Summary
“Heads up, someone’s coming down from pedes to take a look at our baby Jane Doe.” Dana says, phone tucked between her ear and shoulder. Robby feels his entire body stiffen.
“Oh?” He says, trying to go for casual as he leans up against the desk. He looks up at the glowing board above the two of them, scanning for his patients. “Do we know who?”
Dana levels a look at him as she hangs up the phone, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
“The one and only.” She glances over at the black thermos sitting innocently next to them, a bright yellow sticker faded with some age, corners curling, with bold letters saying ‘good job’.
“Ah. Right.”

In this au Dennis works in pediatrics, and Robby has an absolutely hopeless crush on him.
It's delightful to read.

Summary
'Merlin, my friend. What –?'
'I need your help hiding a body.'
Every man in the antechamber froze, the silence thick and breathless. No one so much as moved as they all stared at the threshold, where the door stood ajar only a fraction, blocking them from view.
Yet it was Lancelot's reply, carried on the edge of a weary sigh, that made disbelief stutter in Arthur's chest.
'Again?'
******
A fragment of overheard conversation leads Arthur and his knights deep into the Darkling Woods, where the truth about Merlin's magic finally comes out.

Summary
In an effort to prepare against future attempts on Arthur's life, the knights are sharing their suggestions for ways to kill the king.
Merlin's been lucky enough to observe some experts (and idiots) in real-life attempts, so has his answer ready suspiciously fast.
Really, he's put a lot of thought into it.

Summary
Ealdor is a small, proud, gossipy town like any other.
When two knights stumble in with unfriendly company on their tails, they take up their swords to defend the town and her people.
A gallant gesture, truly, but this town’s alarmingly beautiful leader needs no help from knights in shining armour.
It does make for a good story, though.

Very interesting take on the relationship between Arthur and Merlin - because they aren't a master and servant, their dynamic is a little bit different from the show but still it's very much enjoyable.
Also, Gwain calling Merlin a Peasant King ^_^

Summary
"Luckily for us, we’ve recently discovered King Arthur was an avid letter writer. He was in close contact with many of his knights and nobles of the court. Most impressive, though, is the large collection of letters we’ve found between Arthur and one of his servants.”

Bookmarker's Notes
Truly heartbreaking. It's a piece of reality Merlin faces centuries after Arthur's death. Forced to remember and at the same time unable to forget, he looks for traces of his lover around him, constantly visiting a museum exhibition portraying him, because as inaccurate as it is, anger at whoever made it is better than the emptiness of a love long gone.
Because the truth is, he can't bring him back.

Summary
After being dosed with a truth potion? No, they're not.
“Who the fuck calls you Emrys?” Arthur asks, so clearly annoyed.
“People of magic. Druids, mostly, but I’ve heard it from fae and leaders of the old religion. Jesus fucking Christ--” he dissolves into hysterical laughter, rocking as far forward as his bonds will allow. “What is in this shit?” -

Summary
Have you ever wondered how on earth Merlin ended up dressed as a knight (and wearing Arthur's cloak) luring an enemy army into a trap in 04x05?
Well, here's your answer. Or, more precisely, my take on the events leading to that legendary moment and what happened shortly afterwards.

When Merlin uses a spell to make his ears less conspicuous, Arthur's the only one who doesn't seem to think it's an improvement.

Where Merlin feels insecure about his ears and changes them a little bit - but it seems like Arthur doesn't like that one bit.

Summary
Duke Ben-something-or-other clears his throat and looks Merlin up and down. “Apologies, my lord, I have not introduced myself. I am Duke Benedict Earl James the Fourteenth." He stands and bows.
“And I’m Merlin.” Merlin scratches his armpit.
Arthur rolls his eyes. “He means your title, idiot.”
“Oh. I’m the Court Jester.”

Summary
Life in Camelot has been hard after Morgana's betrayal, but when new snow covers the fields and the castle halls get a little too stuffy, Merlin convinces Arthur to go on a trip to unwind in the wintry beauty. Little does he know that since it's the Winter Solstice, his magic is significantly weakened, leaving him with no protection when bandits attack them. Worse, a snowstorm arrives, cutting them away from Camelot and any proper medical equipment.
Now, it is up to Arthur and the knights to save Merlin and make sure he stays warm.
Written for the WinterKnights fest 2025!

Summary
At a banquet held by one of his nobles, Arthur offers Merlin as a fool now that he knows he can juggle, eager for his friend to receive some praise. Little did he know that, on Lord Wilber's estate, customs regarding the figure of the fool are different. His initial plan backfires... and Merlin ends up being treated rather unfairly.
Or:
Arthur messes up badly and then tries to fix things by being sincere for once in his life.

Summary
Merlin knows it’s better him than anyone else - it’s the mantra he repeats like a lifeline with every aching step he takes up the endless stairs in the castle, bones protesting and bruises littering his mauled chest. It’s better him than Gwen, he thinks, hands shaking as Arthur hands him off to Lord Something-Or-Other, known for whipping his servants into submission. It’s better him than the laundry girls, barely older than ten, trembling in fear as Sir Newest Knight throws a predatory gaze like a promise.
It’s better him. He has magic, so he could fight back, if need be. No one else has magic, so they couldn't fight back. It’s that simple.
(It’s really not)

Summary
Arthur sighed and looked at the letter Leon had brought in earlier. The invitation. Next month would be the one-year anniversary of the treaty between Camelot and the druids. Almost a year had passed since Arthur had given them a piece of his lands and the money they needed to settle down and live in peace. Since he’d gone against his late father’s policies and had declared magic users were friends to all who lived in Camelot and not their enemies. And that, of course, was why the letter had been sent. The invitation to a celebration in King Arthur’s honour. There was no reason for Arthur to decline. There really wasn’t.
And yet he had no intention of attending the celebration. He’d done right by the druids. As he should have. And that was all that mattered. There was no need for him to have to visit the druids. Visit... him.
Emrys.

Summary
So Merlin does the only thing he can – he stays. Stays, and loves his golden prince from afar with a ferocity that scares him more than the flames ever could. Protects his soulmate with his magic, his body, his life – giving, giving, giving to the man who could never give Merlin his heart in return – to the man that was never Merlin’s to keep.
He tells himself that being his servant is enough. That loving Arthur from afar is enough. Will be enough.
After all, Merlin is nothing but a fantastic liar.
