Summary
"I'm not lying!" Arthur yelled and while his knights all nodded, he could see the slight roll of their eyes. "She's real. I swear on my life she is!" He tried again. Gwaine outright laughed. Arthur really should just behead him. That would solve everything.
"What's her name then?" Leon asked reasonably. Arthur stared. "My lord, is it...At all possible she might have just been in your head?" He asked, gently. Arthur felt his mouth drop.
"I am not crazy!"
"Well..." Merlin began and the prince turned to glare at him. "I've watched you try to put on a shirt, sire."
"He said crazy. Not incapable." Elyan murmured and immediately winced when Arthur gaped at him. "Sorry, I...Sorry." He offered weakly. "You're not crazy."
"Just incapable!" Merlin smiled. Arthur hated everyone and swore on his life he would find this damn lake lady even if it was the last thing he ever did.
Or
Arthur comes across a beautiful woman near a lake who likes to talk about her husband a lot. Nobody believes him except Merlin (aka Freya lives).

Summary
And there Merlin stands, shoulders back, chest out, chin tilted upward toward the sky, like a nobleman, like a king. With every creature, everything object, everything around him, his subject. Waiting, listening intently for his next proclamation. And Arthur finds himself one of them. One of the enraptured.
Because it’s not just beauty and it’s not just magic. It’s something deeper. Something from the very essence of Merlin’s being finally coming back to the surface. It’s grace and kindness. It’s virtue and divine right.
Merlin doesn’t even try to fight the smile on his face and it’s Arthur’s undoing. He lets himself fall deeper in love than he thought possible into that dangerous sort of love that inspires wars and centuries of peace.

carved my name wrong on that gravestone (you don't even know my date of birth) by deniigiq

Summary
“Arthur, listen to me,” Merlin says suddenly in a tone so gentle that Arthur forgets what he was about to say right then and there.
“I’m—I’m listening,” he says.
Merlin lifts his head from his nest of arms and passes a thumb over the scab forming in the very center of his lower lip.
“I fucking hate you,” he says.
(Arthur accidentally reveals Merlin's magic to the world, then accidentally bonds them together before he's king, thereby throwing their prophecy way off course. He tries to make it up to Merlin by making a place for him in Camelot, but that proves to be far more complicated than he can manage on his own. Meanwhile, Merlin finds a smartphone in a wishing well and tries to electrocute a paramedic.)

Summary
Umbridge is a very common conversational topic with Pureblooded families. Not because she's particularly interesting or powerful, but because she's a right pain the ass.
When she becomes a teacher, it's about half a semester until the Slytherins are fed up with it.
Aka: The Slytherins do what Slytherins do best and have a teenage rebellion while they're at it

Summary
A Modern Merlin Band AU.
Merlin is a sexually frustrated astrophysicist with a few hang-ups related to a certain failed rock band in uni. Arthur is the spiteful, rebelling heir to a dynasty of classical musicians who wants nothing but to escape his father’s shadow. Gwaine is a stripper who’s maybe a bit (a lot) more passionate than most regarding the music he dances to. Gwen is the manager of her dad’s metronome factory, who secretly envies her brother for making it as a musical theater actor. Elena is an unorthodox, spitfire producer with something to prove, something her dad’s record label continues to sleep on.
And this is the story of what would happen if these unlikely five were to start a band.

Summary
Arthur survives the battle of Camlann but discovers that Merlin is a sorcerer when Merlin kills Morgana to save Arthur’s life. Feeling angry and betrayed, Arthur banishes Merlin.
Five years later, in a war-torn Camelot, Arthur is finally ready to talk to Merlin, and they realize that they can only fulfill the prophecy together, side by side.
The next morning, they wake up in the past, in their young bodies.
~
“Someone or something has sent us back in time, right to the beginning, with all our memories,” Merlin says, and it’s only now that it dawns on him what that truly means. “Just imagine everything we could do, everything we could change for the better. We could make everything right this time.”
Arthur hesitates for a moment. “Can we even change the future?”
“Yes, I think we can”, Merlin answers with confidence and new-found hope in his voice.

Never Knew What We Had (Until He Was Gone) by Merlinfirstlastalways

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.*
