 八百年后梅林惊恐地发现亚瑟的面孔在慢慢模糊，岁月的冲刷让他无法记得所有细节，但当他用魔法让那些火星升起重现出亚瑟的样子时，他发现自己其实一点都没忘，亚瑟对于他已经是融在呼吸里融在血液奔流里，是本能，不需要去“记得”，更加无从谈起“遗忘”…他笑着笑着，突然就流泪了。

Arthur,I miss you.

Happy Endings - Merlin Fic Recs

This should have gone out yesterday but I’m naughty and late for everything! For Fanfic Writer’s Appreciation Day, I present the following recs (happy endings guaranteed). 

Writers, you rock my world and I love you all so much, never change!

Sliding Doors by Candymacaron

All it takes is catching the train on time for Arthur Pendragon’s comfortable life to be stripped from him. Can Merlin Emrys, the strange man who keeps sliding in and out of Arthur’s world, teach him to live and love again?

No need to have seen this film, this perfect movie mash up follows a newly single Arthur on a quest to get over his cheating ex with the offbeat, lovely Merlin. And Gwen is amazing in this!

Chivalry and the Modern Alpha (The Elemental Love Remix) by Clea2011

Arthur Pendragon was a hopeless romantic. But he was the Prince of Wales, and his father was determined he would take an omega from a suitable noble household. Threatened with an arranged marriage, Arthur ran off in search of his destiny. But maybe his destiny would find him instead.

Such a funny, warm, sweet a/b/o fic with gorgeous characterisation and excellent sex scenes too! 

Love For Sale by lamardeuse

Somewhere in the back of Arthur’s brain, a voice was screaming about a distinct flaw in his logic, but that didn’t stop him from yanking the door open and saying to a startled-looking Merlin:

“Buy me.”

AKA the bachelor auction AU nobody asked for.

So funny and clever and cute! Also with Tory bashing, which personally hits my kinks, idk about you.

Note to Idiot by tinylilremus

Arthur and Merlin are members of the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad who work different shifts and share the same office. Arthur, who works the day shift, can’t stand the rain. Merlin, who works the night shift, can’t concentrate without it.

A perfect Harry Potter au, wonderfully told through notes left by the initially irritated and gradually charmed rivals.

friends don’t love me like you do by skyreid

merlin is an asexual who falls in love easily and gwaine is a pansexual who’s only been in love once. it shouldn’t work, but somehow, it does.

Lyrical, emotionally complex, and ultimately so redemptive - this is an amazing longer read for when you need to immerse yourself in a perfectly constructed relationship story, warts and all.

Complement (Two Halves of a Whole) by greymantledlady

Merlin dashes fiercely at the tears that have started to trickle down his face, and waits. Because if Arthur wants to take him back to Camelot as a prisoner, to a cold cell and death in the grey morning – if that is what Arthur wants, Merlin will let him, because he can’t deny Arthur anything.

The writing here is just exquisite and it’s such a tender and emotional fic. Makes your heart hurt in the best possible way (and ends happy!)

Have At It by lyonet

Five times Arthur and Merlin argued over something with unexpected consequences, and one time it all worked out.

Absolutely adorable, funny, cosy fic complete with accidental bed sharing and bickering and just general warm fuzzies *happy sigh*

Restoring the Balance of Nature by camelittle

Arthur’s team, the conQuiztadors, are determined to retain their title as champions of the Camelot Round Table quiz. Apart from anything else, it will earn them bragging rights over their arch-rivals, Morgana’s evil ExQuizitors. But Morgana has a secret weapon up her sleeve, in the shape of a new team member called Merlin. And when it turns out that Arthur has met him before, buried memories resurface. With knobs on.

Hilarious, witty, and brimming with warmth and good cheer! The fic equivalent to a perfect pub Sunday.

The Land of Counterpane by Azile_Teacup

As Arthur lies in bed, recovering, Merlin comes in and finds him. Their friendship starts there, and continues and grows for the following years. Merlin, upon finding Arthur, begins to tell him stories. These stories are read from books, but mostly they come from Merlin’s imagination and as Merlin and Arthur’s world expands, so does the story, weaving through their lives and friendships.

This fic has the perfect balance of hurt and comfort, as Arthur grows up navigating a chronic illness and Merlin never stops creating stories for him. Richly detailed and funny and warm and just lovely.

I just love the wikia page for Arthur because it’s like “Arthur Pendragon” and then it has “Also known as” which is followed by this HUGE list of insults Merlin has called Arthur over the years:

[fuckyeahmerlinfanfic]

looking for angsty merthur recs, canon-time, and not a death fic LOL!Sorry, I'm just really looking for fics where Arthur is forced to get married, or Uther finds out about Merlin's magic and wants him hanged.Anything like that would be great :)

lol. Let me see. (Some of these are loose interpretations).

To You I PledgeMerlin lays his life on the line to save Arthur yet again, only this time there are witnesses, lots of them. Only Arthur prevents him going to the headman’s axe straight away, but Arthur alone cannot save him. That is up to both of them.

I Don’t Want This To Be The EndThey have an established secret relationship, only when Uther dies and Arthur wants Gwen to marry him, for she’d be a good queen for Camelot (she thinks it’s because of love), she eavesdrop when Arthur tells Merlin they have to end and kiss him for the last time.

Dare To MoveMerlin’s really bad day seems to be improving after he meets Arthur and his friends in a bar. But with Arthur all set to marry someone else, is their relationship over before it’s even begun?

Deny Thy FatherWhen 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?

With This RingAfter being enchanted, Uther forces Arthur and Merlin to marry.

A Scandalous FriendshipWhen Arthur’s father, the Duke of Sussex, tells him he must marry, his best friend Merlin is devestated. Arthur isn’t too happy about it either. But his plans to marry his friend Morgana are put in jepordy by the return of an old enemy. - Regency AU

The Things He Never KnewWhere Uther discovers Merlin’s magic and Arthur isn’t around to save him.

(No One Has Found) How to Unring the BellGoes AU from the beginning of The Witchfinder. When Aredian tells Uther that Arthur’s manservant has magic, Uther becomes obsessed with harnessing the boy’s power to begin the Purge again. Once Aredian has Merlin under control, Uther chooses a small Druid settlement to test Merlin’s ability and Arthur’s loyalty.

All is DoneUther sees Merlin’s using his magic. Trouble times ahead obviously.

ProphecyUther discovers Merlin’s magic.

Of Magic and FireArthur finds out about Merlin’s gift, Uther not trailing far behind him.

And the Cat Came BackMerlin refuses to stay locked up when Uther throws him in a cell for using magic.
