Merlin Fanfic Masterlist
Finally put together my masterlist so I can find things later! All my stories are hardcore merthur and feature lots of protective Arthur or Merlin or both, silly banter, and too many magic reveals haha. All links lead to AO3!
When I Didn't Know the Answer, I Found It In Your Eyes, 36.6k- Arthur travels back in time to season 2 now knowing that to save everyone he loves, he needs to bring magic back to Camelot. The catch? For everything he changes, he forgets that part of the original timeline
If I Couldn't Run To You, I'd Crawl, 24.1k- If you love protective Arthur, this is the fic for you, aka the 5 +1 where Arthur protects Merlin over and over and the 1 where he realizes Merlin's been protecting him all this time too
You Before Me, 11.7k- merthur get kidnapped featuring a magic reveal and Merlin's crippling self esteem issues and Arthur trying his best to make Merlin value himself as much as Arthur does
i know why the birds sing your name, 113k- Uther banishes Arthur post Ygraine reveal and he and Merlin go on an adventure across Camelot picking up a ragtag group of misfits and learning what it really means to be the Once and Future King. My take on the leaving to live in a cottage far away concept.
Behind the Dam, 27.3k- A Morgana, Arthur, Merlin, and Gwen redemption and forgiveness fic ft. Arthur imprisoning Agravaine, complex sibling relationships, and insane merthur devotion
Close Your Eyes (it'll all be over soon), 24k- TW: Childhood SA by an OC. Arthur's childhood abuser comes back in his adulthood and he doesn't know how to cope or how to overcome the shame that was never his to bear. Ft. supportive and protective Merlin and an Arthur who will break your heart
Give Me Your Fear, I'll Give You My Faith, 15.5k- A classic Merlin is hit with a spell meant for Arthur fic where he loses his senses one by one as Arthur races against the clock to get him to the Druids in time to save him. Hella fluffy when you look past the angst of the concept
Folklore, 6k- We all know Arthur and Merlin wanted to kiss in the tunnels in the season 4 finale. Soooo, what if they did? Ft. magic reveal and the kind of love legends are written about
The Echo of You, 10k- Imposter!Arthur fic where no one believes Merlin when he says that's not the Arthur they know, so it's up to him to bring the real Arthur back, no matter what the cost
Destiny Ordered You To Die, But I Willed You To Live, 17.2k- Arthur overhears Merlin's heroics- and treason- during the Cornelius Sigan episode. Ft the OT4 dream team and a lot of merthur. Also incidentally, my first ever fic in the fandom!
Agate, 24k- My contribution to the Merlin Reverse Big Bang! In which Emrys is a powerful recluse who hates humanity and Arthur is a newly crowned King who needs the help of a powerful sorcerer. An AU with lots of feels, adventure and all the love there is
