Summary
Prince Arthur did not intend to bring Merlin on patrol, he didn’t even know his manservant could ride a horse. But he can’t say no to that grin, not when Merlin has gone and packed and saddled up a horse for himself without asking. It’s a dull, routine patrol along the border, almost a formality at this point. Even if magic is legal in Escetir, they’ve held a shaky peace treaty with Camelot for over a decade; it’s unlikely they’ll see any danger.
But what Arthur does not know is that the recent spike in deaths of magical creatures in Camelot has not gone unnoticed. There are whispers that King Uther is a liar and a hypocrite, now secretly rebuilding his magical defence. And to bring sorcery to the border - well now, that would be an act of aggression tantamount to declaring war.

Summary
When Arthur and his knights are led into a trap and captured on Dyfed’s territory, Gwen is prompted to invoke the right of single combat. But, when Dyfed’s chosen champion is revealed to be a powerful sorceress, Merlin must take on the guise of Emrys to fight for Camelot. In doing so, the young warlock will discover just how much he is willing to sacrifice for his friends, and for the future he believes Arthur Pendragon is destined to create.
“It had never been the dragon’s prophecy he believed in so fiercely– it was Arthur. If Arthur died here, it would be like losing a part of himself. He would forever be incomplete. Severed. Merlin would remain frozen in time.”

Summary
After years of increasingly dangerous magical attacks, Arthur finally decides that he should know his enemy, and cracks open a bestiary to study monsters. To his shock, the book talks about people who were *born* with magic, and suddenly everything makes a lot more sense, because one of the entries reads as though it was written with Merlin specifically in mind!
Alternatively: Arthur picks up the medieval equivalent of a D&D manual, and puts two and two together, but still somehow arrives at three

Summary
Annabeth sighed, before walking where Thalia was, elbowed her, and asked. “What’s going on?”
Percy replied. “Well, Hazel just finds out that Frank had another lover before her.”
Merlin frowned, before kissing Percy's temple gently. “But… Well, Hazel didn’t have two other lovers before Frank? As Gwen, I mean.”
“Yes,” Nico nodded, smiling amused, “but, well, Hazel is still pissed that Frank didn’t tell her the moment he remembered.”

Summary
What if Les Mis took place in Camelot? What if Jean was actually a warlock named Merlin? What if Marius was a young boy named Mordred?
Not perfectly loyal to Les Mis or Merlin, respectively. I will be writing the scenes, not just plugging song lyrics in and changing names in post. This will take time, there will be a chapter for every song in Les Mis, and perhaps a few between. I have outlined the entire story and written this prologue. Chapters won't come out on a specific schedule as I start college next week, but it is something I'm excited about. If this peaks your interest, stay tuned.

Summary
With Vivian cured and Camelot's alliance with King Olaf reaffirmed and stronger than ever, Merlin prepares to visit another ally: Princess Elena.
Yet, there are complications. Gwaine, more protective than ever, seems to realize that Merlin is still keeping secrets, and there are still those who oppose the idea of decriminalizing sorcerery. And, of course, there's the lingering question of Morgana's influence. Where is she? When will she make her next move? And what new threats might Merlin and his knights face as they travel the Kingdoms?
~a direct sequel to Bad Dreams; this will not make sense if you haven't read the other entries in the series~

Summary
‘His grave-digger remained silent, and Merlin was forced to blink away the haze in his eyes while he took shuddering breaths, trying to remember how to be in the world again. What his eyes first caught, before his vision returned to him fully, was the glint of something metallic covering the body before him. The silhouette was bulky against the sun, and the shoulders were hunched slightly as if carrying a great weight, heaving with deep breaths. Then, he saw the blonde hair, and his breath caught. Finally, his vision came fully to rest on a pair of blue eyes.’
Merlin has almost given up hope waiting for Arthur's return. So of course, that's when Arthur decides to return.

Summary
Fifteen hundred years. Fifteen hundred years and nothing– no Arthur, no Gaius, no Gwen nor Gwaine. Morgana, Uther, Mordred. Hunith. Not a soul from his past has ever reappeared so why now? What could possibly be so apocalyptic that this reunion had to happen on an ordinary Tuesday afternoon outside his clinic on a smoke break instead of during the literal upcoming global-warming induced Armageddon? Even 2020's pandemic which shut the world down for two entire years would have been a more sensible time to kill everyone.
You'd think after so long intimate with the universe Merlin would understand it a little better.

Summary
Merlin reveals his magic in the battle against Morgana and Helios.
He wakes up in the prison cell next to Morgana’s.
This is actually not the worst thing that could happen to them— or to Camelot.
…
“State secret,” Morgana said bitterly. “Uther probably killed the sorcerer who did it, but these dungeons were charmed to make sure no one could use their magic down here.”
“The perfect place to store Emrys and the last High Priestess of the Old Religion,” Merlin said wryly.
Morgana gave him a strange look, and Merlin shrugged. He didn’t really understand it either.

Summary
I'm going to be honest I haven't actually finished merlin, but I'm new to the fandom and wanted to dip my toes into the fanfic side. I was inspired from the line in skyward sword and think it would be a cool explanation for Merlin being the chosen one. There will probably be more in this AU because I like the idea so much, but I just wanted to start simple. I haven't written in a while. I remember seeing a similar fic that inspired me, but now I can't find it for the life of me so thank you whoever you are.

Summary
Weakness. Fear. Shame.
Give in, whispers the ruthless voice. You are not worthy to be king. You can't win.
She reads his greatest fear, that he will never be worthy, but he will never stop fighting her. He is no match for the powers of magic leveled against him, and yet he clings desperately to the spark at the center of his soul, just enough to refuse and reject. To remain himself.
But he cannot fight forever, and there is no one to save him. Soon, the darkness will claim him for good, and Morgana will prevail.
Arthur's sleepless nights become a battle for his life, and only Merlin can save him.
