Summary
When Merlin Emrys is sent on a 'round-the-world assignment, he begins remembering a life of magic, dragons, and kings. To make matters worse, a strange woman starts stalking him along the way. And that's before he even meets Arthur Pendragon, whose answer to climate change is going to save the world. Because apparently just saving Britain won't be enough this time around.
Edit: An eagle-eyed reviewer pointed out some mistakes/things that need to be fixed about Brasil. Apologies and I will do my best to fix them up.

Summary
"It's a good idea," Merlin interrupted, and it was. A double date was exactly what he needed to take his mind off the really inappropriate thoughts he was starting to have about his best mate. Continuing to have. Whatever, it was a good idea.

Summary
Considering Arthur's future wife will be chosen less for compatibility than for her political value, Merlin may be the only marriage he'll have that won't end in bloodshed or a great deal of fortifying wine.

Summary
Merlin's dreams have always fuelled his art, but they've always been abstract and removed from reality. Soon after he meets Gwaine, he starts to see vivid images of a past full of death and magic and love for a King who was ripped from him. Things only escalate further when he spends a weekend in the country with Gwaine and meets his group of friends, which includes aristocrat and It Boy, Arthur Pendragon. Merlin soon realises that no matter how hard you try, one thing is certain, you can't fuck with destiny.

Summary
Uther dies instead of Ygraine when Arthur is born. Balinor helps Ygraine secure her position as regent, magic isn’t banned, and Merlin and Arthur grow up side by side. Camelot is different but not cloudless, destiny is still a troublesome thing, and Arthur is still charmingly oblivious when it comes to things that matter most in life.

Summary
Post S5 (AU); canon to the end of S4 & part of the way through S5. Gwen and Arthur have been married for several years, Merlin's magic has been revealed and Arthur has now reached a kind of cold peace with it. Then a delegation arrives from a kingdom based on magic, and suddenly Destiny is starkly and ruthlessly to the fore. The question is should - can - it be avoided?
WARNINGS: One scene may be interpreted as dub-con, infidelity, attempted suicide (magical/fantasy), season 5 spoilers. Angst. Please do not read if ambiguous consent or any kind of force used in sexual situations is a trigger or is distressing to you.

Summary
When Albion’s need is greatest, Arthur will rise again.
Fourteen hundred years after the dragon’s prophecy, Merlin’s magic is fading. He’s starting to age. Yet this is the moment he finally finds Arthur, returned, reborn… and imprisoned in his own home, after car accident a decade earlier left him with life-changing injuries.
What use will these two broken warriors be in the hour of Albion’s greatest need? More’s to the point, what is Albion’s greatest need? No one (including Merlin’s crack team of reincarnated friends) seems to know.
Meanwhile, out of sight, a corrupt government and a wicked uncle scheme and plot. At the same time, in the deepest depths of Albion’s soil, the omniscient threads of an ancient magic call. They call to Arthur’s altered mind. They call to an ailing Merlin.
Their message is simple. For Albion to survive, Merlin and Arthur must thwart the biggest heist in history – no matter the cost. -

Summary
Ashton's aware from the beginning that there's something weird about his marks, and no it's not the whole You Have A Mark On Your Skin That Will Tell You Who Your Soulmate Is thing. More like... no one Normal has three of them.
OR: they're all soulmates, Ashton has issues, Calum is totally fine with it, Michael's scared, and Luke wonders why everyone has to make it so complicated.

Summary
Michael Clifford doesn't do commitment. He doesn't do feelings, or romance, and that's why casual sex works for him. Until he falls into bed with a man he knows too well, and spends all his time telling himself that it's nothing more than sex.
Except it's not, and Michael doesn't realize it until it's too late.

It’s Valentine’s Day, and Michael and Ashton have erased each other from their respective memories, along with the entirety of the last two years they’ve spent together.
