Of Kings and Servants (and Queens Who See Too Much) by SilentFootsteps
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)

Summary
The bond between Arthur Pendragon and his servant had always been obvious to those who spent any time in close proximity to them. Whispers of extraordinary loyalty, rumours of a life saved and the debt that had been repaid didn’t spread freely beyond Camelot’s walls but that didn’t stop people from seeing it with their own two eyes (or single eye, or even no eyes; it was not subtle in the slightest).
Or, Merlin and Arthur's bond seen through the eyes of Queen Annis.

Destiny Is A Scam and So Is This School by GAMERBLADE
Fandoms: Merlin (TV), Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
Merlin has survived dragons, destiny, kings, magic-hating monarchs, and the emotional devastation of watching everyone he’s ever loved die.
So really, he thought, a simple trip to the wizarding world for tea couldn’t possibly be that bad.
He was wrong.
Now he’s somehow become the unofficial emotional support adult of Hogwarts, is being hunted by the house-elves because he keeps fixing castle structural problems himself, dealing with a basilisk situation that Merlin is “pretty sure he dealt with once already, back in the 5th century.” and trying to stop Gilderoy Lockhart from deciding that he is his "professional rival."
Merlin regrets stepping outside...

Summary
Percy yawns and stretches as he wakes, feeling absurdly well-rested and like he slept without nightmares for the first time since—since when? For some reason, he feels like he normally has nightmares and that this has been the best sleep he’s gotten since forever.
Beside him lies a blonde guy and Percy frowns.
He doesn’t know him—why is he lying next to him?
The blonde guy opens his eyes and turns his head as well. Only to frown at Percy, clearly not recognising him either.AKA, Percy Jackson and Jason Grace wake up in a forest without their memories. Only the clothes that they're wearing and a bag with some provisions and money in their possession. They know they're not where, or even when, they're supposed to be. But how do they get back? How did they even get here? What happened to them? And who is that weird fellow who keeps staring at them?
AKA Percy Jackson and Jason Grace in Merlin (BBC).

Summary
Loneliness is an insidious thing. When Merlin looks at Arthur, he sees not just a prince waiting for his time to rule, but a young man struggling to find his place in the world, with little help from anyone else.
The truth is, Arthur needs more than the friendship Merlin can offer. He needs people he can trust: men and women who will become his court and his confidants, and if he is going to survive to take the throne and lead Camelot into its golden age, he needs them sooner rather than later.
Finding loopholes in Uther’s laws is no easy feat. Court life is a dangerous game, but it’s one Merlin has every intention of winning so that Arthur can have knights of his choosing by his side.
And then there is the matter of his magic…

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...
