A Marriage that Started a Legend

Author: Clearwater96

Rating: E

Setting: Canon AU

Word Count: 1,013,769 (WIP)

Summary: 

Arthur Pendragon and Merlin were literally from two different worlds. One is a prince from a great kingdom and the other a common farm boy from the next kingdom over. These two should have never met.

But that was before they realized their parents were once friends and arranged the two of them to marry when they reached adulthood. That was before Uther turned on magic and Hunith went on the run with her infant son.

Now almost twenty years have passed and these two boys have grown into men. Camelot knights have found Hunith and come to collect her son.

Will Merlin survive this new world he has been thrusted into? A peasant among royals, a sorcerer among those that would have him killed if they found out. Can Merlin even begin to hope for happiness when the prince he is forced to marry wants nothing to do with him?

Follows canon but with my own arranged marriage spin to it

Reader’s Comments: it’s amazing. it has possessive/jealous arthur (who is having his “i am straight” phase) and innocent/cheeky merlin. it’s super great (just a warning tho arthur WILL be at the top of you hit list) it is a work in progress but Clearwater updates it EVERY SATURDAY and i don’t think they’ve ever missed an update. anyway check it out it’s great  thanks fir being awesome

Thanks to marie for sending in this fic!

Reader’s Recs!

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.

Serum

Author: Keandre

Rating: E

Setting: Modern Magical AU

Word Count: 184,750

Summary: 

Merlin is supposed to save his father whose life is threatened by the Serum, a drug developed under the Pendragon government to keep sorcery at bay. He doesn't count on getting entangled in a web of intrigue and long forgotten secrets. Falling in love, however, hits Merlin totally out of the blue.

"Merlin stares at the syringe as it is emptying bit by bit. The blue liquid’s spreading through his body reaching every part and every fibre and as it takes command of him, cell by cell, his magic recoils and struggles against it. It tries to push the icy blue away with all its force and fight it with all its might. But the Serum has the force of a tsunami washing over every attempt to resist it."

Reader’s Comments: So, I just finished reading this Fanfic and I realised that it didn't get the attention it so rightfully deserved (IMO)

It's more than 180k words long and has a fantastic plot. I also think that the bad guys/good guys part of the story was handled perfectly and, well, realistically. At the beginning, you think you figured out who the villain is, but it really isn't that clear cut, and they're just a cog in a bigger machine. I hope this doesn't count as a spoiler, I left it vague enough.

Anyway, I think it's great! I highly recommend it.

Curses of Camelot

Author: Lessa

Rating: T

Setting: Canon AU

Word Count: 319,969

Summary: 

Initially a series of one shots of curses based around potholes. Sub-series from chapter 18 operating on the basis of Agravaine not existing (because writing him makes me want to bathe in dettol) and Arthur actually having to think for himself.

Secrets are everywhere in Camelot, and they aren't all Merlin's. Oh What a tangled web they weave!

Reader’s Comments: This is a rec for a fic that I really, really like, because it dives deep into the implications of Uther’s genocide as well as Merlin’s actions defeating a High Priestess of the Old Religion and the mess that Arthur’s going to have to clean up when he becomes king.

The story started as a series of vignettes, then grew a plot around Chapter 18 or 19. The grammar and sentence structure can be a little wonky at times, but if you look past that, the story itself, the ideas, are phenomenal.

A Question of Motives 

Author: Alaia Skyhawk 

Rating: T

Setting: Canon AU

Word Count: 303, 673

Summary:

As he lay there bearing witness to the battle before him, he could scarce believe what he saw. What was he to believe? What to do? How are you supposed to react when the man you saw as your closest friend turns out to be a sorcerer? *Spoilers for SE-3*

Reader’s Comments:  The ‘A Question Of...’ series by Alaia Skyhawk on fanfiction is amazing read. A retelling of the show but with Arthur knowing about Merlin’s magic. Honestly if anyone has to read any story I recommend that series very much I can’t praise it enough with how good it is

Thanks to @chemicalmoose for the rec!
