Summary
“I’m an activist, Mr. Morgan,” Merlin explains.
“I see that,” Knight Gwaine says.
“I want this place to exist here forever. Forever and ever and ever.”
“You mean until King Arthur climbs out of it?”
“Yes,” Merlin says. “But after that, too, since I’m not like, 100% positive that he’s going to know what a fish ladder is. I figure we’ve got to do some work on that and probably his English before we let him go off into the wild.”
“Right. Obviously, the English. But what happens if someone tries to put another body in the lake while you’re here?”
Merlin doesn’t have an answer to that.
(Three women's bodies are dumped into a lake, and detective Gwaine Morgan is assigned the case. He does not anticipate said lake to be guarded by a local 12 year-old and is even less prepared for what happens when the 12 year-old becomes his murderer's next target.)

Lay Your Head Down on the Shoulder of a Good Friend by Skitz_phenom

Summary
With Camelot readying for the upcoming gathering of rulers of the Southern Kingdoms to discuss peace, Uther has tasked Arthur with an additional duty: befriend the Prince of Essetir and learn anything he can of King Balinor, and of magic, and of dragons, that might be of interest should the treaty not succeed.
That's easier said than done, as he and Prince Merlin don't exactly hit it off immediately. But, befriending Merlin and learning of magic and life in Essetir leads Arthur down the paths of discovering long held secrets surrounding his own birth, and his mother's ill health, and his father's hatred of all things magic.
Adding even more complications to the mix are rowdy knights, frustrating princesses, a possible traitor in their midst, and an overly-verbose dragon; not to mention the burgeoning and peculiar feelings for his fellow prince that Arthur struggles to put a name to.

Summary
“Merlin,” Arthur gasped softly, shivering at the cold air coming through his window, “You shouldn’t be here… it’s not safe—last time you were almost ca—”
“Shhh,” Merlin hushed him as he walked over to the bed. He climbed onto it and sat beside Arthur, reaching up and cupping his face.
“I missed you…” He whispered, a soft, adoring look in his eyes that made Arthur melt.
“I… Missed you too…"
OR
Prince Merlin of Lledrith, son of King Balinor and Queen Hunith, met Prince Arthur of Camelot (of Uther and Ygraine), during a meeting between the Kings to discuss alliances.
Things went downhill with the Kings. Balinor was king of a land of magic and dragons & their lords, Uther a king who fought to wipe out all magic… While a hatred formed between the Kings, neither noticed a bond forming between their sons.
Merlin and Arthur got off on a rocky start, but after leaving for a ride in the woods, they hit it off rather quickly, even with Arthur knowing about Merlin’s magic.
Now, they struggle to hide their relationship from their parents while trying to find a way to get their fathers to compromise on an alliance.

Summary
“Good evening, my love! What kept you so long?” Arthur greeted him warmly as soon as he walked into the room.
“Your what now?!” Merlin blurted out wide-eyed. Surely he couldn't have heard that right.
But Arthur was unfazed by his apparent confusion and promptly planted a kiss on his lips as if it was the most natural thing in the world for him to do.
Merlin accidentally stumbles into a timeline where Arthur seems to think he is his lover, and a very affectionate one at that. Now he just has to figure out how he got there, how can he get back to his own time and why Arthur keeps thinking about poetry.
But little does he know that in this world he is a noble too and they are to be married within a month...
Or: Arthur is not emotionally constipated and Merlin doesn’t know how to deal with that.

Summary
“I was wondering if you might come home with me.” Merlin stops mid-rant and stares at him, and then down at his panini again, and back at Arthur. This is a panini of lies and pain. He can tell already.
“For Christmas? I’ve got an uncle and a mother and a sister waiting for me at home, in case you hadn’t remembered, I’m not going home with you just because you’re a workaholic.”
“No, it’s. My mum might be under the impression that we’re a little bit married.”
In which Merlin gets conned into spending Christmas with Arthur's family and pretending to be his husband, because somehow this is his life.

Summary
In the Omegaverse, 8-year-old Merlin is sacrificed to the fierce talking dragon Arthur. Moved by an unexplainable instinct, instead of eating him, Alpha Arthur takes Merlin in, treating him as his most precious treasure—his personal human, companion, and something far more sacred. Orphaned Merlin sees Arthur as a big brother figure, and Arthur sees Merlin as his human to raise and protect.
Unknown to Arthur, the true reason he’s so fiercely protective and possessive stems from Merlin being an Omega, a fact neither of them realize. Sheltered his whole life in the mountains with only his dragon, Merlin doesn't know what an Alpha or Omega is. When Merlin's Omega instincts start to stir, he is left very, very confused. Can Arthur help?

Summary
Merlin moves to Camelot when he is just a toddler with his mother to live with Gaius. One day he ends up meeting the crown Prince Arthur and accidentally showing him his magic. After a scolding from Uther, the boys are separated and told that they cannot be seen together. That doesn’t stop them from constantly bumping into each other though. As the years go on the boys are friends in secret from Arthur’s father. Ygraine catches on very quickly when she finds a 8 year old Arthur sneaking food out of the window to Merlin. When Merlin gets an apprenticeship at Gaius’ it becomes easier for the two to see each other and harder for them to hide their friendship from Uther. Especially when (using magic) Merlin saves Arthur’s life in front of Uther and is made his manservant. They now have to pretend that they don’t know each other and keep Merlin’s magic hidden, as well as up and coming feelings out of the public eye.

of Shaking Quills and Smudged Ink [a Midnight Affair] by TheCourtSorcerer
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)

Tags
Summary
With slow movements, cautious of the guards appointed outside his door, the dark-haired crown prince stood from his desk, carefully rolling the letter in his hands as he rose. He grabbed a ribbon from the corner of his desk, and tied it around the rolled parchment. Then, assuring its tightness was sufficient, he walked to the curtained window, socked feet quiet on the hard floor.
A cough from outside his chamber’s doors had Merlin freezing in his tracks as he raised a hand to open his curtains. Shuffling from the guards had him holding his breath, anxious anticipation suffocating him.
OR
Merlin & Arthur are planning to marry in secret, but mothers are more perceptive than they seem.

Summary
"I hear…this is a—ah, a betrothal ball?” Merlin asked, cocking an eyebrow. Arthur barely bit back a laugh, knowing what he’d said hadn’t actually been funny. Oh, dear gods, he’d just met the man and he was already a mess.
“It is,” he managed to confirm, somehow maintaining coherency.
Or
Arthur's parents host him a ball to find a bride. Arthur thinks it's stupid and pointless...until Merlin arrives.

Summary
“Did you boys get into a fight?” Ygraine asked. Arthur heard the frown in her voice.
“No. It’s just that…” Arthur exhaled loudly through his nose, the backs of his eyes burning. “Mum, what does it mean when you think about someone all the time? And you miss them whenever they’re not around, even if they’re literally just in the next room over? And when you look at them, you feel like you’re going to be sick, but in a good way, like when you’re on a rollercoaster? And your thoughts get all jumbled up and you end up saying things you don’t even mean to because you’re too scared to say all the things you do mean? Am I losing my mind?”
Ygraine remained quiet for several pounding heartbeats. “Only you can honestly answer that question, darling. But to me it sounds a lot like love.”
Arthur resolves to tell Merlin he's in love with him, but not without a little help from his mum.

Summary
“Who am I to wed?”
Balinor and Hunith shared a nervous glance. Balinor knew this would be the hardest part—he wasn’t the most pleased about it either, but it was the best idea he had and, well, at least he knew his son would be marrying into a good family.
Even if he held his own biases against the patriarch.
Merlin stared on, expectant—arms now crossed over his chest in perhaps the least princely manner Balinor could picture. Hunith pulled her hand from his knee, and he braced himself, head high and shoulders back.
“Arthur Pendragon,”
or
Balinor & Uther have a deep mistrust of each other due to a petty feud in their past friendship, and therefore the only way to bring their kingdoms together is through marriage--the only way they'll trust one another to not destroy their kingdom is if they are united.
