Merthur fic Recs.

Tag: Dragonlord Merlin

Not Quite Home Universe Series 82K (E) by Jpg_26862

He was on his way to the store when he felt a stirring in the air, something familiar from ages past. It made his hair stand on end, and he pulled his jacket tighter around his body. He had his beat up headphones on, blocking out the sounds of the street. He was uncomfortable, deeply, deeply uncomfortable. That stirring felt… significant. In a way he hadn’t felt since- since Arthur. Merlin is flung into the past, dragged across time and space to a Camelot so like his own and yet not at all the same. After a thousand years, he must find his way in this new world, or run as far away as he can, if only to save himself. Not to mention that Arthur is nowhere in sight, and those that he loves are in danger if they even get near him... Arthur dreams of a life that is not his own, flashes of a past that he never lived haunting him. To possibly find answers, he must travel to Camelot, and possibly see what these strange dreams mean. Not to mention Mordred and Archimedes hinting at a destiny far greater than him, and the balance of magic as they know it forever altered by a strange force known as Emrys...

I was Lost till You were Found 69K (T) by Skitz_phenom

On the shores of Avalon, Arthur wakes to a world not his own. Though time has passed, it's been nowhere near long enough to bring-about the return of the Once and Future King. Instead, it's a different task that's pulled Arthur from the hereafter: one that could change the future and the very fabric of magic. Figuring out why he's alive once again is only just the start of Arthur's journey.

Dragon island 95K (NR) by Theroundbartable

When Uther Pendragon gets a clue about the legendary dragon island, a place where dragons and the last kin of the dragon lords are said to live, he sends out his son and his knights to find it and destroy it. The war path, however, did not calculate the storm that was about to come and sooner than expected, Merlin and Arthur find themselves alone on the island. Faced with Merlin's past that only he is aware of. And secrets about Balinor, that should not have come to light this way. And to top it all of, Merlin is alone with Arthur. Who doesn't even know that he's already confessed. Oh yeah. And let's not forget the clusterfuck that Sir Leon has to deal with. :)

Distracting butterflies 1.5K (G) by CityOfScreams

a witch curses the the court so their soul is revealed. one issue merlin isn't actually human. issue 2, Arthur was made out of magic so is isn't really human either. ... how is Uther going to burn one...and not the other?

No more secrets (for what is grief if not love’s resilience?) 12K (G) by That_Nerd_Who_Writes_Fanficton

His chest felt heavy with the weight of the impending decision, knowing that whatever he chose, there would be consequences and it wasn’t just as easy as a kingdom or a life. If it was that simple, anyone would know that saving thousands would do better than saving one. Mordred was a knight. He’d already given his life for Camelot, even while there was still air in his lungs, just as every knight did. But Merlin had magic, and Arthur didn’t know what his abilities were, but Merlin had magic. Which meant magic couldn’t be evil.

BONUS

Blood of my father 8K (G) by MyAmisFics

The Darkest Hour rewrite: Merlin saves the day by revealing his Dragonlord ancestry “A single drop of my blood is worth more than the life of a High Priestess.” A moment of silence passed before the Cailleach nodded her head in acceptance. «How brave, young dragon. So you do challenge me after all. Very well. But are you sure you’re willing to part with such a precious thing? You might save your Prince’s life tonight, but tomorrow when you return to Camelot he will demand that you burn at the stake for your powers.”

We are but the children crying to our father for our mother to come back online

When Ao3 (Tumblr's wife) is down...

[emryslore]

ahhh yay!! okay, we’ve just finished the beauty and the beast pt. 1 and 2 so still early days. shes been skillfully dodging spoilers so anything about morgana’s betrayal, the adult mordred arc and arthur’s death are still surprises but other than that it’s fair game. she also knows about gwaine though she hasn’t seen his introduction yet

This is brilliant then, would love to recommend some of my very favourite Canon divergence fics!

from the start 16K (T)by hansuckss

A very cute little Modern AU.

Ever since Merlin stood in front of that window for the very first time, curious eyes were fixed on the boy that played between the flowers right in front his new house. They were fixed on him then, from that moment, and on. Or; Merlin is back at his mother’s house for a wedding, and despite his attempts to move on, seeing his childhood best friend, Arthur, it forces him to revisit feelings that he has been trying to leave behind.

Camelot's Salvation 111K (M) by GemsAndCats.

Complete transmigration AU with a very interesting OC

Gwen (OC - not Guinevere) is a literature PHD student when she stupidly reads a Druid spell in an old text and is transported to (what she believes) is fictional Camelot. Merlin meets her and decides she needs help, even without knowing the whole truth. Gwen realizes that she has a unique chance at changing Merlin and Arthur's fates. (Another commissioned work. Another time-travel fix it. Not a self-insert, but a helpful OC. Guinevere will be Guin in this to avoid confusion. The name thing is intentional and will serve a purpose. OC does not end up with anyone and is jus there to further the plot)

The Once and Future Kings 956K (M) by tjmcharg

A complete rewrite

In a land of myth, and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young boy. His name... Merlin. OR A complete rewrite of BBC’s Merlin

An unstable mass (of blood and foam) 25K (M) by begaydocrimes10001

Humour and feels, what more can we ask for?

"Well, how did you know I would..." Arthur seemed to search for the words. "React positively?" It was now Merlin’s turn to scoff. “Oh please, Arthur, you’re not as sly as you think. When I took off my neckerchief, you turned puce.” “That should be illegal." Arthur flushed red. "I shouldn’t have to see your neck.” Or, Merlin and Arthur start hooking up around the end of s1, after they’ve both, in a completely platonic way, decided the other is worth dying for. This situation is just a FWB one, not at all romantic, right? Right? (OR or; author explores Merlin's crazy fucking devotion to Arthur, and Arthur's crazy devotion to Merlin. They're so co-dependent.)

these last two have to do with Dragonlords so i suggest reading them after you finish Season 2 , i wanted to share them even though you said that you guys are at EP 6 because they're just so interesting and i really love them

The Last Dragonheart 15K (T) by Ace_Teagirl, ChapChaph

It reads very DND Dragonborn Inspired

Dragonlords can easily be recognized by their lizard-like features. They sported scales on some parts of their body and had snake-like eyes. When the Great Dragon attacks Camelot, Arthur and Merlin set out to find Balinor, the last of the Dragonlords. But when Balinor dies on their way to Camelot, his gift is passed down to his son, Merlin. With the distinctive features of Dragonlords, there's no way for Merlin to hide his true nature from Arthur.

what serpent heart did ever dragon seek 38K (T) by ChapChaph, fictified

Lots of dragon lore, i have a soft spot for any fantasy lore, or just the use of mythology in general.

“Don’t come closer,” Merlin begs, throwing an arm out, and that– the hand attached to that arm is what halts Arthur in his place. It's blood-drenched from whatever lifesaving measures he might have attempted, but more importantly, where the back of it was pale and smooth the last time Arthur looked, it is now covered in what look like dragon scales. An alternate take on series 2 episode 13, The Last Dragonlord.

Well that's all for today, i hope she likes them, please feel free to let me know about your thoughts i would love to hear from you guys! i tried to get this out as quickly as possible for you, i wrote this at work so if there's any mistakes please excuse them.

I'd like to preface that these are all newer fics from this year that I've read quite recently. i tend to read around 15-25 short fics per day and around 4-7 medium to long fics per day ( I'm constantly sleep deprived lmao), so i suggest going through them yourself before giving them to her just in case i made a mistake! Please also let me know so io can fix it for you<3

Hope to hear from you again soon! Thank you for your asks!

[emryslore]

hello!!! i’m forcing my friend to watch merlin for the very first time and we’ve just finished season one. she’s loving it so far (as she should) and asked if i had any merthur fics that wouldn’t spoil the rest of the show that she could read now so she didn’t go digging through the tags and have anything spoiled for her. do you have any recs i could send her way?

Hi anon!! Of course i could find some!! Where is she at with the show? So i can know which tags to avoid for you.

Tag: Slytherin Harry Potter

a shot of self-esteem and half a glass of self-love 37.3K (E) by serpentsealed

(There is another part of his brain which cannot help but indulge the idea that Dumbledore would find this all so painfully amusing, as if he wasn’t orchestrating his own Wizard’s Chess match with Harry and Malfoy on opposite sides, inching them closer and closer and closer still, and then, for the past seven years, each time it looked like they were moments from crashing into one another, he pulled them back to where they started, and it began anew.) And thus, it begins anew.

Nearly 767K (T) by gonattsaga

In a parallel reality, Sirius Black never chases after Peter Pettigrew the night the Potters are killed, but instead stays to take care of Harry. He ends up adopting him and raising him together with his partner Remus Lupin. A small change that has a ripple effect on Harry's personality and life.

Recursion 132K (E) by Tessa Crowley (tessacrowley)

A process is recursive when it defines or contains itself; e.g., the Fibonacci sequence, which determines the next number as the sum of the previous two. But not all recursive processes are mathematical. Recursion can happen in a temporal context when, for instance, the powerful magical force that is true love drags you back in time so it can create itself, endangering the fate of the Wizarding World—not to mention the very fabric of space and time—along the way.

Under Dragon Wings 182K (T) by bafflinghaze

Being able to turn into a dragon is not all its cracked up to be, not when Draco has to navigate an increasingly fractious Hogwarts, Death Eaters, and anti-Death Eaters—and lead his Slytherins to safety through all of it. And if Potter becomes one of his Slytherins, then he’ll have to...treat him nicely too. (the horror!)

Silver Runes and a Waterlogged Grave 1 118K (M) by WhiteSturgeon

What if instead of coming back after Voldemort killed him in the forest, Harry decided to give himself to Death? What if Death had plans for him? Time Travel, Slytherin Harry, Draco-Centric

[emryslore]

Due to work training I haven't really been reading as much or been able to make list, but the worst is over soon and I'll get right back to it❤️

Thank you guys for all of the lovely support

I never thought people would actually see my posts and it really means a lot to me.

Fandom can be a lonely place sometimes but just seeing that there are people out there who enjoy the same things that I do really makes me very happy!

Have a blessed day everyone!

Do you take sterek recs yourself? Just finished reading The Bonds that Bind by applejuice382 and it’s actually SO good. Soulmate au where Derek doesn’t tell Stiles they’re soulmates, the two get captured and held prisoner in a basement alone together, druids force a mating bond on them, and then Derek keeps that a secret too. They slowly grow closer and have to rely on each other after being tortured all the time, all the while Derek is angsting over his mate and it’s just… ugh. Chef’s kiss. The author actually does a really good job with their canon personalities imo with their dialogue and dynamic, which surprised me. It’s 120k right now but it’s close to finishing and I’ve been refreshing my email every day for it

Hi Anon! yes i do take recs! I'm very excited to check this out it sounds spectacular! Thank you so much!

[emryslore]

"We could go anywhere."

Would you be willing to do a sterek rec list for stiles kicked outta the pack, that's my very fav!

Are there steter kicked outta the pack? I don't really read steter, but I might for that tag, lol

Hi Anon!!

Thank you so much for the ask!

Here you go, some Stiles gets kicked/pushed out of the pack!

Please enjoy!!

I have a few steter ones I think you'll love with his tag. It's quite popular in steter after all.

Let's start off with Sterek for you and then I'll add a few Steter options at the end you can check out if you'd like.

Unexpected Results 16K (T) by pixieblade

What do you do when the people you are supposed to trust, betray you in the worst possible way? What would you do if someone offered you a way out?

Get You The Moon 180K (E) by AClosedFicIsNeverRead

Please make sure to read the tags on this one, it does touch on some heavy topics.

Derek looked up in surprise to note that they were taking a private jet. Dread settled into his gut like a stone. “It has a cage, doesn’t it?” he asked quietly, and noted the subtle changes in his family members’ posture. “Is it for me?” Cora gave him a pleading look and nodded. “Is it because of what you’re going to tell me?” he asked, voice like gravel. Another nod confirmed it. Stiles. Oh, GOD. It had to be Stiles. Derek would not lose control over anyone else in Beacon Hills and they damned well knew it. - OR - The one where Derek has been gone for 6 months building a new life, finds out that Stiles is being assaulted by Theo, so he comes back to Beacon Hills to kick some serious ass and rescue the loudmouthed human who stole his heart. (You will need ALL the tissues, but it will have a happy ending by the time all is said and done!) Title inspired by song: ‘Get You The Moon’ by Kina ft. Snow

Magical "Girl" 101 (A Guide by Stiles Stilinski) 18K (T) by Cute_Magical

When Stiles had been kicked out of the pack, he expected many things to happen. However, finding a magic book, gaining both a small and large flying magical companion, and a whole lot of unwanted responsibilities were not any of those things. Unlikely allies, magical abilities, newfound strength, and budding new relationships come together in Stiles's adventure of collecting clow cards. Oh, and he also gets rich… mostly through credit card fraud. You do not have to know Cardcaptor Sakura to read this fic. Updates weeklyy/Bi-weekly possibly sooner.

It takes a village 87K (M) by pixieblade

Stiles is tired. He's tired of always having to defend himself to his so-called best friend. He's tired of being ignored and he's tired of the Pack never having his back. So this is his line. He'd draw it in the sand, but all he has is a glitter sharpie. It'll have to do.

A Healing Silence 36K (NR) by HelloWhyTheFuckAmIHere

Stiles is slowly pushed out of the pack following his fight with Scott about Donovan's death. After receiving a phone number from an old friend, Stiles is surprised to find that it belongs to the one person who may be able to bring him back to himself.

bonus Steter

I'm a big Steter fan so I really hope you like these!

Hanging On by a Single Bond 38K (M) by Takara_Phoenix

Stiles' way of dealing with his own pain and grief had always been to instead take care of others. After Gerard, the Hale Pack becomes his pet-project. That includes self-proclaimed lone wolf Peter. Then things get messy. The Hale Pack seemingly ends when Derek gives up the Alpha spark, the McCall Pack forms, Stiles gets possessed. And, confusingly enough, Peter takes care of him.

Filament 42K (E) by WhoopsOK

Peter is still a fringe member of the pack, tied in by the faintest bit of respect for his bloodline keeping him from going full feral. It pisses Stiles off worse, just for a moment, that for all that everyone hates Peter, for all that they mistrust him, he’s still more welcome in this ‘pack’ than Stiles is. Held on by a thread and a prayer to whatever devil let him resurrect himself. The fact that Peter is suddenly the only one who will meet his eyes should not be comforting, but it makes sense in the grand scheme of things, doesn’t it? Stiles is more like Peter than Scott is able to trust, but the pack is willing to let Peter burn if it comes down to it. Judging by the resigned amusement on Peter’s face, he knows it, too. “For what it’s worth,” he says drily, “I told Scott he’s a fool for letting you go.” His smirk is a sinister thing when he continues, “I can’t wait to watch you prove it, sweetheart.” (After Stiles is pushed out of the pack, Peter does his best to hold onto the fragile bond between them. Stiles, as it turns out, is doing the same.)

Midnight Rain 19K (T) by vMures

Stiles knew in that moment that it was over. Scott would always be sunshine–would always want a world where things were clear-cut and easy. Villains wore black hats and good guys never killed. And Stiles, well, he’d always been the rain–the gray, pessimistic counterpoint to Scott’s unrelenting optimism. And after everything he’d survived, he knew he’d never see the world in anything other than shades of gray.
