Summary
A year after returning to Ithaca, Odysseus struggles to hide his growing fear of water and thunder.
A year after "600 Strike", Poseidon is inexplicably incapable of healing his wounds.
Sick of continuing to clean up the wreckage of Odysseus' peace of mind caused by a decade of terror at the hands of Poseidon, Penelope calls on the one god that would be more than delighted to help humble his uncle and help a mortal in need:
Dionysus.

Summary
The tavern excuse wasn’t going to work again — he would have to warn Gaius, but for now, he would have to come up with something else.
“You’re right. I wasn’t at the tavern.”
Triumph came across Arthur’s face. “Go on,” he said encouragingly.
Merlin wasn’t encouraged.
“I was...uh…” He tried to come up with a reasonable excuse for this time. “This time, I was...my…”
“Yes?”
“My...my aunt died.”
OR
When the tavern excuse fails, Merlin has to come up with another reason for his unexplained absences, and it quickly spirals out of hand.

Summary
“We should try it,” he suggested.
Merlin nearly choked, his eyes wide as he tilted his head back to look up at Arthur. “What?”
A light flush rose to Arthur's cheeks, and he shrugged.
“Why not? Make a bet out of it. If you can fuck me without waking me up, you win,” he offered, heart racing despite his blasé tone. “If you fuck me awake, then I win.”

When Arthur finds a scene from an erotic novel Merlin is editing less-than-believable and Merlin voices his disagreement, he makes it his mission to discover whether he or Merlin is right about the matter.

Put Me Back in It by alphalupi
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, Arthurian Mythology, Merlin (TV)
20 Jan 2026
Tags
Summary
This is what he’d been waiting for, this is why he’d suffered centuries in an odd sort of stasis. He’d seen the rise and fall of empire after empire, felt spikes in magic and heard whispers of legend that were so close to the real thing he’d nearly deluded himself into believing it time and time again, but nothing had felt quite like this. After an entire millennium of waiting, the King had returned.
Or: Harry Potter is the fated Future King of Camelot and Merlin isn't about to let him grow up in Surrey with no knowledge of magic. What results is a Harry who's much better trained and much more well equipped to dive headfirst into chaos and a Merlin who remembers what it's like to care.

When I Didn't Know The Answer, I Found It In Your Eyes by ironfamjam for muguetmuse
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
26 Mar 2023
Tags
Summary
“It was never supposed to end like this. You were both meant for such happier things.”
“I was always meant to be a tragedy.” Arthur disagrees.
“Dearest darling, you are the king of kings, this will not be your end.”
With Arthur's death comes a single chance to go back to the beginning and save everyone he's ever loved. Seeing home in Merlin's eyes and a hope for a better world in Morgana's, Arthur knows what he must do.
Only bringing magic back to Camelot will prevent the future he knows is coming from happening, but in his way is the only mountain he's never been able to climb; his father won't change for anyone, not even for his son.

Summary
All of the Camelot worries as Prince Arthur fails to find an omega mate, he could fall to the madness at any time and then the other countries would swarm Camelot.

Very similar start premise as Babby Heat but this splits from that one pretty fast

Summary
All Merlin was expecting was a night off, maybe he'd have a glass of wine or read a book later, but for now he was content to sit by fire with his mending. He wasn't expecting a surly Arthur to come back to his rooms hours before he was due, his foul mood caused by some stupid Lord or other laughing at the surprising fact that (or at least Merlin thought so) the Prince was still a virgin. Even more surprising was that Arthur took Merlin's advice on the matter, arranging a tryst with a recently widowed Lady so-and-so, only for him to realize too late what a stupid idea that was.
Since he can't cancel now, Arthur demands Merlin teach him everything he knows about sex, which definitely isn't another stupid idea and definitely won't lead to at least one (or both) falling in love.
