You're My Home by Zorbo_Jorks and The_Questing_Beast
Summary:
Merlin is enamored with Mithian the moment he sets his eyes on her. But she has eyes for Arthur, and he seems to like her right back, despite what Merlin knows of his true heart's desire. But as the years pass and Morgana grows more powerful and desperate to throw her forces against Arthur, Mithian and Merlin find their wills tested, and their affections for one another complicating the battling forces that threaten them. Or, The Hunter's Heart and Another's Sorrow, told as a love story between a manservant of Camelot and the Princess of Nemeth.

and when I run low, you fill me up by Shana_Rose & Sunfall of Ennien
I was incredibly lucky, and on my first @bbcmerlin-reversebang got paired up with the brilliant Sunfall! (tumblr: @merthurotica)
Summary: The door opened with a click. He held his breath, was it Pendragon? A man about the same height as Merlin came through the door. The man was, frankly, utterly gorgeous. Blond and broad-shouldered in a perfectly tailored suit. His cropped beard was the only thing about him that didn’t quite fit his clean-cut look, but Merlin didn’t mind, on the contrary, he rather liked the rugged feeling it gave the man. - To take down Uther and his evil corporation, Merlin takes on a mission as a sex worker to seduce his son, Arthur Pendragon but things don't go quite as planned.

Merlin BBC Reverse Bang 2024/25 - Ancient Wisdom
Author: @arrowlovesdragons Arthis: @griffonskies Rating: Teen and up Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Summary: When Merlin accidentally activates a spell of good fortune, he and Arthur find themselves unable to stop tripping and falling over each other, but how on earth does that correspond to "good fortune?"

These are the illustrations I did for this year BBC Merlin Reverse Bang, I was lucky to work with @salamandair , she made a marvelous story, The Talking Dead , please go and read it!
Summary:
It’s been six years since the zombie apocalypse began and Merlin’s long since lost all hope of ever seeing his king return, only doing what he can to help the little gang of survivors he found survive. He’s just fine living like that. Until one day, while he and a few of the survivors spot a peculiar looking zombie while looking for supplies. [Written for BBC Merlin Reverse Big Bang 2025]

Aaand here is the art I created with @aroaceteagirl for the @bbcmerlin-reversebang! There was so much cuteness in this fic and I was super excited drawing some delicious starstruck Arthur!! I will not give spoilers here, but I cannot recommend it enough so please go enjoy this beautiful fic!! As a bonus there's another illustration in there, so if you're interested go check it out!
The Last Dragonheart (15,266 words) by Ace_Teagirl and me!
Summary:
"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."

Until the Stars by BeBraveDearHeart and ImagineDragonlords
Summary: At the moment King Arthur died after the Battle of Camlann, Merlin made a promise:
“I will find you, Arthur. In every life you live, until the stars fade from the sky.”
Destiny heard him, and the promise was kept through countless lifetimes, both of them drawn together...one way or another.

What if I love you way too much? by Brechtjeeatscheese and Sunfall_of_Ennien
Summary: Arthur’s boyfriend Lance breaks up with him in a restaurant and after another fight with his dad Arthur decides he’s had enough. He impulsively signs a contract to work in Amsterdam hoping that will help him get some perspective on things.
Que Merlin, a cute sex worker who Arthur decides to date just to have some fun. But when he gets to know Merlin better, Arthur finds himself falling in love with Merlin. This means having to face what that means for him and his life back in the UK.
Arthur realises he hasn’t always done things right but he really wants to be a better boyfriend for the love of his life. Even if that means crossing his own boundaries…

Merlin BBC Reverse Bang 2024/25 - Bear With Me
Author: @bluegrasssax Arthis: @griffonskies Rating: Teen and Up Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Summary:
Living with the druids has done wonders for Merlin's attunement with nature, and each day feels like something new altogether. When a day in the woods is interrupted by a shiver up his spine, he's horrified to find a royal interloper disrupting the balance, and worse, he doesn't even seem to realise! When the gods decide to intervene and set things right - in their own way - Merlin vows to help his new companion fix things, whether the fluffy clotpole likes it or not.

I had a blast working together with @fictivecircle for the @bbcmerlin-reversebang! These two pieces were so fun to make and I hope I made justice to their amazing fic. There's another one that is only in there, partially because I didn't want to post it twice and also as a incentive to get anyone interested to go check it out, so... here it is!
What serpent heart did ever dragon seek (38.515 words) by fictified and me!
Summary:
"“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 had been pale and smooth the last time Arthur had looked, it is now covered in what look like dragon scales."

Merlin BBC REverse Bang 2024/2025 - Free Skate
Author: @slantedknitting Artist: @caethes
Rating: Teen and Up Paring: Merlin/Arthur
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
When Merlin moves to Camelot with his mum, he does his best to blend in and make friends. He doesn’t expect to fall in with his mum’s choreography clients, the figure skating pairs team of Arthur and Morgana. They’re preparing for the debut on the senior level, and Merlin keeps getting roped into filming them practising a new lift. Arthur keeps offering to film Merlin skating, too, but Merlin absolutely cannot let that happen if he doesn’t want to reveal his secret. Besides, shouldn’t Arthur be focused on his pairs partner?

Merlin BBC Reverse Bang 2024/25 - Mitosis and its Consequences
Author: @ramblings-of-a-chaotic-neutral Arthis: @griffonskies Rating: Teen and Up Pairing: Merlin/Arthur Summary:
“Merlin, do you know this fiend? Has he threatened you into allowing him to take your appearance somehow?!” “Yes, I do know him, but he hasn’t stolen my appearance or anything of the like. It is, technically, his face too.” Arthur’s brows furrowed with confusion. What was Merlin going on about now? “This really wasn’t the introduction I would have liked, but I guess it’s too late for that now. Everyone, I’d like you all to meet my twin brother, Emrys.” ~ After a ritual gone wrong, Merlin's soul is split into two different bodies: one with magic and one without. And because destiny apparently had it out for him, the knights catch both of them in the same place. Without any better explanation, Merlin blurts out the only believable lie that he can think of: that the two identical Merlins are twin brothers.

For Now or Forever [ART MASTERPOST]
Distressed by the impossible workload Uther has given his son, Merlin accidentally summons a second Arthur, an act that goes against every law of magic he knows.
Second Arthur is adamant that he cannot be for the long term. However, addressing the unknown magic situation is fraught with potential danger, and Merlin knows he cannot be the one to “unmake” Arthur.
Soon, Merlin finds himself dividing his time between serving two royal prats, one of whom now knows about his magic and shows himself to return Merlin’s romantic feelings.
As if things were not complicated enough, however, everything is not as it seems.
Merlin’s fate, and that of both Arthurs, hangs in the balance.

Merlin BBC Reverse Bang 2024/25 - The Aurora Borealis of Destiny
Author: thetreeofwillow Arthis: griffonskies Rating: Teen and Up Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Summary:
“Well,” Arthur starts in his snippiest tone, and Merlin’s stomach sinks into the ground at it. He's aware that Arthur blames him, and he can’t even really blame him for that, because the whole thing kind of was his fault. “Well. Are you happy with yourself, Merlin? Are you pleased with your brilliant plan? Your oh-so-excellent plan, which has left us stranded in the middle of the woods with no food, no horses, no knights, and no hope of getting to Caerleon in time." “You didn’t think it was such a terrible plan when it saved your life!” Merlin yells back. ~~ A skirmish with a pack of unhappy sorcerers leaves Merlin and Arthur stranded with no resources in the middle of the snow. A simple task of walking to Caerleon becomes just a little more difficult when ancient magic ignites itself, leading to banter, longing and even a water fight.
