It was honestly perfectly normal, it happened all the time. Arthur put away his sword, laughing a little, in his 'I can't believe I didn't die' laugh he did sometimes, which was kind of cute and again, perfectly normal. Then he was stepping over a dead man and coming toward Merlin quickly, and Merlin expected to be yelled at, for not helping or whatever usual utter rubbish Arthur says, because that too, happens all the time.

Unfortunately, his mum overheard and was so happy for him, that he couldn't bring himself to tell her that it wasn’t true. Things got a little out of hand when Merlin continued to embellish the lie until he had a fully-formed pretend serious boyfriend that his mum wanted him to bring to the family Christmas party... It was only when his friend, Gwen, pointed out that the boyfriend Merlin had made up sounded a bit like Arthur - who was part of their group of friends but not Merlin's favourite person in the world - that the idea of asking the prat to pretend to be his boyfriend at the party formed. Perhaps not the best idea ever - Merlin just hoped to be able to make it through the party without anyone guessing the truth.

[M/A] Mergin: Hardly Dismissed (R) 1519 Merlin had long been done with his chores and sat on the stool near Arthur's bed waiting for him to come back. This was getting ridiculous, Merlin kept thinking; it had been going on for over a week now. [M/A] Bluebellstar: One Morning in Camelot Cottage (PG-13) 1214 A few weeks into their new relationship, Arthur is bored with Merlin's usual wake-up phrases. An off hand comment sees Merlin singing to him. This is as bad as it sounds. Also wherein the boys are a little domestic, and Morgana has the last laugh.

(G) 2073 And he really would’ve told Merlin all of this, if their bond, their companionship weren’t so vital for not only their future, but Camelot’s.

(NR) 1183 Okey, so. Hanging upside down ain’t much fun. He’s been tortured countless times, but never upside down. It’s creative though. Somehow, the knights found trouble again. This time though? This time Merlin doesn’t agree. No sir. Kidnapping people is rude. [M/A] Anonymous: Bound (G) 5548 Merlin immediately falls for a newer cashier at the local book store, but he has a couple of secrets that Merlin didn't expect. [M/A] SnufflesThePig: Merlin and Arthur tag along with Harry Potter (and the Philosopher's Stone) (NR) 65548 Merlin’s been keeping a close eye on the Riddle boy. It’s the flirting with the Balance that sets Riddle apart, makes him Merlin’s business. Merlin’s never gone out of his way to involve himself. When Riddle drags a baby boy into his mess, though, it’s too far. It’s a little too close to that life-for-a-life business. A little too close to Queen Ygraine’s death. Arthur agrees. They’re not the only ones watching. Albus Dumbledore has inserted himself and is already deconstructing the situation, putting measures into place and making plans. The boy is taken care of. Merlin and Arthur make some plans of their own. ------------------- Merlin and Arthur take note the night Harry Potter cheats death (the first time). When the boy turns 11, they decide it's high time they went back to Hogwarts. [M/A] 50quid (hahahaharlequin): Preemptive Measures (G) 1623 Ever since Merlin and his partner had gotten around to adopting their little girl, Gwaine couldn't help calling over to chat. And since he was busy during the day with work, and running after criminals, his only relatively flexible time was in the evenings, regardless if he had to bring home some paperwork, or he was at a stakeout- he'd still find the time to call Merlin's home, and chat with Aithusa.

Arthur saves his ass and patches him up. Surely it's no surprise that a love confession or two follow.(Series: Part 2 of the A Test of Strength and Courage (melee challenge fics) series) [M/A] tsundanire: Provoking Provocatively (NC-17) 3366 “Shit. Fuck. Ah dammit!” Merlin swore, not having realised who he’d crashed into quite yet. Arthur, for his part, wanted to shoot back with some witty rejoinder, but found his mouth to be quite dry. Again, his cheeks burned, and if Merlin didn’t get off his person soon...they’d be facing a slightly bigger problem. Or the one in which Arthur discovers he's got a thing for hearing Merlin swear. [M/A] illiterateowl: realizations (PG-13) 1972 What if Arthur didn’t love him? What if this was just a casual thing? What if Arthur had planned on breaking it off anyway because Merlin wasn’t good enough for him? He could barely sleep that night, despite Arthur’s warm chest against his back and his strong arm slung around his chest, hand over Merlin’s heart. It felt like a lie. If Arthur truly loved him, why couldn’t he say it back? [M/A] Augurey_Ray: Where I feel at home (G) 2128 Merlin has kept the subject of Camelot quiet since Arthur’s return and Arthur doesn't understand why.

(PG-13) 995 When Arthur Pendragon woke up that morning, the Prince and Heir Apparent of Camelot was not expecting to announce his very own Selection. Neither was Merlin, the prince’s best friend and PA whose secretly in love with him. So of course, when the daughters of 35 lords throughout the kingdom are paraded in front of Arthur with the demands that one of them will be his wife, it throws some hurdles into what was a seamless routine and definitely not filled with soulful and homoerotic pining. [M/A] prattery: Stone Cold (1/3) (G) 2450 Five years have passed since Arthur exiled Merlin. Four since the druids were welcomed back into Camelot. Three since Camelot repealed the ban on magic, and two since Arthur appointed Gaius the Court Sorcerer. He never heard from Merlin once, and it’s only now that he finds out why.

[M/A] OnceFutureEmrys: Not All Rainy Days Are Bad (1/2) (PG-13) 3574 But he decides that day that he hates thunderstorms. He hates the claps of lightning, the loud noises of droplets hitting his window. The strong winds that shake his little room and give him goosebumps along his arms. Suffice to say, Merlin decides at the age of eight that he most definitely hates the rain. And nothing could convince him otherwise. -OR- Merlin hates the rain because something bad always happens. Then one rainy day he meets Arthur and his entire life changes.(Series: Part 4 of the My Merlin Bingo Fills 2021 series, Part 1 of the My Melee Challenges series) [M/A] RavenGirl42: Love or Tears I'm Here (4/5) (NC-17) 6684 Merlin and Arthur meet for the first time on the day Merlin gets engaged.

Fanfic: Complete [M/A] archaeologist_d: Blind Date (PG-13) 1346 Morgana insists that Arthur go on a blind date. But not the ordinary kind.

[M/A] YulianaHenderson: The Dragonlord's Son (PG-13) 3352 Merlin has always dreamed about meeting his father, never knowing if he was even still alive, never knowing if that wish would ever be granted. When it finally happens, and it's torn away from him just as quickly as it's given, he's not surprised. It's a little too difficult to deal with, so against his better judgment, he confides in his master and best friend. (Series: Part 4 of the Merlin Rewrites series) [M/A] francesforever: It Started Suddenly and was Terrific and Gentle (G) 334 “he is scared, you feel it all around him, all the time, these days. he is brave, or stupid, or mad, he runs into danger but he won’t stop running away from you, so he must be brave or stupid or mad or he must not know who you are.” OR: some vague writing loosely based around merlin/arthur ! [M/A] YulianaHenderson: Jealousy Really Doesn't Suit You (PG-13) 1138 "Either he goes, or I go." “What?” “I can’t share you like this, Merlin. I need to know where we stand.

[M/A] coldishcase: Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely (R) 1583 It has been so long, and Merlin is still alone, left to wait endlessly for the man he failed to save. The man he loves above all else. When the waiting gets to be too much, Merlin takes destiny into his own hands. The prophecied outcome has always been his fault before; Morgana's Corruption, Mordred's hate, Arthur's Death. Why not create Albion's time of greatest need himself, and force Arthur to come back to stop him? To take him to Avalon, so he can finally rest in peace. (Series:Part 3 of the Merlin 2021 Rewatch Canon Divergent Drabbles & Fics series) [M/A] Ana_Jacobs: Fools' Day (G) 8031 The knights convince (more like trick) Arthur to retire the ban on an ancient festivity: Fools' Day. During this day, the roles of servants and masters are reversed, which implies that Merlin is going to be king for a day and Arthur is going to be his… servant. Arthur dreads the day, and when it finally comes, he waits anxiously for all the horrible things Merlin will do to him as a revenge for all the shit Arthur makes him go through. But, of course, he wasn’t counting on the fact that Merlin is, apart from a little shit, a precious cinnamon roll. A bit of humour (so sorry about that one, I’m hopeless) and lots of fluff. [M/A] NamelesslyNightlock, Rabentochter: Same as Always (PG-13) 3228 Arthur should have been celebrating. His knights certainly were. But there on the field of Camlann, surrounded by the sounds of victory… he couldn’t tear his devastated gaze from Merlin.

Arthur is in the present, reincarnated-ish (he walked out of the lake with his sword still in his hand, it's Arthur, idk what to tell you) and Merlin is showing him all of his favourite places, when Arthur stumbles upon something Merlin really wishes the smug clotpole had never seen. Rated Teen for the swears. Can be read as pre-slash, one sided or gen as takes your fancy, but I'm all for dumb boys in love being dumb. [M/A] sam4587: Everything You Deserve (and more) (G) 1482 Merlin and Arthur settle in to watch the award show where Morgana is nominated for one of the categories. During the show, a surprise is waiting for them. [M/A] seapotato: Spangled is the Earth (G) 5346 Arthur was, to his dismay, disgustingly besotted. The worst part was he liked it. --- A short series of Merlin and Arthur in winter. (Series: Part 3 of the Wintering series) [M/A] TheCourtSorcerer: Trouble, Trouble (PG-13) 1954 “Arthur’s going to have our heads if he realizes we brought her back,” he hummed, sounding amused at the idea. “You’re sure she’s stopped with the whole, burning holes through doors to get to you thing?” Merlin paused in his step as they walked down the corridor, thinking a moment, before finally shrugging. “Pretty sure. We’ll be fine! Unless we’re late to another meeting, come on, walk faster.” Or Merlin & Gwaine sneak Aithusa into the castle behind Arthur's back before a council meeting. [M/A] powered_by_notes: Pieces of Me are Pieces of You (G) 1839 Months after finding out about his servant's magic during the Battle of Camlan, Arthur finally conveys the appreciation he holds for Merlin.

[M/A] TheMagicArts: Love the Way You Lie (NR) 14134 "Arthur closed his eyes. He wished that he was not King. If only he could love whomever he wanted. If he could have been an ordinary man, he would have loved Merlin. Destiny was cruel." Arthur marries Gwen and breaks his own heart and Merlin's in the process. If you're looking for an angsty time, but a happy and smutty ending, then this is a fic for you! [M/A] Fictionista654: In Which Arthur Encounters a Sword, a Stone, and a Sorcerer (PG-13) 8949 “Let me get this straight,” said Arthur, hoping his voice wouldn’t fail him. “You’re saying that I, Arthur Who-Lives-On-The-Hill, am actually Arthur Pendragon, son of Uther Pendragon, and rightful king of Camelot?” “You’re a little thick, aren’t you,” Merlin said cheerfully. [M/A] samm_jpg: A Dragon's Treasure (G) 4830 When Merlin learned that he was a Dragonlord, he didn’t entirely know what that meant, and he obviously didn’t get enough time with his father to learn. All Merlin knew about his newfound heritage was that he was kin to dragons, and could command them. Nothing could have prepared him for this. [M/A] recklessDreamer: How (not) to spy on a warlock (PG-13) 7134 When Arthur and the knights notice that Merlin sometimes leaves the castle at night they want to find out what he is hiding. This leads to a bet, several ill-fated attempts to get the truth out of Merlin, a confused warlock and one epic love confession. Or something like that.

[M/A] schweet_heart: marginalia (1/3) (NC-17) 2898 He pushed open the door to his chambers. There, where he had left it, was his old oak bed, the hangings freshly cleaned and re-hung in preparation for his arrival; there was his desk, his dining table, the familiar worn-smooth stones of the hearth where a welcome fire was blazing. And there, standing with his back to the window, was his manservant, arms folded across his chest, leaning casually against the stonework as he waited for his king. Sometimes, the most important moments are the ones that happen in between battles.

He knew that he could go without any grievances. What he didn't know was, what he would do, if he was ever to return. What diffrences could he make, if time was reversed? Maybe... Maybe some things wouldn't end like they had. Maybe he wanted some things to stay. Somebody to stay... "Hey." He turned around. "Come on, it's enough." "What?" "You've had your fun my friend."

Destroy him, the one the Druids call Emrys, and you will wield a fear over magic we can only imagine.” “Merlin?” Arthur whispered. “Merlin has magic,” Uther reaffirmed, and Arthur was sure he saw flames burning in his eyes as he mentioned the name, as if memories of all those sent to burn passed across his mind in a flash. Uther, being able to see most things in his kingdom while in the afterlife, reveals Merlin's secret to Arthur before the new King leaves the veil.

It is an honor to be invited on a hunting trip with the king,” Arthur replied haughtily. “An invitation implies there being a choice, sire.” Or, yet another magic reveal fic with lots of angst, but also a fluffy happy ending with Merthur romance, because apparently I think there can never be enough of them.

He kept most people out of the throne room, only his most trusted and just enough people to not make it look suspicious. His most trusted knights, Merlin, and himself. The rest of his knights at all entrances and exits, just in case. They may be a new enemy, or maybe a future ally. With Morgana still at large, it was always better safe than sorry. The doors to the throne room had opened and 6 people walked in. (Or: Arthur and Merlin meet their female counterparts from alternate realities. Sexy shenanigans may happen.) [M/A] Sheheryar_Shahid: Hidden (1/?)

The rest of his knights at all entrances and exits, just in case. They may be a new enemy, or maybe a future ally. With Morgana still at large, it was always better safe than sorry.
