    Summary

    Written for The Melee 2021 on the Merlin Fic Discord Server:

    Merlin is an active member of the Gay-Straight-Alliance and he's also too mouthy and brave for his own good.

    *-*

    Merlin Emrys, Arthur thinks, is the bravest bloke he knows.

    Not even Gwaine, who runs headlessly into battle on the rugby field, or Elyan, who determinedly stares down whoever crosses his path, can reach the pure, unadulterated courage of Merlin: Merlin with the crazy mop of hair and the very blue eyes and the quiet, but commanding voice, who wears low-slung jeans and statement t-shirts that have earned him a visit to the principal’s office more than once and who sports shiners so regularly, you might think it was an intrinsic part of his personal style.

    Summary

    Merlin smiles, mirthless and grim as he bares his throat. “Come on, then,” he says, voice dripping with a taunt. “Are you not going to kill me, my Lord?”

    The bile is back. With it, nausea roils in Arthur’s gut. The silver blade glints in the dim evening light, orange and pink and shadows dripping off of it; a stark contrast against the virgin white of Merlin’s throat.


    They have never been good at talking, exactly, but if anyone had asked Arthur how he thought this would go, the answer would not have been magic, a dagger, and the release of year-old tension.

    Summary

    I love writing Merthur, but for some reason I rarely get the urge. It started as an accident, but now I lean into the fact that I post one Merthur fic a year at around the same date. They're all unrelated, so read in any order! Please enjoy ♥️

    Summary

    Where Arthur knows that he loves Merlin, but period-typical homophobia exists and therefore he does what he thinks is the best- he marries Gwen.

    Doesn't mean that he doesn't pine from afar.

    And then he dies and gets resurrected, and he meets Google.

    Arthur finds out that being gay is valid; that his feelings are valid; and 'sneakily' dates Merlin.

    They're cute lil babies and it all works out in the end.

    Summary

    Arthur bumps into him in an airport and is immediately smitten by the mouthy and irritable (maybe a little mean) Merlin and tries to soak up as much time as he has in a place where they could go their separate ways so easily. What will fate decide?

    Excerpt:

    “No, god no. My dad and I don’t really like each other, never been that close. He’s always liked my sister more and to be honest, I get it. She’s this headstrong, intelligent, compassionate woman who is the spitting image of her mother while I’m the one that killed my mother and reminds him every day of her because I look like her.” Merlin makes a noise in the back of his throat and Arthur suddenly realises that he’s made himself sound like a psycho killer who offed his own mother, “She died in childbirth by the way, I didn’t murder her in her sleep or something.” Merlin makes another noise like he’s trying to stifle a laugh at that."

    Summary

    Arthur is only 8 when he starts developing feelings for the older, but captivating, court sorcerer.
    Merlin, who was tasked by Uther to look after his son, does his best to avoid the (At first, cute, later on blush-inducing) advances the Prince throws his way.
    Until, after many years, he finds that he doesn't have to anymore.
    ---
    Based loosely on the actual myths

    Summary

    There have been sightings of a magical creature-man in the river near a village at the edge of Camelot. Arthur was sent by his father to investigate and eliminate the magical threat.

    Instead of a beast, though, he meets Merlin--a seemingly ordinary, if not extraordinarily beautiful, man who's able to change forms when in and out of water.

    Follow the pair, as Merlin & Arthur learn more about each other and grow closer.

    Summary

    The men step back, looking satisfied, but Merlin doesn’t move. He feels a tingling sensation go down his spine, and everything dulls. He can barely feel his magic, and certainly not any nearby. Earlier he could feel the city, feel the trees and the life in it even through the man-made structures, but now it’s like there’s a hole where he used to feel all that.
    The man in charge laughs at the fear on his face. “There you go. Told you Bors’ potions worked, men.”

    After King Arthur legalises magic, some people aren't happy. And who better to take it out on than a young warlock who's new to the city?

    Summary

    When Arthur saw that little black dress and those piercing blue eyes with that guitar, he was done for. He found himself falling in love with Merlin easier than he'd ever thought possible. Even though he was not out to anyone yet, he was willing to risk it al for Merlin.
    ~
    You would think that someone that wrote amazing songs like Merlin would have a great vocabulary in bed, yet yesterday he had only said one word, repeating it over and over until Arthur had to kiss his name from Merlin’s mouth. He didn’t mind of course.
    ~
    Basicly Merlin writes songs, all of them are from Taylor Swift and Arthur thinks having a great vocabulary and wearing feminine clothes is hot. ;)
