WOOT WOOT FIRST GAY FANFIC.
First of all this is between two characters from the show Merlin. I do not own any characters from the show. Now the AU idea was inspired by something I found on Tumblr. Present-Day Merlin gets a little drunk and ends up in bed with Arthur, who is also drunk and happens to be the son of Uther Pendragon (major rich dude). So this is quite awkward for both Merlin and Arthur, but it's even more awkward when Merlin finds out he's going to be working with Gaius at the palace.
Kind of a crap description, but hey, I do my best. Just read and see if you like it.

I miss me
They try to run but there's no time. We try to hide but there's No TIME. when I was a kid, I tried to learn all I could but now I wish I could lose it all. <TW: As I lay here choking on my blood I stare at the heavens and ask for one last ray to see me off. As the rain washes my blood along the earth, being soaked in by the hungry land. That day something was different, something changed in me. A new light shines deep within me, my torso once in two now slowly becoming one as black tar slowly stitched me back together. The greedy land soaks up my blood, now not a drop lies in my body but the gods are ready as the earth slowly starts to reach for me taking me to its restless lands replacing my blood with tar. ^ This fic is a combination of a BBC's Merlin set in the future/ current times but it's more of an Adjacent timeline to ours, OC insert, and a bit of Arthurian myth set in the modern day. This is my first story so sorry if it's bad Even though it's an OC insert it can be read as a self-insert. OC's name is pronounced as Z-AYAH (Zaya) TW -bad writing - gore - gay? - no real sense of time - I'm a big fan of angst - I ship Lancelot x Gawain as well as Merlin x Arthur. And may add it to the book. - no publishing schedule

It's not Betrayal
"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!Complete
I Don't Belong Here
🛑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.

Merlin & Arthur
"So, what prince do you fancy?" "Where are you getting these ridiculous accusations? I only fancy this prat, his name is Merlin." "Oh, really?" "Really." "I fancy you too, Arthur." Merlin laid his head against Arthur's chest, listening to the slow breathing, and feeling Arthur run his fingers through his hair. *This story was for fun only, I was bored and wanted to write something. Feel free to leave comments and suggestions!* ACK IF YOU DON'T LIKE SMUT, SKIP CHAPTER 12Complete

Something that can't happen between them, not with Uther as king. Will their love be more powerful than the fear they feel? "We look each other in the eyes. I could drown in his blue eyes. I'm getting closer. My heart is racing. I feel warm. My eyes drops to his lips. I need to kiss him. I feel my stomach upside down. He's coming closer too. We're two inches distant. Slowly I place my lips on his. They're really soft and warm. We kiss. It's a gentle kiss. Our lips are synchronized. I grab his face with my hands, bringing him nearer. We keep kissing and when we move away a thought hits me. This can't happen. If my father finds it out, he will kill him. I don't want to hurt Merlin." Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin, it belongs to the BBC.Complete
A Different Destiny / Merthur
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)Complete
Merlin's Son: A Tale old as Time • Merthur

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.
