Summary
It was all too quick: an arrow jolting into Arthur’s back with a fleshy thud, Arthur crying out. Five more arrows in the air, one pointing to Arthur's heart. Merlin flung himself forward, threw his arms out, screamed his magic in a blaze of fire. The last arrows crackled into nothing. Archer after archer fell, thumping to the ground.
And Merlin had no time to shout, no time to gasp, no time to move back. Arthur was already spinning, his sword swooping up and slashing back down in one smooth movement. A perfect arc to target Merlin’s neck. The blinding white edge too large in Merlin's vision, too close. It snagged in his neckscarf, cut right through to his skin.
Time stopped.

Summary
Merlin was a kind and gentle soul, sometimes too kind and too gentle for his own good. Or you know, his own wellbeing. Arthur on the other hand, well…there was a reason that Arthur’s manservant was considered off limits. Any who dared harm him was not long for Camelot (or this world for that matter).
Or the five people Merlin unintentionally gets exiled, and the one he gets exiled on purpose.

Summary
Claire answered the phone grumpily, as she always did.
Most of the time, the grumpiness was warranted.
“Whaddya want?” she asked.
“There’s this guy, sounds German or something but google translate isn’t picking up the language. Pretty sure he said the word Arthur though. And... Myrddin. And Camelot. Context clues, I think he’s claiming to be King Arthur.”
“Karen, I swear, if you are prank calling me.”
Merlin and Arthur in the MCU, just trying to live their lives.Featuring: Arthur's *dramatic* return and subsequent rescue from Central Park by Karen Page and a long-suffering Claire Temple, Brett Mahoney investigating that guy working in the morgue who's almost more of a cryptid than Daredevil, Merlin continuing to be lightly stalked by druids, and some actual vigilantes.

Summary
There was a time, not so long ago, when Arthur would have said that Merlin is… maybe not weak per se, but certainly not strong. He's an untrained peasant, after all, unused to the rigorous training of the sword and shield, the weight of chainmail and plated armour, the endurance built by sustained battle. He doesn’t have the obvious bulk of a knight, nor the keen reflexes lacing his muscles. He’s… well, yes, Arthur supposes he would have thought Merlin weak.
On his honour, he will never call Merlin weak after tonight.

Summary
There was very little gentleness in most of Arthur's physical interactions. He was a warrior, but even outside of that, his role as a leader meant that by necessity he had to maintain a certain distance and decorum that contained a different kind of violence. Sometimes he wondered if the safety of that distance was worth the ache of isolation.
Or: 5 times Arthur noticed Merlin using his gentle hands to tend to his knights and one time Merlin took care of Arthur himself.

Summary
Lancelot looks over at his friend again—and he looks less like a bumbling servant here in the sun and more like a creature carved from the old magic itself—ethereal, sharp, and beautiful in a way Lancelot had never properly allowed himself to notice.
The Knights' shaking breaths were hidden behind exhaustion of heavy labor.
—or—
Sooner or later everyone falls for Merlin’s charm.

Summary
As far as the rest of the world is concerned, Gary 'Eggsy' Unwin is a registered Dominant. It's on his driver's licence. It's on his National Insurance card. Hell, it's even on his bloomin' GCSE certificates. And the fact that it's all a load of bollocks is a secret Eggsy had intended to take to his grave.
Course, he hadn't been expectin' a bloody sub-drop to sweep in and knock him on his arse in the wake of the Valentine Massacre. Turns out grief and adrenaline ain't a good combination.

Summary
Clearly Arthur agrees, because he frowns in confusion. "I know that we don't speak about it often, but it can't be that shocking."
Elyan frowns. "Don't talk about it often? This entire kingdom does nothing but talk about it. Your father had it outlawed, Arthur."
What?
"Had it outlawed? Really?" Percival asks, and Leon's expression surely mirrors Arthur and Percival's. "I knew it was frowned upon, but I didn't think it was outlawed."
There's a beat of silence, where everyone is looking very confusedly at one another, and Leon is beginning to think that they're not all having the same conversation.

Or, in which Arthur tries to stage an intervention for Merlin, but the Knights can't figure out whether the intervention is about Merlin's magic or his sexuality.

Summary
NOTE: I have changed usernames. I am now the-writing-heron. Please contact me there if you wish to speak to me!
Arthur Pendragon is a teenage boy who is an anomaly in his world. He is one of the few who ever displays Warm Emotions; he is one of the few who can love, one of the few who can cry. But in a world where only Cold Emotions reign, crying and loving is the sign of an outcast.
Anguished that he is shunned, Arthur turns to a bedtime story, a story of a band of Deities in the Forest of Ascetir, Deities who are not afraid to love or to cry.-

"Stay away from him!" The visiting prince snapped his eyes to meet Arthur's challenge. "Why?" he sneered. "He's just a mouthy servant. He needed to be taught a lesson." An old 'friend' is in Camelot and Merlin is paying the price.

Summary
In the middle of some quest or another, Merlin, Arthur and the knights find themselves stuck in the middle of a shrine being told that, if they wish to proceed unharmed, they need only speak their true names and titles. Straight-forward enough, right?
Wrong. Merlin really hates the Old Religion sometimes.

16 May 2026
Summary
Crossover of Merlin with the street-level part of the MCU, but without any MCU-ness. Like, none of their big events play any part in this. Treating it as a fun sandbox of characters and concepts, which is what Marvel is anyway.
The one where Merlin works as a forensic pathologist for the NYPD and lives to torment his co-workers (mostly Brett Mahoney, poor guy can't catch a break), and then Arthur returns.
Crossover with Good Omens after the first fic, because Merlin does in fact have friends older than him and Arthur is back for a reason.

Searing pain and beautiful pleasure (the agony and ecstasy of waiting) by we_try121
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
19 Sep 2024

Summary
"Care to explain what this curse is then."
Merlin did not. In fact he could think of few worse experiences than the one that was about to befall him, but he supposed he'd have to. His eyes rolled skywards, silently praying for strength, then dropped to the floor in front of Arthur.
"The curse is meant to help produce children. It makes a couple feel-" he took a deep breath, "aroused, so they lay together with the hopes of having a child. The curse lifts when the couple-" he waved his hands around a bit, "-y'know or when it loses power."
Merlin left out that it was meant for magical couples, with the hopes of producing magical children, in order to repopulate after the Purge.
...
"We just need to wait out the curse, it will lose power eventually."
"How long will that take?" Arthur asked, his breathing sounding more laboured.
Merlin swallowed harshly. "A couple of um-" he really didn't want to think about this next fact "- days, maybe."
"Days!" Arthur squawked.

Summary
Set after the Battle of Camlann, Arthur is sure his only venture next is spending the rest of his days finally figuring out the mystery that is Merlin. It’s been two years since Merlin’s magic was revealed and Arthur was finally starting to not only tolerate magic in his kingdom but come to accept the fact it had always been there and will always be. But his progress is shaken, however, when he and Merlin are suddenly expected to navigate their way through a new, and perhaps the most challenging, undertaking yet….
Fatherhood.
Basically Arthur and Merlin become parents, a bit unwillingly, through magic and prophecy. But their unwillingness is short lived as becoming fathers forces them to address their own feelings for each other and what it all means for the future of Albion.
