Summary
After foolishly seeking shelter in a magical cave, the original Round Table find themselves under a curse tailored to teach each of them a personal lesson. The question is what Merlin is supposed to learn from being turned into a girl, and whether it might not be more of a blessing than a curse, seeing as Gwaine seems rather taken with her new appearance…

Summary
He wanted to take his hand and lead him through the fields back to Camelot, pull him through markets where sorcerers now plied their trades freely, to show him how Arthur had expressed his love.
He wanted to dig down with his bare hands, dirt caking his hands and under his fingernails, to cradle Merlin’s skull in his hands, to have some part of him back. He would even take the smallest toe bone if it was the only thing left, close his hand around that tiny fragment, just to have something to hold.
-Or, it isn't a battlefield, or a desperate, daring, do-or-die scenario. Merlin's magic is revealed, and Uther kills him for it.

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

Wake Me Up When You’re Reincarnated (when I'm wiser and I'm older) by unrealisticdreamer101
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
07 Nov 2025

Summary
Arthur died. Merlin didn’t. (
Unfortunately).Fifteen centuries later, Merlin’s still alive—older, grumpier, and done with humanity. Then Arthur returns, reborn as a rich, distractible golden retriever of a man. His enemies? Reincarnated too. Arthur’s memory? Gone.
Kings are out, influencers are in. So Merlin becomes a kid (long story), grows up with Arthur (longer story), and ends up his manager (don’t ask).
Reincarnation, reluctant friendship (maybe romance, very salacious), and one exhausted wizard trying to stop destiny from falling apart—again.
Includes some of Merlin's life before Arthur's return because history and travelling to other countries in history is really fun to write.
I update when I update :)
SPOILER:The romance only starts after Arthur's memories return.

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
Merlin has never learnt to control his magic. It is completely guided by his emotions and that usually doesn't turn out well.
Arthur was chased out of Camelot as a young prince. His own sister killed their father and now he is just waiting for the right moment to reclaim his kingdom.
When Merlin and Arthur meet, a hope seems to take root in the world that all will be well.
Magical figures, dark magic, lies and betrayal make their experiences together anything but easy. But deep friendships, trust, loyalty and love bring them ever closer to their goal.
Will Merlin find the control he needs and can Arthur forget his past to open his heart? -

Summary
Destiny plays a cruel game with us. It lets us hope, lets us believe we are in control, just for things to end the way we knew they would anyways. But sometimes, to it’s very favorites, destiny will be kind. One of those favorites is Merlin. And what if this time it will actually end differently? What if this time he would find a way to show Morgana that violence was not the only option? What if this time, he could help Mordred not loose his loyalty. What if this time he could be honest with this man earlier on? Share his secret with him and show what magic can also be. Show him the beauty and peace it can bring. And what if this time he could build the courage to tell Arthur how he truly felt, before it will be too late again? If he could do all those things, could the ending truly be changed? Could he watch Arthur be the king he was destined to be instead of watching the love of his life die in his arms without him ever truly knowing what he meant for the young warlock? Merlin wasn’t sure. Anything he had ever done to try and change the cause of events had led to the exact situations he tried to avoid. But if destiny gives you a chance like this, you use it. Even if it may just mean reliving your losses once again…

Summary
"It had started with a stranger who requested to speak to him privately. — The loyalty and love that he held for an old friend is what propelled him forward."
Merlin takes in two children. The Round Table knights kind of lose their minds. Gwen nearly burns the place down several times out of cuteness overload. Gaius can't believe this is happening. Hunith finally arrives to Camelot. And Arthur? Well, he manages the whole situation flawlessly, of course.
Featuring: A shoddy attempt to be partially accurate of the time period, in some of the least-important aspects possible; Arthur being entirely honest to himself about his feelings... eventually; Merlin finding the strength he needs to go after peace; emotional outbursts, mishaps, and conversations; a dog, at some point; magic being welcomed back into Camelot; and, perhaps most importantly, a whole bunch of love.

Summary
In an Albion where the oceans are higher, where Camelot is a port city and pirates plague the seas, Prince Arthur Pendragon struggles under the weight of his duty and his doubts. For almost twenty years he's honed himself to become the sword his father wants him to be, but he's begun to wonder if a ruler relying too much on the sword is more dangerous to his people than any foe.
Meanwhile Lady Morgana can no longer avoid the shadows that plague her in her waking hours as well as her dreams, and resolves to save herself from exhaustion and madness. But searching for forbidden knowledge in Camelot can be deadly, even for the king's ward.
And Merlin, the prince's manservant, holds more secrets than either of them. Between trying to free the dragon under the castle, protecting Arthur from magical threats that Camelot is no longer capable of grappling with, and keeping his head attached to his shoulders, he can barely keep up with his life as it is. Throwing in prophecies is just excessive.
This is a story carried by many hands, because in a land of myth and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom can't be shouldered by any one person alone.
