Merlin's Son: A Tale old as Time • Merthur
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.

The Curse of Anteros (a MERTHUR story) - Complete
[COMPLETE: 3/3✅] The indescript box held a withered heart and an inscription upon the lid, "Suffer, as I have suffered." Nothing seemed amiss, that is, until Arthur's feelings for Merlin suddenly changed. Could a curse bring love free of dispair? TW: angst, depression, suicideComplete
We'll Always Be The Last To Fall
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.Complete

After all the battles to miss, you chose the most important one of all!" He said, anger clear in his voice. Merlin sighed, bracing himself. Well, it was now or never...

For the Love of Camelot
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.

Goodbye Arthur
What happens to Merlin and Arthur's relationship after Arthur comes back to his room late at night to find Merlin worried sick about him? ***Currently rewriting to make better and update to my current standard. Chapters 1-3 updated
So we meet again... (a merthur au)
[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.Complete
When Your Love Wakes You
"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.

A Different Ending
Merlin casts the the most powerful spell in the history of magic to save Arthur. It leaves him in a slump suffering the side-effects. Merlin is plagued with nightmares, hallucinations, and more. Will they be able to help their friend Merlin? Or will Merlin hide the extent of his pain and drown as a result? This story is specifically for fans of the Merlin TV show. We pick up right at the last episode of the show however I made a few changes...This work is my own with the addition of a completely new story line that just continues that heart-felt and silly world from the show that we all love. This story is about love and the struggles that we must overcome in the name of it. A lot of Merthur, but I keep it pretty pg-13 so don't expect a lot of smut. I DON'T OWN ANY OF THESE CHARACTERS or pictures I found them on google so if you know the artists plz comment! This story does spoil the ending of the show so if you haven't seen it go watch it and the come back! Hope you enjoy!!Complete
