Summary
Merlin didn't expect the spell to go so absolutely, magnificently wrong. So of course it did. And now apparently every magical being in all of Albion could see the stamp of ownership - clear as day - on one Arthur Pendragon, King of Camelot. And even worse, now there was a very pissy Arthur Pendragon, King of Camelot, searching far and wide for the sorcerer Emrys.
Now, wading his way through fake Emryses, woodland elves, Gwaine's alcoholic tendencies, the stocks, a damned chicken suit and Arthur's bed, Merlin must find a way to remove that bleeding mark before it's too late, and the prophecy is forever lost.
Or: the story where George's little heart goes out one too many times, and Gwaine loves the Camelot red a bit too much.

Summary
An AU of the season 4 finale, wherein Arthur refuses to abandon his castle during Morgana's seige, and Merlin refuses to use magic to take away Arthur's will, so they're at an impasse.
Rather than break his moral code to bewitch Arthur, Merlin decides to break his secrecy. If Arthur doesn't want to leave his Castle... fine. They won't. Merlin will just have to take it back for him... and all that entails.

A year into his reign as King, Arthur has legalised magic and makes an official visit to Nemeth to strengthen the alliance between the two kingdoms, and to seek counsel from the mysterious Druid named Merlin, whom Mithian has appointed her Court Sorcerer. Arthur, himself, has been communicating through letters with a Druid named Emrys, who has been assisting him, and with whom Arthur has been forming a deeper connection than he had intended. He finds himself torn between Merlin and Emrys, developing feelings for them both and wondering how on earth he is supposed to reconcile them.

Summary
Arthur survives the battle of Camlann but discovers that Merlin is a sorcerer when Merlin kills Morgana to save Arthur’s life. Feeling angry and betrayed, Arthur banishes Merlin.
Five years later, in a war-torn Camelot, Arthur is finally ready to talk to Merlin, and they realize that they can only fulfill the prophecy together, side by side.
The next morning, they wake up in the past, in their young bodies.
~
“Someone or something has sent us back in time, right to the beginning, with all our memories,” Merlin says, and it’s only now that it dawns on him what that truly means. “Just imagine everything we could do, everything we could change for the better. We could make everything right this time.”
Arthur hesitates for a moment. “Can we even change the future?”
“Yes, I think we can”, Merlin answers with confidence and new-found hope in his voice.

Summary
No one has seen Merlin since he fled Camelot, and his death sentence, over six years ago. With Camelot under siege by Morgana's undead forces and Excalibur, his only hope of defeating them, stolen, Arthur embarks on a hopeless mission to find the lost sword. In a sacred forest he stumbles upon a changed Merlin. The two reconcile and Arthur starts to understand that their bond goes deeper than friendship. All the while Merlin is secretly grappling with the revelations of his own immortality and visions of Arthur's imminent death.
OR
An AU and alternative S4/5 mostly inspired by the Welsh pre-Merlin Myrddin, a mad soothsayer exiled to the woods, and Quest for Camelot 1998. More references in the notes. There's no need to know any of it!
Excerpt:
When Arthur looked, the end of his nose was decidedly red, so were his eyes. He seemed a little exacerbated. “Merlin, do you have hay fever?” he asked, incredulous.
“Ugh, a bit, why?”
“You’re immortal.”
“But I’m not infallible!” he sniffed, banging down his staff. “Not completely anyway...”
Arthur blinked, his mouth open, head shaking. “That the Gods and magic conspired to make a creature such as you, I don’t think I’ll ever fathom.”Series

Summary
Arthur Pendragon has spent his whole life untouched—by kindness, by desire, or anything resembling real intimacy. It never mattered. Not until a certain annoying manservant came to Camelot—Merlin—who disregarded all strict royal etiquette and showed no restraint when it came to sudden, reckless displays of affection. Now, there's something impossible in the space between them, something Arthur doesn't know how to name—only that he aches to close the distance.
*
A slow-burn touched-starved Arthur Pendragon story.

Guys, there was only one bed.
Guys, some obscure quest in the cold far-up mountains made them "huddle for warmth".
Guys, they might give in to this farm fantasy of theirs.
Can't I just put all the tropes in there?

Summary
Vampires can’t faint, but it certainly feels like this might be a first. It takes all of Arthur’s considerable control to remain sitting in his seat in the back row, but even so, he finds that his hands are shaking.
How is this possible? How can he be here, after all these centuries? He must have died eons ago—Arthur knows, has counted the years until even a long-lived man would’ve been dead, has mourned what had never been his to keep in the first place…Series

Summary
As Merlin looked back in bewilderment, he found how, right in Camelot's courtyard, in front of every eyewitness, commoner and nobility—
Arthur Pendragon was on his knees.
“Merlin,” Arthur began breathlessly, tears painting his stance with plea, begging and not caring how he, the king, was now kneeling for a servant in front of his citizens who never saw him kneel for anyone before. “Please, Merlin, I beg you, I plead of you— just give me five minutes then sentence me to hell afterwards for all I care.”

Diamond of the day fix-it, with a secret that only Arthur Pendragon knows.

Summary
In the wake of Uther's unexpected death, and Morgana's subsequent alliance with Odin, Arthur struggles with feeling unprepared to bear the mantle of King. Fearful for Camelot's future, he sees no choice but to swallow his distaste for Cenred and visit Essetir in order to seek an alliance with him. Arthur is utterly horrified when Cenred offers him a defiant, young prisoner, controlled by an iron collar, as 'entertainment' on the first night of his visit, an entertainment he is expected to enjoy. Arthur is frustrated and disheartened by Cenred’s crudeness and disrespect, but continues to visit, trying to win Cenred round. The only bright point in his visits is the intriguing young prisoner, with whom Arthur is forming an unexpectedly close bond, but one that risks being dangerous for both of them.

Summary
The Pendragons have been cursed with lycanthropy for generations. Mysteriously, the curse did not affect Uther Pendragon and he thought the curse broken. When Arthur experienced his first shift on the full moon, Uther blamed the arcane for the return of the curse and banned all arcane beings and practices from the Kingdom of Camelot.
Arthur is now king, and has welcomed back druids, werewolves, and fey with open arms. He has a loyal pack at his side, and now he needs a Pack Druid. A druid specially trained to act as an advisor and a tether to humanity for werewolf packs.
Enter Merlin; the first Pack Druid trained since Uther's ban on the arcane. While he and Arthur get off to a rocky start, it's clear that Merlin is a missing piece to the pack. That joy is short lived, however, when an attack on the road reveals a political plot against Arthur's life. Merlin and the rest of the pack must come together to figure out who betrayed them before Arthur, and all of Camelot, are lost.
