Summary
Prince Merlin and his family were forced from their home in Tristram when he was only three years old. He grew up in Ealdor in Cenred's Kingdom, not far from his own. When he moves to Camelot, he must keep the fact that he is a Prince a secret from everyone, even Gaius.
Will Merlin ever return to his home? Would the people of Camelot accept him if they knew the truth?
***Notes: I got the name of Merlin's Kingdom from Diablo 3 and I do not own Merlin :) Double posted on Wattpad under a different username. I am almost always making edits or adding things here and there but it's usually nothing major. If there's ever major edits, I will leave a note :)

Summary
The Perilous Lands belong to the Dragonborn family, a most ancient noble family who’ve ruled since the Fisher King was injured. They have been treating the Fisher King’s injury ever since to prevent the infection from spreading onto the land, as the land of Elmet was tied to the ancient and powerful sorcerer.
The Dragonborns are warriors, as even the women of the Royal family are trained in combat.
Princess Muriel is the Dragonborn heir to the throne, and is primarily in charge of protecting Elmet’s borders with Camelot due to the many issues at that border in the past.
One day, however, she leads her Knights across the border to help a group of outnumbered Camelotian Knights against a group of bandits who turn out to be human traffickers.
It is like this that she meets Crown Prince Arthur of Camelot. -

Summary
“Good evening, my love! What kept you so long?” Arthur greeted him warmly as soon as he walked into the room.
“Your what now?!” Merlin blurted out wide-eyed. Surely he couldn't have heard that right.
But Arthur was unfazed by his apparent confusion and promptly planted a kiss on his lips as if it was the most natural thing in the world for him to do.
Merlin accidentally stumbles into a timeline where Arthur seems to think he is his lover, and a very affectionate one at that. Now he just has to figure out how he got there, how can he get back to his own time and why Arthur keeps thinking about poetry.
But little does he know that in this world he is a noble too and they are to be married within a month...
Or: Arthur is not emotionally constipated and Merlin doesn’t know how to deal with that.

Summary
A silent nod was her only answer. She frowned slightly. “Uther, promise me you will protect our child if anything happens to me. Promise me you will love them and raise them to be kind and good-hearted to their people.” Her voice rose slightly in pitch. Her eyes were bright with a look that Uther would never be able to get out of his head.

Summary
Kidnapped and banished at a young age, Merlin is a prince without a crown or kingdom. Though raised with magic and sword by his side, he faces a tumultuous path that takes him to Camelot and brings with it a destiny he never believed in. But at every turn he faces the consequences of his actions, unwilling as they might be, and his two secrets—magic and his dusty title— have never been close to tearing apart the life he built for himself in Camelot until a letter finds its way into Arthur's hands.
And the two lives Merlin has led begin to bleed together.

Summary
A few minutes of walking around, congratulating all the knights who were advancing to the last round of the tournament tomorrow, Merlin finally finds the tent he’s been looking for.
It doesn’t look much different from all the others, it’s only the Pendragon crest that makes it stand out to him. A golden dragon on a field of red. Merlin imagines the majestic creature lying on its side, bleeding out an ocean of blood and painting the vast expanse of a battlefield with crimson-red. There’s no fire, no magic, no life left in it.
It’s a chilling image. Merlin feels the coldness of death in his very human bones.

Summary
Merlin, Prince of Dracaneard, only meant to go visit Camelot in secret so he could see the land of prophecy and meet his uncle. He really didn’t intend to save Prince Arthur’s life or be given a job as his manservant for the trouble.
But it’s a good way to get to know the prince who is prophesied to unite Albion and bring back magic by Merlin’s side, isn’t it? And it’s not as if Arthur knows that his newest servant is the crown prince to Camelot’s enemy.
Surely, this won’t turn ten shades of complicated all too soon.

Summary
Sequel to Of Sorcerers and Nonchanters
BBC Merlin but not like you know it.
A role reversal.
What if not having magic was illegal?
What if Merlin was the prince instead of Arthur?
What if Arthur was Merlin’s manservant?
How would all of this change the story that we all know and love.
***
Mordred had gotten what he had wanted.
He had spread his hatred, his death and his destruction, killing and tearing down those that were in his way to the throne. He had slain countless of innocents including Ygraine, a loss that lay heavy inside of Arthur’s chest. He was barely holding on since his return to the world of the living he was sure that soon he was going to break. However, he was not going to let anyone see, he had to be strong, he had to be stoic and he had to be brave. He was Arthur Pendragon, the supposed King of a broken kingdom and supposed king of a dying race. The weight was on his shoulders and he did not have time to stop and think. If he did that, he probably will never return to his feet again. At least not whole.
.There was a great fight ahead of them that they were going to have to be ready for.
No matter what.Series

Summary
A Merlin parody of The Swan Princess (+ some Brave & Anastasia mixed in, too).
As an act of goodwill following a successful peace treaty with Camelot, the leaders of the Dragonrider Clan offer High Dragonlord Balinor’s firstborn child to be the future betrothed of Uther Pendragon’s young son, the two-year-old Prince Arthur. Half a year later, when Lady Hunith gives birth to a baby boy, little Merlin is welcomed with open arms by both peoples.
Now eleven and nine years old respectively, Arthur and Merlin are formally introduced for the first time, and it goes about as well as you’d expect (which is to say, not at all). But no worries, they still have a decade to grow to like each other enough for the engagement to proceed without any problems. That’s a lot of time to fall in love... so it’s practically a done deal. Right?

Summary
'Arthur stared down at him, breathing heavily, eyes drifting across Merlins face in a way that was beginning to make him feel like a prize cut of meat. He wasn’t quite sure whether to look away and risk losing the game of mental gymnastics they had been performing, or to return the intensity and chance doing something incredibly improper. Like hitting him. Or worse.'
When Sir Arthur of Camelot is sent to the Kingdom of Ealdor to foster friendship between the two previously warring nations, Prince Merlin gets more than he bargained for with the imperious Knight. A little ire and a lot of attraction spurns a secret relationship neither of them could have anticipated. With the weight of a prophecy that divides them and Sir Arthur in a battle between love and a Knight's honour, can they ever really be together in a tale of two kingdoms who seem destined to be at war?

Summary
“You should be more careful who you manhandle,” Merlin says, a teasing smile on their lips and a playful glint in their eyes. “You may mess with the wrong person.”
Lancelot raises a brow, the corner of his mouth quirking up. “Oh, really?” he asks, faux curiosity saturating his voice.

Summary
“You’re saying, where you’re from… Arthur is your manservant?”
He couldn't hide the amusement in his voice even if he wanted to, he recalls the coincidental conversation he and Arthur had earlier, he can already imagine Arthur mucking out the stables, the thought of it alone fills Merlin’s heart with gleeful delight.
His counterpart scoffs looking at his own Arthur with a bemused smile, “believe me, I can’t imagine him being a prince let alone the Prince of Camelot”
Servant Arthur just looks overwhelmed, glancing between the two Merlins with a constipated face.
Or:
Merlin and Arthur were coming back from a solo mission when they encountered a very odd and unlikely pair in the woods

The swap au no one asked for but i'm writing it anyway cause its funny

Summary
At sixteen, Prince Merlin saw his kingdom destroyed and was forced into an engagement with King Cenred just because of his magic.

But it isn't long before the trip takes a turn for the worst and Merlin finds himself kidnapped yet again, this time by the unfairly hot and unbearably arrogant Prince Arthur Pendragon of Camelot, the very same kingdom with a reputation for making sorcerers’ heads roll. This should be fun...
