Summary
Merlin really shouldn’t be surprised anymore.
Whenever his life starts looking like it might be taking a turn for the better, fate finds a way to send him spiralling in another direction with nothing to hold onto. It’s happened more times than Merlin can count, from having to leave Ealdor the first time to freeing Kilgharrah from Camelot’s underground cell. Magic and fate, it seems, are just unable to leave him alone.
So yeah, nothing should really surprise him anymore.
Although he doesn’t see a way anyone could have expected this.

Summary
“You-” Ygraine said, stepping up to point a finger in Uther’s face. “You are a liar and a murderer. The fact you think someone as sweet and caring as Vivienne is destined to marry you is a tragedy in itself, but if you expect me to hand over my brother’s rightful claim to Camelot’s throne-”
“My claim to Camelot’s throne,” Uther threw back, face growing more red as Arthur looked between his parents in utter bewilderment. Merlin didn’t blame him. He had envisioned Uther and Ygraine’s love story to be more… well, less based in war and battles.
Ygraine’s eyes narrowed as she grabbed a goblet of wine and threw it in Uther’s face. A few of the guards shifted, but Uther only raised a hand to pause them, spitting out the wine with furious eyes.
“You,” Ygraine said coldly. “Are unworthy to sit upon a stool, let alone a throne.”
From a few feet away, Balinor scoffed as he sipped from his own goblet. “I kind of like having her as a hostage, Uther. She livens up the place.”

In a desperate attempt to save Arthur at Camlann, Merlin tries to reverse time. It works perhaps a tad too well.

Summary
After years of increasingly dangerous magical attacks, Arthur finally decides that he should know his enemy, and cracks open a bestiary to study monsters. To his shock, the book talks about people who were *born* with magic, and suddenly everything makes a lot more sense, because one of the entries reads as though it was written with Merlin specifically in mind!
Alternatively: Arthur picks up the medieval equivalent of a D&D manual, and puts two and two together, but still somehow arrives at three

Summary
Having a superhero boyfriend seemed like an amazing dream to everyone else, but to Arthur, it was not. It had privileges, of course, for instance his boyfriend could fly. They were never late to anywhere. Because the town knew him, many people were worshipping him. That’s why Arthur was loved in the town too. He was Merlin’s pretty boyfriend to everyone.
That was also a curse, though.
Merlin was an amazing superhero, so that meant villains hated him. They always wanted to take a revenge on Merlin, tried to piss him off. It was not easy to anger Merlin, but unfortunately, they realized that Arthur was a great target to get Merlin's attention. Arthur desperately wanted to curse the first villain that thought of this, because now he was getting kidnapped every week.
A fic where Merlin is a superhero and Arthur is his pretty boyfriend.

Summary
Uther, King of Camelot and father to Arthur Pendragon, was in mortal peril.
This, in itself, was not news; Uther, by dint of a recalcitrant, bloodthirsty personality backed by military power and an unshakable belief in the Divine Right of Kings, had made a great deal of enemies in his day, and, in truth, made new ones almost daily.
But this time was different, in that it was entirely Arthur’s fault.

Summary
By some magical accident, an older Merlin steps into Camelot, 10 years ago. Only now, he's buff and good with a sword, looks good in armour, is a fucking assassin, and claims to be Arthur's husband.
Or
"The crest on it means you're a member of the royal family." said Leon, red-faced and about to burst a vein or two, making them all jump.
"Something like that." Merlin grinned.
"What?" Arthur choked out.
"Oh we're married. Did I forget to mention?" Merlin asked with an innocent tilt of his head
Or
"Relax, darling. I've been begging His Royal Prat-ness for a vacation for ages. I'm starting to think you actually want to see me on my hands and knees."
Arthur dropped his sword with a clang, felt the need to lie down for a while. Merlin laughed and took a hold of his bicep. "Come." He said. "I'm dying to see everyone."
And Arthur let himself be man-handled and dragged along like a boy toy. Because this was his life now.
