La raison pour laquelle Arthur se lève le matin ...
Instead of Lancelot, Gwaine shows up and kills the griffin. Not wanting to mess with nobles, he lies about his heritage to avoid getting knighted. Merlin still doesn't see a problem.
She's Arthur's equal and has Magic like Merlin. What would happen in Camelot if a half-wild Irish princess with magic came to spend some time there? How will Arthur react to a girl with battle scars? And what about Merlin? A girl with powerful magic in Camelot...suddenly he's not alone.
"Assisted? I'm pretty sure I saved your life." "I had the situation perfec- Are you trying to make me reconsider letting you go?" It was supposed to be a one time thing. Arthur let the sorcerer run off with his life in return for him saving Arthur's. He had never expected to see the boy again, especially not only two days later in Gaius's chambers.
One day, when Merlin and the knights were all drunk, they convinced Merlin to reveal his deepest secret (that he is only pretending to be hopeless with a sword because he doesn't want to help during training) Shenanigans ensue
Her whole world was turned upside down when her curiosity got the better of her. Now she has to navigate through what it means and how to deal with this new-found information. Will become M in later chapters as the story progresses. A one-shot while I finish my other fic. If I see that this one has more attention, I'll weigh my options on which one to prioritise. Hope you like it!
Merlin should never ever listen to Arthur when he tells him he has a great idea. Because crawling up the waste shaft of a castle wasn't what Merlin had in mind.
When they slowly start to gather as a group of friends, all of the group slowly start to navigate the minefield of grown-up relationships. (I am struggling with all my on-going stories. This is going to have a limited number of chapters, it's just something to keep me going.)
Percy was a baker extraordinaire, and he'd finally been picked to be on the Great British Bake Off.
Merlin was hearing things. That's the last thing he needed in Camelot.
Inspired by a post I saw on Instagram. Merlin changes into the Dolma before the Battle of Camlann. Mass confusion. Arthur survives. Merlin, as the Dolma becomes Arthur's advisor on all things magical. Also, I wish they added the Dolma and Dragoon the Great to the character list. Oh, Dragoon also might make another appearance. Lancelot and Elyan are alive.
A little visit with some mischief from the future might give Merlin a little hope after some sad confusion
Council sessions were tedious, boring and repetitive. Everyone hated them. But no one had figured out it was Sir Leon's revenge plan. Oh, and Merlin had burned down half of the castle. Leon did not want to deal with things anymore.
Five times Merlin and Morgana try to play practical jokes on Uther, and one time the universe plays one on them.
[Updates Thursdays] Magic brought Addison from her time to Camelot so Magic should be able to bring her back, except magic is outlawed and anyone who can wield it is dead. So Addison lives, in the Camelot dungeons, enraging Uther, teasing Arthur and making friends out of the servants. But when Merlin comes, the real adventures starts. [Currently rewriting Season 1]
Kilgharrah has a birthday but what do you get a giant lizard?
Alternate ending for S5E09 'With All My Heart'. Merlin is too weak after summoning the goddess and needs to regain his strength before they head back to Camelot, so Arthur, Gwen and Mordred stay for the night in the cauldron of Arianrhod, forced to have an old sorceress for company. One shot, no slash, as always
It's not true that Arthur doesn't listen to what Merlin tells him. Not only does he listen, sometimes he even takes it seriously.
When Arthur discovers that both his manservant and adopted sister practice magic, he gets in way over his head trying to keep the pair of idiots from being caught red-handed.
It seems that in every battle, Merlin resorts to dropping tree branches on the heads of his and Arthur's enemies. But surely there are several problems with this as a battle tactic...? In which tree-branch-dropping goes very wrong, and Merlin learns to branch out. (Also fair warning this contains a plethora of truly awful puns so continue at your own risk.)
When Merlin confessed to practicing magic, Arthur thought he meant magic. Not, you know, MAGIC.
"Me, Sire? A sorcerer? Of course not." "You have magic! I saw you! And you don't deny it either!" Merlin rolled his eyes in the most ostentatious way possible. "Well yes, of course I have magic. I'm a warlock." "You just said you weren't a sorcerer!" "Exactly." Eventual fluffy Merlin/Arthur
"One wish for his mother's life and the whisperings of destiny could change Arthur's views on magic as he is transported to another version of his life." Royal!Bamf!Merlin. Set at the end of season three. Alternate Universe.
With his fiance waiting for him at the alter, Arthur decides he can't marry her. That only leaves one option: Run. And maybe take off with a cute stranger while he's at it. Merlin/Arthur slash.
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.
Tommy is a stableboy in the castle. He started keeping a diary a few months ago, it is his most precious possession. Gently poking fun at Merlin plotholes and a fun imagining of what life must have been like for a commoner in Camelot, dealing with the occasional dragon attack and escaped prisoner. Very roughly corresponds to the episode order
"There's too much fruit in the house!" Merlin cried out
There were sacred things that should be treated with respect, not that Arthur wasn't above twirling some of them around like toys, the git.
In the wake of the reveal of Merlin's magic camelot, and merlin in particular, experience some growing pains
Merlin might love watching Luke Skywalker try and escape the Ewok's trap, but Merlin's experience with net traps was quite different.
