Summary
It must be his fault, a punishment from the gods for not noticing Morgana’s short absence, nor the way she communicated with Morgause and Cenred. They wouldn’t be in this much trouble if that were the case. And maybe he wouldn’t have cobwebs in his hair nor a spider considering moving into his hair.
Merlin really doesn't like spiders who invade his personal space.

Summary
“Whatever you want, you can say in front of Merlin” he declared, pretending to absentmindedly pick up his tunic for the day, while he scrutinized his uncle. Agravaine was helpful, yes, but sometimes he felt… off. Like right now.
“Ah, I’m sorry, my lord, but it really is a delicate matter.” Agravaine’s lips barely curled into a snarl and as Arthur turned back fully, his default smile was back. It didn’t reach his eyes. “I mean no insult to your staff, of course.” Arthur would have scoffed at the mere idea that Merlin was only staff, if it wouldn’t have incriminated his actual feelings on the matter.
Arthur trusts Merlin, so Merlin stays. And his uncle has to deal with this, especially if he wants to bother Arthur with traitor matters at the break of... well, not dawn, but Arthur just woke up, okay? And his sleep-addled brain seems to notice that things are amiss with Agravaine...

Summary
“Sure” she agrees lightly and Merlin’s shoulders sag and he smiles over at Arthur. They must be somewhat new to this, Isolde guesses, judging by how hesitant that smile is.
But Arthur’s own beam leaves nothing to doubt, so she doesn’t.
Isolde thinks Merlin and Arthur's relationship is very similar to her own with Tristan; so it's high time for those two to acknowledge it. (Don't worry, she will help!)

Summary
“He’s insufferable!” she tells him.
“I know,” he agrees.
“With his… his… Brattish smirks and arrogance!”
Merlin and Vivian bond over Arthur being an idiot. How does that change the whole love potion ordeal?
Well, Merlin already kind-of-liked Arthur, but the prat's likeable traits are more... apparent under the enchantment.Series

Summary
Arthur was a battle-hardened warrior, trained to think in a snap and move quickly on his feet.
But at that moment, he froze.
He heard a cry of pain.
Merlin's cry of pain.
After a mission gone wrong, Arthur and Merlin, both terribly injured and barely upright, have to make their way through the forest and reach safety in Camelot. But even then, Merlin's still not safe, for the bonds of class and hierarchy put his life at risk, especially as Uther as king.

Summary
Merlin has secrets.
Some of them more obvious than others.
But when his family comes to town, declaring him their royal daughter and Arthur's fiance.... things get a little out of his control.
Good thing Uther Pendragon isn't as much of a horrible king as you'd expect.Warning: Mentions of transphobia, and good Uther Pendragon lmao.
Also Merlin has some personal issues about periods.
Edit: Deadnaming-------------------
Edit: In the story, Uther referrs to Merlin as "being cursed at birth to be born in the wrong body". To clarify: Being trans is NOT a curse.
I did not reedit the part, despite being made aware of the problem, because the reaction still fits to Uther's character and it may still be true to some people.
You're valid and beautiful people and the only curse you're under is other people's ignorance and blatant hatred against you.
I apologize for my mistake.A.N.:// The title is ironic. Because that's what Gwaine calls Arthur at the beginning.... and the end. But you'll see.

Summary
Arthur knew the bastet didn't die that night. At least not the night he told his father THAT she died.
Never did he imagine to find out what happened to her after.
Or who she married.
At least not until he met her child.
A small child with the ability to shape shift into a Dragon.Series

Summary
“How can one man be so stupid!”
If this sentence didn´t refer to Arthur Pendragon, then it would most likely describe his father.
And in this context –
Well let´s just say there was only one person who would talk this ill about the king and get away with it without being put in the stocks.Alternatively:
Uther decided that Arthur needs a manservant who can actually protect him. So obviously he lets the servants fight one another to determine who deserved the honor.
They have one month to prepare, but Arthur just can´t find a moment to ask Merlin to participate.
Until he sees Merlin´s strongest opponent and decides it´s probably better if he doesn´t.
Like that would stop Merlin. :3Series

Summary
Merlin cannot lose Arthur. And he won’t. What if he had called Kilgharrah a little sooner? What if he had been able to save Arthur’s life?
Would we finally get the Albion we dreamed about? An Albion where Merlin is the court sorcerer, sitting proudly at Arthur’s right on the round table? Where Merlin is respected, where magic is finally free? After all, we were promised this from the very start.
Arthur has begun to see his manservant in a new light. Will their relationship change when Arthur finally notices the depths of Merlin’s devotion?
Or, alternatively,
The story that will attempt to fix everything we did not get in canon. Featuring Merthur being gayer than canon, and an absence of Guinevere.

Summary
"Really?" Arthur asked, brushing the dirt off of him as he glowered at the man. "Again? I had it under control - and we aren't allies!" He added heatedly. Balinor shrugged, looking nonplussed by Arthur's anger as he stroked the dragon's wing.
"I know." Balinor said simply. "But I promised my son I wouldn't let you die."
"Your...You have a son?" Arthur demanded. Again, Balinor shrugged. "Why does your son...? Nevermind. Don't save me again!" He snapped, pointing a finger at the man. He turned to stalk back to the horse only for a column of fire to blow past him. The prince jumped. He spun around to tell the man off again but immediately noticed one of the remaining bandits who had been slowly creeping towards him burnt to a crisp. He looked back at Balinor.
"Sorry."
Or
Balinor lives. Arthur will do pretty much anything to get the man to stop saving his life.

Summary
“MERLIN!” Arthur shrieked as he dove for his sword. Merlin only groaned, raising his arm to push Will’s hand down as the damned idiot laughed wildly. “Keep your goddamn sorcerer in line, I swear to-”
“Beware, my prince.” Will interrupted solemnly as he raised his hands to signal complete silence “For my powers will surely turn you into the toad that you are. Bippity Boppity…Make Arthur Hoppity….” He said, wiggling his fingers. Arthur swore loudly. Merlin gave a cough that suspiciously sounded like a laugh before turning to fix his friend with a hard glare.
“Stop it.”
“He makes it too easy, Merlin. Honestly.”
Or
Will survived the battle of Ealdor and occasionally comes around to visit Merlin…And torture Arthur.

Summary
Merlin cooed, gaining the girl’s attention. “Hey, precious.” He smiled when she looked at him.
“Dad!” she called happily, reaching her hands out. Both Merlin and Arthur took a step back, eyebrows raised.
“Care to explain?” Arthur asked.
OR
The knights find a child on while searching the woods. Confusion ensues when the toddler turns out to be entirely convinced Merlin is her father. She's not exactly wrong...

Summary
Arthur could see his father glaring down - face red and eyes narrowed as he looked at Merlin with clear distaste.
"Once this over, sorcerer...I’ll burn you."
"You’ve already tried that," Merlin’s voice answered and Arthur had to bite his fist to keep from making any noise. “You need to accept you can’t kill me… Hand me that blanket, please.”
“I’m sure there must be some method… Beheading?”
“No, we tried that.”
“Hanging?”
“I just sort of... Swung there, remember?”
There was another pause.
“I should have made you keep that dragon below the castle so I could feed you to it.”
“Kilgharrah? He won’t eat me, but if you want to torture me than making me listen to his nonsense for an hour might do it.” Merlin said and there was a soft sigh from the other end of the room. “I’m glad you agreed to help me though. Usually I have to do the grunt work of saving Arthur myself.”
“I can’t wait to kill you.”
Or
Uther finds out about Merlin’s magic, but can’t seem to kill him. Merlin is just trying to protect Arthur. They become a begrudgingly effective duo. Arthur doesn't understand why they think he isn't noticing this.

Summary
"Your mother made me make my own pie with her yesterday." He said, sitting up to glare. "What is it with your family? Why do none of you respect nobles?" He said and Merlin dropped the plate of food he was carrying. "...I hate you." He sighed, staring at his food bouncing on the ground with a loud clatter. "I should hire your mother as my servant. She wouldn't drop my food." He added with a fierce nod.
"My mother is here?" He asked and Arthur paused.
"You haven’t seen her?"
"No. Fuck. It’s finally happening." He whispered. Arthur stared, absolutely baffled. "She’s come to kill me." He explained and dashed towards the door to peer outside.
"What?" Arthur snorted. "Merlin. Your mother can be very firm, but she’s not the killing type. She is too softhearted for such things." He said and Merlin slammed the door shut, leaning against the wood as if barricading it.
"If you're not careful you'll be next."
Or
Hunith occasionally visits Camelot. Arthur thinks she’s wonderful...Sometimes.

Summary
“Mordred, right?” Arthur asked, kneeling in front of him. The boy nodded, eyes wide as he looked at Arthur as if he might bolt at any moment. “What are you doing back in Camelot? My father won’t like seeing you again.”
“He’s hurt.” Mordred whispered and Arthur glanced over at where Merlin was unconscious. A sudden realization dawned on him.
“You healed him,” He said slowly “With magic.”
Mordred nodded. Arthur’s mind raced – thinking of all Merlin had survived in his encounters with bandits and sorcerers. Before he could ask if Mordred had been responsible for all of it, there was a groan as Merlin shifted, eyes flickering open.
“Arth – you!” He choked, sitting up quickly to grab Arthur’s arm as if he could yank the prince away. Mordred grinned.
“You’re awake!” He beamed and launched forward to hug him. Arthur watched as Merlin stiffened at the action – eyes widening before desperately trying to push him away.
“Arthur. Arthur, get him off of me-”
Or
After sneaking Mordred out of Camelot, he occasionally returns to make sure Merlin is doing okay. Arthur isn’t sure why this child is so concerned about the wellbeing of his servant… Nor Merlin's vehement attempts to ignore it.

Summary
It had just been a simple joke. With Merlin’s limitless powers and the way the magical community treated him like a god, it only made sense that his spouse would fill in the accompanying role. Choosing the moniker ‘Goddess’ had been nothing more than a jest, like when Gwaine calls him a Princess. He hadn’t meant for it to become a thing. He especially hadn’t meant to suddenly be responsible for hosting magical balls and blessing magical ogre babies!
Or the 5 times Arthur is treated like a goddess and the 1 time he acts like one.

Summary
It had to be a coincidence when Arthur gave into anything Merlin requested with just a few scritches to his head. Except it kept working. Really, Merlin hadn’t meant to discover Arthur’s little secret, but it was impossible to resist the power to influence the Prince of Camelot of all people. It wasn’t like Merlin was going to take advantage of it or anything. Surely, he wouldn’t use it for his own gain.
Or the 5 times Merlin gets want he wants from Arthur and the 1 times Arthur turns the table.
