Summary
Merlin has always loved the thought of soulmates since Hunith first spoke about them. He always dreamed about who it would be.
Finding out his soulmate was not only younger than him, but destined to kill Arthur, wasn’t at all what he had in mind for his soulmate.
Will Merlin crumble with the pressure of destiny? Or will the love of soulmates bring a new light to his world?

Summary
“I’m sorry, there must be a mistake.” Uther furrows his brows. “That is my son’s manservant.”
“This is Emrys, the most powerful sorcerer who will ever walk the earth. It is our deepest honor to be able to offer his hand to your son.”
“Merlin?” Arthur asks, looking across the hall. Merlin looks the palest and the smallest Arthur has ever seen him. He looks like a scared animal that knows it’s about to be trapped, and that’s when it clicks for Arthur that no part of this is a joke. None of it. “Merlin, what are they talking about?”

Summary
Navigating life events that turn his world upside down, including his ascension to the throne and a revelation that rocks him to his core, Arthur's ever-evolving relationship with Merlin becomes the most important of his life. No one ever said love was easy.
“I would die before I hurt you,” Arthur said, his voice strangled. “I would kill anyone who ever tried to do you harm and it pains me to think that you could ever fear me.”
“I don’t understand,” Merlin said breathlessly. “You’re the king, you – ”
“I’m not standing here as a king, Merlin!” Arthur shouted, his voice breaking as he did so. “I’m standing here as a man, a man who believed he knew you completely, a man who thought you were the one constant in his life, a man who thought…who thought you were his,” he finished, horrified to feel tears pricking his eyes.

Summary
“Are you battling again with the green-eyed monster, sire?” Leon asks.
“No," Arthur says.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
“So this is a new method of celebration?”
“Yes.”
“…are you su—”
“Yes, Leon. I’m sure.”(In which Merlin almost gets married and Leon shepherds the fall-out of that to its natural conclusion.)

Air. He needed air.Or
Arthur is aware of everything that happens around him while he's under Sophia's spell – and he learns more than he'd ever have dreamed.

Summary
“In Pendragon's stead, I shall unite the lands of Albion and bring magic back to Camelot, for I am Emrys the Immortal, the last Dragonlord and the most powerful sorcerer to ever live. I shall ascend as the Once and Future King, the sort Camelot deserves! The age of tyranny has come to an end!”
When Arthur discovers the truth about Merlin's true nature, he goes too far. Merlin burns at the stake, and in the last moments of his life comes to the realization that without a direct intervention, magic will never be free. Therefore, Merlin takes everything into his own hands. He will go against the Destiny, bring magic back to Camelot and unite Albion himself—no matter what the cost.

Summary
Contrary to popular belief, Arthur isn't stupid. He knows that Merlin has secrets. As a matter of fact, he knows exactly what Merlin has been hiding from him for all these years: his grandfather is none other than Dragoon the Great. This... explains a lot.
In which Arthur takes two plus two, comes up with five, rounds up to six, re-evaluates and decides on four and a half, before eventually coming up with four.

Summary
After Merlin loses a patient, he finds that he can't stop himself from blaming Arthur for not doing enough to protect the druids. Unfortunately, the situation only worstens as Arthur's inaction and an innocent death starts off a chain of events that threatens not only Camelot, but all of Albion.
Canon up until "With All My Heart;" story begins approximately a week after they return to Camelot at the end of the episode.
* * *
“Guinevere, I’m sorry, but this is important. If someone’s killing people in Camelot, I have to know who’s to blame—”
“Then look in the bloody mirror!” For a moment, Merlin didn’t realize that he’d spoken aloud; he barely recognized his own voice, vicious in a way that Merlin had never allowed himself to sound in Arthur’s presence.

“If you don't have anything to say I'm hanging up,”
There was a heavy sigh on the other end of the line and Bradley kept quiet to hear what his uncle would say. “Maverick was declared MIA this morning,”
Mach 10 can take you pretty far from your starting point, so when Maverick wrecks the Darkstar plane, no one knows where he is and is quickly declared MIA. Cue Bradley realizing that his love for Maverick massively out weighs his anger so he heads to the one place he thought he no longer had. Bradley goes home.

This series takes place from the last episode of Wizards to before Rise of the Titans. I just felt like there was a lot missing in between them like Douxie’s time in NY, so that’s what these stories are about.

Summary
Merlin knew he was pushing his limits, that he was millimeters away from overstepping the invisible line that Arthur had wordlessly set and the warlock had been careful not to cross, but he was never one to listen to the rules that were set for him. Especially not when he was afraid.
Agravaine had managed to weasel his way into his king’s mind and ingrain doubts in the people he loved, the people that loved him...doubts that only took place and bloomed as the traitor lied and deceived and planted things against them. He had gotten rid of Gwen easily enough, and had almost gotten rid of Gaius. Merlin was afraid. Were a few words and items all it would take for Arthur to turn against him too?- Language:

Summary
Merlin swallowed. “No, I mean…”
Arthur understood what Merlin was getting at immediately, because at that moment water began pouring out of the spout. Within seconds, it was up to their ankles.
The grate above them made a terrifying amount of sense, suddenly.

Summary
That first night, when Arthur brought Merlin to his place, it was supposed to be just another one-night stand. However, the sex was so mind-blowing that Merlin ended up leaving a scrap of paper where he wrote “text me if you wanna have a good time” along with his number before he left Arthur’s place. He didn’t have much hope that Arthur would take him up on the offer. But Arthur texted him the next week. They’d seen each other a few more times after that. It was always just for sex. They never chatted or went out for drinks. That suited Merlin perfectly. He didn’t want the complications of a relationship, and it spared him the hassle of having to pick up men for disappointing one-night stands. Apparently, Arthur was in a similar situation.
So, when Merlin came back from work this evening, tired and horny, he didn’t think twice before texting Arthur.Series

Summary
All of Arthur’s dedication to being a perfect prince and a dutiful son has led him to an arranged engagement that comes with more than its fair share of danger. Grappling with the stress of the situation and questioning his place in his own life leaves Arthur desperate for a moment’s reprieve.
Constantly running into the foreign assassin that Cenred’s court brought along for the wedding is surely dangerous. But Arthur can’t help being drawn to Merlin’s sharp blue eyes and rebellious spirit.
They say that curiosity killed the cat. But satisfaction brought it back. Could choosing something for himself for the first time really be so risky?
