Summary
Canon-era AU. With the threat from Morgana and her forces growing by the day, coupled with the legalisation of magic in Camelot still in its infancy, Arthur feels that his kingdom is floundering. He agrees to a political marriage with Merlin, the young leader of the Druids, in order to secure Camelot's future and to ally himself with the one person who might be able to defeat Morgana. A marriage of convenience soon starts to become something more, and Arthur finds himself learning things about himself and his kingdom he would never have imagined, while forging a genuine connection with someone who seems to truly understand him.

Summary
“Arthur, we need to talk, my… magic-“
“Merlin,” Arthur interrupts, because he cannot have that conversation – or any conversation – now. “We will talk about it, I promise.” Because they will. There’s so much he needs to say, and ask, and possibly yell for. “But I say shagging first, talking later, yeah?”
Or
Arthur lets it slip that he knows about Merlin’s magic when they’re about to have sex for the first time. Oh, and he also lets it slip he might be a tiny bit in love with him. And that he maybe, possibly, also wants to marry him one day. Oops.

Summary
“No,” he pleads. "Father, please. Merlin is not to blame for anything. I’ll accept any punishment you want to give me, but please..." he can't lose Merlin again. He can not.
Uther seems to sense his anguish, because a bit of bewilderment creeps into his harsh expression.
“What is it about this boy?” There's a dangerous suspicion in the king's voice. “He makes my son risk his life and the lives of his knights for him. And the Great Dragon, for some reason, keeps him alive and uses him as a hostage. Why?" he walks towards the prince almost threateningly. “What else are you hiding from me, Arthur?” he demands, his eyes growing colder.
OR
After Arthur rescues Merlin from The Great Dragon he has some explaining to do. To the king, and maybe to himself too. Sequel to "Saving the Dragonlord's son".

Summary
Arthur Pendragon has spent his whole life untouched—by kindness, by desire, or anything resembling real intimacy. It never mattered. Not until a certain annoying manservant came to Camelot—Merlin—who disregarded all strict royal etiquette and showed no restraint when it came to sudden, reckless displays of affection. Now, there’s something impossible in the space between them, something Arthur doesn’t know how to name—only that he aches to close the distance.

Guys, there was only one bed.
Guys, some obscure quest in the cold far-up mountains made them "huddle for warmth".
Guys, they might give in to this farm fantasy of theirs.
Can't I just put all the tropes in there?

Summary
Arthur got this. He would resist any taunting from Uther, Merlin was sure of that. Everything was going to be alright. Arthur would make the hard but right choice and when it was over and all the guilt and loss came crashing down on him, Merlin would be there, by his side, as long as Arthur would have him.
And then, in the very next second, the ground disappeared from under his feet.
“Merlin has magic!”
***
Canon divergent: What would have happened if Arthur hadn't blown the horn in time and Uther managed to reveal Merlin's powers?

Summary
“For what it’s worth, I truly believe there’s someone out there who’s right for you. I believe there’s someone for everyone.”
This time, Arthur let the tears spill over. “You mean that?”
“I do.” And God, Arthur believed him.
He found himself wishing, once again, that he were like everyone else.
And as surprising as it was, he found himself wishing that Merlin was his person.
But Arthur wasn’t like everyone else. And Merlin wasn’t his person.

Summary
25 stories featuring Merlin, Arthur, the Knights, Gwen and a range of others navigating circumstances they never had to in canon. Buckle up because this series is filled with misunderstandings (the funny kind), betrayals (the dramatic type) and happy endings (save for one).
Also despite being released daily, there's no continuation and no obligation to read all of them but readers may find a few cactuscandle eggs (see what I did there?) here and there!

Summary
What Arthur knows: Merlin, his clumsy and foolish servant, is actually quite smart. He’s also loyal, and brave, and in many ways the reason Arthur has so many good people in his life.
The goal: Make Merlin realize how important he is to Arthur, no matter how stubborn he's clearly chosing to be about it.
What Arthur does not know, yet: Merlin has magic. Also they're very slightly a little bit in love.
It's going to take them a while to figure it all out. Meanwhile the knights have known for ages, Gwen figures it out pretty quick, and pretty much all of Camelot has also known ever since that weird peasant stumbled through the gates and challenged the Prince all those years ago.

At twenty-seven years old, Arthur is living in a new area, trying to make friends and trying to sort his life out. After confiding in Merlin that he has no sexual experience, Merlin offers him a 'friends with benefits' situation, which Arthur readily accepts.
Of course, nothing is ever so simple, and soon all bets are on as to when they will realise exactly what it is they have and whether they will choose to keep it.

Summary
All Merlin was expecting was a night off, maybe he'd have a glass of wine or read a book later, but for now he was content to sit by fire with his mending. He wasn't expecting a surly Arthur to come back to his rooms hours before he was due, his foul mood caused by some stupid Lord or other laughing at the surprising fact that (or at least Merlin thought so) the Prince was still a virgin. Even more surprising was that Arthur took Merlin's advice on the matter, arranging a tryst with a recently widowed Lady so-and-so, only for him to realize too late what a stupid idea that was.
Since he can't cancel now, Arthur demands Merlin teach him everything he knows about sex, which definitely isn't another stupid idea and definitely won't lead to at least one (or both) falling in love.
