Modern Merlin AU and Mergana fanfiction. 

When Camelot fell, only Merlin was left. He was alone and broken. Waiting on a prophecy that failed him. But Arthur has returned. Is Merlin really the same Merlin he left behind?

Freed by MaddyLib_21

*Sequel to Bound* If you have not read the previous story "Bound" go back and read it! This won't make much sense otherwise. But... I'll put a short summary to refresh your memory. *** Almost a year ago, Merlin and the knights were captured by the sorceress Edith. Due to her magic-controlling manacles, Merlin was imprisoned and forced to use magic under her control. Incidentally, Camelot's crew and Morgana crossed paths. Now, they are all back in Camelot. Merlin's free, Morgana is imprisoned but she is warning up to the idea of Camelot and those who live there. But what now? Have they really seen the end of Edith? What will it mean for the kingdom when Arthur is crowned king? Merlin, Arthur, Gwen and Morgana will face new struggles and come across new power. See how it all unfolds!

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.

Because You Are Beautiful [Para-noir pt 1] by SophieWarner1994

TW: Depression, Self Harm, Suicide, Abuse, PTSD, Rape, ED, Flashbacks, Borderline Personality Disorder My first Johnilyn fic. It's AU and as you can guess from the trigger warning maybe not suitable for everyone. It takes place in early 1984 - I changed Johnny's age, he is 17 and Brian 15 years old. The plot: Brian is hospitalised after attempting suicide. He meets Johnny in the closed ward. If you think you want to know what else my messed up brain came up with: Read it :) Btw English isn't my first language, so please dm any major mistakes. Thx in advance <3

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

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.))

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

a hellacious miracle by juliagubler

while dealing with a drug addiction, spencer reid decided to take his own life, as what he thought would be an escape from his pain. two years later, when on a case, the team thinks they've found their beloved boy genius, but he is far from the man they once knew. could a miracle have happened on that traumatic night? and if so, is it a miracle from heaven or a miracle from hell? ⚠️ TW: - death - suicidal thoughts and actions - self-harm - homicide - kidnapping and torture - drug use and addiction in general - this story is dark. so, if you're in a bad place with mental health or if any of the mentioned trigger warnings may affect you - please don't risk reading this story. the last thing i would want is my writing negatively affecting someone's mental health! and if nobody has told you yet today, i love and appreciate you and am so, so glad you are here <333 ALSO this story moves fast because i'm an impatient motherfucker (it's a semi-tolerable plot though... so enjoy bbys!)

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.

Something Old, Something New by SierraStyx

Merlin had long since given up that Arthur would return. He had moved on with his life, and was currently a detective in London. It was the year 2021, and Merlin was doing fine. He had friends. A best friend even, Iris, who was also his partner. He still missed Arthur, but he was no longer waiting for the prat's return. But when bodies start turning up with alarming similarities to things in Merlin's life, he dares to start hoping, that maybe, maybe it was time for Arthur's return. The background on the cover is not mine. I found it online and thought it looked cool so I added words on top of it. Also, Merlin belongs to bbc and the writers/creators of the show. Only the storyline and the OC's are mine.
