The Prince's Healer by ahewett96

"Your destiny is not defined by how much power you have. You and Merlin have different paths. Merlin's is to protect Arthur's body and make sure he lives long enough to become King, while your destiny is to protect his heart and make him into the great king he is meant to be. Your destiny is to become the Once and Future Queen of Albion and rule by Arthur's side."

Shadows of the Witch by StrongerThanILook

{BOOK THREE IN THE TALES OF ALBION SERIES] The fragile trust between Arthur and Merilyn is no longer a secret hope-it is real, tangible, and dangerously alive. For the first time, Arthur sees magic not as a weapon, but as part of the woman he loves. Their bond deepens, even as the shadow of destiny presses closer. But love does not erase the weight of prophecy, nor the enemies waiting to tear them apart. Yet the greatest revelation lies not in vengeance, but in blood. Merilyn's long-buried secret-her son-emerges into the light. His existence changes everything: for Merilyn, for Arthur, and for the destiny of Camelot itself. Whispers of the boy ripple through the Old Religion, binding his fate to the same prophecy that foretells Arthur's rise and Merilyn's sacrifice. Allies will question her loyalty. Enemies will seek to use him. And Arthur must decide if love can survive the truth that destiny has hidden from them both.

A Different Destiny / Merthur by Kat_Winters

A Merthur fic set in canon era. After two years of putting up with his useless excuse for a manservant, Arthur begins to suspect that there may be more to Merlin than meets the eye. But Merlin's not the only one with a secret. And maybe destinies aren't always as they seem. AU where I use elements of all five seasons in a way that does not always comply with canon. WARNING: Contains: (some) violence, mentions of blood, and a lot of gayness (duh)

So we meet again... (a merthur au) by deathbyinsomnia

[COMPLETE: 25/25✅] Do you ever feel such a deep connection to a complete stranger that you feel as though you know them from somewhere else, from a long time ago? Without the memories of when he was called "The Once and Future King", Arthur-the-office-worker felt without purpose until a boy named Emrys walked into his life, and he would never be the same.

TWO PRINCES - Merthur by bee-fallen

"It would be almost surprising, how swiftly Arthur betrays Merlin, if not for the fact that it is entirely in character for the prince to do whatever he can to torture the sorcerer at any given opportunity, "apologies, Prince Claudin," Arthur says, a devilish smile spreading across his face that causes Merlin to gulp, audibly, "my manservant here was just offering his professional services while you are visiting." Merlin almost drops the scrolls he is almost entirely convinced Arthur made him carry to be a nuisance, rather than because they were needed for any specific part of the introductions, but he manages to catch them all at the last second." //Set in season 4 sometime after Uther's death but before Arthur's coronation.//
