How Merlin became Camelot's Spymaster, despite being one for years, among other shenanigans.Or
"From now on when you encounter strawberries," Merlin told him, "Give them to me. They're my favourite."
This managed to pull a sweet smile from Gwaine, who melted back into Merlin's waiting arms and kissed his temple in a hurry, before shoving a handful of strawberries into his lap and making a run for it.
Elyan wrestled a guard for his spear and hefted it over his shoulder.
"For Camelot" He screamed, then ran after the rascal.

Summary
In the wake of killing Carleon, Arthur realises that this is not the sort of King he wants to be. So he asks Merlin how he knew about Agravaine, and to his surprise, Merlin gives him an extremely sound and well researched set of arguments, that he promises he has the physical papers to back up.
Or
"And what of me, Merlin? When you are dead." Arthur demanded, eyes pinning him to their proximity. "Do you truly expect me to let go of you long enough for them to lay you to rest?"
Merlin inhaled sharply, for a moment Arthur thought he would protest, insist his life was nothing compared to Arthur's, but Merlin only looked at Arthur, as if he was measuring the depth of his words, the give of his eyes, and Arthur refused to look away, he thought that if he squinted, he could see the stars in Merlin's eyes.

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.

Summary
When Merlin leaves Camelot, Arthur comes to find him and tries to seduce him instead of apologising like a sane person.
Ft. Farm animalsOr
"Aha! So it is a cow." Arthur pointed victoriously at the goat, who looked at Merlin and blinked, almost disbelievingly, as if to say, This is the guy you've been hammering on about for 2 days??
Merlin shrugged helplessly at it.
"Moo..." said the goat.

Summary
The Court Sorcerer's coveted duties did not include waking the King up, or dressing him for the day, or undressing him at night, or accompanying him to hell's mouth on a biweekly basis. But Merlin's only the most powerful mage on the face of the Earth. He can get away with whatever he damn well wants to.
Or
This is pure fluff. Inexcusably and Unapologetically.

Summary
In the aftermath of Merlin renouncing magic in front of Arthur, Gwaine confronts the warlock and asks, very politely, to get his head out of his ass. Arthur and the knights bear witness to the scene, completely in the blue about Merlin's magic and the state of his heart.

Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
02 Jul 2023
Tags
Summary
Merlin snaps and decides to leave Camelot. The knights won't have it. Cue Arthur is dying in his arms and naming him heir.
or
"You were worried." He drawled.
And that did it. That really did. He would strangle Arthur Pigdragon to death with his scratchiest neckerchief.
"I thought I'd lost you, Arthur." He seethed, in response to which Arthur's smirk immediately dropped. "Do you know what it feels like," He continued in a quiet whisper "to watch the world end?" -

Summary
They meet Sappho in the woods. Merlin fangirls. Secrets are revealed(not the magic one) (just Merlin's non-existent mental health). Campfire games are fun until they are not. Cue panic attacks. And a lot of fluff. Ft. Gwaine & Gwen supremacy.

Did I ever tell you that I have a quilt named Wilt? by Katasstrobee
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)

Tags
Summary
On a hunting trip, Merlin is visited by his time traveler employee/ self-proclaimed best friend and the knights are confused until they aren't. Not a magic reveal fic.
Or
"Year?" Merlin began without much preamble.
"2023," Myrridin answered.
"He's returned?" Merlin asked, an uncharacteristic desperation colouring his voice.
"I found the two of you going at it like rabbits so you tell me." Wilt snickered as Lancelot broke into laughter.
"That's.. good." He muttered, meeting Arthur's confused gaze for half a second.
"Oh he was screaming out the goodness of it, believe me!" Wilt breathed out, while Lance was now openly wheezing. Traitors. Both of them.

Summary
"Gwaine." Arthur says finally, already feeling a headache set in.
"King Arthur Pendragon of Camelot." Gwaine smiles gracefully??
At this, the knights and Arthur blanch as one. Of course he is possessed, Gwaine won't use a proper title to save his life."I am not possessed..." Gwaine declares, looking directly at Arthur, then a bit to his left, gaze softening almost imperceptibly, expression incredulous as he says, "... especially not by a fictitious arthropod/villain of a show that doesn't air for 1500 years."
Arthur cannot tell you what the bastard meant with such an absurd proclamation, considering how it was utter codswallop. But Merlin seems to understand something he doesn't, and gives out a sort of 'meep' sound.
or
George asks Arthur to get his head out of his ass. Leon slowly loses his will to live. Gwaine and Merlin remember floating in supernovas. Albion blooms.

Events post and prior to a poorly written panic attack by Katasstrobee

Summary
"It's been an honor."
Merlin tilted his head in recognition. "Likewise."
He wasn't lying. Respectful assassins were hard to come by.
or
When sorcerers make an attempt on the King's life, Merlin is forced to reveal his magic. Fluffy Shenanigans ensure. In which Arthur's a sweet-heart, Gwaine's shameless, Lancelot's downright amazing, Morgana is a mood, and Merlin has a degree in dying for Arthur.
or
Arthur having a gay epiphany. Pure fluff. Shoddy Morgana redemption arc.

Summary
Merlin and Dark Morgana are sworn enemies.. that is until they get drunk at impromptu tea parties. Sir Leon is too exhausted to deal with this shit.
or
"Absolutely not-" She began to say.
Merlin took that as a yes and dragged her bitch ass back home. -
When your love language is soup but you can't cook~ by Katasstrobee

Summary
In which the knights are amazing and incredibly supportive and everything, but the King makes up for his lack of the right words with tooth-rottingly cute actions.

Summary
Magic's been legalised but Merlin is yet to reveal himself. Arthur just wants the truth. If only Merlin would stop turning him on by verbally slandering him every opportunity he gets-

Summary
Merlin is high as fuck. Iseldir is high as fuck. And when you and your homie are both high as fuck, you forget you have an audience.
In which Beltane is the magical equivalent of Cocaine, Arthur's not a total arsehole, and Merlin hasn't seen Iseldir in a long LONG time, which naturally means he can't help but fawn over the druid leader. Fluffy magic reveal, MERTHUR AS FUCK, Merlin-Iseldir bromance, I kinda ignored the knights but they're very involved onlookers.
Spoiler Alert: Ale was not free. -

Summary
Arthur, Gwaine and Merlin are captured by bandits. Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on whose side you're on, Merlin is damn good with a sword. Arthur realises that maybe he's not exactly straight. Implied Merthur. Gwaine's fabulous. Crack mostly. And an appropriate amount of Guinevere- worship.
