Summary
After Camleot is overrun by Morgause's army and Morgana is revealed to be a spy, Merlin is forced to free The Great Dragon. He gives him the answer he seeks yet takes something much larger, when the citadel is weak he kills Uther Pendragon.
Arthur, overcome with loss, begins searching for the only man who can help him defeat The Great Dragon, the last Dragonlord. What they find, however, is much more than either Merlin or Arthur expected. In the shadow of that cruel night, Merlin must face the truth of his heritage and hide it from his best friend, the new king of Camelot.

Summary
He was on his way to the store when he felt a stirring in the air, something familiar from ages past. It made his hair stand on end, and he pulled his jacket tighter around his body. He had his beat up headphones on, blocking out the sounds of the street. He was uncomfortable, deeply, deeply uncomfortable. That stirring felt… significant. In a way he hadn’t felt since- since Arthur.
Merlin is flung into the past, dragged across time and space to a Camelot so like his own and yet not at all the same. After a thousand years, he must find his way in this new world, or run as far away as he can, if only to save himself. Not to mention that Arthur is nowhere in sight, and those that he loves are in danger if they even get near him...
Arthur dreams of a life that is not his own, flashes of a past that he never lived haunting him. To possibly find answers, he must travel to Camelot, and possibly see what these strange dreams mean. Not to mention Mordred and Archimedes hinting at a destiny far greater than him, and the balance of magic as they know it forever altered by a strange force known as Emrys...

Summary
The water was up to his knees, now. The cold was setting and in, and he clenched his teeth to keep them from chattering. Horatio pounded his fists against the grating, perhaps to make noise, mostly to quell his anger. The Renown was going to be blown to bits by the small Spanish force on the island, and the entire crew would be taken with it if they didn’t find a way to retreat, and soon. He heard several more shots crash into the woodwork above. Horatio could no longer hear the movement above over the rushing of seawater into the cell. He stopped yelling. The water continued to rise.
- a rewrite of the events leading up to the attack on the spanish base during the episode Mutiny, where Hornblower is the only one of the lieutenants to be arrested for mutiny by the captain. -

She annoys him almost immediately, but she also grabs his attention. He can’t take his eyes off her.
Her own eyes are one of her many striking features, lively and insouciant, outlined simply in black. If it weren’t for the fact that they don’t quite track him, he wouldn’t be able to tell at all.

Summary
Sheriff Merlin Emrys is the only lawman in the old west town of Griffin Creek, Montana. He wears the badge of his father, Balinor, murdered seven years earlier. Standing over his father's grave, he'd made a solemn vow to bring his killers to justice. Despite his strong suspicion that Uther Pendragon, a wealthy rancher and the leader of the notorious Pendragon Gang, was involved, Merlin lacks the evidence to arrest him.
When he is informed that the Pendragon Gang is heading for Griffin Creek, the sheriff knows he must protect the people of his town. Alone, he confronts the gang as soon as they ride into town, only to discover that they are no longer led by Uther, but by his son. Merlin finds himself inexplicably drawn to Arthur Pendragon, despite knowing his gang was wanted for everything from cattle rustling, to robbing banks, to saloon brawls, and even murder. He soon discovers that Arthur is nothing like his father, and Arthur begins to question everything from his own heart to his father's legacy. As their relationship grows, the bond between lawman and outlaw becomes one of legends.

Summary
Arthur Pendragon is at an all-time low: he's still suffering from the day he nearly dueled his father to the death, his sword arm has been wounded so grievously he may never fight again, and, worst of all, every last soul in Camelot and the kingdoms beyond have had magic forced on them overnight. Now Arthur must contend with the chaos of magic run rampant, his father's dangerous instability, Morgana's increasing distance, catching Merlin in more lies than he can count, and the magic that is now threatening to consume him—all while searching for a way to break the curse before it consumes them all.
It's not going to be easy: Arthur grapples with a destiny he's not sure he can handle, and a past he'd rather forget—and if he wants to save his people, he must be prepared to confront hard truths and harder choices. It's a trial by fire, one that risks destroying everything Arthur has left to hold dear should he fail. But with enough courage, enough understanding, and maybe just a touch of magic, there's nothing he can't face.

Just because it could be done, that didn’t mean that it should. It was a pity that Cenred King didn’t get the memo. And that he ever got Ygraine DuBois involved.This is the story of two generations of palaeontologists. A tale of love in a time of dragons. And dinosaurs.

Summary
Bereft of the emotions that should have come at the implications of the sentence, Uther's tone is stoic as if his own son is a common prisoner. “You are to leave Camelot by nightfall. If we find you have returned to the grounds of this kingdom we will have no choice but to carry out your original sentence in the highest order.”
Exiled and disinherited? Brilliant.
An AU where Uther, under the influence of Troll!Catrina and Goblin!Gaius legitimately disinherits Arthur and he must deal with the consequences thereof in an attempt to reclaim Camelot.

Summary
'You will forget all that you hold dear,' the sorcerer had vowed before he attacked Arthur, leaving his patrol dead and Arthur achingly thankful that for once, Merlin hadn’t been with him. Well, and he is quite certain that he hasn’t forgotten anything.
As it turns out, everyone else has; specifically about him, and that Camelot is supposed to have a crown prince.
When Merlin stumbles across him by chance, Arthur should be relieved. And he would be, really—if he hadn’t just been stabbed, and found out that Merlin has magic while he was at it. That Merlin does not remember who he is, either.
It all gets a lot more complicated from there on out as Arthur tries to keep his own secrets, deal with the revelations about Merlin, and find a way not only to restore Camelot's memories, but protect it against the threats gathering on the horizon, too.
When it rains, it pours; sometimes, the aftermath might just be worth it.

Summary
Twenty-one years of war between King Uther and the dragonlord Balinor have brought nothing but bloodshed to Camelot. But there is hope: A prophecy speaks of The Great Dragon, a mighty warrior destined to bring peace to the lands.
Merlin isn’t so sure he is up to fulfilling such a great destiny, though he wants nothing more than to see this conflict end. When Merlin manages to capture Arthur Pendragon, heir of the enemy, he sees a chance to seek reconciliation between the two sides. But between protecting a prejudiced Arthur, standing up to Balinor and struggling with his own identity as prophesied saviour, Merlin soon fears he might have taken on an insurmountable task. Meanwhile, prisoner of war Arthur simply can’t seem to fathom the young dragonlord out and remains skeptical about his good intentions.
The divide between the two sides runs deep, but destiny might yet find a way to make friends out of enemies…

Summary
“My father is a manipulative bastard who thought he could tell me how to live my life and I would shut up and accept it,” Arthur whispered, Merlin becoming enraptured with his words. Arthur never spoke about his father. In the whole four years he had known him this was the first time. “He didn’t like what I had to say and I didn’t like what he was doing, so I left and Lance followed.” Arthur shrugged his shoulders once more letting out a deep breath. “End of story.”
“I still think the prince has been captured by mole people,” Merlin replied after a couple of seconds had passed to break through the tense atmosphere, loving the short sharp bark of a laugh that erupted out of Arthur. That was one of his personal favourites, along with the small huff that a smirk would follow that showed off his crooked teeth. Yeah, Merlin was really that gone for his friend.
***
The Pendragon lineage was cursed on the day Arthur was born.
To save himself he walked away from his family and his royal roots.
However his past comes back to haunt him with the world desperate to solve the biggest mystery known to man.

“Gwen, it’s terrible,” Merlin said. “He’s polite! He’s kind, even!”
“And that’s a problem?” Gwen asked, dryly.
"I’m going to have to go through an entire week serving the perfect Golden Prince, and then go back to my Prince Prat, and I think it’s going to break me, Gwen. He’s going to get me used to it, and then it’ll be back to mile-long lists, and being called stupid instead of spectacular and how am I supposed to handle that?”
Gwen said, hesitantly, “I thought you liked Arthur?”
“I do,” Merlin said, sounding even lower than before. “I have to.”

When a visiting Prince visits Camelot, and takes Merlin as his servant during his negotiations with The Crown, Merlin finds himself being seen in a way he'd always wished Arthur would see him, and doesn't know what to do with any of it.Series

Summary
Arthur wakes up in modern Glastonbury and to his unfathomable relief finds Merlin. But nothing is simple. Everything he knew is gone, for one. He wonders what of his achievements were actually his own, and not just Merlin's magic, for another. Arthur also has to face the fact that he kept the ban on magic going. Was he ever truly a good king?
There is also the “I love you” he mouthed to Merlin before dying. Something he cannot afford to focus on, because, as Merlin tells him, Albion’s time of greatest need is upon them.
Then comes the unthinkable. Merlin’s magic, which has been growing over the last thousand years, is suddenly too strong for the sorcerer's human body to handle. Faced with the prospect of losing Merlin, feelings suddenly come out and Arthur realizes that if he can save the man he loves and the land of Albion, he might be able to forgive himself for his mistakes and everything he is not.
The question is, can he?
Expect fluff, angst, humor, banter, hurt/comfort, whump, and lots of Merthur!
