    Summary

    “Where did you learn to do that?” Gwaine asked, following Merlin up the bank.
     
    “This is how normal people fish,” Merlin replied dryly. “Not trying to stab them with swords.”

    “This is a knife,” Gwaine retorted, sounding every bit as sulky as he felt.

    “Still, you didn’t catch a fish.”

     
    ------------------------------------------------------

    Gwaine saves a young Merlin from a beating and ends up with a new little brother to take care of on his travels.

    Or, what would Merlin be like if he had Gwaine influencing him over his formative years?

    Summary

    “You have to listen to me!” Arthur said, stomping his foot as he tried to regain the other boy’s attention “I’m the prince!” He shouted and reached forward to jab at his arm. The boy looked at him with consideration.

    “My mama says I should only listen to people who are smarter than me,” He said calmly and tilted his head “Are you smarter than me?”

    “Yes! I know how to count to ten.”

    “Well, I know how to count to twenty,” The boy shrugged and went back to the flowers “So I guess you have to listen to me.”

    Arthur gaped. He wasn’t sure how this had all gone so wrong.

    “I don’t like you,” He muttered and plopped onto the ground next to him. He wrinkled his nose, eyes searching the empty forest for a moment before turning back to the boy “You’re going to be my friend.”

    “No, thank you.”

    Or

    Instead of Ygraine dying as the cost for Arthur’s birth, it was an important druid leader. This leads to a massive war between magic and non-magical creatures… That isn’t why Merlin is Arthur’s enemy though. That’s more because he said his hair isn’t pretty.

    Summary

    "...'Not magic, idiot. You, Merlin' he clarifies without letting him go, little more than a murmur, 'you make me forget too much and I don't know what will happen because I can't forget who I am forever. I can't forget it'.

    'I don't want you to forget' Merlin says immediately, without hesitation.
    If there's one thing he's sure of - except his feelings - it's Arthur's destiny".

    Summary

    Merlin suffers a small accident that turns him into a five-year-old kid. While Gaius works on an antidote, Arthur agrees to take care of Merlin, unaware that he will embark on a crazy week in which, thanks to this strange and at the same time familiar child, he will get to know his servant better and begin to understand what he really feels for Merlin.

    This is a tale full of Arthur being protective, of Merlin being Merlin, and of the two of them being the best duo in the history of television. It contains magically appearing chickens, overly sincere children, princes wanting to be swallowed up by the earth, veiled confessions, bedtime stories, entrenched secrets and agonizing doubts. Featuring Gwen being the kindest and most generous soul in Camelot and Lancelot and Gwaine being the great friends that they always are. The rest of the knights, Gaius, and a decrepit Uther complete the scene.

    Warning: in this story everyone adores Merlin. After all, isn't this what the original show is about?

    Summary

    Gaius tells him near the end of their lesson that sometimes, people’s personality traits can indicate their secondary gender. That plants an idea in Merlin’s head. Gaius then tells him that sometimes alphas and omegas can, consciously or not, tell the secondary gender of someone who hasn’t presented because of their enhanced sense of smell. That reinforces the idea in Merlin’s head.

    OR

    Merlin was Uther Pendragon’s Ward. He is only ten summers. He’s a late bloomer. It changes things.

    Summary

    “You don’t seem like a king.”

    Arthur lowered the scroll onto his lap and peered over at the child, curious and maybe a little offended. “Why not?”

    Merlin shrugged. “You don’t sound like a king, for one.”

    “And pray tell, Merlin, how is a king supposed to sound?”

    “I don’t know,” he muttered. “Strong. Powerful.” Suddenly Merlin sat up straight, puffing his chest out and pinching his face into a rugged scowl. His voice pitched low, sounding odd in his young body. “My name’s Arthur Pendragon,” he imitated theatrically.

    Arthur couldn’t help his amused snort at his antics. “Wrong," he said, returning to the scroll. "A king doesn’t have to say his name, the people would already know it.”

    Merlin smiled, a teasing gleam in his eyes. “A good king doesn’t,” he mumbled under his breath, obviously still intending for Arthur to hear.

    “The only reason I don’t ‘sound like a king’ is because I have to put up with all your insolence.”

    That gloating smile grew on Merlin’s lips and Arthur knew he was going to lose this battle. “A good king wouldn’t put up with that either.”

    Summary

    Arthur wakes up to find a de-aged Merlin sitting in his room- a Merlin with no memories of Camelot. The knights all offer to help- but the one thing they can't understand is why Merlin seems so scared of 'the knights in the red capes', and why he keeps pleading with them not to burn him.
    As Merlin begins to get his memories back, the knights find out more and more about their friend while he remembers and reveals his life in Camelot.
    I'm not great at summaries, but please give the story a shot!

    Edit: I just saw that this story has a little over 10,000 hits, which is absolutely mindblowing! It's so humbling to envision a concert's worth of people reading my fanfic, and I am so grateful for all of you. I never expected this type of response, and I truly can't thank you enough for all of the support <3

    Summary

    Merlin skips a year of school when he is seven and ends up in Year Four instead of Year Three. The older kids all pick on him and the worst is by far Arthur. A stolen book brings Arthur and Merlin together, and they become best friends. Sadly, nothing they do can stop Arthur from being sent away.

    Morgana pressures Arthur to hit on a guy in the pub. He does it to shut her up, but it turns out Emrys is actually a lot of fun to be around. One date turns into many. Arthur has never been happier.

    Seems like fate had something else in store for Arthur and Merlin after all.
