Summary
Arthur and his men all sucked in a breath when they saw the cage. It was pure iron, and inside was a man. Well a young one. He couldn’t have been quite twenty years.
His blue eyes were wet with tears and the rest of him were just wounds and bruises. His wrists were clearly raw and torn up under the shackles.
The boy didn’t speak but he did whine and try to cover his eyes. The whining increased when the iron hit his face.
~~~
What if everyone knew Merlin was already a warlock when they met him? What if Magic wasn’t completely illegal in Camelot? And what if uther isn’t as bad as he was in the show?
Merlin is running from something and is captured by a poacher before being saved by Arthur and the knights. When he’s taken to Camelot uther gives him to Arthur as his private sorcerer but Merlin knows little of what that entails.
In this fic we take canon and throw it out the window for a fun slowburn merthur fic.Only posted on a03

Summary
Arthur died. Then Arthur wakes up. One week after Merlin begins his service as his manservant. Ten years worth of future knowledge is at his fingertips and the chance to make everything right: to rediscover Merlin, magic and all; to be the brother Morgana needed him to be; to spend more time with Guinevere and be the man she knew he could be, the man he aspired to become; to confront his father and change Camelot for the better.
But Arthur’s a prince again. He hasn’t known Merlin for one year, let alone ten, Morgana has no idea they were friends let alone related, Guinevere still thinks he’s a prat, and he has to act the part of a prince if he doesn’t want some poor sod getting killed in the hopes of lifting a fake enchantment Uther thinks was cast on his son.
Things are about to get a whole lot more complicated.

Summary
Gwen's exiled, it's 4th season, Uther's passing day, but also Arthur's birthday.
Arthur go sad and Merlin emphatizes through drinking too much for him. They share Arthu's bed and everything they thought they knew crushes down as suddendly they know more than what they were supposed to, but that's great in the end because if we wanted to suffer we could rewatch the series. It is better than what I make it sound like, but just so you know, if you are not horny I'll tell you when to stop reading, it's your choice.

Summary
Merlin was supposed to have a normal day. Granted a normal day is him being tired to death by doing chores and putting up with His Majesty Pratdragon and basically, you know, surviving his daily life of a servant/secret sorcerer.
But it beats having to run from every Knight of Camelot, who are trying to woo him you know!
Now it is a race against time for Merlin and Gaius to fix this before the Knights kill each other to gain his favor. Will they succeed?

Summary
“Merlin, do you plan on just watching while others work?” Arthur asked him, standing right next to him, head slightly tilted towards him, Merlin had a hard time focusing on his words.
He was so damn close and he looked so incredibly good with this sly grin on his lips, mockery in his endless blue eyes.
“Yes, I… I’ll take care of the horses, Sire,” Merlin replied stutteringly. God, why was he stuttering? It was Arthur for god’s sake.
“See that you do,” Arthur replied and winked at him before turning around which left Merlin stunned for a moment. Arthur never winked.

Writing prompt: "Are you sure you're not cold?"
Obsessed over a gifset from Tumblr by doctorcziken of Colin Morgan from 'The Living and The Dead'. It gives a phenomenal view of his body and I am imagining that he was hiding that during Season 5 and no one saw.
Buff Merlin!
Gwen has herself a Peggy Carter/Steve Rogers moment and Gwaine wants to live vicariously through her.

Summary
And maybe the anger pounding in his blood brought it out easier, or maybe it was the feeling he recognised now as dread when he saw Merlin dressed for battle with a blade in hand that did it. Whatever it was, something had broken. Something had shifted. And Arthur needed him.
