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.All Rights Reserved

The Night We Met- Modern Merthur (Arthur returns) by I_Always_Need_Magic

The stars danced in the sky, glistening and twinkling in the shape of a sword. All the magic in the world seemed to celebrate the return of something, or someone. A dark-haired boy stuck his head out of the window of his house to study the peculiar constellation. The sword in the stone; Excalibur. It was a sign, a sign saying the once and future king was back. King Arthur had returned. BBC Merlin fanfic 1,500 after the events of season 5. TW: Suicide and self-harm. Please don't read if it makes you uncomfortable.

Emrys, My Hero (Merlin x Mordred) by xkittxkattx

Merlin's life has become somewhat routine over the years, helping Arthur with his chores and naturally saving him from the dangers all around. So what will happen when Merlin discovers that Morgana had the King killed? What will he do? How will he handle things becoming more complicated when him and the newly King Arthur find Mordred in the woods with a band of smugglers? This is set before Morgana goes rouge, I've change some information and it will not be 100% cannon to the story line of the show. All rights go to BBC I do not own Merlin or any of the characters in this story.

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.

For the Love of Camelot by ekmkitty

TW: Attempted suicide ! CAUTION: MAY CONTAIN SERIOUS FEELS ! This is a Merthur fanfic. For those who don't ship, don't read. Out of the corner of his eye, the warlock saw a dark figure approaching his King, sword drawn. Arthur's Bane. But Merlin could not release his attention from the powerful magic that he was wreaking on Morgana's army, and could only watch hopelessly as the man he loved and the druid boy fell. DISCLAIMER: I do not own Merlin, its characters, or some of the dialogue used in the first several chapters, however the writing is all mine. Merlin is property of BBC, and no copyright violations are intended.

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.))

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. Maybe being without a true destiny has its perks. Tagged for language and descriptions of dark subject matter that readers may find disturbing. You have been warned.
