Summary
It was easy enough to forget how Merlin's eyes had glowed when he'd made wet wood burst into flame. It was small moment, after all. It wasn’t as if Arthur had noticed anything else.
Arthur, very quickly, began to notice a lot more.
(Arthur realizes a lot of coincidences happen around Merlin. More specifically, magical ones. He bends over backwards to justify them, and he finds himself falling into accepting magic, as well as maybe accepting that he's in love. Not that he'll ever admit it.)

Summary
“Oh, we’re all impetuous, in our own ways,” Edward says now, and Arthur snorts.
“Quite. Benjamin’s knee deep in gambling debts, Anne’s had her little indiscretion with Rafferty, I’ve fucked my way through London’s eligible bachelors, and you’ve… well, you’ve changed the logo on our beer bottles."

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
“Has the castle changed so very much while I’ve been gone?” Merlin asks, addressing the men on duty. “I was led to believe these were the king’s chambers and yet I seem to find them occupied by a bear instead of a man.”
“Out,” Arthur rumbles, steely command in the low pitch of his voice.
“Don’t worry,” Merlin calls to the retreating guards. “I’ll handle this creature in here. If you happen to see the king, please inform him I’ve returned!”
. .
Or: Merlin leaves Camelot for a year, Arthur’s thicc, and their reunion is full of poorly timed history lessons

This fic features hod merlin and gwen/ Arthur being sexually repressed and making friends with some wild druids.
Also it's romantic as hell and it feels like it's it's own story while still being true to the source material in a way that makes sense ♡

Summary
“Was everything else a lie, too?” he asked darkly, hating the desperation in his tone, thinking of the friendship he valued so much, of Merlin laughing at his jokes, of fighting side by side and how it had given him strength again and again, knowing that Merlin would always be there, would always choose to stand with him, no matter what. Of Merlin’s soft sob of pleasure, gasped into his mouth as his fingers clawed the small of his back.

Never Knew What We Had (Until He Was Gone) by Merlinfirstlastalways
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
29 Jun 2024
Tags
Summary
Arthur was at his wits' end when he caught Merlin walking out of the tavern, which led him to make a horrible mistake, one that proved to be the last straw for Merlin, who decided there was nothing else to do but publically quit his job and leave Camelot in a huff.
Arthur never realized how much Merlin did for him-- or for Guinevere-- until he was gone; neither he nor his wife realized just how integral Merlin was to Camelot... and to their marriage.
*Story is complete apart from final editing and will be posted in full over the next few days. Currently clocking in at about 20k. Explicit in the fifth chapter.*
