Summary: Browbeaten and threatened into denying himself by a domineering father who refuses to be embarrassed by even a whisper that his son is gay, Arthur has given up everything that he’s ever wanted in his life to keep the peace — shaky as it is — with Uther.

Arthur Pendragon, a former track and field Olympic medallist, is the well-liked and successful track coach of Camelot High, with a long list of former students making the national teams. For years, he’s been courted to join the coaching staff at Ivy League universities, with the national team, for the Olympic team, but instead of jumping at the opportunities in front of him, Arthur keeps his head down and stays at Camelot out of a feeling responsibility for his students, duty to the school, and a tiny, little bit of fear.

It’s the first day of school and a new runner joins Arthur’s team — a senior transfer from Ealdor High. Merlin Emrys is out, open, impossibly friendly, immediately popular, and impossibly persistent.

Merlin has two goals: the Olympics and Arthur.

"Any timetravel fics? Like where Merlin and Arthur (or someone else, idc) end up in our time? Bonus points if they meet Colin and Bradley XD"

The Big Reveal
Bradley and Colin swap places with Merlin and Arthur. Something magical happens, and the two pairs of boys get dimension-swapped i.e. Merlin and Arthur are here, trying to act in the series, and Bradley and Colin are stuck in Camelot. (incorporates time-travel and dimension-swap)

The Last Dragonlord
Darkness. All you see is darkness, your mind is relaxed, hazy. You think someone is gently running their fingers through your hair, petting you, but you’re not sure. You move towards the loving touch anyway.

Today is Tomorrow and Was Yesterday
Merlin uses his magic to save Arthur and himself from the clutches of an angry monster. Something goes wrong and they find themselves whisked off to modern day London.

Jump in Time
After discovering a mysterious crystal cave, Merlin and Arthur find themselves catapulted forward into the future. There, they encounter the foreign culture of modern day life and have to work out how to survive.

this thing between us
A spell sends Arthur and Merlin into the 21st century where homosexuality smacks them right in the face in the re incarcerated forms of Lancelot, Gwaine, Morgana and Gwen. The new liberal society allows unspoken feelings to come to the surface…in weird, unspoken ways.

In case you’re interested, reincarnation fics often overlap with your request- here’s  one that includes Bradley and Colin as well:

An Ever-Fixed Mark
Reincarnation with a twist. Colin is Arthur reincarnated and Bradley is Merlin.

Summary: Merlin has never had a secret admirer before so he’s fairly certain this one has the wrong guy.

"Hi! I was wondering if you knew of any Merlin/Arthur mpreg fics? I saw where someone asked before, but I already read those so any more would be awesome. :)"

Since I believe you’ve read the “classics” I’ve posted some new ones ;)

Just a Date
After a hard day at work, Arthur vents his frustration on Merlin. When he realizes his mistake, it’s already too late and he has to face the consequences.

Ripe
Of the two of them, it is Arthur who has the right body for breeding. “Strong and somewhat on the voluptuous side,” Merlin says as he lovingly fondles Arthur’s slightly less than flat stomach.

Tied (series) [WIP]
There is only one way to end Camelot’s drought, but at what cost?

Two Hatches and a Match
“Just as the dragonlord calls a dragon from its egg, so too may the egg call forth a dragonlord.”

"I was wondering if there are anymore good Suicidal!Merlin or Addict!Merlin. We basiclly any self destructive Merlin fan fiction haha. If there are more I would love to read~ please and thank you :3"

Addict!Merlin

Euphoria
When his veins flood with heroin, when his magic suppresses itself, and even when he rides on the chemical bliss, Merlin’s soul still sings for Arthur. And Arthur has answered the call.  (WIP)

Blister in the Sun
Replace the Slash Dragon with the smack dragon and everything turns to shit. Nothing happy here.

Come Over
“I’m not fucking you until you wash up,” Arthur says, stepping back to let Merlin in.

All the Complexities
The course of true love never did run smooth. Arthur and Merlin knows this all too well.

Suicidal/Self-harming!Merlin

Turning Page
When Merlin, best loved singer/songwriter in the UK, tragically loses his parents in a car accident his life is turned upside down. Depressed and alone he’s ready to give up and leave it all behind, but then he hears a voice.

Breaking Point
There was so much red. As much as one of their cloaks, one of the knight’s cloaks – one of Arthur’s cloaks. And, thinking that, he could almost be okay with this. With watching his blood drip out onto the forest floor and just thinking that everything he had done had been for Arthur. But, he was done now. Merlin was just too tired. 

You Cannot Leave Me Behind
Merlin is unable to handle the guilt from the events of Season 2. Arthur may not know what’s going on, but he knows that something is wrong with Merlin.

Seven Times Black
They say seven is a magic number, a number chosen by the universe to mark something special. It figures again and again in mythology, in tales of magic, in old religions no longer honoured by the world. So here, in seven parts, is the tale of Merlin and his Arthur, or Arthur and his Merlin, and their seventh incarnation during the age that humanity knows as the twenty-first century. It is no longer a time of dragons and castles and swords; humanity has found far more deadly weapons to murder itself with.

Carry the Burden
“Show yourself!” Arthur seethed. Slowly, Merlin turned around. Arthur was horror stricken to see his friend covered in blood. 

Summary: On his way to Camelot, Merlin meets the Lady of the Lake.

"Can you recommend some Arthur death fics?"

The Hero Dies in this One
At the end of a battle, one friend saves the other, one friend lives, one friend dies.

Time to Eternity
So much savagery and blood. He mourns, mourns Arthur with every recast spell, every foe he sets aflame, every battalion he decimates as they scatter and cry, “Sorcerer! Sorcerer! Emrys!”

This flame used to burn so bright
“It got both easier and harder as time went on. Merlin had never imagined that loving Arthur would be easy, but he’d had no idea that it would be this painful.”

Exaggerations and Overreactions
Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table are led to believe that Arthur is dead. Merlin doesn’t take it very well.

Kissing You Goodbye
Arthur asks Merlin one final request

Modern!AU:

Under the Wild Oak
In which Merlin searches for a solution and instead finds a way to reconcile the difference between what he wants and what he gets.

Long, Lovely, and Fleeting.
Arthur’s watching the telly when Merlin’s quietly announces, “Dinner’s almost ready.”

Summary: Merlin likes weed. Gwaine likes Merlin. Step 3 is obvious, right?

Mod: Oh my goodness, this was seriously just way too adorable for a High-school AU about Gwaine and Merlin being best friends and getting high together. Pining!Gwaine was wonderful and both of them were written perfectly.

"Hello there! Do you know any good Merlin/Freya (no merthur please) set in modernAU? All the plots are welcome! And I’m a huge fan of this pairing so I already devouring your tag :) Keep the good work! xx"

People gonna talk (whether you doing bad or good)
Freya/Merlin - ‘Lady of the Lake’ is a nickname Merlin comes up with for Freya after discovering how wet she gets during foreplay.

An Education in Oral (also includes Merlin/Morgana)
After a night of drinking, Merlin, Morgana and Freya hook up.

Voices of The Past
She’s on the run… it seems that’s the way life intended it to be. A second time round, he saved her again… maybe this time they’ll succeed.

Pills to Sleep at Night
Merlin is homeless and hopeless in modern Ireland pretending to be something and someone he isn’t.

The Way To A Man’s Heart (And All That Jazz) (also includes Gwaine/Arthur)
Arthur learns that sometimes blind dates – even unexpected, unwanted ones with Merlin’s friends – work out. Eventually.

Appearing in Camelot
After a sleepover that included a Merlin marathon, Freya and her two friends from 2010, suddenly wake up in Camelot. What will happen when they meet our wonderfully prattish prince, the ever smirking Morgana, and the oh so idiotic warlock? Nothing good.

Adding this one because you might like it even though it’s not modern or canon ;)
Freya
Based on Disney’s “Tangled.” All her life, Freya’s been hidden away in a tower and has dreamt of seeing the floating lanterns in person. When she meets a certain scarf-wearing warlock, will her dream finally come true?

Summary: In which Merlin freezes his ass off and Arthur doesn’t cuddle (except when he does).

"Hi! I'm a big fan of Gwaine. Are there any fics of him with any female characters? Any setting (canon, AU, AH, etc) is fine! :) Thanks!"

Ok, since you requested Gwaine with no specific woman I’ve added the most common pairings: I hope you’ll find what you’re looking for among these:

Gwaine/Morgana: (check the this tag for more) 
The Cost of a Smile
The Lady Morgana doesn’t smile enough and Gwaine likes a challenge…

Beneath the steady waves, of fearless hope and grace
Gwaine asked something of Morgana she wasn’t sure she wanted to give. Ever…so he asks again.

Tell Me, Where Do We Draw The Line? (Remember My Name)
Gwaine meets an old woman at a tavern. While he should have no interest in her at all, she casts a spell over him - metaphorically and literally speaking. To him, she is a lot younger than she pretends to be.

Awash with Shadows
“She rode back with them, heavily swaddled in robes as if she found it impossible to get warm. At night, she settled close to Arthur, denying all an easy rest.” Gwaine returns to Camelot and finds a reason to stay.

Gwaine/Gwen:
Princess
The seen-but-not heard conversation between Gwaine & Gwen at the end of 3x04.

Gwaine/Elena:
Welcome to the Neighbourhood
It’s Elena’s first morning in her new flat and she has a mountain of boxes to unpack, a sad lack of food in her kitchen, and a nearly naked man outside her door.

Haunted House
Gwaine and Elena are dared to spend the night in a haunted house. Things don’t quite go to plan.

Made Glorious Summer (also includes Leon/Morgana and Arthur/Merlin)
Gwaine had always found that the novelty of a country house party wore off by the third or fourth day — nothing much to do and far too much time in which to do it. He’d often wondered if that was why so many house parties ended with either a scandal or an engagement — perhaps everyone had simply got bored.

The One With Elena and Gwaine’s Wedding Plans (multipairing)
So Gwaine and Elena might just be getting married for the stag night and gifts but Morgana is going to plan the hell out of the wedding anyway. Gwen placates while Lance considers the color of the place cards. Leon is put upon and retreats to the kitchen to make tea. And Merlin and Arthur hump in the loo. All in all it’s a fairly typical day.
