Summary
Агент Артур Пендрагон – лучший наемник агентства, был специально обучен и заточен, чтобы стать исключительным оружием МИ6.
Ему ни к чему голос в наушнике, говорящий ему, как выполнять свою работу. Он не слушает упрямых гениев, у которых, по всей видимости, отсутствует чувство самосохранения и которые наслаждаются тем, что изводят профессиональных убийц.
Он стопроцентно не влюбляется в квартирмейстеров с запоминающимися сине-золотыми глазами и раздражающей привычкой спасать его жизнь.
(Или история, где Артур – агент 007, Мерлин – Q, и они оба все еще идиоты.)Series

Summary
Someone in the Camelot (Merlin) has rooted out a spy on the council. This anonymous person (who is obviously Merlin) put this accusation into a long letter, full of evidence from a thorough investigation and infiltration of the spy's circle within the staff. Arthur is remarkably impressed with this mystery detective (again, Merlin) and becomes set on uncovering their identity.
Merlin didn't think things would get out of hand. He only wanted to get rid of the spy publicly and legally, so he forewent the magic and decided to conduct a counterintelligence mission for months to gather evidence the old-fashioned way—like anyone would! But suddenly Arthur is searching for him, and magic or not, he learned a long time ago to stay in the shadows.
George is so tired. It is so obvious. King Arthur is disappointingly unobservant, and George cannot take this much longer.

Summary
“You know the usual me. The one that always goes with you when there's a magical threat, just to ensure your safety.” He hoped that his attempt at lightening up the mood would break some of the tension. Unfortunately he saw Arthur's shoulders tense up a little.
"Merlin, you are not riding out with us" Arthur still didn't even look up at the younger man, keeping his failing attention on papers, his voice trying to take on a nonchalant tone but his piercing gaze only intensifying in its severity.
OR
A different take on the episode “The Last Dragonlord” where Arthur didn’t relent and actually forbade Merlin from riding out with him to fight the dragon. Of course Merlin ignores him and tries to face it alone, although this time he doesn’t know if he will even get a chance to succeed, all the while Arthur tries to ensure his servant’s… his friend’s safety.

Summary
He stared out at the bright blue sky, the townspeople that passed him by, the almost pearly white walls of the Citadel and took a breath in. He actually did it, he made his way back home! Now Merlin just needs to keep everyone he cares about alive.
Sounds easier than time travel.

A fic where Immortal!Merlin waits for Arthur to come back until the world almost comes to an end and all magic has left the world (and entered Merlin). He decided since Arthur was so rude to not come back, he'd have to go back the prat himself. What could go wrong?

Summary
In the wake of killing Carleon, Arthur realises that this is not the sort of King he wants to be. So he asks Merlin how he knew about Agravaine, and to his surprise, Merlin gives him an extremely sound and well researched set of arguments, that he promises he has the physical papers to back up.
Or
"And what of me, Merlin? When you are dead." Arthur demanded, eyes pinning him to their proximity. "Do you truly expect me to let go of you long enough for them to lay you to rest?"
Merlin inhaled sharply, for a moment Arthur thought he would protest, insist his life was nothing compared to Arthur's, but Merlin only looked at Arthur, as if he was measuring the depth of his words, the give of his eyes, and Arthur refused to look away, he thought that if he squinted, he could see the stars in Merlin's eyes.

Summary
The Central Government had long decreed that love was an inefficient distraction, allowing only authorised unions for controlled reproduction. Every emotion was regulated, every desire smothered in the name of perfect order.
Everywhere, screens broadcast the same propaganda: the world as it was now was the triumph of the Golden Age, an era of peace and perfection achieved after the chaos of the past.
In official speeches, the Central Government, through the voice of Morgause—a woman as insipid as she was heartless—claimed to have restored humanity to its original purity, just as the gods had always intended.

Summary
Soulmates AU!
During the Great Purge, Uther Pendragon banished every type of magic, with the only exception of the one shared to all the crown, every crown of every kindom: SoulMate's mark, the one who would have always had your back, something more than a brother, more than a companion. And it doesn't imply romance, but only a strong loyalty and solidariety between the two people. -

Summary
Merlin is in the thick of his PhD thesis. The topic? Appropriation of Old English and Latin in Occult Practices. This makes him a perfect candidate for translating an old occult journal on behalf of Cedric Sigan, the world's most prolific Occult YouTuber (or so Sigan likes to say). Golden opportunities like this don't fall in academics' laps often, and Merlin leaps at the chance for a huge pay out.
However, when he attempts to read a section of the journal aloud, he accidentally summons a demon. Said demon refers to himself as a Knight of Hell, but tells Merlin to call him Arthur.
Now Arthur is refusing to leave until Merlin makes a contract for his soul. Merlin refuses, but quickly realizes he may be stuck with Arthur forever.
At least Arthur is nice to look at.

Marvin
. He settled in his head, and waited for his son to scold him.“
Mer
lin!” Arthur screamed not long after “Don’t you know how to knock?!”“Would you have answered, though? you never do, I just barge in into what––” He saw Uther and coughed scandalized, lowered his head and bowed “Your majesty”
The king may have sent him to the stocks for such an insulting tone, but something else caught his eye.
“Drop the bucket boy” he said, “show me your hands”. His voice was not as demanding as it was growled, tuned out by the surprising stains in the servant’s hands.
It was ink.

Summary
Balinor meets Hunith and falls madly in love with her. When Ealdor experiences a terrible famine, Balinor takes it upon himself to save them. He makes an agreement with the King of the Seelie (Uther); thirty years of good harvest in exchange for Balinor's first born.
Balinor leaves Hunith with the intention of never having a child with her or any other woman. The problem? Hunith is already with child.
Twenty years later, Merlin is fulfilling Balinor's end of the bargain. He just hopes that his fey husband isn't a complete prat, and that things go smoothly.
Things do not go smoothly.
Merlin was not expecting to have to complete seven courtship challenges before being allowed to wed The Bear Prince of the Seelie. Nor was he expecting his future husband to already be in love with someone else.

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...
