I truly LOVE this fic, it is so fun and I've read it multiple times <3 The voice of each character comes through so well; I love Molly's pathologist humour, and I absolutely loved Mycroft in this. :D
The moments of domesticity and liveliness with them all together were also so lovely and comforting. It is such a fun and cozy read, and full of moments that make you laugh and smile <3 -

Summary
He had been a fool to think he had understood before, that merely hearing about the things Merlin had done, all the trials she had endured, the people she had lost along the way, that any of it could have ever been enough to make him understand the depths of Merlin's suffering in the name of destiny, in the name of protecting him.
Now, seeing her crumble before him, her heart open and breaking for something she had lost so long ago… now, he understands.

Summary
Dr. Merlin Emrys is a civilian instructor for Top Gun, the U.S. Navy's elite aviation combat training school, which means he knows all about brash pilots, and their cocky attitudes. When Lt. Arthur Pendragon joins the program, it looks like he’ll be just another one of the same, but in a class of show-offs, Pendragon is determined to be noticed—and it seems it is Merlin's attention, in particular, that he wants. Merlin's not sure what he did to deserve this ...
Inspired by Top Gun (1986)

One of the nicest things I've read! Military stories are usually not my thing but this was so adorable. The ending was especially beyond cute and I just love love a nice fluffy story and this was all that and more <3 so well written and the sort of thing that is such a comforting read.

Summary
“Why are you laughing?” Arthur demanded. “This is a serious matter!”
“Of course it is, sire,” Merlin wheezed. “Not funny at all, it’s just—” he made the mistake of glancing up, and the sight of Arthur’s most severe expression on his own face made him double over with laughter.
“Shut up, Merlin,” said Arthur, but there was amusement creeping into his tone. The sheer absurdity of the situation was too much. “Dear god, Gaius had better find a cure for this before you run my kingdom into the ground.”

It's just Merlin's luck to get trapped in a castle with the knights and a crazy fae who wants to see how well he can lie. Fortunately, he's very good at lying.
Unfortunately, the fae isn't too pleased about that.The knights are going to have a lot of questions if they live through this.

Merlin got to rant in this and it was so cathartic tbh. And Arthur and the Knights (but especially Arthur) finally getting it together was so nice. The Merlin&Mordred and Merlin&Gwen scenes were my favorite and made this whole thing even more lovely <333

Such gorgeous fanart! Like genuinely so beautiful. Some of them made me a teeny bit sad though, but that's because of how beautiful it is! There's not a lot of fanart with Freya (that I've found) so I especially love some of these that had her in it<333

I read this a few months ago and randomly remembered it because of how hilariously accurate Uther's characterization is (and I love that Morgana got his dramatic genes lol). Rereading it still makes me laugh and smile. It's short but still funny and cute and fits in great characterization (I loved Morgana and Arthur's relationship, and how Uther is still unnecessarily Extra tm).

Modern AU: Everyone keeps assuming that Merlin and Arthur are together, so as a joke, they start pretending it's true. And then, suddenly, it is.
A story of giant teddy bears, meddling sisters, nonexistent homoerotic subtext (or is it?), and accidentally falling in love.

I think this was one of the first fanfics I ever read for Merlin, before I was even done with Season 1, and it's so fluffy and fun to read no matter how many times I reread it lol. It's still one of my favourite fics!
Note to self: Idk when exactly I first read it, but probably sometime in early June 2021.

Summary
In the middle of some quest or another, Merlin, Arthur and the knights find themselves stuck in the middle of a shrine being told that, if they wish to proceed unharmed, they need only speak their true names and titles. Straight-forward enough, right?
Wrong. Merlin really hates the Old Religion sometimes.

Summary
Merlin was technically banished, but everybody knew he wasn’t really gone. Sometimes, the cooks would leave out spare food only to find their shelves fully restocked the next day. Gwaine would leave out plans to prank the other knights and they would be carried out within the hour. Arthur would turn a blind eye to the way familiar blue eyes twinkled at him from underneath the hood of a cloak, or ignore the whispers that said the stocks were haunted.
OR
Merlin is basically the poltergeist of Camelot and everyone just kind of accepts it until magic is legal.- Language:

Summary
Arthur watched, unable to fully comprehend the events that had seemingly just crashed and burned in front of him rather than calmly unfold. He turned to look at the other knights who only shrugged as Mordred sank lower into his seat, lips pressed into a pout as he picked at his food.
“I…” He started and paused, taking a moment to gather his thoughts “Why do you want Merlin to like you so badly?” He finally sighed. Mordred stopped playing with his food, glancing up before looking at the door the servant in question had exited through
“Because he’s Merlin.” He said as if that provided any sort of answer.
Arthur didn’t deserve this. He did his best to be a good person. Maybe this was some kind of divine intervention saying he needed to up his charity game. He needed to give the lower town a bigger tax break or something. Perhaps ride out and save three more damsels than usual.
"He has a point," Gwaine piped up as he inhaled another mead "He is Merlin."
Or
Merlin hates Mordred and Mordred is determined to put an end to that. Arthur is convinced that this child is after his man.- Language:

I love this one so muchhh because I adore the idea of Merlin and Mordred being friends and being chaotic together, as they should (bc any friendship with Merlin has to be at least a little chaotic. It's just the Merlin Effect tm).

Summary
"I'm not lying!" Arthur yelled and while his knights all nodded, he could see the slight roll of their eyes. "She's real. I swear on my life she is!" He tried again. Gwaine outright laughed. Arthur really should just behead him. That would solve everything.
"What's her name then?" Leon asked reasonably. Arthur stared. "My lord, is it...At all possible she might have just been in your head?" He asked, gently. Arthur felt his mouth drop.
"I am not crazy!"
"Well..." Merlin began and the prince turned to glare at him. "I've watched you try to put on a shirt, sire."
"He said crazy. Not incapable." Elyan murmured and immediately winced when Arthur gaped at him. "Sorry, I...Sorry." He offered weakly. "You're not crazy."
"Just incapable!" Merlin smiled. Arthur hated everyone and swore on his life he would find this damn lake lady even if it was the last thing he ever did.
Or
Arthur comes across a beautiful woman near a lake who likes to talk about her husband a lot. Nobody believes him except Merlin (aka Freya lives).

One of my favorite fics because Merlin gets to be happyyy and also I adore Freya and would have loved to see her and Merlin's relationship develop in canon (even tho I remember being highkey surprised when I watched the Freya episode bc I never expected Merlin to get a love interest lmaooo). Also Freya being a cat queen and also bAKING ALL THE TIME??? Like wow I'm in love. Literally such a cute fic I adore it with all my heart. <33
