Summary
When Arthur is called for judgement by a mysterious magical entity he must decide once and for all who he is. An extension of his father? Or a man brave enough to forge his own legacy.
When Mordred is forced to confront a part of his past he thought he'd left behind, he must decide where his loyalties truly lie.
Aka, I've always hated "The Disir" and "The Drawing of the Dark", so here's my kind-of fix-it.

Summary
When a sparring accident nearly kills Arthur, Merlin reacts without thinking - and exposes his magic before the entire training yard. But the fallout is interrupted by a sorcerer’s attack that rips Merlin’s soul from his body, leaving behind only Emrys: magic incarnate, stripped of warmth and memory. As Camelot reels, Arthur must face not just the politics of magic and the prophecy surrounding him, but his own feelings for the servant who has always stood by his side. Magic has always come at a cost - but Arthur never imagined the price would be Merlin himself.

Summary
Morgana thinks she’s captured Merlin, when really, he’s allowed himself to be captured so maybe Arthur would be smart enough to just stay away this time.
He was wrong. As is usually the case with Arthur.

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.

Summary
To save the Prince, Merlin's magic is revealed and King Uther sentences him to death, to be burned on the stake. However Prince Arthur has a different plan, where he decides to run away with Merlin, forsaking his rights to the throne and to serve a self-voluntary exile beside Merlin.
This journey covers riches to rags, roads of difficulties and staying incognito from both foes and allies yet under the worst circumstances the duo finds themselves nurturing a bond stronger than friends whilst learning to embrace their flaws to adapt and overcome hurdles together.
Slight Inspiration: From the scene where Arthur tells Gwen (his literal queen) that if he wasn't the King, he would become a farmer and bring Merlin with him.

Summary
There is more than meets the eye in the city of Velaris. Magic lays hidden in plain sight, recognized only by wielders, the rest of the citizens ignorant to the supernatural goings on in the city.
Elain is a confident magic wielder, using her powers of Sight and earthwork to make a living as a fortune teller, living a simple, peaceful life despite the recent heartbreak she has endured. Azriel is an aloof financial manager at a business firm, adamantly opposed to anything that cannot be unequivocally proven by the scientific method and rational thought.
But when he meets Elain, Azriel's commitment to rationality begins to fray as she slowly awakens something that has been crawling beneath his skin since childhood. Something he has spent years denying, refusing to remember, refusing to explore. And when Elain meets Azriel, her Sight begins to show her flashes of her past life, a past life where something terrible and tragic happened, and she fears history will repeat itself. Their immediate and persistent attraction and draw to each other creates turbulence in both of their lives when their heads and their hearts cannot align, and their togetherness forces them both to confront pasts they would rather forget.

Arthur knows that everything is going perfectly well in his kingdom, there are no crazy sorcerers wanting to kill him, his sister Morgana strangely... the one who wants to kill him and usurp his throne, has she redeemed herself?

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
The Gods play games with us mere mortals. This is a fact. They see our scheming and planning and laugh at us.
Sometimes they punish us. They smite those who anger them. They kill crops, send plagues or floods. This is also known.
But less known is sometimes. If we are lucky. They may on a whim decide that a mere moral deserves to have their deepest secret desires fulfilled. Merlin didn't expect to be noticed by a god and yet here is one crouched before him.
Or:
A Merlin/Arthur story about breaking up, falling back in love, and along the way being gifted something precious by a god.
