Summary
“You’re the Prince?” Merlin says, eyeing him. He hesitates, then adds, defiant, “The Mad Prince of Camelot.”
Arthur doesn’t move. There’s quiet for a long time, then he says it. “I am.”
“You don’t seem mad,” he says.
The smile wells up from somewhere deep, and very sad. “Well, Merlin,” he says, “give me time.”Series

Summary
The waiting was hard, of course. But it wasn't the hardest part.
The hardest part was how everything kept changing. Everything was fast and slow; each life a small story that played out across the long messy scrawl of time.
And Arthur sleeps, missing it all -- so Merlin is determined to take in as much as he can. Over the centuries he forges on through terror and triumph, loneliness and love -- sometimes helping and sometimes hurting, but always striving with every passing life to be closer to the man he wants to be when Arthur finally returns to him.

Summary
After a terrible battle against King Lot's army, leading to his disastrous magic reveal, Merlin is captured by the enemy's side.
It has been years since that day, and much has changed. But stuck between four walls and used as a fighter for entertainment, Merlin has no way to find out how much and what.
His only hope is for his former friend to come and rescue him, but with each passing day, this hope fades a bit more.
Will Arthur save his manservant, or let ignorance and hurt cloud his better judgment?

Summary

Summary
Merlin joins Camelot Castle - a prestigious school for students across the land. There, he meets arrogant Arthur Pendragon, son of the elusive headmaster Uther. They don't like each other at all... until they do.
Or:
If Twilight (the movie) and Merlin (the tv show) had a child that resembled one parent (Merlin) much more than it did the other (Twilight).

Summary
At sixteen, Prince Merlin saw his kingdom destroyed and was forced into an engagement with King Cenred just because of his magic. Now, two years later and on the eve of his wedding, Merlin's crew takes him out on a final voyage before he's forced to give up his beloved ship and way of life forever in exchange for a life of darkness with Cenred. But it isn't long before the trip takes a turn for the worst and Merlin finds himself kidnapped yet again, this time by the unfairly hot and unbearably arrogant Prince Arthur Pendragon of Camelot, the very same kingdom with a reputation for making sorcerers’ heads roll. This should be fun...

Summary
Eight months after the repeal of the magic ban, Merlin and Arthur continue the rhythm of their status quo, with Merlin ever the constantly-ordered-around manservant to King Arthur. But when two diplomats are murdered in Camelot, Arthur must salvage relations with the mysterious “Queen of Demetae,” even if it means brokering a marriage alliance between himself and a legendary sorcerer, Emrys.
aka Merlin's "Emrys" identity gets betrothed to King Arthur, and Merlin desperately tries to put a stop to it without exposing his secret magic or identity or any of the other hundred secrets he'd kept since becoming Arthur's manservant.

Summary
Red Fated Strings overlapped one another all the time. In this very room, webs overlapped and passed through each other without creating any physical tension to the people they were attached to.
Except Merlin's string is not tangled on anything. Anything at all. It’s short. It’s cutting directly across the throne room, through the alley of tables, to the hand of—
Prince Arthur Pendragon is looking at him. He seems to be in the exact same process of realizing what Merlin sees…but by the expression on his face, Merlin isn’t sure if the prince is ready to kill him or throw him out of his ball.

Summary
A complete Hogwarts story of Arthur Pendragon and Merlin Ambrosius during the 1st wizarding war: 1971 and onward.
Summary: Arthur Pendragon is on top of the muggle world. He comes from wealth and political power, he's the top fencer in his class and as high in a social hierarchy as an eleven year old can climb. He is also a wizard, or so his letter says.
Merlin Ambrosius is a pure-blooded heir of one of the most renowned sacred 28 families. He's a descendent of the original Merlin. Penniless but powerful, Merlin is in his element at Hogwarts school.
Arthur most certainly is not.

Summary
Bartholomew "Hollow" Hainsley has presented as an Omega at the relatively late age of twenty-three, leading his brother, the Earl of Westbrooke, to start looking to marry him off. Painfully shy and set in his ways, Hollow wants nothing more than to stay at Westbrooke forever but as he certainly knows, the bulk of the soirees in London are about to begin and there is nothing he can say that will make his brother change his mind about finding him a proper suitor. With at least one marriage proposal under his belt, he can't believe how unlucky he could possibly be to have drawn the gaze of the most formidable Alpha he's ever seen in his life, the rakishly handsome and devilishly mannered Duke of Asterly.
