arthur bbc canonworld gwaine gwen lancelot magic merlin merthur morgana percival perwaine retelling uther

This is the retelling of BBC Merlin with addition of many of my own scenes. This is the version that can only happen in my dreams and I hope you enjoy it!

Told by his mother, Merlin has been sent to live with his uncle far away from Ealdor in a kingdom named Camelot. Apart from leaving his life behind in his home village, everything seemed to be ok until the first thing he saw was the execution of a magic user; and a surprised and slightly afraid look on his uncle when he displayed his own magic in front of him. 

How is Merlin supposed to live in a kingdom that kills, hates, and fears the very thing that defines him? How is he supposed to avoid death if he is destined to use magic in the very heart of Camelot to protect Arthur Pendragon, the prince and the man destined to be Once and Future King, as his manservant? And how is he supposed to deal with having feelings for that obnoxious, arrogant, clotpole, dollophead of a prat when it's wrong and forbidden in any way you look at?

Please know that I don't own the main plot and characters. Merlin belongs to the British Broadcasting Channel and/or Julian Jones, Jake Michie, Johnny Capps, and Julian Murphy.All Rights Reserved

We'll Always Be The Last To Fall by cassan_riviera

He does not remember the feeling of panic rising in his throat at the thought that he would not be discovered before he became nothing more than a dead corpse in a dead Queen's garden, an errant child out of bed after hours.' **** After a lifetime of living on the knife-edge of death, when a seventeen year old Arthur is nearly killed by a traitor to in the very heart of Camelot, all he gets is a second glance and an imperious command from his father that Arthur is to get a new manservant. What's worse is that all his protests seem to fall on deaf ears. Arthur doesn't exactly have the best history with manservants. And it seems like this one with Merlin is going to be shorter and worse than most. It is not just that he is forgetful, or disappears for days on end, but it seems like he had no grasp of common human behaviour. But despite everything, they manage to forge a friendship, and one night, long-kept secrets are revealed, pledges and sacrifices made, and a new era birthed.

Merlin one shots by kylawrites715

This is a bunch of BBC Merlin one shots because I love Merlin and all his people. I don't do Merthur sorry. I do take suggestions and propmts! I DON'T OWN MERLIN! THE PLOT AND CHARACTERS BELONG TO THE BBC!

Hidden prince by RosePearl2003

We all know the story of the young boy called Merlin. But what the most people don't know is that he is the lost prince of Imardin, a kingdom with magic. What happens when knights come to Camelot in search of their prince? What will Arthur do? You will all find it out. And yeah, I'm bad at descriptions, so, don't blame me. And also, English isn't my first language so, their can be mistakes and, I actually hope that you tell me if I make a mistake, if a sentence isn't good, if the word isn't good, just tell me! Anyways, let's start the story. The picture isn't gonna be the real picture, but, I'm gonna draw one. Because almost everybody is using this picture.

Merthur oneshots by evestarmusicstar

Pls do read this! It starts out bad but I get better at writing as time passes! This is a merthur one shot book it is going to be almost all fluff maybe one or two angst. I will not write smut. Unfortunately I don't own Merlin or any of the other characters. They belong to the bbc Merlin. I made this cuz some fanfics that I wanna see don't get written so here they are. Also I know this is rated mature, but that is not because of the naughty!!! That is because I am sometimes to eager and able to write gore. So be prepared my beautiful children!

It's not Betrayal by twixlea

"Merlin has-" The ghost of Uther Pendragon has told Arthur that Merlin has magic. Arthur struggles to deal with it, until he's forced to once Camelot has a familiar new visitor. ~ Morgana crooned to the guard, her words cold but soothing, smile apparent in her voice. The sharp clicks of boots snapped against the cold dungeon air as a high-headed, cold-hearted sorceress stood proudly in front of the old man. Dark hair, wild like a bloodthirsty animal, contrasted sharply against her pale, creamy skin. A dangerous smile lingered on her lips, watery green eyes gleaming with malice as she tilted her head to survey her prisoner with mock sympathy. ~ Heads up, this fic is as straight as a ruler, so don't be expecting gay smut. I warned you!

Merlin: The Secret by MysteryOfWordsDK

This is a Fan-Fiction based upon the BBC series 'Merlin': Merlin is busy as usual working as King Arthur's servant. He rarely gets a good night's sleep, and it's beginning to take its toll on him. The king begins to notice. Love is growing between Arthur and Gwen, which is a joy to some, but a curse to others. Morgana goes all in to prevent Gwen from taking her place as queen beside Arthur on the throne of Camelot. She is prepared to do anything to win and is now more determined than ever to discover who Emrys truly is. Will Merlin be able to keep up appearences and at the same time fulfill his destiny? Will he have enough strength to defeat Morgana? And perhaps most importantly; will Arthur finally learn the truth? It becomes clear to Merlin that he must guard his secret with even greater care - or it might no longer hold. One thing is for sure; everyone is in for a surprise as the story unfolds... (Continued in my other story "Merlin; The Land Of Albion") :D

Merthur - The King and His Guardian Angel by CreamyXD

Merthur AU (Set around early season 4) Arthur Pendragon is the new king of Camelot having assumed the throne after his father's death at the hands of his sister, Morgana. One day while out on a hunt, a Druid appears, telling him of his destiny; a man named Emrys who resides in Ealdor. The Druid advises the king to seek out the man, for Arthur's destiny cannot begin without him, for he is Morgana's doom. Merlin is a young warlock living in the small farming village of Ealdor. His life is quiet. He spends his days toiling away at the fields with his best friend Will while honing his magical talents with the help of his mentor, Gaius, the physician from Camelot who visits on occasion. When he meets Arthur Pendragon, he can't help but hate the prat. Of course, until he gets to know him better. Meanwhile, Morgana scours the kingdom for the sorcerer Emrys. Desperate to find him before he finds her. When her search leads her towards Ealdor, she's surprised to find Arthur there, and with a scrawny peasant boy no less. As their paths cross in the usually uneventful village, it becomes a race between the son and daughter of Uther Pendragon to either save or destroy Emrys.

Boy From The Woods by IgnatiousTheWarlock

Arthur Pendragon has always trusted his father's opinion of sorcery. He has witnessed, first hand, the atrocities Camelot's enemies could commit with the aid of magic. However, after Arthur, Morgana, and Gwen give shelter to a strange boy, Merlin, they find wandering the woods, Arthur begins to question all he knows. Will Arthur be able to protect Merlin from his dark past? What if Merlin wasn't raised by Hunith or even Gaius, but by a corrupt king intent on taking advantage of Merlin's power? **merthurish** (Also on AO3)

I'm Not King Anymore (Merthur Short Story) by StyxHuntress

I got the inspiration for this story from a similar oneshot on Fanfiction.net by Aeon The Dimensional Girl if the user wishes for me to take this one down I will, however I will point out that I expanded on the concept and definitely made it my own. Originally gonna be a one shot, but ended up being too long for a one shot. Merlin returns to Camelot after Arthur dies and gets banished by Gwen. He goes to sit by the lake of Avalon to wait for Arthur. Eventually Arthur returns. Merlin is not immortal in this version, however he is still extremely powerful. This is about their life together. Warnings: malexmale relationship, some language might be considered crude, mentions of m-preg. Mentions of thoughts of suicide.

Merlin's Son: A Tale old as Time • Merthur by merthur102

Freya lives the attack, only just. But when she dies giving birth, Merlin's Son is born just before the Tears of Uther Pendragon, what will Merlin do to protect his child? What will Arthur do, when he finds out? Based of the series, but not completely. Featuring Merthur, Arthur 'not being a stupid prat', Good Morgana, Gwen and Lancelot and a whole lot of cuteness. Here's a snippet from one of the chapters: "I do not want your gold! I want to live without being hunted, without fear. I want magic to be alive again!" He said and Arthur grinned. He didn't even have to think about it. Anything for you, Merls. "Done." --- *Disclaimer* I can't take credit for the cover as I found it on Pinterest, I don't own Merlin either, if I did Merthur would be more than just fanfiction, all rights go to the creators. Thanks for all of the love 🥺 btw this is also on AO3, if it is easier for you to read on there.
