arthur Pendragon, who sees something in Merlin and the stories he hides from prying eyes. He challenges Merlin to put himself out there and risk everything for his dream of being a published author.
When disaster strikes and the world above collapses, Arthur and Merlin find themselves thrown together in darkness, clinging to hope, memory, and a promise of love.
This is a story of survival and surrender, of words that heal and wounds that linger, of love that dares to rise from the rubble. Two voices, two hearts, and a future rewritten in the light of the Midnight Sun.
