“Hi,” Percy says, grinning.

Merlin rolls his eyes and Percy leans in the rest of the way and kisses him. He can hear Arthur’s inhale and feel his arms tightening around Merlin’s middle.

Fic Rec: Forcing Serendipity

Summary:Merlin has been head over heels for his boss, a man he's never actually spoken too. But when their first meeting goes worse than even the most mortifying nightmares he could have dreamt of- courtesy of Merlin's snark and Arthur's pomposity- the only way to avoid losing his job in publishing is to be involved in making the cover of a Gay Romance Novel. But being "involved" turned out to be a much vaguer term than Merlin would have liked. If Merlin hears the phrase, "Be careful what you wish for," one more time- he's going to scream.

SOrry to bug, but do you know any good Merthur fanfics with Druid virginity rights?

I'm really sorry, I don't really read druid fics that often so I could only find a couple - I hope they are ok. If anyone knows of any others it would be extremely helpful to chuck them in the ask box or submit them... Thank you! 

The Sacred Marriage 'Verse

AU. The last night before Merlin is to leave the druid conclave and step into the position of young King Arthur's court magician, he is compelled to do the druids one last service—assuming the role of the Virgin Bride in the Beltane fertility rite of "The Sacred Marriage."

Are there any good Merthur High School Au Fics?

Yeah sure! There are loads of these, hope you like them! 

Doodle Me Silly

Arthur Pendragon is the school prince, the knightly jock of Camelot High School. Merlin is the artistic nerd that spends way too much time doodling away. None of those things matter because they’re best of friends.

…. Best friends who also happen to hopelessly crush on each other.

AKA: Sweet, fluffy sex.

Size Kink

Bullying

Homophobia

hurt/comfort

Out of Body

(This is one of my personal favourites) Finding out that his best friend is gay shouldn’t be a big deal. But then, catching Merlin wanking to gay porn shouldn’t turn Arthur on, either. With his plans for uni in shambles and his position on the high school footie team lost to injury, Arthur’s determined not to disappoint his father any further. Running away from Merlin seems like the easiest thing to do, but his denial might cost him everything.

Merlin/Leon

Gwen/Arthur

Merlin/Arthur

The Detention King of Avalon High

There’s a new kid at school, and he’s not Merlin Emrys’ type at all—until he turns out to be much more than Merlin ever expected. American HS AU.

Underage

High School

I LOVE these ones but it is teacher/student so just be warned if it’s not what you like!

Studious

When studying goes wrong. Alternatively: Arthur is a jerk and Merlin would hate him if he wasn’t in love with him. Or so he says.

PWP

Teacher/student

Age Difference

Stop Watching 

Browbeaten and threatened into denying himself by a domineering father who refuses to be embarrassed by even a whisper that his son is gay, Arthur has given up everything that he’s ever wanted in his life to keep the peace — shaky as it is — with Uther.

Arthur Pendragon, a former track and field Olympic medallist, is the well-liked and successful track coach of Camelot High, with a long list of former students making the national teams. For years, he’s been courted to join the coaching staff at Ivy League universities, with the national team, for the Olympic team, but instead of jumping at the opportunities in front of him, Arthur keeps his head down and stays at Camelot out of a feeling responsibility for his students, duty to the school, and a tiny, little bit of fear.

It’s the first day of school and a new runner joins Arthur’s team — a senior transfer from Ealdor High. Merlin Emrys is out, open, impossibly friendly, immediately popular, and impossibly persistent.

Merlin has two goals: the Olympics and Arthur.

Be What You Feel

Your blog makes me happy and now you're following me and it makes me even happier, so thanks! c:

awh thank you! <3 Well your blog makes me happy so thank you for following me ;) 

[merthurfanfic]

I'm not sure if you take requests, but I was wondering if you could help me find a merthur fic. it takes place in canon era, and is mainly about how hard it is for Merlin to work for Arthur because he's in love. In the end, though, Arthur asks a really intrusive and intimate question, and Merlin runs away and hides in a tree. Arthur runs after him and, frustrated, carves their names together in the tree. If I can get your help, that'd be great. Thank you!!!

I'm really sorry but I've never heard of this one :/ 

Maybe if people have heard of it they can let me or you know?! I'm sorry if I ever come across it I'll definitely rec it x

[merthurfanfic]

D'you know of any social networking Merthur fics? Thanks!

Rivalry On Ice

I just want Arthur and Merlin and lots of glittery outfits. Arthur and Merlin are rivals. Merlin and Arthur are figure skaters. Fact is there are two rivals but just only one Olympic gold medal.

The One Where Merlin Dances Ballet

Arthur wanted to spit the coffee out and say something wonderful and perfect like people in romantic movies said, all deep and shit, but he was Arthur and he was awkward when it came to emotions, and so he just ended up with the rather unpleasant feeling of coffee trying to back its way up into his nose.

[merthurfanfic]

Could you please suggest any fictions where Merlin is one-sidedly in love with Arthur, and he has been hurt because he has to see Arthur loves someone else? Thank you :)

Sorry this took so long! I couldn't find too many, a lot of them were Arthur one sidedly in love with Merlin ha hope these are ok...

All Bets are Off

Merlin has been in a series of failed relationships since uni, and Arthur has been a slag for just as long. After Merlin's most recent breakup, Arthur bets he can stay in a relationship longer than Merlin can stay single. Neither of them suspects their little bet will backfire so spectacularly—or open up so many possibilities.

Cheers Darlin'

Merlin drinks away his sorrows the eve of Gwen's coronation and is dragged out of the dining hall by Arthur for inappropriate, anger-driven, drunken behaviour.

When he returned to England after a couple of years away, he was delighted and surprised to catch Gwaine's interest.
