kinkme_merlin: Nice Guys (Don't Always) Finish Last [13/?]
Gwen, Merlin and Morgana are good friends - have been since they were young. They fall into the world of dating together, and while Morgana tends to pick really peachy significant others (Leon? Owain? Freya, even?), Gwen and Merlin have something in common: they like bad boys/girls. Whether they be the suave, manipulative and charming type or the rugged, leather-wearing dangerous type, Merlin and Gwen are all about the baddies. As an experiment, Morgana decides to set them both up with 'nice' dates. Enter Arthur, Morgana's step-brother. ~1765 words
kinkme_merlin: The Beginning (5-6/?)
Arthur/Merlin. Many wonderful Merlin fandom authors have written great stories about Merlin and Arthur being reincarnated and finding each other, again and again, bound to each other by destiny. What I would love to see is a fic where the canon universe is not actually the first lifetime they've shared, but simply the one that is remembered most by history. ~1446 words
meggie-ruth: 3x10 & 3x12 Icons
naihtmae: Itâs hard to wake up when youâre not sleeping - [R]
In which Arthur wakes up disoriented multiple times, feeling more and more disoriented each time; old men are annoyingly cryptic; Merlin is powerful and gets hurt; fate is cruel to Morgana; and not very well researched mythological allusions lurk behind every corner, ready to attack you aggressively (good luck with that). Arthur's POV. ~7000 words
cassie-black12: All Things Are Ours - [PG13]
Wherein Arthur gets a new job, Morgana speaks Welsh, and Gwen introduces Merlin to the finer points of Facebook stalking! ~24,436 words
castros: Icons
arineat: Deny Thy Father - [R]
When Arthur refuses to marry the woman his father has picked out for him, he loses everything; job, his status and the only life he's ever known. With the help of his estranged step-sister and a few odd new friends, will Arthur be able to stand on his own two feet and finally find what he never thought he could have? ~26,624 words
pepperlandgirl4: (No One Has Found) How to Unring the Bell - [NC17]
Goes AU from the beginning of The Witchfinder. When Aredian tells Uther that Arthurâs manservant has magic, Uther becomes obsessed with harnessing the boyâs power to begin the Purge again. Once Aredian has Merlin under control, Uther chooses a small Druid settlement to test Merlinâs ability and Arthurâs loyalty. ~22,700 words
renrenren3: How To Woo Your Manservant - [PG13]
When Arthur finally realizes he's hopelessly in love with Merlin, he has no idea how one is supposed to court his manservant but this won't stop him from trying. Repeatedly. Insistently. With flowers, chicken and destiny if he has to. ~15,114 words
marguerite-26: With This Ring - [NC17]
After being enchanted, Uther forces Arthur and Merlin to marry. ~10,000 words
onceandfutures: Weekly recs!
gnimaerd: Slytherins Can't Be Friends With Hufflepuffs and Other Myths - [PG]
Hogwarts!AU; originally written for a merlin_ficart challenge - Merlin and Morgana are seekers on rival quidditch teams. Hijinks and felix felicis elixer ensue. ~2738 words
likeaglass: mets ton doigt (dans mon cul) - [NC17]
Bradley's obsessed with Colin's fingers. ~4396 words
slowdead: A blind eye only sees a memory - [R]
My take on the fanfic classic: Amnesia fic! ~15,000 words
lunadeath02: Merlin Rewritten (5/?) - [R]
The BBC got it wrong; this is how it really happened. ~3698 words
night-lyx: Heartquake (3/?) - [PG13]
written for this prompt at the kinkme_merlin, in which Merlin has a kid he told no one about (it just never came up, honest) but now has to make adjustments with his life now that his daughter, Emeline, is in his full-time care. ~3320 words
vampiric-mcd: Blind Trust - [PG]
No friend should be patiently waiting for the double agenda to be revealed. ~500 words
angelqueen04: Run of Three - [PG]
Gwen, Arthur, and Merlin are in a relationship instead of just Arthur and Gwen, although Merlin's part in the relationship still remains a secret from Uther and Morgana. Arthur and Gwen both know about Merlin's magic, but Gwen just recently found out about Morgana's magic and Arthur still doesn't know. Merlin, of course, has known all along but didn't tell them, thinking that they wouldn't believe him because they care so much for Morgana. I'd love to see Merlin sneak Arthur into the dungeons despite Arthur being watched. Gwen confides her suspicions about Morgana in both of them, and Merlin, being unable to lie credibly at the moment, finally admits that this isn't a surprise to him... ~3900 words
kinkme_merlin: Easier to surpress (7-8/?)
Arthur/Merlin. AU, modern day. Merlin is a patient in a mental hospital/facility. He believes he has magic. Arthur is an employee there (doctor, janitor, security guard?) who finds him fascinating, attractive, confusing. Bonus for Arthur getting Merlin out of some sort of bad situation (bullying, unwanted advances, non-con). ~821 words
vexena-sky: 27 Lancelot icons
sgmajorshipper: 20 Arthur/Gwen icons
angelqueen04: 45 Merlin Icons [SPOILERS]
olivia-j: Look Through My Window - [R]
Morgana dreams of Gwen. ~548 words
kinkme_merlin: Nobody knows why birds sit on wire (1-2/?)
Arthur/Lancelot, Arthur/Merlin, confusion over sexuality. Modern day. Girl!Arthur is the most popular girl in school and happily dating sexy Lancelot. Girl!Merlin arrives at their school. She's a 'bad girl' and a proud lesbian. Prim and proper Arthur suddenly finds herself thinking about Girl!Merlin instead of Lancelot during sex but is freaked out by her feelings. Merlin quickly figures out that Arthur is attracted to her but is in denial so sets out on a mission to seduce her. She eventually succeeds and hot girl sex ensues. Bonus for cocky!Merlin who is very sexually confident and uses lots of dirty talk to entice confusedbuthorny!Arthur. ~900 words
eurydice72: A Winning Arrangement - [NC17]
Written for the kinkme_merlin prompt: Arthur/Merlin, Merlin admires Arthur's low-hangers whenever he undresses and wishes he could feel their weight in his hand. ~1342 words
rainbow-connec: Shooting Lessons - [PG]
The King and Queen play with dangerous toys. ~383 words
[imediamonkey.com] Harry Melling talks Merlin and Harry Potter!
kinkme_merlin: Accidentally On Purpose
Arthur/Merlin. Merlin catches Arthur jerking off with one of his scarves. ~363 words
kinkme_merlin: Homesick
RPF, Bradley/Colin, hurt/comfort. I'd love to see one seeing the other through a non-life threatening illness. Mopping sweaty brows, bathing feverish skin, making tea and chicken soup, wrapping in warm blankets, cuddling, etc. I'll leave it up to the author to decide who is the patient and who is the caregiver. ~2172 words
kinkme_merlin: It's a Little Bit Funny (This Feeling Inside) [14a/?] - [PG13]
RPF, Bradley/Colin. The producers/writers/people in charge finally notice that Arthur and Gwen don't have as much chemistry as they should. (bless them both, though â¥) Someone decides that since Bradley and Colin have fantastic chemistry, the solution is to put Colin across from Bradley in each scene and film Gwen's part separately and put them together later. Optional: something goes wrong in post-production and someone forgets to put Angel's part in instead of Colin's and it airs. ~733 Words
kinkme_merlin: Hurricane Drunk (4/?)
Arthur/Gwen. Arthur/Merlin. Merlin/Other. Girl!Merlin (no boy!Merlin please). Jealous!Arthur. Canon. Angst. Romance. Merlin comes to Camelot one year after Arthur has married Gwen. When Arthur meets her he gradually falls in love with Merlin. But things are quite complicated. Would love to see a happy ending for A/M. ~1318 words
kinkme_merlin: Untitled (2/?)
Arthur/Merlin, Merlin dies. Alternatively, Arthur is so stricken with grief that he goes on a mad quest looking for a sorcerer to bring Merlin back to life. When it finally happens, Merlin is horrified because it's truly impossible to just bring someone back to life like that and he's fairly certain he's some kind of half-dead abomination. Arthur doesn't care. Bonus points: This is how Merlin lives forever waiting for the Once and Future King! ~1290 words
kinkme_merlin: I Can See For Miles and Miles (5/?)
Arthur/Merlin: so the boys get captured, maybe by morgause it's up to you, and the villian is actually more after Merlin. While Merlin is tied up (maybe tortured) the villian and Merlin have a talk where Merlin over time reveals everything (Freya, Morgana, the dragon etc). what he doesn't know is that Arthur is in the cell next to him and can hear everything. happy ending is <3. ~507 words
