Summary
Once upon a time, long, long ago—well, more like 20 years ago—Ygraine married Uther in front of all the people of Camelot. Instead of a honeymoon, Uther purged all the kingdoms of magic and brought decades of stability to the land.
He rounded up all the sorcerers and their sidekicks—basically, all the really interesting people—and he booted them off to the Isle of the Lost with a magical barrier to keep them there.
That’s where Merlin grew up: no magic and no way out. Or so he thought.
Prince Arthur grew up in a peaceful land, surrounded by his people, who were devoted to him, and parents who loved him. Still, there was always a shadow cast onto Camelot by the Isle that loomed just on the horizon.
His first proclamation as Crown Prince sends shockwaves through the kingdom: four misfits from the Isle are to be brought into Camelot.
Chaos ensues.
Or, a Descendants-inspired fic.

Summary
It was two hundred years after Arthur's death, and Merlin was desperate, so he plunged into the lake of Avalon.
Of course he is not dead, and he returns to Ealdor's cabin, where Arthur is waiting for his confession. Truth and reality, past and future, threads of fate vibrate as their stories rewrite the pages.
There is one thing in the world more obscure than the deepest shadow, more glaring than the brightest sun - we call it destiny. -

Summary
1X11 rewrite. Merlin managed to save the unicorn but in the process ends up stranded with Arthur in the forest injured, isolated, and cold in one of Camelot’s worst storm of the century.

Immortal Idiots and the Very Persistent Prophecy by emformaladapted

Summary
Merlin thought immortality would come with fewer divine interventions.
Unfortunately for her (and her endlessly-patient husband Leon), the Triple Goddess has other plans. With the modern world on fire and destiny well and truly off the rails, the Goddess decides there’s only one way to fix things: send Merlin—now a chronically anxious woman with an emotional support dog named Fish—back to Camelot to finally get it right.
There’s just one problem.
Neither Merlin nor Leon remember much about their lives in Camelot.Now thrown centuries into the past with vague memories, poor mental health and a very enthusiastic dog, Merlin and Leon must navigate royal politics, prophetic pressure, and the world’s most inconvenient déjà vu. Because this time, the fate of the future depends on a sorceress with sketchy magical instincts and a knight who’s just trying to keep her from crying in front of Arthur.
The world doesn’t need a king.
It needs a magical mess, her confused husband, and a very good dog. -

Summary
Merlin always suspected destiny had it out for him. That suspicion became certainty when Arthur decided to stage a play.
About Emrys.
With glitter.
Arthur calls it cultural integration. Merlin calls it a war crime. Possibly several.
Or: The one where Arthur discovers ‘theatre’ and Merlin discovers existential regret.

Summary
Loneliness is an insidious thing. When Merlin looks at Arthur, he sees not just a prince waiting for his time to rule, but a young man struggling to find his place in the world, with little help from anyone else.
The truth is, Arthur needs more than the friendship Merlin can offer. He needs people he can trust: men and women who will become his court and his confidants, and if he is going to survive to take the throne and lead Camelot into its golden age, he needs them sooner rather than later.
Finding loopholes in Uther’s laws is no easy feat. Court life is a dangerous game, but it’s one Merlin has every intention of winning so that Arthur can have knights of his choosing by his side.
And then there is the matter of his magic…

Summary
Camelot is made of many people working to help the king and her people. This is a collection of people going about their lives and seeing the chaos that is Arthur and Merlin.
-
Alternatively, I wondered how people who just wanted to live in Camelot viewed it all and thus, this was born.
-
Really just an excuse to write about people seeing Merlin as a terrible servant who's somehow friends (?) with the king. -

Summary
When Arthurs curiosity leads him to uncovering a secret about a certain startled stoat of a manservant, he falls back on an old habit: Going to Morgana for Help. What follows is the complicated path of unraveling truths, feelings, and the occasional plot to see Camelot destroyed.
Destiny did not see this coming.

Summary
In this AU, Arthur found out Merlin was immortal two years before his death. He spoke to the Fates, and they revealed certain truths to him. So now, in the time he has left, Arthur spends his days writing—1,500 letters to be exact. One letter for each year of Merlin’s life, asking him to do one thing that year until Arthur returns in the future.
But I’m using this idea to practice my writing. I hope you enjoy it.
(I post a letter every day. )

Summary

This AU follows Merlin and his friends as they navigate the perilous game of deciding who to trust while coping and resisting a merciless tyrant. Are Merlin and Arthur still two sides of the same coin? Who will win Camelot's coin toss of destiny?

Mordred lost his mother. Merlin, his father, is doing his best not to fall apart.
Arthur is a child therapist. He’s dealt with grief before — just never his own.

Summary
The problem with Legends is that, over time, they are altered, misremembered, or forgotten all together. But some Legends are so great, they must be relived, again and again, until they get it right.
Nick dreams only of being the Rugby King of Truham Grammar. Beyond that, he has no idea what he wants to do with his future. Until he meets a boy with curly hair, blue eyes, and dimples.
Charlie dreams of Dragons, and Magick, of brave Knights, and a quest set before him, to bring back the olde ways, and set right the Legend that has been retold thousands of times. This time, he vows to set the record straight (Or not so straight.)
Who knew their Destinies would collide?

When Morgana invokes a forbidden spell, the ancient and powerful Court of Magic is summoned to pass judgment on Uther Pendragon and his bloodline for their crimes against the magical world.
But for the verdict to be carried out, every seat on the Council must be filled, and the chair of the Dragonlords has long stood empty.
Now Merlin faces an impossible choice: reveal his true identity to cast the final vote, risking exposure and execution... or remain silent and let justice fall upon his best friend's father.
