Flesh and Blood Dance by Lilithilien
Modern, but future-fic, not AU. Merlin, Morgana, and Nimnueh are all immortal, and Arthur is in the magical sleep Merlin put him in about 1,500 years earlier. Nimueh, a Hollywood producer and getting a little bored with life, creates a television series based on Merlin and Arthur’s lives…and suddenly a lot of old monsters start coming back to life.
I wasn’t thrilled with this story at first; it wasn’t until Arthur woke up that I really got into it, but when I did, I really enjoyed it.
Action // NC-17 // Romance

After Merlin defeats Nimueh, it rains. A lot of stuff happens in this story, but it builds in such a slow, dreamy way that you almost don’t notice all the action until the end.
