Hi, I'm looking for a merhur fanfic that I've been wanting to read again for a long time, but I just cannot find it. It's a Modern AU, and Arthur is a programmer. And I think Merlin is an artist? Merlin and Arthur meet online, I'm pretty sure through a chat room. There is one scene in the fic that I remember: Merlin leaves his Skype on accidentally, and Arthur sees what Merlin does after he signs out.

Hiya, the fic you’re looking for is probably Chatroom.

Thanks anon1, glad you like this blog. Unfortunately Heartquake is the only canon-era fic I’ve heard of where Merlin is a father.

As for Merlin with a hidden past fics, my mind is currently blank. There’s The Crown of the Summer Court and Polarity. Here are also some Prince Merlin fics on FF.net that I’ve never read.

My Biology does not Define Me (but it’s fun): A Tragicomedy in Three Parts (Merlin/Arthur, NC-17)

My Biology does not Define Me (but it’s fun): A Tragicomedy in Three Parts by kathkin

Everyone expected Prince Arthur to be an Alpha, but he turned out to be just a Beta. Everyone thinks Merlin is a Beta, but he's secretly an Omega - and a very unconventional one.

Sorry not asking for a rec, just in reference to an ask about Merlin getting injured in snow/ice, theres a fic on AO3 called Light of Arthur which they might like :))

Thanks, anon! It’s been a while since I’ve read it so I didn’t remember the injury/sick bit, but yes, Light of Arthur certainly fits it!! :D

For Starters (Merlin/Arthur, PG-13)

For Starters by Malu_3

Pendragon's restaurant is like a second home to ten-year-old Merlin, and the older Arthur his idol. Returning to Camelot after many years away, Merlin follows his nose and stomach back to Pendragon's – and his heart to a new understanding of Arthur.

Hi! Do you know of any fic where Merlin gets a really serious disease or illness - preferably something to do with being out in snow or ice, but it doesn't have to be - and Arthur gradually getting more an more worried? Sorry it's kinda specific, I have no idea why I'm craving this in particular.. :)

Hiya!

Here are some fics where Merlin is becomes ill due to the cold:

The Comfort of Warmth, The Thaw.

Here are others where Merlin has a medical condition or gets injured or sick due to other reasons:

It’s Only A Flesh Wound, A New Low, What Looks Like Crazy.

Hi! I was wondering if you knew of any (preferably canon-era) fics in which Merlin is found to be a royal or a noble? I've found these are my weakness but can't seem to find any... Thanks!

Do check out The Crown of Summer Court - it’s one of the very first M/A fic of that trope.

Here’s one where Arthur wakes up in a world where Merlin is royal: Seven Magpies.

I’ve read a number of Merlin pretending to be royal fics, but not as many Merlin turns out to be royal ones, unfortunately.

I remember a long while ago reading a great fic in which Merlin dies (was burned at the stake, I think?) and rises again in Camelot's darkest hour as Emrys to fulfill his destiny and protect it when the castle is under siege or something...I think it was Merlin/Arthur to some degree, and I haven't been able to find it anywhere. Any ideas as to what it might be? Thanks!

Hmm.. was it this one?

The Sorcerer and the King by misswinterhill [NC-17]

Canon AU -- Merlin's death is only the beginning; with no-one to protect the kingdom, Camelot falls to an enemy sorcerer and Arthur is forced to serve in the court that he once ruled. When an escape attempt goes horribly wrong, Arthur is rescued by someone he never expected to see again -- and it's their destiny to put things right.

Hi! Hope you can help me find a fic ^.^ I think it's called ‘Half of Me’ … and I can’t find a link anywhere … and I’m getting no where on google! An author name along the lines of ‘penko’ rings a bell … or something like that … but I can’t find anything! x

Hi, Half of Me was a fic of Pianeko but they've deleted their journal. :(

Does anyone know if there are any remaining links to that fic elsewhere?

Set after season one - When Merlin is hit with the spell intended for Arthur, he turns into a more incompetent manservant than usual. Strangely enough, Arthur's not really complaining.

There Are No Gays in Football (Merlin/Arthur, NC-17)

There Are No Gays in Football by Malu_3

When a deeply-closeted Arthur Pendragon finally earns a spot in Camelot's first XI, he's dead set on breaking records, not one of sport's last taboos. But life, like football, is a funny old game, and sometimes the only way up is out. Especially once he realises he's arse over tit for the new physio.

A queer Arthurian tale of courage, love, and football.
