Summary
In the Omegaverse, 8-year-old Merlin is sacrificed to the fierce talking dragon Arthur. Moved by an unexplainable instinct, instead of eating him, Alpha Arthur takes Merlin in, treating him as his most precious treasure—his personal human, companion, and something far more sacred. Orphaned Merlin sees Arthur as a big brother figure, and Arthur sees Merlin as his human to raise and protect.
Unknown to Arthur, the true reason he’s so fiercely protective and possessive stems from Merlin being an Omega, a fact neither of them realize. Sheltered his whole life in the mountains with only his dragon, Merlin doesn't know what an Alpha or Omega is. When Merlin's Omega instincts start to stir, he is left very, very confused. Can Arthur help?

Summary
After a plague ravages Albion, an orphaned Merlin arrives in Camelot, where he falls in the hands of the criminal Kanen. Too afraid to use his magic, Merlin has no other choice but to join Kanen’s gang of child thieves and steal to survive. Ten months later, Prince Arthur returns from a mission to a crime-infested city and disarrayed court, with King Uther paralysed by grief over Morgana’s death. Determined to restore order, Arthur tackles the task of cleaning up the Lower Town, where he meets Merlin—only to learn that the problems in Camelot run far deeper than he had first thought…

Summary
Young and alone, a recently orphaned Merlin finds himself thrown into a world he never saw himself fitting into. Surrounded by nobles and purebloods, he does his best to find his purpose by training to be a knight under the guidance of one of the best in the world.
--------
Merlin's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing the king's proclamation. He glanced at General Thorn. "Mentor me?" he questioned, fumbling over his words in surprise. "I don't want to be a knight.""You have no parents, no home, no food," the king stated bluntly. "I could send you back to the streets still starving or even throw you in the dungeons, considering your open admission of willingness to commit crimes. But Jonah has been both my advisor and my friend for many years, and if he believes in you, there must be a reason why. Like it or not, he will mentor you, and I suggest you heed his lessons if you want to stay out of my dungeons."

Summary
For Merlin, having the world fall apart around him was nothing new, but having someone there to help him pick up the pieces afterwards unfortunately was. Until it happened twice, with two very special people who appeared in his life when he most needed saving.
Modern AU, friendship fic. Sort of Christmas story.

Summary
Arthur chewed his lip. “What if I never get kissed?” He says quickly.

they make a deal. If they don’t have their first kiss by the time they’re twenty five, they’ll just kiss each other. Fortunately, they don’t have to wait that long.

Summary
"Emrys.
An inspector’s nightmare. Robin hood’s wet dream. Arthur’s life for the past seven years.
The man was a mystery, enigma – nearly a myth, if it wasn’t for a thin folder in Arthur’s desk full of grainy photos, eyewitness accounts and scraps of books to prove otherwise. To say he was a thief would be to not do the man justice; Emrys was so much more. He was a revolutionary, a master of disguise, an obvious intellect, an artist, and an omen.
He was a proper adversary."
Arthur has been on the trail of Emrys, infamous thief and even more elusive man, for nearly his whole career. It's been a game of cat and mouse, traversing across the globe. That all changes one day, though, when Arthur gets an unexpected visitor and unwanted information. Suddenly, the Inspector's world is turned upside down, as he is shoved into a conspiracy of epic proportions, and forced into an underworld he never expected existed - with one sole goal: save Emrys before it's too late. But with the clock counting down, opposing loyalties rearing their ugly heads and run-ins with the law, can Arthur save Merlin before it's too late?

Summary
Robin Hood-esque Merthur AU.
Arthur has been hunting the mysterious thief Emrys and his confederates for ages. But the man is like smoke. He leaves no trace besides the short notes explaining how he is only "returning the gold to the people". All Arthur knows is that Emrys doesn't work alone, and he takes his name from a druid legend.
But, when he does meet the mysterious man, will he be able to do what his father asks? Or is this the beginning of a new age in Camelot?
