Summary
Merlin likes working for Prince Arthur.
At least, he does until the day that King Uther has his worst idea ever and uses magic to locate soulmates for Arthur and Morgana.
It's a terrible idea. Everyone tells him as much. But Uther wants grandchildren. And anyway, when did Uther ever listen to anyone else?- Language:

The Royal Household Survival Code for the Preservation of the Physical and Mental Health of the Knights and Not-Knights by amariram
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
25 Aug 2023
Tags
Summary
Merlin was just ahead of them, talking to what the Knights recognized as Arthur's old servant, even before Merlin. The two were laughing at something, Morris' arm resting on Merlin's shoulder.
"For all the gods, we left him alone for one minute. How is it possible that someone is already flirting with him?" exclaimed Gwaine in exasperation.
"Oh no. Oh no, no, no, no, no," Elyan moaned. When Lancelot turned to look at him perplexed, he noticed that Elyan's gaze was not directed towards Merlin and Morris, but at the Castle. Lancelot frowned, following Elyan's gaze and for a second his heart missed a beat.
Arthur was marching at a charging pace towards the Tavern.
Precisely towards Merlin and Morris.Lancelot brought his hand over his eyes. What to do? What not to do? The Knights of Camelot were not used to being scared for stupid things like that. They had endured worse, They had survived that morning, they could survive everything. The Knights of Camelot were the bravest men in the Kingdom. And since Leon was not with them now someone else had to be wise in his place.
So Lancelot made the wisest decision possible.

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?

Summary
“My lord” and “my love” are really very similar sounding phrases, and anyone could make the mistake of mixing them up. However, of course, Arthur would never ever let Merlin live it down.
Whether Merlin’s lord or his love, at the end of the day, first and foremost; Arthur Pendragon is a giant Prat.

Summary
When one started receiving lost items from their soulmate, it was supposed to be an exciting day. It was an opportunity to learn things about them and about their life. People loved making speculations about who their soulmate was based on the clothes, childhood toys, or other things that their soulmate lost, and therefore ended up in their possession.
Everything was going fine until Merlin found a crown belonging to the prince of Camelot.

Summary
“How do I fix this?” asks Arthur. It comes out weak, almost pleading. “If he’s asleep, how can I wake him?”
Freya looks at him, curious brown eyes searching Arthur’s expression before finally relenting. “You must prove yourself.”
“How?”
“There will be three trials,” replied Freya. “Three opportunities to prove what is truly in your heart. Only when the Goddesses are appeased will They grant you a chance to reach him.”
Arthur glances at Merlin’s still form, at the tendrils growing around his face. He did say he’d do anything.
“I accept.”
When Arthur learned about Merlin’s magic, he banished Merlin from Camelot, never to return under the pain of death. It didn’t take him long to realise his mistake, and it was even longer before he found Merlin again. By then, he was more than a little bit too late, and Merlin was already deep in an enchanted sleep.

Summary
Three years into King Arthur’s reign, magic users across Camelot are growing restless. Though no more executions have taken place since Arthur made peace with the Druids, sorcery is still punishable by death. Frustrated and increasingly impatient, a group of rogue sorcerers decides to take matters into their own hand, kidnapping Merlin right from under Arthur's nose.
Thus begins a long journey, one where Arthur unearths some hidden truths about everything he thought he knew and Merlin's loyalty is put to the test.

Summary
Merlin's eyes changed when he did magic. He knew that. In the privacy of his own head, Arthur had come to think of that golden gleam as beautiful since he'd discovered the secret of his sorcery. This was different. It crackled like lightning; a storm held in Merlin's gaze. It cast brief light upon his cheekbones, spilling odd shadows across his face.
'What's happening?'
'He is dying,' a woman's voice said, sugar-sweet. 'And he will take you with him, Arthur Pendragon.'
---
A routine hunt threatens to become a fatal disaster when Arthur and Merlin are captured and imprisoned in a dungeon used during the Purge. Can they fight their way to freedom, or will Merlin's power be the death of them?

Summary
Flushing in embarrassment, Wei Ying hurries over to A-Yuan and crouches to place his hands on his shoulders. “A-Yuan, that’s enough,” he says. “Sorry, Lan Zhan, he used to go to a different bookstore where they host regular storytimes, I think he thinks you’re the designated storyteller for the day—”
He gets to his feet, holding A-Yuan at his hip, and glances up to look at Lan Zhan. It’s an awful, terrible, horrible mistake. This close, every detail of his face is utterly inescapable.
“Story time,” says A-Yuan, lower lip wobbling dangerously.
Wei Ying glances around, finding people staring curiously at the scene unfolding before them. “A-Yuan,” he hisses urgently. “We need to go. I’ll tell you a story on the way home, okay?”
“Do you really need to go?”
Wei Ying starts at Lan Zhan’s voice. He’s still looking steadily at him, an unreadable expression in his eyes.
(Seven years after running away from home to pursue a story that would expose one of the biggest media scandals in recent years, Wei Ying runs into the last person he’s expecting to see at a quaint, forgotten bookstore he hasn’t set foot in for a very long time.)

10 Reasons Not to Fight a D̶r̶a̶g̶o̶n̶ Bird (a Guide by Arthur Pendragon) by CaffeinatedFlumadiddle
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
31 Mar 2020
Tags
Summary
“Merlin…” Arthur said as he slowly started to reach for his sword. “Don’t…Move…”
“No, no, no! Arthur, it’s alright!” Merlin said as he moved (because obviously he ignored Arthur’s orders and moved) in front of the desk. “She’s just saying hello!”
“That’s a dragon.” Arthur informed him. Merlin looked over his shoulder for a moment.
“No, it isn’t.”
There was a pause.
“Yes, it is.”
“No.” Merlin shook his head. “It…Uh, is not…A dragon.”
“Then what the Hell is it?!” Arthur asked, not letting his eyes drift away from the fire breathing demon. Yeah. That was definitely a dragon. Merlin clicked his tongue before also staring behind him.
“It is…A…Bird…”
There was another pause.
“You’re really sticking with that?”
“I am, thank you.”
Or
Merlin has to convince the King of Camelot that he is not, in fact, in possession of a dragon. Luckily, the rest of the kingdom has already been won over by the baby dragon and is quite willing to aid in this quest.

Summary
“My friends are my hoard,” Merlin groaned into the table his face was slammed on and Gaius raised an unimpressed eyebrow.
“Is this you just now realising it, or just you finally admitting it?” He asked and Merlin raised his head and glared at him.
“Gaius, how am I meant to deal with this? I mean, they’ve already asked me so many questions! And today-! I accidentally revealed to Percy my magic!” Merlin complains.
~~~
It's been five years since Merlin became a dragonlord and now he's going through "dragonlord puberty." He grows wings, talons and fangs and gets Dragon-like behavior, such as collecting a hoard.
Which would be all fine and dandy except that Merlin's inner dragon decided to hoard his friends and now Merlin has to hope none of them notice his strange behaviours.

Summary
For the prompt: Merlin kisses Arthur on the lips right after he says thank you. Merlin feels something pass from him to Arthur and then suddenly Arthur's body is suffused in bright light. Moments later Arthur awakens, his wound healed. Arthur doesn't realize Merlin kissed him, he just thinks he healed him somehow. At first Merlin believes he healed Arthur with his kiss, but soon he starts to suspect that what he passed to Arthur was, in fact, his immortality. Merlin worries Arthur will be angry when he finds out and deem this trespass unforgivable, an utter violation of his person, for who would want to live forever? And surely, if Arthur did want to live forever, he'd choose Gwen or even one of his knights with which to share that never-ending journey.

“Dad!” she called happily, reaching her hands out. Both Merlin and Arthur took a step back, eyebrows raised.
“Care to explain?” Arthur asked.
