Summary
"Honestly, Merlin, how could you possibly be this useless!"
A deafening silence fell over the room. Merlin looked up at Arthur with a face resembling a kicked puppy.
Maybe this should have been Arthur's cue to stop, to apologize, but instead it just made him even angrier.
"What?!" he demanded, hands shaking in an effort to contain his rage.
Merlin, still eerily quiet, dropped his gaze to the floor. His hair covered his eyes, obstructing them from Arthur's view. Finally, he spoke up.
"You're a bad friend." -

Summary
Arthur is relieved when Balinor the Dragonlord agrees to help, but dismayed when he refuses to come back to Camelot. Instead, Arthur is stuck waiting in the middle of nowhere while Balinor calls the dragon. To make matters worse, Arthur’s idiot manservant clearly has a massive crush on the guy: despite him being a grumpy, straggly, cave-dwelling sorcerer, who makes terrible cabbage pottage, Merlin hasn’t taken his eyes off him! Arthur will tolerate this nonsense for a couple of days, but only because he must save Camelot.

Summary
Arthur and Gwen are on a picnic date having a perfectly lovely, happy time together. Merlin is there too. He's very distracting. His big, stupid eyes. His funny, stupid jokes. His gentle, stupid hands. Arthur thought he knew who the third wheel was, but now he's beginning to wonder…
Canon era, AU. Around S2 but Arthur and Gwen are dating. Uther is still alive and Morgana has not yet encountered Morgause or decided to betray them. Arthur POV.

Summary
In the end, Arthur had come to a couple of conclusions. Firstly, he's madly in love with an utter dumbass, though he knew that already. Secondly, said dumbass has a fear of scaring his loved ones off, which is ridiculous because Merlin couldn’t get rid of him if he tried. Thirdly, making him wait before officially becoming Court Sorcerer seemed to confirm his fear of being dangerous; a feeling Arthur would never ever want to purposefully invoke in him. And fourth, his people began to view Merlin as their king more than they did Arthur. Oddly enough, as it happened more and more after the situation in the lower towns, the king found more and more times that it, in fact, had always been that way. Only now, people were a bit more open about their favouritism.
The hierarchy in a castle should be fairly easy to understand. Servants and cooks and stable boys all somewhere near the bottom with the King himself at the very top. Somehow, Arthur had managed to completely dismiss that as soon as he made magic legal. In his righteous defence, it was all Merlin’s fault. And Gwaine’s, definitely Gwaine’s.

Merlin's magic by CitadelVeilt, Theroundbartable
Fandom: BBC Merlin, Good Omens (TV), Merlin (BBC), Merlin (TV), Merlin - Fandom, Merlin BBC, Merlin TV
04 Jul 2025
Summary
This is a series based on BBC Merlin.
It's about Merlin's magic and his relationship with Arthur. In as many different ways as I can imagine.
The knights and servants and other characters will also have many appearances. But the main focus will be on Merlin and Arthur.There is no need to read the stories in any order or all of them at all. Each story is it's own idea. They can be read separately.

Summary
“I forbid you to wear your neckerchiefs until the delegation leaves. Do we understand each other?”
Or: Arthur should be worried about how possessive he gets whenever someone gives his servant too much attention, but Merlin doesn’t put up too much of a fight either.

Summary
Arthur wakes up in modern Glastonbury and to his unfathomable relief finds Merlin. But nothing is simple. Everything he knew is gone, for one. He wonders what of his achievements were actually his own, and not just Merlin's magic, for another. Arthur also has to face the fact that he kept the ban on magic going. Was he ever truly a good king?
There is also the “I love you” he mouthed to Merlin before dying. Something he cannot afford to focus on, because, as Merlin tells him, Albion’s time of greatest need is upon them.
Then comes the unthinkable. Merlin’s magic, which has been growing over the last thousand years, is suddenly too strong for the sorcerer's human body to handle. Faced with the prospect of losing Merlin, feelings suddenly come out and Arthur realizes that if he can save the man he loves and the land of Albion, he might be able to forgive himself for his mistakes and everything he is not.
The question is, can he?
Expect fluff, angst, humor, banter, hurt/comfort, whump, and lots of Merthur!

Summary
Merlin is mentally Ill. This is his... journey? Start to finish of... healing? That's the word I want to use. He gets better in the end. Please remember mental illness wasn't really acknowledged in this era. They didn't have a word for depression or a diagnosis like nowadays, but people felt that common ground of low mood, they would have somewhat known it existed.

Summary
Merlin gets kidnapped. Which is a terrible inconvenience, but nothing to be too concerned about when you’re a very powerful sorcerer. The plan is simple: allow himself to be held captive for a few days, and then make a “fortunate escape”.
Then, of course, Arthur, not knowing any of this, just has to show up right as Merlin’s about to escape. And Merlin, being terrified of Arthur discovering his magic, has no choice but to lock himself back up and re-inflict the wounds he’d magically healed.
Cue the angst and comedy.

Summary
Fit Bloke yanks the books from his hands harshly, unbalancing Merlin, making him have to stop himself from face planting by bracing a hand on the floor. Giving him a disgusted look, Fit Bloke sneers, “Get up, you look ridiculous,” before briskly walking away in the opposite direction, his leg connecting with Merlin’s shoulder and knocking him over again.
“Prat,” Merlin says, collecting himself and getting up. Fit Bloke may be a prat, and an arse, but the view of his bum when he strutted away wasn’t bad at all. In fact, it was a very peachy bum, probably from footie....
