Summary
Arthur has always taken Merlin on every mission — unarmoured, untrained, endlessly reckless.
It never used to matter.
But lately, every danger feels sharper. Every close call lasts too long.
And Merlin is starting to notice the way Arthur hovers… and how the prince’s worry is beginning to look a lot like something else.

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
Morgana figured out Morgause's trick early: a bangle, ostensibly there for protection, that would slowly change her emotions, her thoughts, even her memories, until she was as full of rage as her sister.
Removing that sort of magic, even for Merlin, was never going to be easy.

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
Merlin can’t remember the last time he’s locked his bedroom door, if ever. But he chooses not to think about it. He merely sulks his way back to his bed, taking a moment to contemplate taking off his trousers and tunic from the night before. He decides not to think about that either.
Instead, he decides not to think at all. He just falls back into his bed, covers up his body more so in shame than for warmth, and closes his eyes.
Basically Merlin is sexually assaulted and this story follows how he and everyone else deals with it.
Spoiler alert: THEY DON'T HANDLE IT WELL.

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
A war rages between Camelot and the magical kingdom of Avalon. King Uther and King Balinor’s armies have been trapped in a stalemate for the last three years. However, King Uther suspects that the war is about to tip into his favor, now that he has kidnapped Avalon’s young prince. 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?

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
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
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
