Two Sides of The Same Coin (Merthur)(Discontinued) by clementineme

Merlin and Arthur. There never was, nor would there be, a pair quite like those two. Arthur, the Once And Future king of Camelot; and Merlin, the greatest sorcerer of all time. Of course, Arthur doesn't know about Merlin, nor does he know about the way Merlin is starting to feel... In the very beginning, Merlin had realized his love for his master, but then his master had realized his love for Morgana's old handmaid, Gwen. Merlin was heartbroken, but got over it, or at least he told himself that he had. Gwen has just been cast out of Camelot, and Merlin is rediscovering his old feelings for Arthur. Now Merlin has a chance, but will Arthur look at Merlin in the way Merlin looks at him? Only time can tell, but there is very little time for such things now. Morgana is plotting up some evil scheme that will kill Merlin, Arthur, the knights, and take over Camelot. With forces aligning behind her, there's a chance that Morgana may even win. As Merlin struggles to show Arthur his love, all of Camelot is in danger of Morgana's powerful magic. So what happens if Camelot falls?

Her Knight in Camelot by MarieHiggins

A modern-day man's ordinary life shatters when a fierce, enigmatic woman bursts into his world, claiming to hail from the medieval era. Her mission? To drag him back through time to the legendary kingdom of Camelot. The only problem-he doesn't believe in magic, knights, or anything she's saying. But the past won't take "no" for an answer. Camelot is on the brink of ruin. The king is dead, the realm is in chaos, and the rightful heir-spirited away to the future by ancient magic-has been lost to time. Desperate to save the kingdom, Merlin's inexperienced granddaughter is assigned the task of retrieving the true king. She journeys to the modern world, armed with little more than a handful of spells and a fierce determination. But the future is far stranger than she imagined, and the lost Arthur-now an ordinary man-has no memory of his royal destiny. To make matters worse, she's misplaced the one magical artifact capable of returning them to Camelot. Time is running out, and the fate of the legendary kingdom hangs by a thread.

Destiny Defied by NeverEndedForMe

Guinevere Pendragon needs a king. A shadow from the past; a strong leader? Her hesitant friend; a fractured bond? Or loyalty; a man who's never left her side? Camelot is without a king. Guinevere is alone; only Sir Leon still stands by her side. Everyone else is gone. Ruling in grief is a challenge she thought she would face alone, but true to his word, Leon stays close, offering advice when she wants to give up. Offering friendship. Offering even a hint of... love? But then Merlin turns up; he didn't die, as Gwen had feared, and has returned. He's home in Camelot. Instead of the joy she'd expected, Gwen is struck by a startling anger. Friends don't abandon friends. Merlin is distressed- he never meant to abandon Gwen, but it seems she can't see his staying away as anything else. They'd been friends before, but maybe friendship isn't enough. Merlin is the most powerful sorcerer to walk this earth- there must be something he can do. Yet it seems no matter how hard he tries, he can't be enough. Because maybe Gwen needs something else. Someone else. Can Merlin resurrect the past for her- a dark and dangerous game? Or should the past stay in the past? As if the rising tensions within Camelot aren't enough, it seems a threat is lurking outside the kingdom. Whispers of an army led by a ghost. Time will reveal the threat is already deep within the castle- already close to the queen. It seems the past can't let go of Camelot, and with the eerie Cup of Life falling into the conflict, past mixes with future. Some ghosts are hard to bury, but maybe Gwen isn't after the past anymore. Camelot needs a new start. New leadership. New rules. The old ways versus the new. Fear. Respect. Magic. Fear alone cannot lead Camelot, respect must be earned, and magic holds an uncertain future. They'd all begun to think they were safe- but is Camelot even meant to have a future? Or is it doomed to follow the destiny of its past kings? To die- and leave them all devastated amidst its ashes.

When Arthur Met Guinevere by Rubberduckz84

Every king needs a queen, or so they say. Arthur has only just defeated Vortigern, so finding a queen is the least of his worries. No, first there's the long list of wrongs that must be righted, as well as rebuilding Camelot almost from the ground up. But it would seem Fate has other things in mind when his men come across the most fiery of prisoners kept high in one of Camelot's towers. A prisoner who would very much like to return to her own domain, where she is set to rule in her own right. The last thing Guinevere wants is to be wooed by a king. Especially one as ill-mannered and uncouth as Arthur. Even if a part of her does find him entertaining and so very refreshing. Fanfic based on "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword."
