Summary
He carries a dagger with him. It is leaf shaped and sharp and the hilt was – is – wrapped in dyed leather. He picked up over a thousand years ago. More than that, now. His hand is dirty and bloody and the only thing he has left is the dagger and a dirt tipped bayonet that sits just several inches from his hand. He looks into blue eyes.

Summary
In a society where all sorcerers are enslaved and stripped of their magic, 12-year-old Merlin is sold away from his mother to serve Arthur Pendragon, son of the wealthy Uther Pendragon of Pendragon Industries. Though the life of a slave is harsh and taxing, Merlin just might find comfort and even friendship in his new home. And Arthur may discover that the system he's always accepted may not be as simple as he thought. Can the two of them bridge the social gap and change their world for the better?
(No Merthur, just lots of close friendship. Eventual Arthur/Gwen I think, but it won't be the focus. Contains abuse and violence towards slaves, although nothing too graphic. I'll add appropriate tags as I go.)

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.
ARC 1 CONCLUDED!

Summary
It’s always the water in his dreams.
Dark. Lapping at the stone walls. Bottomless.
The chain clanks heavily against the sides.
It’s so deep.
The rope is never long enough.
—————
Arthur has no idea why he had to get assigned the weirdest servant in Camelot.

Summary
Merlin was tired. So tired. With everyday that passed, the bags on his back got heavier, his eyes looked older, and Merlin felt the exhaustion seep into his bones. And still he waited. Arthur might be back one day, after all, and he would need Merlin's help.
Merlin doesn't even know if he cares anymore. It's been too long. Maybe he should just let the magic beat him and end the world. He didn't have anyone to live for, after all.
Or, what I imagine season 6 of the show would be like if Arthur came back and everyone was less emotionally constipated. -

Summary
Everyone knows it’s a manservant’s duty to look after his master’s manhood. Everyone except Merlin that is. Which makes for a very awkward and embarrassing series of attempts, and an angry, sexually frustrated prince... Well, you know what they say, practice makes perfect!
“I can’t do it! I can’t work for that arrogant prat! He is impossible! You won’t believe what he just asked me to do!” He shook his head fiercely, his cheeks heating up again.
“What did he ask?” Gaius asked.
Merlin made an embarrassed squeaky groan. He could feel his face burning. “He asked me to…” He stopped pacing and took a deep breath. “Rub his sword!”
Gaius lifted one eyebrow, it arched perfectly over his right eye. “Yes, you have to look after his weapons-”
“No, Gaius, not that sword, not the one he fights with…” Merlin put his hands in his hair, tugging it in frustration. “His… morning… glory…” He gestured at his own crotch.
“Oh!” Gaius waved a hand in understanding. “Yes. Of course he did.”
“What do you mean, of course he did?” Merlin’s voice sounded a little shrill now.
“That’s one of a manservant’s duties,” Gaius explained. -

Summary
Bereft of the emotions that should have come at the implications of the sentence, Uther's tone is stoic as if his own son is a common prisoner. “You are to leave Camelot by nightfall. If we find you have returned to the grounds of this kingdom we will have no choice but to carry out your original sentence in the highest order.”
Exiled and disinherited? Brilliant.
An AU where Uther, under the influence of Troll!Catrina and Goblin!Gaius legitimately disinherits Arthur and he must deal with the consequences thereof in an attempt to reclaim Camelot.

The dragon leaned forward. "Your destiny is to protect Uther Pendragon's heir, the one who will be the Once and Future King and unite all of Albion."
Merlin blinked. "But . . . Uther doesn't have an heir."
. . .
In many Arthurian texts, Arthur is raised as a peasant by Sir Ector with no knowledge of his royal lineage. Let's bring that back, shall we?

Summary
They say not to put all your eggs in one basket, but Arthur only has one basket. He must somehow convince Camelot that Merlin - and, by extension, magic - deserves to be free on the actions of the warlock alone. Only, his subjects are difficult to sway, and his nobility harder. Meanwhile, he must battle his growing feelings for his manservant - and the fact that he doesn't only love Merlin.
In which Merlin must fess up to everything he's ever done in front of all of Camelot, and he has to hope that his good deeds outweigh his evil ones. It has all come down to this.
