Summary
"That is how you deal with your problems! By politely stating your aim and waiting for your turn to come, instead of coming here with your weapons and no word of warning! D’you reckon it’s easy for me? Not only do I have to deal with the mess he,“ Merlin pointed at Arthur with his chin, “leaves behind him, but now I also have to deal with unplanned assassinations? This world has become a crazy place, isn’t that right, Gwaine?”
or:
Arthur's assassins seriously lack style, and Merlin tells them as much. The knights are stunned. So are the assassins. Also, Merlin's mad at Arthur, and so he is determined to ruin his day as much as possible. In the meanwhile, Gwaine's just living his best life (isn't he always?).

Summary
“I’ve gone soft over the days, you know. A few months ago, I would have killed you where you stood.”
“A few months ago, you did try to kill me where I stood,” Merlin reminded her, and she could hear the smirk in his tone.
“Oh, don’t be such a spoilsport. You did, too.”
“Well. A few months ago, we were in Camlann, not locked together in that cell, doomed to perish together.”
“Circumstances,” Morgana decided, crossing her arms over her chest. “That’s all it is.”
“Sure.” He was smiling again - she just knew it.
A bit uncertainly, she asked, “Was it circumstance that pitted us against each other, too?”
She heard him release a breath, then say, “I hope. Gods, I hope it.”or,
A few days after Camlann, Merlin and Morgana find themselves imprisoned in the same place, and forced to spend their days together.
Basically, this is just a pretext for non-stop Merlin/Morgana interaction once the Emrys reveal has been made.Bookmarked by Cheese_Bookmark

Summary
in which james potter literally gets swept off his feet by regulus black.
please note that i wrote this not expecting many people to read it and it was more a "spur of a moment" thing than me actually wanting to contribute to the fandom. that aside, i am not in it anymore and i am debating deleting both this and annoying, so if you want to save them, do so as soon as possible, as i am not sure whether i want to orphan the works or wipe them off the face of the internet completely, nor do i know when that's going to happen since i am still thinking about it. and in regards to that, please do not reupload this or my other story on any other platform. this isn't a threat, just me kindly asking you not to distribute it.
i do NOT own any of these characters and this is a work of fiction!

Summary
This is not the story of a prophecy. This is not the story of a child that had to grow up too fast, the hope the magical world falling on his shoulders.
No. This is the story of the children that were forced to turn into soldiers. Of the army that was born under enchanted ceilings and dark hallways. Of the laughter that turned into heavy silence, and the silence that turned into a terrifying wait.

Harry Potter and the Immortal of Azkaban by ExcaliburStuckInMyStoneHeart
Fandoms: Merlin (TV), Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
13 Sep 2021
Tags
Summary
When all the death eaters broke out of Azkaban, they woke a certain prisoner who has been in there for a very long time. Practically as long as the prison has been built, maybe even longer. Was he put there because he committed some atrocious crime? No, nothing so dark and dreary.
Immortality to some seems like a blessing; some people strive for it, kill for it even. But some see it as a curse of an endless life. Some people wish they were just normal human beings. Living a 100-year lifespan. Maybe even the wizarding 200-year lifespan, but no more. One man wishes for death. But could never grasp it. Until he meets the master of it. Or at least the soon-to-be master.
Coming into a new world with Dark Lords and young children fighting in a war, they need not fight. An old sorcerer joins the battle.

Summary
“Oh, I don’t know who he really is—no one does,” she says. “Although, some people think he’s probably a grad student doing some avant-garde project for a thesis or something. Others think the whole account is just an elaborate advertisement for Budweiser.”
Arthur doesn’t understand most of what she just said but nods anyway.
Squinting her eyes, she gauges his confusion regardlessly. “It’s someone pretending to be the famous sorcerer. See here, this is his most recent tweet.” At Arthur’s odd look, she clarifies, “It’s like a message that everyone can see.”
@asorcerersays: Guys why did he have to be so hot and like,,,funny? Like it’s been forever and I still miss him. He was pretty dumb though.
Arthur knows his face must look disgusted. “For everyone to see?”
Or, Immortal!Merlin goes on Twitter to complain about his dead king. Unrelatedly, Arthur joins Twitter.

Summary
A hand grasped his arm, sending a brief thrill down Merlin's nerves as he was forced around to face the person behind him. Armour gleamed in the firelight: supple chainmail glinted, and the solid iron of a pauldron curved lovingly over one broad shoulder. The length of a sword blade separated them. The point hovered, steady and sure, over Merlin's heart, braced to run him through, but he did not care about any of that. He was too busy drinking in the sight of the man before him.
He could never forget him, no matter how many centuries had passed.
'Arthur?'
When Merlin ultimately fails in his destiny, the fading remnants of magic that linger in the modern world fling him not just back in time, but sideways as well. He ends up in a Camelot where all his friends are alive, well and aware of his magic.
He ends up in a Camelot where his alternate self died almost a year ago.
Can he, Arthur and their friends still forge the golden age he was once promised, or will grief and suspicion tear them apart?

In Which Merlin is Tired of the Ministry of Magic's Poor Excuse of Government by stellaisnotamermaid
Fandoms: Merlin (TV), Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
01 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
Merlin wasn't entirely certain that staying with the Order of the Phoenix—the majority of whom didn't know him—was his best idea ever, but it definitely beat being out of touch with the rest of the magical world for the summer. A little push here and a little nudge there, and he'd managed to get Sirius to invite him, Arthur, and Draco to stay with the rest of the Order.
Or, Merlin was quite honestly exhausted from dealing with the so-called Dark Lord, but he still had to pace himself lest he throw the entire magical world out of balance. Even so, he was struggling with not showing up this pink lady from the Ministry of Magic. Was this seriously who the ministry deemed an acceptable teacher? She wasn't even teaching the students at all!
Edit: extremely sporadic updates, somewhat on hiatus.

Summary
"This merits something quite special!", the king intoned. Merlin had a bad feeling about this.
"You shall be rewarded a position in the royal household."
"But I already have a position in the royal household!"
This is the story of how Merlin did not get 'rewarded' by becoming Arthur's dogsbody and became an actual physician instead. Will destiny still find a way to unite the two to usher in the Golden Age they always promised us?

Destiny is Calling (Pick Up The Damn Phone) by Definately_not_a_cat, madasahatter (gaytriangle)
Fandoms: Merlin (TV), Sherlock (TV)
26 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
Arthur dies.
Camelot burns.
And yet, despite it all, Merlin survives.
He persists, long after his friends have perished, experiences the rise and fall of empires, watches man walk on the moon- but Sherlock Holmes?Meeting him may cost Merlin everything (Including, predictably, his sanity).
Or: Merlin decides to move to inner city 20th Century London to pull his life back together. Instead, he meets John Watson and Sherlock Holmes and- well let's just say his life gets a lot more interesting then he had planned on.
[The mature rating is mostly for some more heavy handed crime scene and murder descriptions, as well as some focus on mental health. Don't worry though! We add warnings in the start-of-chapter notes, and mark parts to skip.
It isn't nearly as serious as the tags suggest, we promise there’s loads of fun stuff in here too to balance out the angst (like ample sass and sarcasm; this is a Sherlock Merlin crossover, after all)]

Summary
In the midst of capturing a magical creature, Merlin is transported to a world where Camelot is home to thousands of magic-users. King Uther is nowhere to be found, Arthur is a prince again, and Queen Ygraine sits on the throne.
Merlin plans to get back to his own reality, to his own Camelot. To do that, however, he must have access to information that is inside a shielded castle protected by powerful sorcerers. The only way in is to participate in the Apprentice Exam and be an apprentice to a magic-user included in Camelot's court. Should be easy . . . right?
Conspiracies are afoot and Merlin just knows that, somehow, he is or will be involved. Just his luck.

Summary
Merlin hoped that if he helps with the worst part, then people will take care of the rest of their own mess. However, it turned out the secrets of the new Dark Lord run much deeper than anticipated and he’ll have to stick for a little bit longer this time. Unless the curious teenagers, nosy adults, careless creatures or infuriating portraits drive him nuts first. Well, let the game begin… again.
