Summary
Merlin has a YouTube channel about plants, nature, and various other things green. Arthur has a YouTube channel in which he plays games and does not, at all, talk about his personal life.
For reasons no one understands, their followers really want them to collab.
In which Arthur has hang-ups over shout-outs, Merlin loves his fiancée on his main channel (and may or may not be cancelled for eye-fucking another man), Morgana is ruthless, and Gwaine shouldn't have told the world he has an OnlyFans.

Summary
Bereft of the emotions that should have come at the implications of the sentence, Uther's tone is stoic as if his own son is a common prisoner. “You are to leave Camelot by nightfall. If we find you have returned to the grounds of this kingdom we will have no choice but to carry out your original sentence in the highest order.”
Exiled and disinherited? Brilliant.
An AU where Uther, under the influence of Troll!Catrina and Goblin!Gaius legitimately disinherits Arthur and he must deal with the consequences thereof in an attempt to reclaim Camelot.

Summary
Under the guidance of the mysterious Lady of the Lake, Arthur spends the many years between his death and his revival in the realm of Avalon. There’s plenty of deals to make with the Sidhe, prophecies about magic to unravel, and mostly—there’s Merlin to watch, on the other side, always waiting for Arthur.
A tale spanning centuries, as Arthur finally returns magic to Albion.

Summary
Merlin’s days and evenings blur together into one long, overheated, mess. He is tired.
Which is why it is perfectly understandable that he got confused.

Summary
“Merlin, what is in your hair?” Gaius asks - rather judgmentally, Merlin thinks. It’s not as though Gaius can turn into a bird, making his opinion irrelevant. Everyone’s opinions shall now be irrelevant to him unless they can turn into birds, he decides. He puts a hand to his hair and feels a leaf.
(So this is a very canon-inaccurate sort of re-telling, with some big divergences, minus a dragon or prophecy or two)

Summary
Stede takes in a deep breath and smiles. “Ed, I—” he says, but that’s as far as he gets before Ed’s pulling the gun out of its holster.
He aims, and Stede manages to yelp and duck just in the nick of time. The wood behind him splinters. “Fucking hell!” he yells, and springs back up into standing position. He takes a second to mourn the scarred wood before turning to Ed. “I know I cocked things up, but there’s no need to be dramatic!”
1717. The Golden Age of Piracy. Stede Bonnet sets about wooing the love of his life through any means necessary.
Things do not go as planned.

Summary
King Arthur sets out to keep his promise to the spirit of the Druid boy by repealing his father's ban on magic. Unfortunately, this is easier said than done, for reasons including but not limited to the following:
(1) He can't change the law until he understands magic better, but no sorcerer is willing to explain magic to him until he changes the law;
(2) The sorcerers all have some strange obsession with Merlin, which is awakening all sorts of feelings in Arthur that he really doesn't fancy examining too closely;
(3) He is starting to feel like the butt of some Druid-population-wide inside joke involving the mysterious phenomenon called Emrys; and
(4) Oh yeah, Morgana is still trying to kill him.
Thus he embarks on a journey of discovery, diplomacy, accountability, and self-improvement, and maybe even falls in love along the way.

Summary
This is not as destiny intended, young warlock. You are meant to be the magical side of this coin, not the young Pendragon. I can no longer clearly see what path destiny will follow.
An ancient ceremony alters the course of destiny and everyone must face choices that no one expected. As Uther’s hatred of magic clashes with his love for his son, Arthur sees everything in a different light.
(EDIT April 21, 2015: No major additions or subtractions. Have gone through smoothed out as many typos and grammatical errors as I could find. also made a few word/phrase changes here and there and altered some sentence structure.)

Summary
“You’re the Prince?” Merlin says, eyeing him. He hesitates, then adds, defiant, “The Mad Prince of Camelot.”
Arthur doesn’t move. There’s quiet for a long time, then he says it. “I am.”
“You don’t seem mad,” he says.
The smile wells up from somewhere deep, and very sad. “Well, Merlin,” he says, “give me time.”Series

Summary
“Oh, I don’t know who he really is—no one does,” she says. “Although, some people think he’s probably a grad student doing some avant-garde project for a thesis or something. Others think the whole account is just an elaborate advertisement for Budweiser.”
Arthur doesn’t understand most of what she just said but nods anyway.
Squinting her eyes, she gauges his confusion regardlessly. “It’s someone pretending to be the famous sorcerer. See here, this is his most recent tweet.” At Arthur’s odd look, she clarifies, “It’s like a message that everyone can see.”
@asorcerersays: Guys why did he have to be so hot and like,,,funny? Like it’s been forever and I still miss him. He was pretty dumb though.
Arthur knows his face must look disgusted. “For everyone to see?”
Or, Immortal!Merlin goes on Twitter to complain about his dead king. Unrelatedly, Arthur joins Twitter.

Summary
They say that, when in doubt, you should always choose to live, but, as Jyn is learning, it's much harder to live for a cause than to die for one. On the other hand, if you've got enough fire, you can burn anything, even the Empire. Even your own demons.

Summary
There’s something…off about The Gentleman Pirate. It takes Ed a little while to put it all together, longer than it would have if Stede weren’t so fascinating, so goddamn distracting. It’s little things, at first: how Stede is not a good enough pirate to be that blasé with his personal welfare, how confident he seems that things will work out in the end, the glimmer in his eye he gets when danger comes close and whispers in his ear. It’s maddening and familiar, too, because Ed swears he’s met Stede before. Maybe on a ship somewhere, or in town, a shared look before a shared bed; though, if the sex were as good then as it is now, Ed’s sure he would remember. As Ed watches and waits — and desperately tries not to fall in love — he grows more and more convinced that the truth is a terrifying third option; a monster parents tell their children about at night and all sailors dread. Stede Bonnet is The World Ender.
