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.

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?

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?

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
Loneliness is an insidious thing. When Merlin looks at Arthur, he sees not just a prince waiting for his time to rule, but a young man struggling to find his place in the world, with little help from anyone else.
The truth is, Arthur needs more than the friendship Merlin can offer. He needs people he can trust: men and women who will become his court and his confidants, and if he is going to survive to take the throne and lead Camelot into its golden age, he needs them sooner rather than later.
Finding loopholes in Uther’s laws is no easy feat. Court life is a dangerous game, but it’s one Merlin has every intention of winning so that Arthur can have knights of his choosing by his side.
And then there is the matter of his magic…

Summary
After Arthur disobeyed his father and retrieved the Mortaeus flower for Merlin's cure, Arthur's frantic pleading to save Merlin led to a misunderstanding that actually convinced Uther to take the flower to Gaius.
Now all Arthur has to do is explain to Merlin why Uther thinks they are lovers.
And while Uther is supportive of the relationship, he requires it kept secret. But in his paranoia, Uther misinterprets every innocent interaction between the two as something far more intimate, to the embarrassment of everyone involved.
And then the knights begin showing up...

Words I'll never speak, speeches you'll never read by thelastpendragon

Summary
It was the evening of Samhain and, like always, Arthur read over the speech Merlin had written for him before the feast. Only this time, his words almost moved him to tears. He knew Merlin was a gifted writer, but this was something else. This was personal. And so devastating that anyone who read it may think the author of such speech had undergone the deepest tragedy. And he couldn't help but wonder...
Just how much grief was Merlin carrying behind that cheeky smile?
Or: what their dynamic could've been in S5 if Arthur was just a bit more perceptive and less emotionally constipated.

Summary
In an attempt to reconcile with Gwen, Elyan decides he wants to do something nice for her. In order to do that, he recruits none other than Merlin to help him out. However, Elyan quickly finds that even the simplest of tasks are an adventure when Merlin’s involved and while trying to make things right with his little sister he realizes he may have accidentally adopted a little brother as well.
Other shit goes down too. For instance, Arthur suspects a courtship between Elyan and Merlin and partners up with a clueless Percival to figure it out. Gwaine and Lancelot fear Merlin is involved in some dangerous magical predicament he’s not telling them about. And Leon and Gaius vent over a cup of tea.
So really a bunch of unlikely duos spring up. When in May……. I guess.

Summary
Deep within the mysterious, dark forest, I found Merlin, a lost and helpless nine-year-old boy. As a prince, the son of the powerful Sultan, my destiny seemed predetermined, but my heart urged me to bring him to the palace and raise Merlin as my own son. Despite my father's objections and the resistance of Mahidebran, my favorite concubine, who already had a son with me named Mustafa, I couldn't resist the idea of giving my young heir an older brother. What I didn't know then was how tangled our family history would become, nor how Merlin would change our lives in ways we could never have imagined.

Summary
He rose triumphantly, and, locking eyes with Arthur, brought the apple to his lips and took a large bite.
The effect was instantaneous. Merlin slackened; the apple fell from his grasp with a dull thud and rolled under the bed. He swayed precariously, and Arthur, sensing a man not long for the world of consciousness, jumped up. -

Summary
“Forget I said anything,” Merlin tried, failing to smother his snickering. He lowered his eyes to the ground, and bit down on his grin even as his shoulders shook with laughter. Neither of them was fooled. “Of course you’re not jealous. Why would you be? Just because Ser Erden is so very charming—”
“He is not—”
“And chivalrous—"
“I bet he beats his servants,” Arthur insisted, with no proof or reason. “And his dogs.”
“And handsome—”
“Handsome?!” Arthur shouted, so loud that it boomed in Merlin’s ears. He jerked his head up in surprise. Dark spots of red had bloomed across Arthur’s cheeks, flush and furious. “He is not! He’s—shut up, Merlin!”

Summary
“Lord Geoffrey,” Arthur sighs, rubbing a hand along his brow in frustration. “We’ve talked about this. I am not, at this point, interested in marriage.”
Geoffrey looks over at him then, lips pinched and eyebrows high on his forehead. “No sire. I shouldn’t think you would be the right person for this, anyways. Forgive me for saying so, but I hardly think there’s a magical being in all of Albion that would happily marry you, the son of Uther Pendragon.”
Arthur flushes in anger and embarrassment, despite how he privately agrees with Geoffrey. It shouldn’t bother him so much, really— after all, he intends to marry for love. Still, the claim that no being of magic could ever love him stings for a reason he can’t quite pin.
“No, I was thinking marrying off your Court Sorcerer might be a more effective strategy for gaining magical allies.” Arthur chokes on his own spit.
Camelot has legalized magic, but needs a magical political marriage to seal the deal. Merlin gets courted. Arthur pines, stresses, and pines some more.

But when her father is accused of treason and executed by King Uther, everything changes. Driven by a thirst for revenge, she sets out for Camelot to bring Uther to justice.
On her quest for revenge, Guinevere is drawn to Prince Arthur, the man prophesied to be Camelot’s true king. With each passing day, however, her feelings for Arthur grow, forcing her to confront an impossible choice—pursue the justice she craves, or risk everything for the love she never expected.

Summary
The Prince, despite his best efforts, could not stop his hand from shaking as he held his sword to Merlin’s- no, not Merlin’s- pulse. The boy tried to crawl backwards a bit, away from the sharp edge, but Arthur just moved forward with him. The sword trembled with adrenaline against the sorcerer’s pale skin. Arthur couldn’t help but notice the boy’s ruddy cheeks, bright red from the cold and exertion. The snow made light dance in his tear tracks. The neckerchief that Merlin commonly wore was discarded on the snow; It must have fallen during the fight. It left his smooth neck exposed to the cold, riddled with goosebumps, and unmarred save for the blood-soaked steel, pressing in on his pulse point. Arthur could not deny that the… thing wearing Merlin’s face was beautiful.
Merlin is forced to reveal his powers during an attack. Chaos and angst ensue. I feel like most people give Arthur too much credit in magic reveals.
