Merlin one-shots:

"Unlucky (Five, Six, Seven Eight Nine Ten I Love You)," Arthur/Merlin, R, 1.3K words.
[ AO3 | LJ | DW ]

Somewhere along his thirteen years of existence, this incarnation had gone horribly wrong. It undoubtedly would not matter in the grand scheme of life and rebirth; his brief life here would barely leave a stamp on the long sequence of Arthur Pendragon-Arthur King-Arthur Blackwell-Arthur Davis-Arthur Riley-Arthur Orson-Arthur Penn and back to Arthur Pendragon again.

[...]

Perhaps that, right there, was where it went wrong. They were greedy for time, and now they both had to pay the price. He had not seen or heard from Merlin in seven months and nineteen days.

"Mutants: Second Generation," gen, Arthur/Merlin pre-slash, PG-13, ~9K words, X-Men: First Class fusion.
[ AO3 | DW ]

"Elena has the most beautiful complexion and dark brown hair," Merlin remarked.

Godwyn smiled, looking in the direction of the refreshment table, where Elena was talking to a hopeful suitor and, stumbling over nothing, promptly spilling a plate of hors d’oeuvres all over the young man's pristine suit.

"It's so interesting considering you and your wife have fair skin and blond hair," Merlin said.

Godwyn whipped around to face him. "I beg your pardon."

Oh god. What did Merlin say now, he could hear Morgana's sharp, crystalline thought from across the ballroom.

"More Precious Than (The Found Something Good Remix)," Arthur/Merlin, PG-13, 1.5K words.
[ AO3 | DW ]

When Will had discovered that Merlin was magic, he had promptly accused him of cheating at skipping stones, something Merlin had vehemently denied. He had only conceded the point when he had broken Merlin’s record at twelve skips the following week.

Merlin was months out of practice, so his first two stones only skipped five and six times. He shifted his angle slightly, and the third stone skipped nine times before sinking. He grinned, lifting his arms in quiet triumph.

“I finally found something you’re good at.”

Merlin spun around, almost tripping over his own feet.

"Five Moments in the Life of Arthur Pendragon, St. Albion Student and Sleep-deprived Boyfriend of Merlin," Arthur/Merlin, PG-13, 1.8K words.
[ AO3 | DW ]

“I hate you so much right now,” Arthur said, voice roughened with sleep.

Merlin grinned. “That’s not what you said last night. The words ‘brilliant’ and ‘so amazing’ were used. In fact, I believe you promised me a pony of my very own.”

"Boys' Night Out," Arthur/Merlin modern-day!AU flashfic, PG-13.

7. At a party you must not go around telling everyone that your Bro is gay and looking for male company tonight.

"Oh, Arthur? He picked me up in this gay bar. It's tragic, really, he has such a healthy sexual appetite but I'm afraid I don't have the stamina to keep up with him. Speaking of which, we're looking into the possibility of polyamoury. You wouldn't know anyone who'd be interested–"

"Four in the Afternoon," Arthur and Merlin friendship, PG, 1.5K words, Little Prince fusion.
[ AO3 | DW ]

"If you come at four in the afternoon, then when three o'clock strikes my heart will know to be happy."

Arthur met Merlin in the park and made him his friend.

"King’s Ward Is a Vampyr; Prince’s Manservant Was Sucked Dry! (Or, Everything is Not As It Seems)," Merlin/?, R, 888 words.

The last thing* Merlin expected when he opened his chamber door was a breathless Morgana dressed in her nightgown.

“Morgana! What’s wrong? Did you have another nightmare?”

"The Tome of Magical Delights," Merlin/Arthur, soft R.

Merlin was bored. Arthur was away on some diplomatic visit*, and he would not be back for at least another fortnight. When the third Arthur-less day rolled around, Gaius had refused to tolerate Merlin's moping any longer. So here he was, skulking behind the dusty tomes in the library.

Scanning the spines before him, he noticed that one of them was defaced. He traced the carved letters with his finger.

"The Tome of...Masterful Delights? Musical Delights?" The letters sparked suddenly, and Merlin yelped.

"Enchanted No More," one-sided Vivian/Arthur, Vivian/Leon, 500 words.

Vivian didn't remember when her fascination with Arthur Pendragon started. One day he was the odious son of her father's business partner and, by the next, he shone gold like knights of old.

Merlin drabble series:

【The Cupbearer drabble series】, Merlin/Arthur half-brother AU, PG-13 for incest

Everyone knew that the cupbearer title was created to give the king’s bastard a court position.

Nobody expected the cupbearer to willfully drink poison meant for the crown prince.

【Seven Deadly Sins drabble set】 [ AO3 ]

Sloth & Pride are companion drabbles. Everything else stands on its own. All seven links below open to a single page.

"Wrath" - Uther, Igraine, G
( Given time, perhaps his queen could have tempered his iron grip )

"Envy" - Morgana, PG
( If only she could trade her visions )

Merlin gen drabbles:

"The Aftermath," implied Merlin/Arthur, PG-13 for gore and implied violence.

When he finally came to, the scene that greeted him was from a nightmare.

"When the Match Burns Out," Gwen, Tom.

“But why did she do that?” Gwen's brown eyes looked wounded.

Her father hid a wince. Hans Christian Andersen was perhaps not the best bedtime story.

"Knight and Dragon's Tea Party," Arthur, Morgana, Merlin.

"Arthur, what are you doing with my tea tray?"

"This isn't your tea tray; it's my chest plate!" Arthur informed his sister smugly.

"Discovery," Arthur gen, implied Arthur/Merlin.

He swallowed again.

"Are you sure?" He looked into the knight's eyes, willing him to change his answer.

"For the Thirty-first Time," Will, Merlin, Gaius, implied Arthur/Merlin.

Merlin seriously regretted telling Will that today was his and Arthur’s one-month anniversary.

"The Non-Vegetarian Option," Hunith, Merlin, implied Arthur/Merlin.

“When you leave, take some of the beef stew home with you.”

Merlin swallowed his spoonful of stew and nodded. “Yes, Mum.”

"Important Conversation (The Awkward Secrets Remix)," Gwen, Merlin, PG.

"I'm sometimes bad at receiving other people's signals. Not as bad as you, obviously—"

Merlin gave Gwen a confused little smile.

"Namesake," Merlin/Harry Potter crossover drabble.

“We have five Harrys and one Albus in our year. I suppose we’re bound to have a Merlin sooner or later.”

Adding a half-stir to his potion, Merlin Emrys gave a noncommittal hum.

"Golden Children," Arthur & dragon gen.

When Arthur was six, he faced down a dragon with a wooden sword.

The dragon (a monster as big as a mountain!) took one look at his toy sword and snorted.

"Overheard in a Bar," Merlin & Gwen, PG.

"I saw him first!" Merlin protested.

"He smiled at me!"

♦ ◊ ♦ ◊ ♦ ◊ ♦ ◊ ♦ ◊ ♦ ◊ ♦ ◊ ♦ ◊ ♦ ◊ ♦

Merlin slash drabbles:

"A Prince's Favour (The Rights of Possession Remix)," implied Arthur/Merlin & Uther/Merlin.

“A prince’s favour is a precious commodity,” his father once told him before taking his favourite horse away.

"Familiar," Arthur/Merlin, R.

"You look familiar."

Merlin sighed. Was it too much to ask the man to just shut up, stand there and look pretty? He was doing all the work here after all.

"Blue-eyed Stranger," Arthur/Merlin reincarnation, PG.

Merlin desperately wanted to believe him.

"The Headmaster's Son," Arthur/Merlin, PG-13.

Of all the barely legal men out there, why did he fixate on the headmaster’s son?

"Cupid Undone," Merlin/Arthur, PG-13 for incest.
[ AO3 ]

If only our parents had stayed together, we wouldn’t have ended up in this awkward situation.

Deep in his heart, Arthur knew this was a lie.

"Uncharted Territory," one-sided Arthur/Merlin, Merlin/Freya, PG.

Arthur often ribbed Merlin about Professor Nimueh or his flatmate Gwen, but this was uncharted territory.

"First Time," Merlin/Arthur, PG-13.

The first time Merlin kissed Arthur, they were standing on an ocean of grass.

"Sunday Taste," Merlin/Arthur, PG-13.

Sunday tradition dictates Merlin showing up at nine bearing breakfast, just in time to greet Arthur from his morning run.

"Extracurricular Service," implied Merlin/Arthur, PG-13 for suggestiveness.

"Well, this is awkward," Merlin said from his kneeling position on the floor.

"A Prince's Flavour," Arthur/Merlin.

"Merlin! Come here and explain this!"

"Yes, Arthur?"

Arthur waved at his laptop screen. "What's this—this pornographic poem you've posted for all the world to see?"

"A Less-Than-Mystical Evening," Arthur/Merlin.

"When you said 'a mystical evening on the beach,' this was not what I expected."

Merlin flopsies:
"In the Middle," Arthur/Merlin/Lancelot, shades of OT5, PG-13, 150 words.

It’s not that Merlin hates being in the middle. Arthur’s bed is big enough for three grown men, especially if one is as skinny as Merlin. It’s just that the king and the first knight always gravitate to the middle, effectively quashing him.

"Sunflowers and Motorcycle Helmet," pre-Gwen/Lancelot, PG, 150 words.

Lancelot walked to the counter and handed her a bouquet. "Here."

"Oh, um..." She reflexively clutched the armful, eyes widening at the riot of colours. Her bouquet seemed so shoddy compared to this masterpiece. The vivid sunflowers, interspersed with wildflowers, were beautiful, but they were her favourite, not Morgana's—

"Garlic and Pink Gloss," Arthur/Merlin modernday!AU flopsy, PG-13.

"Should I be wearing garlic?" Merlin asked his boyfriend with his Calm Voice.

"What are you talking about, Merlin?" Arthur, still scrutinizing his reflection in the mirror, raised an eyebrow.

"Wedding of the Century Decked out in Ivory and Gold," Arthur/Merlin, R.

"It's not a dress," 24-years-old Emrys could be heard insisting at various points of the ceremony. "If Merlin wants to wear a dress to his dream wedding, I'm the last person who'd stop him," said Pendragon, who had opted for the more conventional tuxedo route. "Besides, he looks hot in that dress."

WANTED: Royal Personal Attendant, Arthur/Merlin.

RESPONSIBILITIES:
◆ Undress, bathe and shave the crown prince.
No way am I trusting you with sharp objects Do you even have facial hair, Merlin? I don't understand why your face is so clean-shaven and so smooth that I want to lick it all over.

"Delicacy," Merlin/Arthur, PG.

Arthur looked at the unwrapped brown pellets on the silver tray dubiously. They didn’t look particularly edible, for a supposed foreign delicacy.

Merlin made a humming noise that was probably meant to be encouraging.

Merlin crossovers/fusions:

"Mutants: Second Generation," gen, Arthur/Merlin pre-slash, PG-13, ~9K words, X-Men: First Class fusion.
[ AO3 | DW ]

"Elena has the most beautiful complexion and dark brown hair," Merlin remarked.

Godwyn smiled, looking in the direction of the refreshment table, where Elena was talking to a hopeful suitor and, stumbling over nothing, promptly spilling a plate of hors d’oeuvres all over the young man's pristine suit.

"It's so interesting considering you and your wife have fair skin and blond hair," Merlin said.

Godwyn whipped around to face him. "I beg your pardon."

Oh god. What did Merlin say now, he could hear Morgana's sharp, crystalline thought from across the ballroom.

"Four in the Afternoon," Arthur and Merlin friendship, PG, 1.5K words, Little Prince fusion.
[ AO3 | DW ]

"If you come at four in the afternoon, then when three o'clock strikes my heart will know to be happy."

Arthur met Merlin in the park and made him his friend.

"Namesake," Merlin/Harry Potter crossover drabble.

“We have five Harrys and one Albus in our year. I suppose we’re bound to have a Merlin sooner or later.”

Adding a half-stir to his potion, Merlin Emrys gave a noncommittal hum.

"The Half-Brother Plan," crossover with Good Omens. Part of The Cupbearer drabble series.

"I thought his half-sister* was the one who’d betray him?"

"That was the initial plan, but with a half-brother we can have rivalry, backstabbing and all those fun** court machinations."

Merlin haiku, fanart, etc.:

きみがいなけりゃ息もできない (I can't even breathe without you), Merlin/Arthur haiku, PG-13, implied erotic asphyxiation.

"A Prince's Flavour," a Post Secret with Arthur/Merlin haiku.

"Merlin has a not-so-secret addiction to cute fridge magnets," Arthur/Merlin Post-it conversations.

Teen Wolf drabbles & one-shot:

My Teen Wolf stuff are all up on AO3. WIPs aren't listed here.

"Hi my name is," Stiles, Jackson & Scott drabble, G.

"You're not Batman; you're just a kid!"

"Playing Rough," Laura, Derek & Cora Hale drabble, G.

"Laura, the baby just hit me!" wailed a voice from the living room.

Laura sighed and left her spelling homework on the dining table.

"Toeses aren't roses," Stiles & Scott drabble, G.

"Danny can get away with the Hot Girl dance. I look stupid if I just stand there and sway." Stiles sulked.

"3x01: Girl with the Werewolf Ink," Teen Wolf ensemble feat. racebent!genderbent!Aiden.

In this fake script excerpt, Stiles grows instantly suspicious of new students Hayden and Ethan Park, tries to enlist Scott and Isaac's help, and ends up involving Derek.

"Dude, we need to get you a cell phone," Stiles says to Isaac. "If you're going to violate the beautiful brotp that is Scott and me," he says, gesturing at Scott and himself, "the very least you can do is make your presence beneficial to me."

The past few hours, he has been frantically texting Scott about the possibility of Hayden being a werewolf from the alpha pack. Predictably, Scott has texted back, "i dun kno. maybe?"

Good Omens drabbles (& drabblet):

"Three facts about Aziraphale from my personal canon/fanon"

1) Aziraphale can read books as fast as he can physically turn pages*. However, he chooses to read at human speed** while occasionally sipping from a teacup.

"But I do feel sorry for the poor children," Crowley, Hansel and Gretel.

Better to share the last bite, you say?

Your wish is my command,
humble woodcutter,
Sir*

"A reason Aziraphale is awesomecakes"


"Reading Omens in Harry Potter"

"Crowley! You lying devil!"

Crowley turned to see who had stated the most obvious thing in the world.*

"The Half-Brother Plan," crossover with BBC Merlin. Part of The Cupbearer drabble series.

"I thought his half-sister* was the one who’d betray him?"

"That was the initial plan, but with a half-brother we can have rivalry, backstabbing and all those fun** court machinations."

"Waiting for the Bus"

She should've known better than to go to Chinatown for lunch. But she was sick of the cafeteria sandwiches at her building, and the lettuce they served is wilted--

A Brahms orchestra suddenly welled up in the background, cutting off the tirade in her mind.

A man donning dark sunglasses** suddenly materialized next to the mild-looking man. "Strange accompaniment for a bus stop, don't you think?"

Good Omens/Harry Potter drabble

“To reward all of you for being punctual to your NEWT Ethics class, take five points for each of your Houses,” said the man whose looks are vaguely reminiscent of Gilderoy Lockhart—were Lockhart to wear old-fashioned, somber-coloured Muggle clothes.

Good Omens drabble

“And which alabaster neck am I feasting on tonight?”

Star Trek: XI drabbles (& flopsy):

"Three facts about Spock from my personal canon/fanon," Spock/Uhura.

2. A Vulcan would find Spock and Uhura’s interaction inappropriate. Since there was no other Vulcan in the Academy, nobody noticed when Spock's gaze on Uhura lingered an extra 0.3 second.

"Five people Jim Kirk never slept with (and one he did)," Kirk/Spock.

2. Bones: Jim would tap that grumpy Southern doctor so hard, except Bones was the only best friend he had. And painfully straight besides. (They never talked of the My Divorce Papers Came Through Incident.)

"Four people Chekov never fell in love with (and one he did)," Sulu/Chekov.

1. Captain Kirk always flirts, and he doesn't have an "off" switch. Chekov is relieved that the Captain only teases him by calling him "Ensign Jailbait."

Hetalia drabble (& flopsies):

"At Arthur's office," Francis and Arthur, 200 words. Part of daigakulia 'verse.

"That blond kid Vash is so rude!" Francis said without preamble upon entering Arthur's office.

"He accused me of flirting with his younger sister; Middle-aged men shouldn't try to pick up barely legal students. How rude! I’m barely in my thirties!"

"...Move your hand away from my papers," Arthur said, not even looking up from the papers he was grading.

"The birth of Canadian cuisine," Canada, France and America, 150 words.

"Matthew, I'm done. What did you want me fo—DEAR LORD what is that thing you're eating?!"

Both Canada and his bear had a ring of grease around their mouth.

"Al's brother," Matthew and Chelle, Gakuen Hetalia AU, 100 words.

"All my life teachers, classmates, random uncles...nobody remembers my name. My own dad often calls me Al-no-I-meant-Matthew."

Chelle made a clicking sound that was probably meant to be sympathetic.

Miscellaneous drabbles:

"The Cobweb of Family Secrets," BBC Sherlock, John and Harry.

“Tell me about your flatmate.”

“What’d you like to know?” John asked his sister warily.

"The Happy Princess (Love-lies-in-tragedy Remix)," Death Note, Rem, Misa.

“Once upon a time, there was a death god who religiously watched over a human princess—”

“The princess is a symbol. She is indispensable to him (And to me). He loves her (I love you, Misa).”

"Six Impossible Things (Seth’s Morning List Remix)," The O.C., Seth/Ryan.

1. Only sesame seed bagels left, and no cream cheese. My life, ladies and gentlemen.

"Thirty Years Later (Bus Memory #37)," Loveless, Ritsuka, OFC, mentioned Ritsuka/Soubi, G, 150 words.

“Where are you heading to?” The young woman sitting next to him asked. Ritsuka was still not used to perfect strangers striking up conversations with him on public transportations.
