Summary
Arthur could see his father glaring down - face red and eyes narrowed as he looked at Merlin with clear distaste.
"Once this over, sorcerer...I’ll burn you."
"You’ve already tried that," Merlin’s voice answered and Arthur had to bite his fist to keep from making any noise. “You need to accept you can’t kill me… Hand me that blanket, please.”
“I’m sure there must be some method… Beheading?”
“No, we tried that.”
“Hanging?”
“I just sort of... Swung there, remember?”
There was another pause.
“I should have made you keep that dragon below the castle so I could feed you to it.”
“Kilgharrah? He won’t eat me, but if you want to torture me than making me listen to his nonsense for an hour might do it.” Merlin said and there was a soft sigh from the other end of the room. “I’m glad you agreed to help me though. Usually I have to do the grunt work of saving Arthur myself.”
“I can’t wait to kill you.”
Or
Uther finds out about Merlin’s magic, but can’t seem to kill him. Merlin is just trying to protect Arthur. They become a begrudgingly effective duo. Arthur doesn't understand why they think he isn't noticing this.

Summary
Merlin may not know much, but he knows not to believe any old prophecy a dragon tells him, especially without proof. He came to Camelot to determine his own fate, not to blindly follow his supposed destiny.
He even turns down King Uther's offer to work as a servant for the insufferable Prince Arthur, but they just can't seem to stop crossing paths.
The last thing Merlin wanted while he was on his hands and knees with his head in a bush, searching for the elusive snake, was to hear Arthur's pompous voice from behind him.
"What are you doing?" scoffed the prince.
"You haven't seen a snake around here, by any chance?" asked Merlin, extracting himself from the bush with difficulty and sitting back on his heels.
"I'm sorry, one of my knights is in need of medical attention, and the physician's assistant is searching for a new pet?"

From the first song to the first kiss, there were so many moments along the way that made Wen and Olivia inevitable. It was a winding journey, but it was worth the destination. (Missing scenes/alternate perspectives/post-canon)

In Which A Young Woman Approaches Camelot To Report A Monster Attack
* ** ** ** *
“Well, Merlin—” Bessie nearly giggled; the King had a strange way of saying Merlin’s name that felt as if he were compacting an entire speech conveying a wealth of affection, exasperation, trust, and something else she couldn’t properly name into just two syllables— “Do you know what this thing is, or do we need to fetch the books?”
“A basilisk, if we’re lucky,” Merlin said at once. “Or a cockatrice if we aren’t. You’re lucky it was newly-born, or it would have changed you completely into stone.”

Just Between Us, I Remember It by TheDreamPriestess for FathomMeOut

Summary
Arthur knew what a Sigil represented; a concept he had been introduced to as a young prince, late on those evenings his father could stand his presence for more than a moment. A marriage proposal of the deepest and most romantic kind, a callback to the traditions of old – especially along the Pendragon line.
As such, his message was clear.
He was going to marry Merlin.
No matter what it took.

Summary
“You’re horrible,” Morgana hisses at him quietly enough than only he and Gwen will hear, tugging at his cloak until it sits better across his shoulders. Her face never changes from her pleasant smile. Terrifying. “Straighten your back, you will not slouch! Gwen, tell him not to slouch!”
“Your Majesty,” Gwen says sweetly, “please do not slouch.”
“I highly doubt he’ll be looking at me,” Arthur drawls, “when he’s come all this way to marry you.”
(Arthur loses his father's trust, but he gains something better.)

Not only it was funny, it was convenient: If they pretended they did they things they did because they were in a relationship, no one would think to be suspicious of the magic and the crimes.
or: five times they were "caught" + one time they were actually caught.

Summary
"Merlin, who was your first kiss?" Arthur asks the innocent enough question one night, wholly unaware of the life-altering answer he's about to receive.
"Oh um," his servant blushes a very interesting shader of scarlet from his seat by his side. Merlin refuses to meet his eye. "It’d’ have to be Gwen, I guess."
A night of merry comradery with his knights, his wife, and his servant leads to some interesting revelations for Arthur.

Arthur gives Merlin a plastic ring as a joke. But what nobody knows is how much Merlin really likes wearing it. Modern AU with lots of pining.

Summary
“There is no way in hell I’m dressing up as a woman,” Merlin huffed, crossing his arms stubbornly as his breath fogged up in the cold air.
“Come on, you have to!” Gwaine pleaded, pulling his best puppy eyes.
“Why? So that Arthur can call me a girl some more?”
The prince made a face. “First of all, calling you a girl has nothing to do with your feminine figure and everything to do with how you’re an absolute pansy!” Percival laughed, earning a threatening glare from Merlin. “Second of all, you’re not doing this for me, you’re doing this for the good of all of us.”
“Hear that, Merlin?” Gwaine piped up. “All of us. This is the future of Camelot we’re talking about! We’re going to catch our deaths out here if you don’t do it!”
“Gwaine,” Leon sighed, dragging a hand down his face. “Please stop.”
Merlin grinned “Thank you Leon—"
“You’re not going to convince him by pressuring him or taunting him.” The red headed knight turned to Merlin, a pleading expression on his face. “We request this of you humbly, Merlin. Please dress up as a woman.”

Based on a tumblr post:
"achillesuwuFollow
Me thinking that it would be really funny (why nearly all of my most begin like that —) if Freya comes to Camelot as a Druid/magical representative and Arthur, the Knights and Gwen know 3 things about her
1. She is married
2. She is really powerful and can kick your ass
3. If she isn't in an ass-kicking mood her very very very powerful immortal husband will handle the ass kicking
They absolutely do not know about Freylin and they all are sweating buckets when they see Merlin successfully flirting with her at the welcoming feast.
( Meanwhile Merlin and Freya enjoying some role-play : so~ my name is merlin 🥰 Oh, nice to meet you, I'm Freya.🥰)
Basically the Knights, Gwen, Arthur (and even maybe Gaius for extra fun) trying VERY hard to stop Merlin and failling miserably "

Summary
When he was just a boy, Arthur was made to cover up his soul mark by his father. Soon, everyone else in Camelot followed along the trend, and by the twentieth anniversary of Arthur’s birth, there was nary anyone in Camelot who showed off their soul mark.
And then a village boy with far too much righteous confidence for his own good tried to fist fight Arthur in the lower town and somehow, that changed everything.
