Summary
“Gwen, it’s terrible,” Merlin said. “He’s polite! He’s kind, even!”
“And that’s a problem?” Gwen asked, dryly.
"I’m going to have to go through an entire week serving the perfect Golden Prince, and then go back to my Prince Prat, and I think it’s going to break me, Gwen. He’s going to get me used to it, and then it’ll be back to mile-long lists, and being called stupid instead of spectacular and how am I supposed to handle that?”
Gwen said, hesitantly, “I thought you liked Arthur?”
“I do,” Merlin said, sounding even lower than before. “I have to.”
* * *
When a visiting Prince visits Camelot, and takes Merlin as his servant during his negotiations with The Crown, Merlin finds himself being seen in a way he'd always wished Arthur would see him, and doesn't know what to do with any of it.Series

Got halfway through chapter 4 and decided to call it a night. It’s well written so might return to it but at the moment I’d rather stick to something more light hearted as opposed to the angst and drama of this fic (in a good way btw, it’s really well done I’m just a bit of a softy lol)

Summary
Merlin is mentally Ill. This is his... journey? Start to finish of... healing? That's the word I want to use. He gets better in the end. Please remember mental illness wasn't really acknowledged in this era. They didn't have a word for depression or a diagnosis like nowadays, but people felt that common ground of low mood, they would have somewhat known it existed.

Summary
----------------<3
"He truly is a self-destructive monster; the purest form of magic itself."
"He deserves it. Just one. "
"Why does he feel like this? Why does he feel like he wants to rip his heart out? Why does it feel like it’d be better if he wasn’t here to burden everyone?"
"why does he feel like he would be better off dead?"

Merlin’s life is falling through his fragile little fingers like sand.
Enjoy! <3

Summary
Some say Camelot’s laundry is cleaned by a miracle. Others say by a fairy.
Really, it’s just Merlin.
Merlin, who has no idea he’s become a divine cleaning entity.
Or: what if Merlin using that stain removal spell in Episode 1 of Season 4 somehow led to the formation of a fanatical cult, ritual sock parades and Arthur in crop tops?

How Leon Acquired The Best Servant In All Of Five Kingdoms While Arthur Cried by quotidian_void
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)

Summary
Merlin flung his arms up. “See? This is the acknowledgement I wanted. How much effort does it take to just say that?” He rolled his eyes.
Leon pursed his lips. “Well, how long will you be willing to offer your services?” he asked.
“You seriously can’t be considering it,” Percival said incredulously.
“Why not?” Merlin argued. “I’m happy to be Leon’s temporary servant. Although,” he turned to him, “just pretend it’s a permanent thing to Arthur.”
OR
Merlin becomes Leon's servant to spite Arthur.

Summary
Arthur was a battle-hardened warrior, trained to think in a snap and move quickly on his feet.
But at that moment, he froze.
He heard a cry of pain.
Merlin's cry of pain.
After a mission gone wrong, Arthur and Merlin, both terribly injured and barely upright, have to make their way through the forest and reach safety in Camelot. But even then, Merlin's still not safe, for the bonds of class and hierarchy put his life at risk, especially as Uther as king.

Summary
This is a series of unconnected works, which are based on a single, often innocuous line of dialogue or a tiny event within Merlin and then spiral out into truly ridiculous and absurd territory.

Summary
After a rather strenuous week in the forest, Arthur’s offer of his bath to Merlin blurs the line between prince and servant, forcing the two to confront the potential of a relationship between them.
OR
The one where Merlin & Arthur face their feelings after making out in the prince’s tub.
---
A/N: Though this canon divergence is set somewhere between end of Season 3 and early Season 4, I have moved up some of Season 4’s events to suit my storyboard needs. (ie. Gwen & Arthur’s relationship failing after S4E9 doesn’t go as written- this leaves both Arthur and Merlin a bit apprehensive about starting a relationship together.)

In a moment of sickness induced delusion, it wasn’t Leon or his private guards or anyone else that Arthur trusted implicitly – it was his servant.

Ambrosius. Merlin, Ambrosius: The Tales of Merlin's Other (Other, Other) Job by schiwalker

Summary
Merlin didn't mean to become the Spymaster of Camelot, honest.
It just kinda…happened.
It's not Merlin's fault that when the Purge happened, the previous Spymaster was a known (but not very powerful) sorcerer, and was also young enough to have not yet taken on and trained a successor. In all the chaos, Uther had had to be much less discerning about choosing the man's replacement, and his focus was, and continues to be, locating ‘evil sorcerers’ rather than literally anything else.
In the end, Merlin was the perfect storm of charisma, power, knowledge, connections, and skill.
“And yet, Arthur’s socks are still ranked among my top three worst smells ever smelt.” Merlin scrunched his nose, thoughtfully...

Summary
"I don't want to hear excuses, Merlin. How useless are you? I don't even know why I keep a bastard servant like you around!"
As soon as he spoke the words, Arthur knew he had made a mistake.
OR
A bad meeting with his father, Arthur retires to his chamber fuming. His anger seeps out with a slip of the tongue and slaps Merlin squarely in the face.
Arthur thinks he's done for. He has finally managed to push everyone he cares about from his life.
But Merlin... is not any ordinary servant. And Arthur is not any ordinary prince. Now, to only find proof.-

Summary
Merlin, a powerful sorcerer as well as an Omega, always believed that Arthur Pendragon, an Alpha, was the love of his life. Clearly, one-sided romances never last longer than a few years, especially if said Alpha only saw Merlin as a best friend. Sure, Merlin is meant to carry out a great destiny but did the entirety of his life consisted of loneliness?
In the face of death, Merlin is saved by a handsome stranger and the Omega clearly has no choice in the matter. Merlin falls hard for the Alpha and funny enough, he didn’t even know the man’s name yet.

Summary
Arthur smiled very faintly. He gave no reply, a testament even beyond his appearance to how weary he was. His eyes were bloodshot and lined by heavy bags, the lids sagging. He still wore armor, dented and grimy, and his chainmail was ripped. Over his right knee, his breeches were torn, and beyond the hanging cloth, Merlin could catch a glimpse of a crusty gash.
“Come on,” he said, moving the last step or so to grab Arthur by his shoulder and steer him toward the changing screen. “A bath and some food will do you some good.”
i.e. Soft hurt/comfort after a nasty battle.
