Arthur is the Once and Future king, destined to fall in the battle of Camlann. That is his destiny… or, it should have been his destiny; except, Merlin had other ideas. Arthur lives and continues to reign over Camelot. But fate isn't happy and a prophecy is born. A prophecy that says a young boy will finish Morgana's work. There's a small problem with that, the boy adores the king.
Without Merlin and Guinevere to guide his way, Arthur married Elaina and fulfilled his duty to his father and his kingdom. Eight years later, he finds himself the king raising a little princess on his own. When his daughter needs a governess, he hires Lady Guinevere who brings along a companion. No longer duty bound in marriage, will Arthur allow himself to get close to Merlin?
On a scale of one to ten, Merlin would rate being married to Arthur a six and a half. Sequel to "Bells Will Be Ringing" a Merthur story. Side Arthur/Gwen, past Gwaine/Merlin.
As Freya settles into the Sanctuary, she and Merlin become closer. Meanwhile, a deadly creature finds its way inside and puts everyone at risk.
Set after Season 4, but before Season 5. This is my take on a way Arthur could have come to accept magic. Arthur and his Knights are out hunting, when they come face to face with the legendary Queen Mab, but things are not as they appear. Despite Arthurs' mistrust, this Queen and her King may have more in common with him and Gwen then he would like to admit.
"There, now you have some company whilst we're gone," Elyan said.
When Merlin literally runs into Arthur at a cafe, dumping coffee down both of them he expects that to be the end of that. But when Merlin and his best friend Gwen start looking for ways to keep him in the UK, Arthur offers a way. When two years are up, will they go their own ways or will they find their forever?
Modern AU. Arthur and Guinevere work in an office together. Merlin is Arthur's smart-alec friend determined on getting their heads out of their asses.
In the wake of the reveal of Merlin's magic camelot, and merlin in particular, experience some growing pains

This is a selection of character stories set at the end of Out of the Shadows, my reveal story. Arthur has restored magic, Merlin is the Court Sorcerer and married to Mithian. Merlin and Mithian are bringing up Mordred, Alice is back with Gaius and the Knights are all there and will have their own stories to tell.
Because there's not enough Merlin and Gwen out there. One-shot!
The Queen, who was next to her husband, stepped closer to him and knelt down, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Who's your father, sweetie?" He glanced at her, standing up straight as he reached into his back pocket, pulling out his dad's old red neckerchief. The whole room gasped at the sight of it. "He said this would prove I'm telling the truth, that his name is Merlin."
"It's a beautiful day outside," Gwen said from behind him. Arthur/Gwen/Merlin, Arthur/Merlin
Where had her two idiot boys gone off to? [Tavernfest Round #7]

But this mission isn't going to go exactly as planned... (no slash)
With Uther Pendragon dead, Arthur can finally begin the work of freeing magic. But it's a long road to freedom, and he has powerful enemies plotting in the shadows. Good thing he's got powerful allies, too. Book IV of The Albion Cycle.
Merlin needed to learn the Camelot dances for the servant's ball. After tripping over Gwen a few too many times, Arthur helps.
What if Merlin gave different advice and in turn Arthur made a different choice in S5E5: The Disir. Magic would have become accepted in Camelot early in season 5 and changed the entire course of the show. Magic reveal/Canon end fix/Magic returned to Camelot/In Character/Butterfly effect story/Alternative Ending. Beta: Koala789!
(Sequel to Legacies/standalone) Three years after the first riots in Camelot, England grows increasingly restless under Uther Pendragon. When laws on sorcery begin the change in other countries, and civil unrest stirs again, Merlin, still doubtful, faces a seemingly impossible destiny, and Arthur must choose a side as he struggles with his own beliefs on the persecution of sorcery.
Arthur thinks his sister's boyfriend is the perfect prefect until an enlightening game of never have I ever makes him realize that Merlin's reputation is far from accurate. This story contains no actual Harry Potter characters except mention of Dumbledore.
Without thinking, Arthur continued where Gaius had left off, grabbing the cloth and squeezing out the excess water before resting it on Merlin's forehead. Maybe it wouldn't do much but it made him feel better, knowing he was helping just a little. (Set in s01e13. While Arthur is recovering from the near-fatal bite of the Questing Beast, he discovers that Merlin has fallen ill too)
