A Modern Manservant

by Mamalazzer

Words: 112,645 Chapters: 2 Fandom: Merlin (TV) Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply AO3 Account Needed: No

Relationships: Merlin/Arthur Pendragon (Merlin)

Summary:

A modern magical comedy very loosely based on Ugly Betty. Publishing king Uther Pendragon has had enough of his playboy son seducing every female assistant he has ever had so he hires Merlin, a man he is sure Arthur will never sleep with. Merlin would be more insulted by this fact if he wasn’t so busy trying to juggle his duties, save Arthur's skin from ruthless fashionistas and keep his magic a secret at the same time. Expect appearances by oil-lathered knights, the occasional mad druid, a perverted Will and a mental caretaker who lives in the basement and keeps harping on about coins and destiny.

My Notes: Sticking with the rom-com theme again! This might just be the most hilarious fic I've ever read. I genuinely cannot stop laughing every time I reread it, which has been an impressive number of times considering I only first read it late last year! I have three tied favourite Merlin fics and this is decidedly one of them. A reincarnation fic, but such a different vibe to every other one I've read. If you want a good laugh and a new fic to be addicted to rereading, this one's for you!

Merlin: A Hogwarts History

words by @mamalazzer, art by @cyanide-chicken Summary:  After spending the better part of a thousand years as a professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Merlin had given up hope that he would ever see Arthur again. Then Christmas 1993 happened and Sybil Trelawney wheezed out a prophecy about the return of the Once and Future King. As ecstatic as Merlin is about the news, he wishes it wasn't because they were slowly approaching the end of all times, with magic itself beginning to fade from the land. Merlin also wishes Sybil had warned him how much more of a brat Arthur would be as a modern teenager, especially because this incarnation of him - terrifyingly - seems to have magic, too. Somewhere in the Forbidden Forest, Merlin can hear Kilgharrah laughing at him. Featuring nosy portraits with too much time on their hands, reincarnated knights with a penchant for Quidditch and such a supreme amount of Pendragon prattishness that it is practically a character on its own.   Click HERE for the story and art!
