Summary
Merlin has carved out a nice little life for himself on the outskirts of Camelot, where magic is held in far less suspicion than in the citadel. It's lonely, but peaceful. One day, the Knights of Camelot come to arrest him for the sorcery he has failed to hide well enough, and a hostile, awkward first meeting with the prince will force him into new situations and change his life in ways he never thought possible.
In which Merlin doesn't go to Camelot, but meets Arthur anyway.

Summary
“Prince Arthur, yes?” Merlin asked him, an easy smile on his lips. Arthur swallowed and nodded. Merlin held out his hand. “May I have this dance?”
Arthur’s heart climbed up his lungs and he put his hand in the Prince’s tentatively. “If you’ll have me.”
Merlin’s eyebrow quirked up. “Didn’t realize a dance equated to getting married.”
OR
Where Balinor is king, Merlin is a prince, Morgana, Arthur, and Gwen are Bffs, and Arthur is pining.

Summary
A story that chronicles the lives of our gang as teachers and students leading up to the winter holidays. Merlin and Arthur are dumb face in love as usual, but it takes them a while to get any traction. Merlin has a lot to learn and Arthur just cares too damn much. Their colleagues are fed up, the kids are okay, Merlin and Arthur can't catch a break, and everyone loves Gwen. So not much different than canon.

Summary
A modern magical comedy very loosely based on Ugly Betty. Publishing king Uther Pendragon has had enough of his playboy son seducing every female assistant he has ever had so he hires Merlin, a man he is sure Arthur will never sleep with. Merlin would be more insulted by this fact if he wasn’t so busy trying to juggle his duties, save Arthur's skin from ruthless fashionistas and keep his magic a secret at the same time. Expect appearances by oil-lathered knights, the occasional mad druid, a perverted Will and a mental caretaker who lives in the basement and keeps harping on about coins and destiny.

Summary
After Arthur disobeyed his father and retrieved the Mortaeus flower for Merlin's cure, Arthur's frantic pleading to save Merlin led to a misunderstanding that actually convinced Uther to take the flower to Gaius.
Now all Arthur has to do is explain to Merlin why Uther thinks they are lovers.
And while Uther is supportive of the relationship, he requires it kept secret. But in his paranoia, Uther misinterprets every innocent interaction between the two as something far more intimate, to the embarrassment of everyone involved.
And then the knights begin showing up...

Summary
For months now they've been casually meeting in the lobby of their building, and Merlin's been harbouring a (totally not creepy and perfectly normal and not at all pathetic) crush on his neighbour, Arthur. As luck would have it, they both suddenly find themselves on their own for Christmas, and well… They say there's nothing like a bit of holiday cheer to bring people together. (And pancakes. And toys. And no matter what Arthur says peppermint tea is a legitimate thing. Also cake.)

Summary
Merlin likes his sleep. He likes it so much, in fact, that when he was still in high school, his mother had to resort to drastic measures in order to get him up in the morning. The most effective of these- including but not limited to a bucket of ice cold water, an air horn, and once an entire mariachi band playing at the foot of Merlin's bed- turned out to be the smell of cooking bacon and pancakes, accompanied by the sounds of sizzling grease and butter.
Therefore, Merlin is very displeased when he arrives at Camelot University to find that his halfwitted, Ken blonde, stupidly fit roommate snores like two freight trucks trying to procreate on a nightly basis.OR
Merlin's new roommate snores, and he is not pleased.

Summary
Merlin paused, took a deep breath, and a delicate, red band appeared in front of him, softly flowing in the breeze. It was wrapped around his wrist and then disappeared into the distance.
Merlin took it between his fingers, held it as he focused on the gentle pull he felt. With his eyes, he followed the faint thread into the distance and couldn’t help but wonder who might be awaiting him on the other side.

Summary
Two days after their kidnapping on the night of the full moon, Arthur surprised Merlin by asking him to eat breakfast with him. Arthur did this because he was an extremely kind prince, no matter what Merlin might say about him being a prat, and also because he was very nervous and maybe not quite over the fear of losing the only man he could, without hesitation, call a friend. Still, Arthur had been trained since birth to do many things, and faking confidence was one of them.
So, it was with great fake-confidence that he said. “So, when are we going to Ealdor to meet your imaginary friend?”

Summary
Merlin was not about to be pawned off.
"Wait just a minute-" Merlin interjected.
"I am not finished!" Uther barked. "The reason I called you in was; because of your little publicity stunt our fan base has gone from millions to hundreds of millions and if they find out your little thing was just a misunderstanding the Pendragon name is ruined, so you two better suck it up and face your consequences because you two are getting engaged for real!"
or
The one where Arthur and Merlin are both actors who don't really like each other and get a picture taken of them that looks like a proposal. The two have to bear with each and get over their hate to save the Pendragon name.Series
