merthur fic recs: outsider pov
1. The Lies We Tell Ourselves (And Everybody Else) by wyvern
When Morgana finds Merlin under threat from Uther in the kitchen one beautiful morning, she decides to help out.
For the prompt: "The awkward morning after in the Pendragon household where Morgana has to pretend it was her room Merlin spent the night in, not Arthur's."

dhjkfss i love the pendragon household in this fic. uther is less of a horrible person and actually a semi decent father and morgana is helpful and charmingly mischievous in this one.
2. The Son-in-Law by Tossukka
”Your son is a major arse.”
”Who is this?”
”This is Merlin Emrys. The one who dated your son for four years, and I just called you to inform that your son is an arse and I can’t believe I put up with him all that time. Is it only him or is it some Pendragon thing I wasn’t aware of?”

ahhh i love this fic. i love the concept of a supportive!uther playing relationship counsellor to our two fools.
3. Belong to the Living by lady_ragnell (@theladyragnell)
A sorceress's spell brings Ygraine back from the dead with no memory of what's happened in the years between.

i loved that scene where ygraine gives uther a piece of her mind. literally so satisfying. i also love how motherly she is and how she’s characterised in this fic. the author does her so much justice.
