Summary
Based on a tumblr post:
"achillesuwuFollow
Me thinking that it would be really funny (why nearly all of my most begin like that —) if Freya comes to Camelot as a Druid/magical representative and Arthur, the Knights and Gwen know 3 things about her
1. She is married
2. She is really powerful and can kick your ass
3. If she isn't in an ass-kicking mood her very very very powerful immortal husband will handle the ass kicking
They absolutely do not know about Freylin and they all are sweating buckets when they see Merlin successfully flirting with her at the welcoming feast.
( Meanwhile Merlin and Freya enjoying some role-play : so~ my name is merlin 🥰 Oh, nice to meet you, I'm Freya.🥰)
Basically the Knights, Gwen, Arthur (and even maybe Gaius for extra fun) trying VERY hard to stop Merlin and failling miserably "

Summary
At some point the monster chasing Merlin had had names that meant something to him.
Percival
Elyan
Lancelot
Gwaine
Leon
ArthurBut not anymore. Now, the group of knights slinks through the forest at break-neck speed, with such a degree of practiced and lethal unison they may as well have been the golden dragon curled on each of their shoulders.
So Merlin is running.
Merlin is running for his life.
OR
Merlin accidentally reveals himself as a sorcerer to Arthur and the knights. A very traumatizing 24 hour sorcerer-hunt proceeds this, that leads to a very conflicted Arthur, a very injured Merlin, and a very angry Gwaine.

Summary
When Merlin's magic is exposed shortly before season 2 starts, the path of destiny starts changing forever. Now on the run with Arthur, Morgana, and Gwen. Merlin hopes to convince Arthur that magic is totally good instead of him and Morgana just being an exception. Morgana, meanwhile, hopes to convince him to usurp his father. As allies are gathered and Arthur realizes the injustice in his kingdom, it looks more and more like he will have to act in a drastic way. A way he dreads.
Meanwhile, Arthur and Merlin are growing closer and closer and might just have feelings for each other. Something they probably should be better about realizing, considering the example of Gwen and Morgana right next to them.
In a land of myth and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom now rests on the shoulders of four, their names: Merlin, Arthur, Guinevere, and Morgana

Summary
The last Installment of the Once and Future Alien series. Supergirl killed Morgan Edge on tv and the world is left to grapple with what that means. And poking at Superhero legality leads straight to the dirty laundry of world governments across the world. Its a bad day to be anyone in any position of power. Through all the chaos lines are being drawn and long needed arguments had. It would be helpful if Lena wasn't dealing with a slight identity crisis now that she has her memories from a different life in her head. Also Gwen would like everyone to know she is a workers rights lawyer not whatever it is they think her law degree is. Arthur, Merlin, Alex and the rest of the DEO no longer remember what sleep feels like. Someone has finally forced Kara to see a therapist though, so there may be hope.

Summary
Prompt: "Arthur/Merlin, rings- Merlin starts having Totally Inappropriate Thoughts about the rings on Arthur's fingers, and because the world hates Merlin, he also starts having Even More Inappropriate Dreams about Arthur and him fingering Merlin with his ring on. Either Arthur finds out and makes Merlin a very happy person, or during sex Merlin's like "It's fine if you leave the ring on Arthur. No, really, it's COMPLETELY FINE." :D I prefer unestablished relationship, but I'm totally fine with established relationship as well.
feed my ring!kink please? :D"

Summary
Arthur is relieved when Balinor the Dragonlord agrees to help, but dismayed when he refuses to come back to Camelot. Instead, Arthur is stuck waiting in the middle of nowhere while Balinor calls the dragon. To make matters worse, Arthur’s idiot manservant clearly has a massive crush on the guy: despite him being a grumpy, straggly, cave-dwelling sorcerer, who makes terrible cabbage pottage, Merlin hasn’t taken his eyes off him! Arthur will tolerate this nonsense for a couple of days, but only because he must save Camelot.

Summary
The peace didn't begin with the end of a war, with an enemy's death, or with the fall of a hostile kingdom.
No.
It began with the end of the secrecy. (...)"No more secrets," Arthur had demanded.
"Never," Merlin had sworn.
And then, while Merlin's magic ties itself to the land, making it literally impossible to keep his emotions hidden, Merlin attempts to lie.

For many long years Merlin waited.
For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.
Until one day, suddenly, it did.

Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.

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
"Speak treason against my uncle again, and I swear you can join yours in exile forever!” Arthur's voice thundered across the throne room. All Merlin had done was address his suspicions of Agravaines betrayal and framing Gaius. He hadn’t even mentioned Morgana, or even Uthers death.
“There will not be any reason for banishment, sire. I leave Camelot willingly.”
Merlin didn’t bow. Nor did he look back as he walked out of the throneroom, leaving a heartbroken Arthur behind him. After the big wooden doors closed shut, he could hear shouts and disagreements.- Language:

Summary
'Merlin, my friend. What –?'
'I need your help hiding a body.'
Every man in the antechamber froze, the silence thick and breathless. No one so much as moved as they all stared at the threshold, where the door stood ajar only a fraction, blocking them from view.
Yet it was Lancelot's reply, carried on the edge of a weary sigh, that made disbelief stutter in Arthur's chest.
'Again?'
******
A fragment of overheard conversation leads Arthur and his knights deep into the Darkling Woods, where the truth about Merlin's magic finally comes out.

Summary
Arthur is well on the way to becoming the type of leader Merlin had always hoped he'd be - one who cares for all of his people.
But even so, preparations for Yule festivities along with some unforeseen circumstances result in Merlin taking on too much work. Unfortunately nobody notices until it's almost too late.- Language:

Summary
“Merlin doesn’t lie to me,” says Arthur, clear and even. “There is no doubt—”
“Of course I lie to you,” says Merlin, choosing this terrible, horrible moment to become lucid. “I’ve been lying to you since we met.”

Summary
"You can take Daisy out to fetch the cloak-"
"How do you know that?"
Arthur closed his eyes, expression riddled with irritation before turning to look at Merlin expectantly.
"Know what?"
“The mare I use. You know I call her Daisy? I never told you that." Merlin explained. Arthur stared for a few moments. He could see the flicker of emotions pass easily over him. Anger, annoyance, exasperation, indignance, and finally acceptance...AKA the Five Stages of Grief (Pendragon Edition).
"You talk to the horse.” He pointed out. Merlin narrowed his eyes.
“I whisper to the horse."
"...am I supposed to not hear it?” Arthur asked. Merlin wondered how likely it would be that he also heard him whispering magical spells if he heard him murmuring to the bloody horse. “Also, only you would choose such a ridiculous name.” He muttered. Merlin swallowed. This wasn't a problem at all, right? Right.
Or
Merlin knows Arthur well. Better than he knew himself apparently. What he hadn't expected was for Arthur to know his servant just as well... This causes problems. (also known as "The Time Merlin Had a Mental Breakdown Over Arthur Being a Normal Human")
