Summary
Arthur Pendragon is the youngest Camelot FC captain ever. Merlin Emrys is a university postgraduate creating an app that would be revolutionary for coaching football players as his final thesis work —and has a crush the size of the Big Ben on Pendragon.
However, when they meet at a party, Merlin discovers that maybe one should never meet their idols. Especially not if they were young, arrogant football players, with their heads too deep into their arses to deal with so much fame and attention at once. Worse if they were called Arthur Pendragon.
How did they come from such a disastrous meeting to get married and live in Paris two years later?
"Hat-Trick" is the story of Arthur and Merlin's rollercoaster relationship from the beginning to "Idol". And if you're wondering about where to start, some things taste better if you start from the end.

Summary
“I’m the king,” Arthur says grumpily, swallowing around the stone that has settled in his throat, “I can wear what I want.”
“What about what I want?”
“I’m the king,” Arthur repeats slowly, since Merlin is being particularly thick, “and so you can also wear what I want.”
Or, Arthur dresses Merlin, which goes about as well as you would expect.

Summary
Merlin leant back in his chair. “Well, I guess if it’s you vouching for him, I can at least meet him. And you’re sure he needs a flatmate?”
Gwen smiled brightly. “He does, really. And Morgana thinks—well, never mind that. Shall I give him your number?”
“Might as well do,” Merlin said. “I mean, it’s not like my situation can possibly get any worse.”
Merlin really should have known better than that, by now. His situation could always get worse.
***
Merlin's got no flatmate, no stipend, and nowhere else to turn. Enter Arthur, who's a bit of a mess himself. Who knows ... it just might work.

A reincarnated Arthur is a famous movie star, and the only way for Merlin to get to the king is to audition for his upcoming movie. Except the movie is about King Arthur and Merlin from the "Arthurian legends". Somehow, Merlin has to audition to play himself!

Summary
After losing Arthur, Merlin semi-accidentally travels back in time. In an attempt to change the future, Merlin takes Morgana under his wing and trains her in magic, all the while trying to pretend he's not still in love with an Arthur who doesn't remember that they used to be married (in the future, that is), keeping an eye out for Morgause, and juggling Camelot's run of the mill crises. You know, the usual manservant stuff.
Aka two idiots make a mess for 55k lmao.

Summary
When Kilgarrah had bathed Excalibur in his fire, he’d said it would enable the blade to kill anything, mortal or magical, living or dead. Later, when Merlin was able to think more deeply on the prophecies and began to have some rather disturbing realizations about himself, he came to the conclusion that being stabbed by Excalibur would just kill him. Mortal or non-mortal, after all; that was the clause.
Apparently, that clause didn’t apply to Emrys. Merlin should have known.
Merlin wasn’t just immortal; he couldn’t die. The Balance wouldn’t let him. So the two had compromised: Merlin had, by the cut of Excalibur’s blade, been broken into millions of tiny pieces and scattered across the entirety of the globe.

OR: An exploration into what would happen if Merlin got stabbed by Excalibur.
