For so many years Merlin had stood standing guard over an empty lake - a resolute soldier with one last duty left to perform. Wars waged around him, and still he waited. When people asked him, when even Alaric dared question, the answer they got was always the same. 

"How can I do anything but wait?"

"Who are you waiting for, though?"

He would smile faintly. "A prat."


I refuse to be judged on this. I wrote it when I was about 13, okay?

The Aftermath (Merlin) by whothis123

*Sequel Out now* Kilgharrah may have told Merlin that nothing he could do would save the Once and Future King, but that doesn't mean he was right. The warlock takes things into his own hands when he revives Arthur at Avalon, but there are consequences for breaking a destiny written before the time of men. Set just after season 5, Arthur slowly comes to grip with his friends' magic as they return back to Camelot, victorious from the battle of Camlan. Merlin tries his best to face his demons alone, but sometimes the constant pain, scars and tournament is not that easily overcome. The warlock faces his biggest trial yet... himself.

Thousand years by sosifellontomyhead

It's been nearly 1500 years since Arthur Pendragon died in the battle of Camlann. 1500 years went by since Merlin lost the most important person in his life at the shores of the Lake of Avalon. Being the loyal manservant he is, he's been waiting for all this time for his king to rise, never without a doubt that it would happen. But even Merlin's patience is reaching its limits. Will this be finally enough for the Once and future King to awake from his sleep? Or will he find an empty place without Merlin...? !I do not own the characters! (In the story there will be my OCs as well, but you'll see:) ) Hope you enjoy! And don't forget! We, Merlin fans are immortal!⚔️🛡✨️

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.

When Your Love Wakes You by fandomaccount01

"Only the person Merlin loves most can wake him." The girl took on the air of someone who held the upper hand over their adversaries. "Only a kiss from the person he desires most can break the curse." "Why?" Mordred questioned, "Why lay such a curse on him and offer the chance of a cure?" But Arthur knew the answer even as she said it. "Merlin desires no one. It isn't within his capability to." Takes place after 5 x 6, The Dark Tower and we pretend that Elyan never died Loads of angst with a happy ending.

The Once and Future King by MaddyLib_21

Hello! This is my Merlin fanfiction. Since I know I will never get over how Merlin ended, I made this in modern times to describe how Arthur comes back. I do not own any of these characters. I may write a sequel to this story in the future. This story starts out with Merlin and tells a bit about his life since Arthur died. Until one day he sees Arthur running along the path. Merlin talks with Arthur and shortly figures out that he has no idea who Merlin is. Merlin must make Arthur remember and find out why Arthur has returned while restoring the friendship that they once had.

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. #1 in Pendragon 22/05/21 #1 in merlinbbc - 3/05/21 #1 in Camelot - 27/03/21 #1 in Merthur 23/12/20 #1 in Merlin 7/01/21 #1 in merlinxarthur 29/12/20 #1 in onceandfutureking - 1/10/20 #1 in Morgana - 2/01/21 #1 in Merlinfanfic 7/10/20 #1 in couldbegayer 8/11/20

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)

His Secret by ScarlettLion27

It had been five years since Balinor had died and three since Arthur had become king. Life in Camelot was surprisingly peaceful until Merlin noticed changes in his appearance. Knowing something was wrong when his magic refused to work or the spells were weaker/stronger than they should have been. When he found out from Kilgharrah what was happening to him he knew he had to leave Camelot until he regained control. He knew he had to find Vivianna to help him achieve his goal. He had been told that this trip might take him several months, but he had no choice if he didn't want to accidentally hurt someone he cared about. Together with Gaius's help, he came up with a suitable excuse for why he wasn't there. However, he didn't expect that his sudden disappearance would have such an impact on his friends because he didn't consider himself important. How do his friends react to his transformation and when they learn the reason why? Hi, I decided to make a short story based on Merlin. although I do have One Shots about it English is not my first language so I apologize for any possible mistakes. The characters, photos and music do not belong to me, but my OC and the plot of the events
