Summary
When Merlin's magic is exposed shortly before season 2 starts, the path of destiny starts changing forever. Now on the run with Arthur, Morgana, and Gwen. Merlin hopes to convince Arthur that magic is totally good instead of him and Morgana just being an exception. Morgana, meanwhile, hopes to convince him to usurp his father. As allies are gathered and Arthur realizes the injustice in his kingdom, it looks more and more like he will have to act in a drastic way. A way he dreads.
Meanwhile, Arthur and Merlin are growing closer and closer and might just have feelings for each other. Something they probably should be better about realizing, considering the example of Gwen and Morgana right next to them.
In a land of myth and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom now rests on the shoulders of four, their names: Merlin, Arthur, Guinevere, and Morgana

Summary
Arthur has always taken Merlin on every mission—unarmoured, untrained, endlessly reckless.
It never used to matter.

Summary
The final battle happened and Merlin would not let Arthur die. So Arthur finds himself back in the past when his father was still king. Arthur decides to change things to do what is best for Camelot, and Merlin.
Different series of events that could have happened in my Time Travel and a Dragon, I mean a PenDragon story if Arthur was still human and didn't think like a dragon/human hybrid.

Summary
All witches and warlocks are omegas, and Merlin is no exception. He's hidden his presentation since the second he set foot in Camelot, for being a warlock's mate would grant incredible power- power that people would go great lengths to possess. When King Cenred of Essetir visits Camelot, Merlin finds himself the target of a man determined to bend magic to his will.
Merlin would rather die than give his magic over to anyone but Arthur. It just might come to that.

Summary
Started off as my answer to Tumblr's @merthurmicrofic prompt: Touch
Again, my ability to understand Micro fails me.
Like really fails me, second chapter destroyed microfiction dreams.Merlin meets Lance's group of Alpha friends, and find they're all very big on touch.
Well, all it seems, except Arthur.Just simple cuteness, no 18+ content. Tonnes of swearing though, and some insinuations, but no actual sex.
Now with second chapter Arthur's POV
And kissing, because as a commenter rightfully pointed out, no kissing was unacceptable.
Happy Reading!Series

Summary
Merlin has magic,” Uther’s words hit Merlin like a ton of bricks, the spirit disappearing as if it was never there.
Merlin closes his eyes, letting out the breath he’s been holding. He feels his back hit the door behind him, holding himself up against it. He doesn’t look at Arthur, just waits.
One breath, two breath, three breath. Nothing.
Merlin opens his eyes, looking up, half expecting Arthur to have disappeared to alert the guards. Arthur is staring at him, he is stock skill, breath coming out ragged and uneven. He looks crushed and not just from expelling his father’s spirit but that must also have contributed to it.
“Arthur,” Merlin tries, swallowing when his voice shakes with the anticipation of Arthur’s reaction.
“Is it true?” Arthur asks, his voice quiet but stern, he still holds the horn tightly in his grip by his side, his knuckles white with the force.
“Arthur I-“
“Yes or no, Merlin,” Arthur interrupts, voice suddenly louder in the empty corridor, he looks Merlin in the eye while he nods wordlessly before looking away, “you-you do. You would betray me? You?”

In which Arthur find out from spirit Uther about Merlin's magic. -

Summary
Extract from ‘Knights of the Temples: The Prince Arthur Story’ by T. H. Blanc, published 2021:
'There we have it. Violence, intrigue, danger, romance, and self-sacrifice. In a couple of short months, Captain Arthur Pendragon, eldest son of The Most Honourable The Marquess of Camelot, Lord Uther Pendragon, almost singlehandedly dismantled one of the most covert and sinister arms of the Axis Powers’ military forces, ensuring that its leader and the secret weapons she had designed would never again see the light of day. '
OR: The story of a young nobleman who couldn't stand by when his country needed him, and his loyal companion who would follow Arthur to the very ends of the Earth if he had to.

Summary
Book 1 of the series.
Bad at summaries, but this is basically a canon rewrite where Arthur knows about Merlins magic from episode 1 and this particular book is only season 1.
Arthur wants to be the protective, scary boyfriend that everyone fears, but that is actually Merlin. Arthur is very quick to be intrigued, but Merlin wants nothing to do with him, which does change.
Merlin is trying to rewrite destiny and change the route, not the outcome, which basically wages a war against the Gods and Fates.
Merlin is Arthur's anchor of self-restraint, a light in his life, much like how I imagine Ygraine was for Uther.
Spoiler: Arthur falls first, Merlin falls harder.Series

Summary
The year is 1899, and the Wild West was at the brink of death. This seems like a good thing to you and the Bradley Bros. circus.
Due to your mentor, Margaret, constantly drilling in your head and making it a point to speak ill of outlaws and how civilization will prevail as it did in England.
Running from your own haunting past regarding a... unique community you use to be apart of. A traveling circus with a pretentious British man seemed the best fit for you and your mother with the limited options available.
Forced out of Blackwater, your circus heads to Valentine for a fresh start. One mistake ricocheting into a domino effect of pain, uprooting your entire life in a single night. Forced to start over again with the Van der Linde gang.
You are faced with your hardest act yet, an emotional tightrope.
Caught in a chaotic balancing act, you must choose: remain emotionally guarded and save yourself from heartbreak, or take a leap of faith and risk falling in love with a hardened outlaw? -

Summary
Arthur Pendragon has spent his whole life untouched—by kindness, by desire, or anything resembling real intimacy. It never mattered. Not until a certain annoying manservant came to Camelot—Merlin—who disregarded all strict royal etiquette and showed no restraint when it came to sudden, reckless displays of affection. Now, there’s something impossible in the space between them, something Arthur doesn’t know how to name—only that he aches to close the distance.

A slow-burn touched-starved Arthur Pendragon story.

Guys, there was only one bed.
Guys, some obscure quest in the cold far-up mountains made them "huddle for warmth".
Guys, they might give in to this farm fantasy of theirs.
Can't I just put all the tropes in there?
This fic is rated MSI for Maximum Self Indulgence.

Little does he know that fate has a different plan and that his own son may be the undoing of his vicious plot.
Prince Arthur, barely a dozen summers old, watches as his father locks a young boy in the highest tower of Camelot. Curiosity draws him in, but it’s Merlin that keeps drawing him back. He quickly learns that the war is not what his father told him, and he must make his own choice to protect his kingdom or the innocent.

Summary
Arthur Pendragon and Merlin were literally from two different worlds. One is a prince from a great kingdom and the other a common farm boy from the next kingdom over. These two should have never met.
But that was before they realized their parents were once friends and arranged the two of them to marry when they reached adulthood. That was before Uther turned on magic and Hunith went on the run with her infant son.
Now, twenty years have passed and the Prince, Arthur Pendragon is far out of his depth. After four months of marriage and learning what he has about Merlin, he knows that things need to change, but doesn’t know what can be done.
And with every attempt at trying going wrong, with mysterious boys showing up wanting to be a knight, strange physician’s trying to coerce his consort away, even stranger ladies who’ve seen to weaken Arthur’s brain, and the arrival of an odd Druid boy they need to risk it all just to get to safety…will Arthur ever get things to go right?

Just Between Us, I Remember It by TheDreamPriestess for FathomMeOut

Summary
Arthur knew what a Sigil represented; a concept he had been introduced to as a young prince, late on those evenings his father could stand his presence for more than a moment. A marriage proposal of the deepest and most romantic kind, a callback to the traditions of old – especially along the Pendragon line.
As such, his message was clear.
He was going to marry Merlin.
No matter what it took.
