Summary
Based on this tumblr post:
Arthur is gifted a device that let's him visit alternate realities.
And because he wants a safe way back, he only ever changes what he knows about Merlin. Because he knows no one better than Merlin.
"what if Merlin was a girl."
"what if Merlin never came to Camelot."
"what if merlin was an evil sorcerer."
Up until the last one, Arthur found his other self dead in every reality. Then, in the last one, Merlin and him are apparently ruling together. Arthur is confused. But apparently evil sorcerer Merlin only killed Arthur's enemies without remorse. Which is.... Interesting, he thinks.
"What if Merlin hated me."
The world is destroyed. Arthur is terrified.
"I want Merlin back. My Merlin. The magicless, clumsy servant of mine." He wants to go home. To his safe haven. His not perfect reality, but the one he knows.
Only he ends up in a reality where magic doesn't even exist.On indefinite hiatus

Summary
Cocooned in the sweat-slick linens of the physician’s chambers, Arthur realises the world has shrunk down to two points. The inescapable bone-deep ache that pounds through his body, and Merlin’s wide-eyed gaze peering down at him, concern so disproportionate that it is simply ridiculous.

Summary
If serving Arthur was Merlin's destiny, then why was Morgana the one he felt inexorably drawn to?
Every time his thoughts followed this trail, he felt the press of the dragon’s prophecy, the beast's rasping words so potent it was as if they were etched into his skin like scales. Arthur was the one he was meant to serve. Arthur was the one who would make it safe for magic users to thrive once again in Camelot.
So why was it Morgana he couldn’t help but fixate on?
--
OR A Morgana-centric BBC Merlin rewrite in which Merlin doesn't blindly listen to Gaius and finds connection with Morgana amongst the dangers of Uther's court. Burdened by destiny but hounded by desire, Merlin navigates the treacherous path of fate. Morgana attempts to walk the righteous road but makes difficult, and often bad, choices in her quest for a just world.

Summary
Back in Camelot, Arthur and Merlin had a running joke between them in which Arthur had a list of absurd laws that he added to whenever Merlin pushed his buttons. In the 21st century, the documents are discovered and all the world-renowned historians can do is debate the context of the laws and the nature of King Arthur's relationship with his manservant.

Summary
After Arthur disobeyed his father and retrieved the Mortaeus flower for Merlin's cure, Arthur's frantic pleading to save Merlin led to a misunderstanding that actually convinced Uther to take the flower to Gaius.
Now all Arthur has to do is explain to Merlin why Uther thinks they are lovers.
And while Uther is supportive of the relationship, he requires it kept secret. But in his paranoia, Uther misinterprets every innocent interaction between the two as something far more intimate, to the embarrassment of everyone involved.
And then the knights begin showing up...

Summary
Gwen once saw Merlin lick an apple before giving it to the Prince Regent.
She knew, of course, that he regularly stole food from Arthur’s plate before serving it; Gwen typically didn’t think anything of it. Surely Arthur would have made a fuss years ago, if it bothered him. The two of them had always had a peculiar and certainly unconventional working relationship.
