Mordred had gotten what he had wanted.
He had spread his hatred, his death and his destruction, killing and tearing down those that were in his way to the throne. He had slain countless of innocents including Ygraine, a loss that lay heavy inside of Arthur’s chest. He was barely holding on since his return to the world of the living he was sure that soon he was going to break. However, he was not going to let anyone see, he had to be strong, he had to be stoic and he had to be brave. He was Arthur Pendragon, the supposed King of a broken kingdom and supposed king of a dying race. The weight was on his shoulders and he did not have time to stop and think. If he did that, he probably will never return to his feet again. At least not whole.
.There was a great fight ahead of them that they were going to have to be ready for.
No matter what.Series

Summary
“You’re saying, where you’re from… Arthur is your manservant?”
He couldn't hide the amusement in his voice even if he wanted to, he recalls the coincidental conversation he and Arthur had earlier, he can already imagine Arthur mucking out the stables, the thought of it alone fills Merlin’s heart with gleeful delight.
His counterpart scoffs looking at his own Arthur with a bemused smile, “believe me, I can’t imagine him being a prince let alone the Prince of Camelot”
Servant Arthur just looks overwhelmed, glancing between the two Merlins with a constipated face.
Or:
Merlin and Arthur were coming back from a solo mission when they encountered a very odd and unlikely pair in the woods
Or:
The swap au no one asked for but i'm writing it anyway cause its funny

Summary
Arthur Pendragon isn't the princess raised by Uther Pendragon, but maidservant to the most powerful sorceress in the world.
Merlin isn't a maidservant to a prat princess raised to despise magic, but a princess with a maidservant who despises her own existence second only to her hatred of the man that forced it.
Camelot spent only five years with magic banned under penalty of death. Balinor leading a force of both sorcerers and non-sorcerers managed to dethrone Uther Pendragon two years after his daughter's birth. Now he leads Camelot as Regent Lord alongside his wife, Hunith proclaimed Queen of Camelot.
But twenty years have passed since the first prophecies of The Once and Future King have been revealed. And the Prophecy is now publicly known.
Now Merlin must do everything in her power (alongside her closest friends, Morgana, Morgause, Gwen, Lancelot, Gwaine, and Aithusa her dragon) to get her not so secret lover, Arthur Pendragon ready to be King.
Arthur Pendragon is in complete denial of her own destiny, unintentionally (or intentionally) becoming the greatest threat to its fulfilment.

Summary
“So,” Kay said, “royal life seems to be treating you well.”
Arthur laughed. “Yeah, well, it’s the best money can buy so can’t complain.”
Kay snorted. “You can’t?”
Arthur’s smile felt ridged. He forced a laugh, coughing into his fist, the uncomfortable feeling just at the edge of his mind. “Of course not. This is all - all I could have asked for.”

“How do I know I can trust you,” Arthur narrowed his eyes.
“I guess you don’t,” the man grinned, his tone of voice verging on irritating. “You will just have to trust me.”
“That sounds like a mistake.”
“More than this?” the man gestured to the stocks. Arthur could feel something slimy sliding down his forehead threatening to drip into his eye. The man removing this delicately, the tips of his fingers caressing Arthur’s skin in the process. The pair staring at each other for an intense second. Arthur’s heart squeezing in his chest though he didn’t know why. There was something about this man, something that was familiar but so new at the same time. It had been a long day, that was all.
“Fair enough,” Arthur sighed moving his head to the side to allow the man’s hand to fall away that had been lingering. “I err…Might have punched Prince Mordred.”Series

Summary
“Merlin?” The boy snorted. “Sure, and I’m Air Arthur Pendragon of Camelot! And one day, I’ll be the King of Camelot.”
Merlin scowled, wrinkling his nose. “Knights and Lords don’t become Kings. That’s not how that works.”
“And how would you know, peasant from a distant land called, Essetir?” Arthur grinned.
Merlin spluttered. “Wha- but- but that’s just not how it works!”
The blond servant shook his head in mock seriousness as he smothered his giggles. “When I become King of Camelot one day, I’ll show you just how wrong you are, Merlin!”

Summary
The dragon leaned forward. "Your destiny is to protect Uther Pendragon's heir, the one who will be the Once and Future King and unite all of Albion."
Merlin blinked. "But . . . Uther doesn't have an heir."
. . .
In many Arthurian texts, Arthur is raised as a peasant by Sir Ector with no knowledge of his royal lineage. Let's bring that back, shall we?

Summary
It wasn’t fair. Arthur was only supposed to be in Camelot for one week. A single week, while he solicited more grain for his starving village. That was it.
Instead, he managed to somehow save the life of a prattish prince and was now bound by the king to serve him.
And what was with the dragon in the dungeon, calling him the “Once and Future King?”
Life, most definitely, wasn’t fair.

Summary
Sure, Arthur just made magic legal, but that didn´t mean he wanted the bloody dragons to return!
(...)“Sire. May I say something?”
Bloody hell, Merlin, just spill it.“The dragon´s were supposed to be extinct by this point.”
Arthur groaned. He knew that of course.
“Just like the dragon lords. Maybe – maybe they also returned?”info: Dragon lords are like kings and royals. Dragon knights are chosen by dragons. SO there are dragons and people who can control them - but Merlin´s word is still more powerful then them.
Alternatively: What would have happened, if Arthur didn´t listen to Merlin with the Dissir and just made magic legal.
