    Summary

    For want of a nail, the shoe was lost. For want of a shoe, the horse was lost. For want of a horse, the rider was lost. For want of a rider, the message was lost. For want of a message, the battle was lost. For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost. And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

     

    Merlin manages to wrangle a visit back to Ealdor out of Arthur by telling Arthur that he will be unable to run his kingdom on his own. After Merlin leaves on his vacation, Camelot slowly but surely falls apart to Arthur’s horror and chagrin and he realizes just how much he has come to rely on Merlin’s help.

    Summary

    Merlin has waited for three long years for this exact opportunity. During a battle against the near-mythical Barbarian King Arthur, Cenred has Merlin's manacles removed so he can fight. With only two guards watching him, it is easy for Merlin to make his escape. He doesn't make it far, and instead ends up being dragged before Arthur himself.

    (Note: You do NOT need to know anything about D&D to read this, I just thought Arthur would look hot in Barbarian Rage and this got out of control)

    Summary

    Started off as my answer to Tumblr's @merthurmicrofic prompt: Touch
    Again, my ability to understand Micro fails me.
    Like really fails me, second chapter destroyed microfiction dreams.

    Merlin meets Lance's group of Alpha friends, and find they're all very big on touch.
    Well, all it seems, except Arthur.

    Just simple cuteness, no 18+ content. Tonnes of swearing though, and some insinuations, but no actual sex.
    Now with second chapter Arthur's POV
    And kissing, because as a commenter rightfully pointed out, no kissing was unacceptable.
    Happy Reading!

    Summary

    Arthur and Merlin have a special relationship. They always have, even when they were prince and servant. While many question it when first noticing, eventually it becomes an understanding in Camelot—and even among some other countries—that where there is Arthur, there is Merlin. And, where there is Merlin, there is Arthur.
    Or

    Arthur and Merlin's relationship as witnessed and explained by others.

     

    Also, or

    Five times someone realizes that Merlin is the Queen, one time Merlin realizes it himself, and one time he owns it.

    Summary

    After yet another attack on Camelot, Arthur's investigating everyone's rooms for traces of magic to reassure the populace. Gwaine's got nothing better to do, so he follows along. Everything's fine . . . Until they get to Merlin's room.

    It's not evidence of magic. It's a good deal more problematic than that.

    Summary

    „M-Merlin?“, Gaius stammered, sounding like he was on the verge of a heart attack.
    „Yes?“, asked Merlin, puzzled.
    Gaius nearly fell off his chair.
    „Merlin, I can’t see you!“, he shouted.
    „What do you mean you can’t see me? I‘m right here“, Merlin replied. „Maybe you need to get your glasses checked, they aren’t working properly.“
    „Merlin, look down at your hands!“
    Merlin did. Or rather he tried. Because he found that he couldn’t look at his own hands because there were no hands to look at. His hands were still there because he could feel them and one of them was holding up his spoon. It was just that they weren’t there.

    Or: Merlin turns himself invisible by accident and finally gets to see Arthur freaking out about him missing in all his emotionally constipated glory.

    Summary

    Upon finding a magic lamp, Morgana makes a poorly worded wish that she hopes would place her on the throne of Camelot.

    Meanwhile, Arthur and his Knights find themselves stranded in a strange land claiming to be Camelot filled with magic, talking animals, a girl Merlin, and a blue hedgehog sat upon the throne claiming to be King Arthur.

    Summary

    Arthur has let his manservant get away with many things that should have seen him removed from his position and tossed out of Camelot. The disappearing act that caused him to be late has Arthur raging, searching for his dolt of a servant. It seems that an Omega has taken up residence in Arthur's chambers, and Merlin isn't there to deal with it, perhaps because the Omega is Merlin.

    Summary

    "I don't think you understand," Merlin said as he started walking backwards, brows wrinkled in confusion. "I can rip your throat out with my teeth and drink your blood. Does that not bother you?" He asked. Arthur finally glanced up from the papers in his hand to look at him, pausing his steps altogether. Merlin waited.

    "...Merlin, you fell over trying to put boots on." He said. Merlin grimaced, looking down at his feet.

    "I hadn't realized you were supposed to wear them all the time." He muttered, uncertain what this had to do with the fact he could murder everyone within a ten mile radius. Arthur sighed. "And those are bold words from someone who can't dress himself!" He added indignantly. Another sigh. Humans did that a lot as it turned out.

    "Merlin, that's your job."

    "And I've taught you several times. It isn't that hard."

    "No, I - " Arthur started and closed his eyes. "I don't have time for this."

    Or

    After living with demons for sixteen years, Merlin decides to explore his human side by venturing to Camelot. Also, he has a destiny to unite his species and bring magic back into Camelot, but he's not too worried about that.

    Summary

    Most people imagine magic reveals involve prophecy and drama.

    The Knights of the Round Table discover Merlin’s magic through a series of increasingly suspicious “accidents,” and immediately choose to never speak of it again.

    Not because they’re noble—

    but because they’ve seen what the forest does when Merlin is annoyed.

    Summary

    Arthur didn’t know why he agreed to this.
    “Morgana, is this really necessary?” he called out when he caught sight of his sister skittering behind the cameras. “I mean, really? Reading thirst tweets?”

    OR

    Prince Arthur agrees to do the BuzzFeed Thirst Tweets challenge. Arthur ends up reading one of Merlin's drunken thirst tweets about him and to Merlin's utter mortification, recognises him.

    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

    Arthur was not oblivious, thank you very much. 

    No matter what people might think, no matter how often he turned a blind eye or pretended he didn’t see what went on in his castle, he did. He saw everything. He knew everything. He knew the truth. The truth, however, was not always so easy to accept. It could be scary, downright terrifying, which was why Arthur preferred to let people think he was oblivious. It was safer that way, for everyone, if he acted as though he did not know the deepest secrets Camelot held. 

    or

    What I wish had happened in the Coming of Arthur.

    Summary

    “They say Emrys tamed the great dragon of Camelot and sired the white dragon of Albion-”

    “Sired?” Gwaine interrupted “This Emrys fellow is going around siring dragons? How exactly is that happening? Sex with other dragons?” He asked and despite the situation, Merlin flushed. The man in question blinked, looking equally baffled by the question. From the corner of his eye, Merlin could see Arthur pinching the bridge of his nose.

    “Uh…I actually don’t know.”

    “But you’re Emrys,” Merlin reminded the imposter with a sigh “You don’t remember siring any dragons?”

    “I said it was an off day!” The man complained, trying to cross his arms despite being upside down. Merlin took a long breath. Lancelot had already walked away, but that did nothing to hide his howling laughter.

    Or

    The knights keep hearing various (dramatic) rumors about the great and mighty Emrys. Everyone is such a gossip. Merlin is trying not to have a heart attack. Lancelot is loving life.
