Hiding by imafrikinnerd

Arthur develops magical abilities in his early teenage years and learns to hide it in fear of his father. Merlin comes along and they both try to hide their magic from the other while simultaneously trying to figure out what the other is hiding from them. Of course, they both need to hide their abilities from Uther, which becomes harder and harder after Merlin is kidnapped by an evil sorceress. All while they struggle to understand their feelings for one another. Set in Season 1, sometime before The Beginning of the End, so he doesn't know he is Emrys yet, but Merlin has been Arthur's manservant for a while. (I don't own Merlin or the characters, just loved the show)

REGICIDE ➳ MERTHUR by merlinflowers

"How can I be sure you aren't lying to me?" "You can't." "Then why should I trust you?" "You shouldn't." "Why are you doing this, Merlin?" - Merlin takes the crown for himself, rather than wait for it to come upon Arthur. (AU based on the scenario from 2x1, but uses many elements of canon after that as well) (Merlin is NOT DARK in this story, though there are graphic depictions of violence and they should only be read if you are comfortable with them)

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?

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 Don't Belong Here by Junie_Bee_Jones

🛑DISCONTINUED🛑 Randomly sent back in time into a different universe, Y/n finds herself in a world of magic and knights and mythical creatures. Having no clue as to what is going on, other than the fact she knows what universe it is, she is stuck there with a new life until she can find a way back to her old universe. Hello! This is a Merlin x Reader. Not Merlin as in the person but Merlin as in the show itself. I thought it would be cool if I wrote a reader-insert-fic where I don't actually know what's coming next and I have to go with the flow. I have seen the first few episodes, I know the ships and I have seen edits on YT and Tiktok so I am familiar with the universe but I don't know the plot at all. Anyway, I thought this might be fun, let's see where this goes! Disclaimers: Mature rating for swearing and sex jokes (I'm notorious for them). I do not own Merlin, the story, or any of the characters, I do not own you either! The only thing that is mine is what Y/n does and how she is incorporated into the story.

Dark Merlin: The Man Called Emrys by Camelot101

What would you do if you were trapped inside your mind? That every time you slept, the beast came out to terrorize the people you loved. After escaping Morgana's never ending torture, a series of killings breaks out in Camelot. At first, the only victims are servants, but Uther's fear leads him to believe the attacks are magical and will soon result in the death of his son. Trying to hide his trauma, Merlin will stop at nothing to ensure the safety of Camelot, but as the killing continues, he will soon learn that he is behind them only he has no memory of ever attacking. Going by the name Emrys, Merlin's double half has teamed up with his lover Morgana, and as a war brews between the sorcerers and the Pendragon's, Emrys is working as an inside man under Merlin's cover, killing off anyone who stands in his way. As he fulfills his role with Morgana in seeking Camelot's destruction, his destiny edges closer, and the prophecy of him being Prince Arthur's bane is nigh. After the death of Uther and his son, Emrys and Morgana will be able to claim the throne for themselves and welcome in a new era. One where magic is welcomed. After discovering he has a dark half, Merlin sets out to find a way to stop the upcoming war and free himself from his inner monster, but the way doesn't seem easy. With the help of a letter from his father, he must learn to overcome Emrys before Emrys takes full control.

Cadagorien And Its Lost Prince (Prince Merlin AU) by bees_in_my_head

My name is Prince Merlin Aragon Ambrosius, and I hate being a prince, so much that I ran away from home, to live in Camelot, a place where my kind are hated. I disguise myself as a mere peasant and move in with my beloved uncle, Gaius, the court physician. Hiding my secret, of my heritage and my gifts has never been more difficult, especially when I have to hide it from a clotpole of a Prince - Arthur. I have to save him everyday from all kinds of situations, but when I finally reveal my secret, whilst saving him, what will happen? Especially when my own knights from Cadagorien practically appear on my doorstep. It is time to return home, but what will I succeed in saving my people? Or will I fall? ((Okay I have decided that there will be a bit of Merthur slipped in here and there, so if you don't like it, don't read it.))

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.

It Comes the Dawn (Merlin Fanfiction) by ladyofthecelts

After every dusk and the darkest hour it always comes the dawn. ~ What if Merlin managed to take Arthur to Avalon? What if Arthur lived? Will they build a fair and just kingdom they dreamt of? Story begins from the moment when Merlin reveals his secret to Arthur. First and second chapter are quite similar to the events from the last episode of season 5, also, I added some changes, so don't get discouraged! 😃 I used it as an introduction to the story. PS: I don't own "Merlin" and characters from the series. _____ Top ranks: #1 in arthurianlegends #1 in knightsoftheroundtable #1 in aithusa #1 in knightsofcamelot #2 in gwaine

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!
