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
"Let him think I hate him. If that’ll stop him from risking his neck for me over and over again, then it’s a sacrifice I don’t have to think twice about."
—
Arthur finds out Merlin has magic. He also finds out how often Merlin risked his life for him and so, he does the only thing he can think of to protect him: banishment.
Hurt and angry, Merlin leaves and swears to not look back.
But, when two years pass and Morgana shows up at Merlin’s door, urging him to fill Gaius’ position as Court Physician, Merlin agrees. He really doesn’t know why, but Arthur is sure Merlin would do just about anything to get on his nerves.
Unprepared for the shock of seeing Merlin back in the castle, Arthur is forced to speed along his plans to lift the ban on magic. But between stubborn councilors, a mysterious plague, a still angry Merlin, and Morgana being Morgana, Arthur is fairly certain he’ll lose his mind before the first year of his reign even ends.

Arthur was supposed to humilate him. Pretend he were gay and make a fool of the new kid who would be stupid enough to get a crush on him...
Arthur was supposed to do a lot of things.
Arthur was supposed to NOT do a lot of things too.

Summary
The knights had sprung to their feet. Percival and Elyan had pulled him back, while Arthur and Leon stood in front. Lancelot and Gwaine were flanking them, the latter showing none of the alcohol sickness he had been prior.
But Mordred’s eyes were fixated on the wall and the text therein.
The left option stood there, upon the wall, like a tantalizing invitation, a riddle within a mystery; the right option seemed like both a warning and a reprieve from the unknown.
Mordred suddenly found himself unable to breathe.
OR:
After waking up in an unfamiliar and barren room, Arthur and the Knights are forced into solving a mystery which only brings about more questions than it answers. Worst of all, Mordred fears the secrecy of sorcery will only get more jeopardized.

Summary
"Arthur was certain that Merlin would feel the same undeniable spark that he himself had felt during their Truth or Dare kiss. Arthur knew that if he could kiss Merlin again—proving that Arthur was not a bad kisser, thank you very much—then Merlin would swoon, or whatever the Merlin-equivalent of swooning was."
or, King Arthur is a silly little idiot, and the gang plays Truth or Dare

Summary
He couldn’t recall the last time something captivated him nearly as much as this enigmatic Drifter did. A strange and conflicting melody followed her every step—tempo inconsistent and pitch erratic—serving as a warning for any who would dare get close to her. As much as he wasn’t one for chaos, something about her kept drawing him closer and closer against his better judgement.
The only question left was how hard could he pull on the threads before they snapped.

Summary
When Arthur was 12 he found a dragon under the castle. From that meeting he learned 3 things.
- He was the once and future king and bring back magic to the land as well as unite Albon
- He was to marry his true love as his queen (a lady from another kingdom he presumed) who would help in his journey
- A great and powerful warlock was also supposed to help him in that journey to the throne, named Emerys (who was also supposed to be his other side of the coin, whatever that meant)
While the first point seemed preposterous, there was a slight snag with those last two. The dragon never told him who those people were. So while expecting a powerful wizard with the strength of three men and lightning bending to their whim, and a beautiful Lady from another kingdom with their marriage bridging the gap between two kingdoms, he falls in love with two servants, nether named Emery's. How was he supposed to fall in love with his true loves if he’s already fallen for people he can’t have and never will have, not in the way he wants them.Aka the mergwenthur fic no one asked for

Summary
The war between Camelot and Balinor’s kingdom has been devastating their lands for Arthur’s whole life. It was his duty to fight for his people and lead them to victory, and there was only one way to do that—to take out Balinor’s most powerful player. His own son, Merlin.
Yet when Arthur finally meets Merlin on the battlefield, he is nothing like what he had expected.
Then when Merlin messes up an attack spell and sends them both into an unknown, lifeless world, Arthur has more time than he would have liked to truly contemplate if killing Merlin is the only way forward and out of this war. What more, they will have to work together to escape. Here, it is just them, their own prejudices, and a strange, magical house that offers to cater to their needs but demands their deepest secrets in return.
Arthur might have to face some uncomfortable truths to get out of there, and perhaps, even open his heart.

Arthur didn’t much like dying. It was rather painful, and unpleasant, and he didn’t have the energy to move his leg to get the uncomfortable crick out of his knee.
The problem was, it kept happening. Again, and again, and again.

Summary
Lorsque Merlin quitte son village natal pour rejoindre la cité de Camelot, il n'est qu'un jeune homme imprudent, naïf et indécis, avide de découvrir qui il est et ce qu'il désire. Derrière cette insouciance se cache aussi un garçon comme aucun autre, qui porte un secret qu'on lui a ordonné de taire toute sa vie : un don de magie, que personne ne comprend et que nombreux redoutent.
Cependant, la nouvelle vie qu'il s'était imaginé à Camelot s'effondre lorsqu'il assiste à l'exécution cruelle d'un garçon de son âge, coupable des mêmes crimes que lui.
Hanté par la haine du Roi de Camelot envers les siens, Merlin comprend qu'il ne pourra survivre qu'en acceptant de vivre dans l'ombre du château. Mais nul ne peut choisir son destin. En sauvant malgré lui l'héritier du trône, le Prince Arthur Pendragon, sa vie se noue au fil d'une prophétie qui requiert de lui qu'il sacrifie tout ce qu'il est.

Summary
***end of series spoiler, but I fix it so it's ok!!
Merlin refuses to accept the loss of Arthur Pendragon. After his death, he still brings him to the lake, but with the hope of resurrecting him. After his success, both he and Arthur are weak. With Morgana's servants still fighting and searching for Arthur, Gwen and Merlin agree that it would be safest for Arthur to disappear for a while. Both Arthur and Merlin aren't as strong as they used to be, but they ride off far away together (despite tensions stemming from Merlin's magic) to pass the time and regain their strength in secret.
Basically, Arthur's dream of running off and living on a farm with Merlin comes true, but he's still mad and confused about everything for a bit. They'll eventually work all of their shit out :)
