Summary
Merlin had failed. Everything anyone had ever told him about his destiny—his and Arthur’s destiny—was wrong. He had been led along for ten years to this. This state of unfinished-ness. It was wrong. All Merlin could delineate in the darkness of his sorrow was this thought. This is wrong—wrong—wrong—wrong. Merlin and Arthur had not done what they did to others and to themselves for this end—a measly few years of Arthur’s reign followed by his death was just wrong. The triple goddess, the fates—they were wrong.

Summary
Gwaine glanced at Merlin, and then across the fire. “In need of a conversation topic, eh?” he asked, a sly smile creeping across his face as he wiped the large knife on a cloth and looked expectantly at his fellow knights. “I have a lively start to conversation in mind. The subject is of an amusing but… crude nature. It goes like this: you have to say who it is you would bed, who you would wed, and who you’d want dead.”
Merlin nearly choked on his stew. Are they really going to do this?

Will loved ordinary things, an uneventful existence was something he craved. Sadly, when Mike Wheeler walks into his life, Will’s easy going path snaps right in half. A passion he could never imagine overtaking his whole being.
It was too bad their friend groups hated each other and his sister had a huge crush on the musician. Off limits.
Fantastic.

Summary
For the prompt: Someone tells Arthur about the legends of Emrys, an all-powerful warlock whose destiny is to protect Arthur and his kingdom and help bring about an age of peace. He is told that Emrys is someone close to him, and has hidden his identity and trials over the years to protect himself and make sure he can continue on at Arthur's side. When Arthur asks who it is, the person turns to Arthur and shrewdly asks: "Arthur, who do you want it to be?" ... Arthur's mind automatically goes to Merlin.

Summary
Merlin is well aware that a price has to be paid to ensure that magic is freed. He's also aware of the spear sticking out of his side and Uther charging towards him. Is now the time to pay that price? AU version of Death Song of Uther Pendragon. Part 1 in my Magic Reigns Free Series. This work is a rewrite of a story I wrote years ago on FFN.
SNEAK PEAK: "He has magic and must die," Uther insisted. "If he lives, he will destroy the kingdom I have worked so hard for."
"No," Merlin weakly squeaked.
Arthur glanced over at Merlin. He had heard what his father had said but paid it no mind. Merlin needed to be rescued right now. He could not waste time arguing with the ghost of his father. If he did, Merlin would surely die.
"You had your turn. It's my kingdom now," Arthur stated as he put the horn to his lips and blew.
As soon as his father was gone, Arthur rushed to his manservant's side and got him down as quickly as possible. He laid his body on the floor and yelled for anyone who could possibly hear him as he put pressure on Merlin's wound. Merlin howled in pain before losing consciousness altogether.

Summary
The body of a Prince was not like anyone’s. His hand only ever held others in a firm handshake, and rarely without gloves. Sometimes he would raise the delicate hands of noble ladies to his lips for a brief kiss, but it was all out of propriety. He rarely touched others, but what was even rarer was others touching him. The only ones who dared were his knights, and even they only smacked his shoulder or patted his back in friendly roughhousing. Gripping each other’s arms before battle was the most heartfelt touch they exchanged. Lingering soft touches were not done. Any lingering touch on his person could be interpreted as political movements. After all, Arthur’s body wasn’t his own. It never had been. He was Camelot’s first and foremost. Even above his own needs and wants.

Summary
Set after the Merlin Series 5 Finale "Diamond of the Day".
Canon Compliant. In Character. Arthur Pendragon Returns.
Cover art by Lao-Pendragon------
For many long years Merlin waited.
For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.
Until one day, suddenly, it did.
When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.
Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, & True Love.

Summary
“So, uh. Arthur is doing better-? Not like, healed better. But… The curse has stopped attacking him?” Merlin really tried to put as much nonchalance into his voice as possible, but Gaius knew him too well. More often than not, when Merlin did something to create problems for himself, he would leave out large parts of what had actually happened. Gaius raised his eyebrow to show Merlin he knew as much.
Finally giving up the act, he slumped down in his seat. “I kind of trapped Arthur’s soul in here with me,” he said weakly gesturing toward his head in defeat.
Gaius looked back at him with a special kind of fear. The one that came from having to hide something that could most definitely get you killed.
Pure exhaustion made his breath feel heavy as it left his lips. “He knows,” Merlin sighed, not even looking at Gaius as he confirmed his silent fear.
The cruel tone lacing Arthur’s voice only made him sink deeper. “Of course Gaius knew. After all, you’d need someone to strategize just how you could betray me best.” Merlin tried his best not to let Arthur’s hatred twist the knife buried in his heart any further.

Summary
He reaches forward, careful but determined. Darkness gives him no guidance, but his King does instead. Arthur’s hands close gently over his. “Here,” he murmurs, guiding him. He leads Merlin’s fingers up, toward his shoulder. “The clasp.”
His fingertips brush leather, then metal, then the warm skin at Arthur’s throat. He feels the steady, living pulse beneath his touch.
His fingers slip once, then again. Merlin exhales a quiet, frustrated laugh. “I’ve done this a thousand times.”
“A million,” Arthur corrects, fond.
“And yet,” Merlin mutters, trying again.
In which Merlin is injured in a battle and loses his sight.

Summary
Arthur asks Merlin to learn magic to see if it can be trusted in defeating Morgana.
"We want to ask someone to learn magic to see if it can be used without corrupting the soul of the person who uses it. Lancelot suggested you be the person we ask."
Merlin's lips parted a fraction, "He did?"
"Indeed. Something about your heart being pure." Arthur brushed the compliment off with a wave of his hand and straightened in his seat, "I know you're scared of magic so you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to but-"
"I'll do it."Now complete with added prologue and epilogue!

Summary
A Modern day Merlin AU set at the University of St Andrews, featuring teetotal kickboxers, secret wizards, magnificent bodyguards of various genders, irate fairies, imprisoned dragons, crumbling gothic architecture, arrogant princes, adorable engineering students, stolen gold, magical doorways, attempted assassination, drunken students, shaving foam fights, embarrassing mornings after, The Hammer Dance, duty, responsibility, friendship and true love...
This story was inspired by the thought of Prince William of Wales (and indeed the current Max von Hapsburg) studying at the University of St Andrews; it is also, as the title suggests, at least a little inspired by the operetta 'The Student Prince'.
Grateful thanks to Lamardeuse and DarkEmeralds for Beta and cheerleading!
::2019 note: This story was written BEFORE the TV show introduced the character of Gwaine. It's not that I can't spell, or that I'm perversely writing him out of character - I incorporated other characters from Arthurian legend (Kay, Gawain etc) into my story, and lacking prophetic abilities, my versions naturally don't mesh with the versions subsequently introduced into the show.::

He begins his journey with a group of men, and Arthur's irritating servant, Merlin.

Summary
Arthur gave Merlin his cloak thinking only of the warmth it would offer in a snowstorm. He never thought his manservant may be mistaken for him and snatched by bandits. Nor did he expect his dashing rescue of Merlin to turn his world so utterly on his head.
Because the bandits hadn't kidnapped a prince. They'd snatched a sorcerer, and now captivity is the least of anyone's problems.
A golden age awaits, but can they claim it together, or are they doomed to fail?
