Summary
When Arthur blows the horn of Cathbdhah for the second time, the horn doesn’t just send Uther to the other world. It sends Arthur away as well – to a world where Ygraine never died, the Great Purge never happened, and magic lives freely at court. As do those who practice it.

Summary
Merlin's bones don't feel like they fit. His magic is spilling out the edges. He can't sleep.
There are foxes in the night, nipping at his heels.
“I’m afraid you are close to waking, young Emrys.”
***
Self-indulgent and dramatic. If Merlin is too much magic, too much Emrys to be human, that's got to feel a bit fucky.

Summary
Merlin tells Arthur of his magic when he had the chance. Arthur takes it better than expected and sets out to save Camelot from Uther's tyranny.
Spotted a continuity mistake in the show, saw it as an opportunity to rewrite canon with Merlin/Arthur slash. Attempts at historical accuracy made.

Summary
An AU of the season 4 finale, wherein Arthur refuses to abandon his castle during Morgana's seige, and Merlin refuses to use magic to take away Arthur's will, so they're at an impasse.

Please Hate Me, I am Difficult to Love (Loving You is Like Breathing) by portently
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)

But everything had been so gold, so full of life, so beautiful.
*
In which Arthur befriends a sorcerer hiding in the forests while hiding his identity as the Prince. As they navigate their budding relationship, the two explore what it means to be good and what it means to be loved.

Summary
Merlin's been tipping sideways for a while now. This is how he finally falls.
Or
We saw in canon how Merlin changed through-out the seasons of the show from young, cheerful, pure and naïve boy to expressionless, morally dubious, borderline depressed man even when Arthur was alive and well. I just wrote this thinking what would happen if Arthur had lived but Merlin was still hidden.- Language:

Summary
In a world where everyone knows that creating Jurassic Park was a bad idea...
Just because it could be done, that didn’t mean that it should. It was a pity that Cenred King didn’t get the memo. And that he ever got Ygraine DuBois involved.This is the story of two generations of palaeontologists. A tale of love in a time of dragons. And dinosaurs.

Summary
Merlin is the happiest he's ever been in his life. Camelot is safe for the time being, Arthur, Guin, and the knights know of his magic and accept him for it, and his budding romance with Arthur is thriving. And then he falls ill to a sickness that suspiciously mimicks pregnancy... or perhaps it isn't mimicking at all.
OR
Dragonlords in Merlin's world are a bit more active in the world of dragons than Merlin ever knew, they birth dragon young themselves.

Summary
“Arthur? Gwaine? What are you doing here?” Merlin sounded perplexed, as if he couldn’t quite fathom how they had managed to walk out of the castle on their own.
For several seconds, Arthur was distracted by the bloody entrails Merlin and Lancelot had been waving around like bait. The innards--which now hung limply in their grasps--might have been enough to turn a weaker man’s stomach, but they only gave Arthur a moment’s pause because then it hit him how mortifying this whole situation was. Was he really going to ask Merlin if he preferred Arthur over Gwaine?
Apparently Gwaine didn’t have any such qualms. “We were just wondering which of us is your favourite.”
Merlin stared blankly, a sight that was especially absurd given the blood coating his arms all the way to his rolled-up sleeves. “I'm sorry?”

“And Court Sorcerer.”
“You hate it when I say Sorcerer,” Arthur complains.
“I hate it when you call me a Sorcerer. I am a Warlock. My job is Court Sorcerer,” Merlin’s comebacks are snappy, thought out, and Bethany notices the way he still grips onto Arthur’s hand, even though it may be that they’re bickering.
or
the foreign queen is very, very, surprised when she finds out about arthur's daughter, and even more so when she finds out about his husband.
