Summary
Merlin has waited beside the lake for over 1,500 years, and when he finally gets a visitor, it's not Arthur Pendragon--but an eccentric English man who arrives in a blue telephone box, calls himself the Doctor, and claims that not only is time travel real, but it's absolutely imperative that Merlin go back in time with him--back to the age of Camelot where Prince Arthur is very much alive.

Summary
“I wouldn’t touch the Major Arcana.” Arthur startled, nearly dropping the cards. He whirled around to the voice. “They get twitchy.”
An ornamental crystal ball fell onto the floor behind him, shattering into millions of tiny pieces.
Behind him was a man, probably near Arthur’s age. He registered the wide, bright eyes, pale skin, and dark hair. Arthur hadn’t heard him approach. Where did he come from?
“The—” Arthur’s eyes jumped back to the magician card, “Major Arcana?”
That sounded sort of... magicky
“Yes, yes, they get so full of themselves.” The man’s lips twitched, and Arthur was inexplicably drawn to the hint of his grin.
Or, a lot can happen when you take cover under a random shop's awning. Mostly, Arthur just wants to figure out why 'The Magician' card is always his future.

Summary
Arthur asks Merlin to learn magic to see if it can be trusted in defeating Morgana.
"We want to ask someone to learn magic to see if it can be used without corrupting the soul of the person who uses it. Lancelot suggested you be the person we ask."
Merlin's lips parted a fraction, "He did?"
"Indeed. Something about your heart being pure." Arthur brushed the compliment off with a wave of his hand and straightened in his seat, "I know you're scared of magic so you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to but-"
"I'll do it."Now complete with added prologue and epilogue!

Summary
In the modern city of Camelot, the magical criminal Emrys’s calling card is found near the body of a murder victim. Merlin Wyllt, the man behind Emrys, has made a point of never hurting anyone during his criminal activities and is determined to find the real culprit and clear his alter ego’s name.
Opportunity falls into his lap when police detective Arthur Pendragon attempts to recruit him as a special expert on Camelot’s Magicside for the investigation. Apparently, Arthur also believes Emrys is being framed.
Of course, there is the issue that Arthur's father is the reason Merlin's father is in prison, falsely accused of murder.
And that Arthur is a prat, if a ridiculously handsome one.
But working with him seems a small price to pay for access to any information the police might have on the case. And Merlin knows Arthur is different from his father.
As the two men work together, they find themselves falling for each other. But can that work out, considering all that stands between them? And can they find the murderer before they kill again?

Summary

Tout, sauf Merlin.
Témoin de la seconde mariée, artiste chaotique et adepte des pulls épouvantables, Merlin est le pire cauchemar logistique d'Arthur. Forcés de collaborer, ils s'affrontent sur chaque détail, des plans de table à la couleur des fleurs. Mais entre une crevaison sous la pluie, une inondation catastrophique et des nuits blanches à reconstruire une Orangerie en ruines, le tableau de bord parfait d'Arthur commence à vaciller.Et s'il s'avérait que le plus grand désastre de sa vie était exactement ce dont il avait besoin pour enfin réapprendre à respirer ?

Summary
'Merlin?' he began, casting a frown in his manservant's direction. 'Why is your druid name on this shrine?'
'I don't have a druid name. It's just the name the druids call me.' Merlin scowled, no doubt hearing how foolish he sounded. His ears were red – embarrassed, not angry, if Arthur had to guess – and there was a faintly mulish slant to his expression.
'That's nice of them to pray for you,' Gwaine said cheerfully, taking the rock from Arthur's grasp. 'Asking the gods to give you patience to help you deal with the Princess here, no doubt.' He elbowed Arthur in the ribs, grinning as he scowled in response.
When riding out to warn a druid camp of an imminent attack from Uther, Arthur and his knights discover that Merlin is far more than just a sorcerer. Does he have the strength to save one of the Old Gods, or will he perish in the effort?

Summary
Detective Arthur Pendragon doesn’t believe in ghosts – until one starts following him home. A routine investigation at a druid burial site leaves him accidentally engaged to Merlin, a very annoyed, very dead activist with unfinished business. Now, Arthur has two choices: ignore the bond and ensuing bad luck, or get very comfortable being haunted by his sarcastic, spectral fiancé.
(Murder investigations. Unwanted soul bonds. Questionable supernatural bureaucracy. Arthur’s having a terrible few weeks and Merlin is loving it.)

My answer to Tumblr's @merthurmicrofic prompt: Family (Or at least that's how it started off. I'll have to somehow shorten it to fill that prompt.)
I've lost sight of the meaning of "microfic"Merlin, Arthur and his Knights are en route to speak with a Magic encampment, when they're ambushed.
The battle is bloody, and they're going to lose.
Then Merlin does what Merlin does. And Arthur must decide what to do about that.

Summary
Jobbing actor Merlin is despairing of ever getting his big break. With the acting world seemingly set against him, he takes a job as far away from London's glitzy theatreland as he can think of – at a down-at-heel castle in the far north of Scotland. There, he encounters a gruff, kilt-wearing shepherd with sturdy knees and the sort of Viking beard that Merlin would just love to bury his face in. After a rocky start, friendship blooms - and perhaps the potential for something more. But both men are hiding secrets that could blow the whole thing wide open.
In which BBC Merlin's characters get the Hallmark movie treatment. In Scotland. Because Arthur obviously needs to wear a kilt and strut around the highlands looking pretty.

Summary
'Merlin’s world had been greyscale for his entire life. Everyone started out that way, until you met your soulmate and the colours around you materialised and you were supposed to live happily ever after, or so everyone said. Except Merlin, who saw hundreds of new people every show and had been all around the world on tours, was still yet to find the person that would turn his world bright.'
Merlin, singer and violinist of Ambrosia, has been looking for his soulmate for years. He's sick of the greys that make up his world. With his band on tour and Camelot up next, maybe his colours are closer than he thinks.
This is Prismatic from Merlin's point of view, they can be read together or alone.

Oh, and Merthur, of course. -

Muscles jump in Balinor’s clenched jaw.
“I knew you wanted him,” he says. “You could never be satisfied with just your own son.”
“I need a loyal dragonlord,” Uther explains to him. “And we both know that it won’t be you.”
“You vile man,” Balinor says. “You used my love. You used my son.”
“And I would do it again. Do we have a deal?”
(Uther, desperately lonely after sending Arthur away to become a knight, manipulates Balinor into giving him Merlin to keep as his pet dragonlord. Balinor, furious at having been tricked a second time, joins a rising resistance to Uther's rule. When Arthur comes home, he falls in love with his father’s strange ward and in doing so unwittingly ignites a war.)

Summary
Have you ever wondered what you would do if you could talk to a medieval person? What concepts or things would blow their minds? Well, Merlin used to *be* a medieval person, and now that he's back in the past to fix his mistakes, why not answer that question for everyone.
Follow Merlin and he says, does, and has things that are normal to us, but batshit crazy to anyone from the fifth century.
(DM me on Tumblr if you have hcs of modern things Merlin would like that you want to see written about)
