Summary
He felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand-up. He wasn't alone. Before he could fully process this information, he was halfway across the room with his dagger at the throat of his manservant, who was snoring peacefully on Arthur's windowsill with a broom clutched in his elbow.
He breathed in sharply, adrenaline ramping up a notch as he realized how close he had been to cutting Merlin's throat.
Dropping the blade to his side, Arthur studied him. Merlin's long form collapsed in on itself to fit on the small shelf, his inky black hair curling against the morning dew that was gathering on the window panes. His thick eyelashes were fluttering lightly over his pale cheeks and one of his hands was twitching, but he slept soundly.
OR: The Merthur fic you didn't know you needed.

Summary
“Merlin, I'm the greatest swordsman in the five kingdoms.” Arthur boasted. “I’ve fought more battles than I can count.”
”I’m aware, sire.”
”And I’ve always survived.”
”Not always.” Merlin muttered.
---
The day Arthur dies is the day Merlin refuses to let end. Again. And again. And again. Merlin’s stuck in a spiral—a dizzying, cruel dance of death and reset. With each attempt, his heart grows heavier, his magic darker, until all he can do is break.
And when the shards of his despair drag Arthur into the storm, the past and present shatter, leaving nothing but raw truth and fragile hope.
Now there's no more running. Just the two of them, the end of the world, and everything left unsaid.

Summary
It started subtly.
Merlin hummed while sweeping.
This alone would have raised eyebrows. Merlin didn’t hum. He sighed. He groaned. He made sarcastic comments under his breath and grumbled about “chamber pot distribution logistics.” But now he was humming.
Now he was smiling.

Summary
A hidden cave, tucked away from the world, holds memories of Arthur and Merlin's most vulnerable moments — from stolen kisses and heated arguments to quiet nights of comfort and longing.
Years pass, kingdoms rise and fall, and the world changes beyond recognition, but the cave remains the same — a timeless keeper of their love, pain, and all the unspoken words left behind.
It's a story of love that never quite fit into the world around them, of two souls finding solace in a place where time seemed to stand still. Even as centuries go by, the cave remembers it all.Merlin belongs to BBC, I do not own it. I write just for fun.
Actually the story is quite short, still I hope tag slow burn will suit here.

Summary
“Merlin. Even if you’re … even if you’re right, it doesn’t matter. It’s too late. He’s going to kill me. And I—listen to me, you idiot. I don’t want you to watch. And I don’t want you to be next.”
or
After confronting Morgause's vision of his mother, Arthur rides for Camelot, intending to make his father pay for his hypocrisy. He falls short of luck, for the King has fallen back on the counsel of his faithful Witchfinder, Aredian, who is convinced that Arthur is not Arthur, the crown prince, but a changeling, bound to Morgause's will and let loose upon Camelot to usurp Uther of his crown.
As Arthur is dragged away to the dungeons, sentenced to a death by fire, Merlin must race against time to change the course of events which seem to spell out Arthur's demise. Time is scarce, however, and for all intents and purposes, it might be too late already.

Summary
Voldemort is not the true danger. Not really.
The real threat is what’s already happened: the ancient empires of magic have fallen, their wisdom forgotten, their wonder reduced to textbooks and bureaucracy. The world has grown smaller. Colder. And magic—real magic—is dying.
But not all legacies fade.
Raised in the past by the Founders of Hogwarts, trained by Emrys himself, Harry returns to the present not just to end a war, but to reclaim a throne long thought lost. He is the heir to Avalon. The once and future king of an empire that the world no longer remembers.
And the Balance is done waiting.
(A canon-divergent, OP!Harry Merlin crossover with mythic rebirth, ancient magic, and one terrified teenager trying to resurrect wonder in a world that no longer believes.)

Summary
After six days of being locked up, he could feel it bubbling trying to find an escape but there was nowhere to go. No outlet. It felt like he was being held under. Not able to take a breath. Like his legs were trapped in seaweed and his body was itchy with salt water.
And it wasn’t even the worst part.

Summary
It was two hundred years after Arthur's death, and Merlin was desperate, so he plunged into the lake of Avalon.
Of course he is not dead, and he returns to Ealdor's cabin, where Arthur is waiting for his confession. Truth and reality, past and future, threads of fate vibrate as their stories rewrite the pages.
There is one thing in the world more obscure than the deepest shadow, more glaring than the brightest sun - we call it destiny. -

Summary
Merlin saved Camelot with his magic—but the display was terrifying enough to turn even his closest friends away. Now, the people who once cared for him look at him with nothing but fear. He’s been replaced in Arthur’s and the queen’s chambers, scorned in the streets, and pushed out from every last one of his roles.
He drifts through the castle like a ghost, watching Arthur slowly restore magic to the kingdom—without him.
He tells himself it’s enough. That it has to be enough.
Then a visiting kingdom arrives—openly magical, warm, and welcoming. For the first time in what feels like an eternity, Merlin is seen, valued, liked.
He stayed for the promise of Albion. But maybe Albion has come—and Merlin simply isn’t part of it.
