lol ur not arthur pendragon by amaltaas

T | 11,818 | Modern AU | Summary: Sunlight hits just right on the golden bangs falling into blue eyes. His lips have that smug quirk Merlin so hates. In a low voice, he asks, “Does that mean you’ll date exclusively me?”

That snaps Merlin right out of it. “What?”

Arthur nods to his shirt, making him look down.

And printed there, in big, black letters is, ‘lol ur not arthur pendragon’.

“Oh my god.” Merlin stares at the text in horror. This is a nightmare, a disaster, a fucking catastrophe. Absolute worst thing to happen to him in his entire life. Pendragon must think Merlin is some obsessed megafan, interested in him.

Side note: Gwaine Orkney is a dead, dead man.

Tied with a Bow by FreyaofAvalon

T | 11,777 | Canon AU | Summary: On the twenty-first birthday of the younger, every pair of soulmates will wake up with a red ribbon tying them to each other, regardless of distance. Soulmate Ribbons change length as necessary, and are impervious to time and mortal weapons. They can be seen by everyone, but are only felt by the wearers.

How (Not) to be a YouTuber: A Comprehensive Guide by Idiots by Imagined, Scarlet_Ribbons

T | 7,881 | Modern AU | Summary: Arthur has a gaming channel. Merlin has a gardening channel. The only thing they have in common, it seems, is the fact they're both successful YouTubers, and that their followers want them to do a collab in spite of how different their content is.

Or: In which Arthur and Merlin flirt (despite Merlin’s mysterious fiancée), Morgana dishes out the hottest gossip, Gwaine keeps trying to fight the entire internet, and their fans are maybe just a little too overbearing.

WARNING: Major Character Death

Summary:

Arthur and Merlin are two souls cursed by the gods and—like two sides of a turning coin—can only exist together when cast into turmoil.

Reader’s Comments: Honestly one of the most incredible fics I've ever read. I think about the prose alone every gd day and every moment is so incredibly poignant, you feel like you're balancing on a knife's edge. The angst, the tenderness, the characterization, the symbolism, everything is just perfectly crafted and I just need more people to know about this fic!!

Summary: 

Every time Merlin has ever dated someone, they have inevitably found their true love and dumped him. Now Morgana wants him to use his 'superpower' to save her brother from a lifetime of misery. Merlin, foolishly, agrees.

Reader’s Comments: Fake dating AU with a twist! Soulmate Wizard™ Merlin plays along 'cause Arthur's hot and actually nice or something 🙄 Usually I feel bittersweet throughout these AUs, but this fic was just so sweet and heartwarming I couldn't put it down! Their banter was fun to read and the pining, oh, the pining. It's from Merlin's POV, so you really treasure every glimpse into Arthur's heart spilled out in his words and actions.

He's so down bad. Who am I referring to? Yes.

St Ninian's Island by rotrude

E | 10,096 | Modern AU | Summary: The coastal North can be harsh in winter, unfriendly. Obtaining passage to a remote island can prove quite challenging, the more so if you're a Southener eschewing traditional means of transport. That's what Arthur Pendragon learns when he asks boat captain Merlin Emrys to take him to St Ninian's. That's how it starts; one man with his secrets, another with only a berth in Lochranza to his name. That's not how it ends.

watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you by high_queen

M | 1,901 | Canon | Summary: Arthur knows Merlin has a secret, but he doesn't know what it is.

***

Merlin’s expression changes. It’s like stepping into water expecting it to be a puddle and ending up in the ocean. Arthur suddenly can’t breathe. Because Merlin’s looking at him the same way he looked at Agravaine. As though they are on opposite sides of a chess board, and capturing the king ends in death.

A Warlock's Wish by vividpast (WIP)

T | 217,826 | Canon AU | Gen Fic, Pre-Slash | Summary: In the midst of capturing a magical creature, Merlin is transported to a world where Camelot is home to thousands of magic-users. King Uther is nowhere to be found, Arthur is a prince again, and Queen Ygraine sits on the throne.

Merlin plans to get back to his own reality, to his own Camelot. To do that, however, he must have access to information that is inside a shielded castle protected by powerful sorcerers. The only way in is to participate in the Apprentice Exam and be an apprentice to a magic-user included in Camelot's court. Should be easy . . . right?

Conspiracies are afoot and Merlin just knows that, somehow, he is or will be involved. Just his luck.
