I started this blog post ages ago. I am not even sure when I read the first Merlin fic, but it was somewhere last autumn, I think so at least. The thing just was that I did not have time for fics or my blog or anything at all. So I ignored this and thought I would do it next week. So here we are, literally months later and I have this huge problem with picking six fics.
Anyways. I am not that huge fan of the tv show. It is just something that I use as background noise when doing puzzles. Yea. My attention span is pretty close to zero. But because I was bored and I knew that there are a lot of Merlin fics out there, I just had to try reading them. Boredom is a huge factor in my reasoning to do stuff. And I liked the fics. I really did. So now I just have one more fandom that I can get lost into. Okay. I know. I have to actually watch the show at some point, I can't just stop to the second season. But that is something future I can deal with.
So. About the fics. I wanted something different for this one. Or at least that was the idea with the first ones. But I may have lost the point somewhere because there were just so many fics where to choose from and I may have just randomly picked a couple of them. Maybe. But here we go. 5 + 1 Merlin fics where Merlin and Arthur are idiots together. Have fun!

Arthur just needed to know that he could take a good dick pic. He wasn't going to do anything with it, obviously. It was just an experiment, just a test he had to prove to himself that he could pass.
Drunk Arthur had other ideas, though. Who knew there were people online willing to review other people's dick pics?
And frankly, Arthur was never going to settle for anything less than an A+.
I am not sure if this is crack or something else. At least I have never read anything like this before. And I loved every single second I was reading this. Like who wouldn't? Also. If there is a blog that actually rates people's dick pics, send me a link. I want to see that shit and maybe laugh myself to death,. Yep. That sounds like a perfect idea for a boring Friday night at home.
THE RULES by Slayer_of_Destiny
After the events of The Coming of Arthur, the new Knights settle into Camelot. They are introduced by the more experienced Knights to THE RULES of actually being a Knight. To their bemusement, most of it is protecting Merlin. The Knights have spent years trying to protect Merlin, it is their duty. Even when it comes to Arthur and entrusting Merlin's heart to him. Slash
I don't even remember what was the actual plot in there. But that is not so important. More important part is how everyone just loves Merlin. Everyone wants to protect Merlin (Arthur included). And that is just something so precius that it needs to be looked after and have it's own fic. Like this one.
Acts of Man by Wreck
On the morning of their Annual pre-Christmas Dinner, Merlin is shocked to find out that Gwen thinks his boyfriend, Arthur, isn't good enough. But after a glimpse into Merlin's quirky flat, Gwen realizes that she might not have the whole story.
In Supernatural fandom there was an episode for the car and in Merlin fandom there is a fic for a apartment. For some reason this really fits Merlin, like there could actually be a house that is just so perfect for him (and Arthur) that the house itself came to life. Sounds magical and perfect for them. Until I find that, I will just promote and love this one. Okay. Even if I find that fic, I would still love and promote this, but point stays!

Morgana opened the door to reveal Leon’s smiling face, Gwen hanging on one of his arms. They noticed the wine with narrowed eyes as Morgana dramatically poured herself a glass three sizes too big without uttering a word to suggest why.
“What –?” Leon’s face scrunched up in confusion.
“Arthur,” Morgana declared, gulping down too much wine at once in order to prepare herself for the bone-chilling announcement, “is bringing his new boyfriend over tonight.”
This whole, dating assholes and other awful people, thing fits Arthur for some reason. In the show, all his one episode length interests are with idiots and always magic related. So this whole idea that he can't find a proper partner is kind of perfect for him. And then Merlin saves the day, as usual.
The Conundrum of Arthur's Secret Boyfriend by orphan_account
Arthur has a boyfriend whose identity he will not reveal. Uther has a personal assistant whose job depends on following his every order. Uther demands that his PA find out who Arthur's lover is. Merlin is not particularly happy.
Why I am having so much fun with these fics? Like every single fic just makes me smile and be happy? Why? How? What? I don't understand. Seriously. Even this had it sad moments but I am still smiling. Why. Seriously.
And for the + 1 part we need at least one soulmate fic. Because what fandom would really be a true fandom without soulmate fics?
True Love by platonic_boner
AU where soulmates can’t lie to each other.
(That’s okay, Merlin wasn’t planning to lie to Arthur anyways! Haha.. ha.. ha…)
Soulmates. The one thing I always like to read but I am never going to understand. Like, do serial killers and rapist have their soulmates and what is their destiny? What about paedophiles? Are their soulmates like 30 years younger or another paedophile? Or just what the fuck in general? I do not understand. But I like these fics none the less.
