Misunderstood
An alternate universe, extremely similar to cannon with one major twist: Arthur is irredeemably evil, and the banter between Arthur and Merlin is malicious from Arthur and a survival mechanism for Merlin. Other changes give Merlin a support system outside of Arthur. They include Freya surviving, and becoming Merlin’s wife, and Lancelot surviving.

Ironing Out the Kings
Author: Lex18
Merlin gets hit by a curse meant for Arthur. The curse causes incredible pain and will eventually kill Merlin if he does not discover all of his kinks. Arthur helps Merlin figure his kinks. This develops into a vary happy / fluffy relationship. I find it super fun except for the fact that it ends with monogamy.
