Merthur Fanfic - Tumblr Posts
Guys I am in a reading stump. I just can’t find a fic to stick to. Can someone please recommend me a fic? I love reading drarry, sterek, merthur, and firstprince. I am especially addicted to drarry ones where Draco is cute and innocent and harry just can’t take it. If anyone can please recommend me a fic it will be very much appreciated.

merthur fic recs: different first meeting
1. Here at the Altar I’m Letting You Go by messandahalf (@messandahalf10too)
Against Arthur’s will, he is arranged to marry Princess Mithian from Nemeth. A minor problem occurs in Uther’s plan for his son when the regular tailor for the Royal Family falls ill, requiring a replacement to sew Arthur’s wedding attire.
~~~
fahjdkh the pining!!!
2. Woad Blue by MerlinLikeTheBird
They accidentally take over a castle. Well, Gwaine calls it liberating. Merlin’s not sure what to call it—there was a lord, and now there isn’t. (Kanen comes to Ealdor early, and that changes everything.)
~~~
the angst slaps so hard in this fic (though there is still a ton of fluff!)
3. We Can Hide Together, Among the Roses by infinitemerlin
Arthur is supposed to marry Princess Mithian in five days.
And then he meets the wedding’s florist.
Suddenly, he can’t stop thinking about roses and happiness and—does he even deserve all of that?
~~~
ahhh this is so cute!!!

Arthur and Merlin are incredibly bored, and the prince is tired of Merlin’s rubbish games. Instead, he suggests a new game.
A story of two idiots who constantly try to prove their courage and bravery with a game of humiliation and dares.

Merlin Writer Month 2018
My Major is Pre-Sorcery by princepratness
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur Pendragon
Words: 5,843
Summary: Merlin’s in the pre-sorcery department and Arthur’s in the Prince program. The last thing Arthur expected is for them to ever get along. However, they do. In fact, they get along so damn well that Arthur’s stuck wondering how he never noticed when the insults became kisses instead.
Comments: This is absolutely adorable and is a lovely quick heartwarming read for anyone who loves a bit of Merthur. The perfect enemies to lovers/ friends to lovers fic!
Thank you @das-alien-vom-planeten-wooh for the recommendation ❤️
Prompt #4:
Once again Merlin has been poisoned.
This time with an extremely potent poison that Arthur knows always to be fatal. He doesn’t manage to save Merlin in time and has to watch his manservant die.
Merlin’s dead.
Until he isn’t.
Merlin is positive that something went wrong and they probably just used a wrong dosis, but Arthur is convinced that Merlin should be dead.
BONUS: They have been abducted and Merlin’s live is being used as leverage against Arthur.
Prompt #9:
The cursed Prince
When Arthur was young he was cursed. A punishment for all his cruelties.
The next time he misused his powers as the Prince of Camelot against his people he started growing horns. They grew bigger and he became beastlier with every misbehaviour.
In order to become the handsome prince he once was he needs someone to show - and teach - him kindness.
Though who would help out the disgraced prince that has scared away everyone long ago?
Prompt #15:
Supernatural Crossover:
Merlin and Hunith run a Hunter’s Bar (similar to Ellen and Jo). Arthur is a hunter who stopps by every now and then and absolutely has a thing for Merlin. Merlin though hates his guts - or pretends to at least - which makes it all the more fun for Arthur to tease him.
Prompt #17:
Skiing AU:
Arthur is a skiing-beginner and accidentally runs Merlin over on the slope. Needless to say neither of them is very fond of the other after that meeting.
It really was an accident though.
So was the second time.
And the third time.
The fourth time, however, wasn’t.
Possible endings:
1) Arthur invites Merlin to their skiing lodge at the end of their holidays as a way of apologising for the times they unfortunately bumped into each other.
2) Merlin and Arthur get stuck in a gondola and huddle together for warmth.
3) Both of the above.
Prompt #18:
Bar/Café owner Arthur hosts his sister Morgana’s bachelorette party.
Morgana’s maid of honour booked stripper!Merlin for the evening.
Arthur ends up hanging out with Merlin after the girls have already moved on to their next location.
merthur fic recs: oblivious!merlin pt 6
1. Matters of the Heart by a_written_dream (@a-written-dream)
“You must find the person Arthur truly loves,” the Dragon says, and this time it’s Merlin who wants to laugh.
“Arthur doesn’t love anyone, not since Gwen,” he says, certain of it.
The air rumbles with the Dragon’s laughter. “It seems you do not know your prince quite as well as you thought, young warlock.”
-
A 2x10 Sweet Dreams rewrite. After the ordeal with Hengist, Gwen and Arthur decide they are better suited as friends. Arthur still gets enchanted to fall in love with Lady Vivian, Merlin still tries to save his royal ass, and True Loves’ Kiss is still the cure. But if Gwen isn’t Arthur’s true love, then who could it possibly be?
~~~
hmmm it’s really a mystery who arthur’s OTHER HALF is
2. Your Eyes Glow by Drifting_Stream
Arthur’s been acting strangely ever since he’d learned about Merlin’s magic, which he found completely understandable. But asking Merlin to use magic in front of him, when it so obviously made the king uncomfortable? Obviously, Arthur was disgusted by his magic, by him. That had to be it. Right?
~~~
damn it’s like obliviousness is contagious. first arthur doesn’t notice merlin doing magic right in front of him, and now merlin doesn’t noticed [redacted]
3. Next to You (It’s the Rule) by LunaMyLove
Arthur and Merlin have a special relationship. They always have, even when they were prince and servant. While many question it when first noticing, eventually it becomes an understanding in Camelot—and even among some other countries—that where there is Arthur, there is Merlin. And, where there is Merlin, there is Arthur.
Or
Arthur and Merlin’s relationship as witnessed and explained by others.
Also, or
Five times someone realizes that Merlin is the Queen, one time Merlin realizes it himself, and one time he owns it.
~~~
this is probably one of my all time fav fics. the humour is on point
now i need the fanfics masterlists
just watched bbc merlin for the first time. you british people are NOT okay this destroyed me
Unrealistic that all these magic reveal merthur au’s out there have Merlin remembering enough of his life to be able to recap the entirety of the show to Arthur without leaving anything out all in one go.
magic reveal fanfic’s:
Merlin: my magic’s for you arthur. Its only for you. *proceeds to give chronological order of events starting at ep1 all the way up to the reveal*
10x funnier and more likely:
Merlin: *months or years after the reveal* so anyway, there I was, tied to a tree, and a serkhet stings me, right?
Arthur: *spluttering* I’m sorry what
Any fics w (not actually) unrequited love? Preferably pining Arthur/Bond, with happy endings:)

1. the desire beneath by insane_falcon (@insane-ohwhyfandoms)
Merlin and Arthur have been best friends through high school and university, where they eventually add benefits to their friendship. Which is where everything goes wrong—a small taste of something more that leaves them both literally starting to die for more.
~~~
dfhalsjkf the misunderstandings
2. It Was One Kingdom, Once by queerofthedagger (@queerofthedagger)
“He cursed me. I’m coughing up flowers, Gaius—what other possible explanation is there?”
“Well, there is—”
“He was mad at me, it’s exactly something he would do. Infuriating, obnoxious, goddamned sorcerer that he is probably finds it funny to—”
It is said that the sins of the father should not be cast upon the son. Unfortunately, a father's miscalculated bargain can still come back to haunt you—Arthur is twenty-one, has a kingdom to rule, and apparently, a magically binding marriage contract with the Prince of Escetir. Prince Merlin, who has magic, a dragon, great dislike for Arthur, and still no intention to back out of the contract.
The worst part is, to a degree, Arthur understands—as a sorcerer, he wouldn't trust Uther Pendragon's son either. So he simply has to convince Merlin that he can be trusted, and the contract can be broken while they secure peace between Camelot and Escetir. It's a good plan.
Right up until forces conspire against both their kingdoms, more secrets come to light, and Arthur starts coughing up flowers.

i am screaming!!
3. Not Just a Kiss by Sorceressofdragons
Though Arthur hadn’t felt it, time had passed while he’d been with the Sidhe after Camlaan. When he returned to Camelot, fully healed and with Merlin at his side, it was to find Gwen remarried and with a family. He grieved but stepped aside, only wanting his one-time queen and love to be happy. Several years later, he and Merlin are bespelled by a dying witch, who insists they are both fools. They soon learn that if they don’t kiss every few hours, they are stricken with a severe illness. Knowing it will put the crown at risk, they keep it secret from all but a select few and quietly adjust their lives around it. Soon it becomes apparent that there is only one cure for the spell, but Arthur has long since come to terms with his unrequited love for his manservant and is afraid of all that will change if they go through with it.

hello i am not okay

A Matter of Convenience by junetangerine (culuyetille)
‘twas why the whole thing had been sanctioned in the first place: minimal disturbance of the status quo, just a blip in their routine, no consequences. So what if the Quartermaster had had an untimely, dangerous heat and 007 had been the one assigned to see him through it. Both of them knew better than to let anything come of it. (Alpha/Omega dynamics)
~~~
the pining is impeccable
2. the simplest of crimes by pdameron (@slverjohn)
Bonds says, "We should get married," as if he's simply commenting on the weather, and the circuit board Q's been fiddling with bursts into flames. The two incidents are not unrelated. * Bond and Q get married. It's not what it looks like.
~~~
there aren't that many pining!bond fics so this fic and the next are pining!q fics, but this author writes pining q so well that it would be remiss of me not to rec their fics
3. as permanent as stone cathedrals by pdameron (@slverjohn)
Q has been in love for two years, six months, and twelve days when James Bond walks away, leaving him with a bleeding head and a broken heart on a dark and noisy London bridge.

one of the 00q classics imo
