One common theme is the exploration of their relationship in a different context due to Merlin being female. It often involves a different dynamic in their friendship and potential romantic relationship.
There's 'A Magical Affair'. This fanfiction delves deep into the emotional connection between the two characters. It shows how fem Merlin, with her intelligence and magic, manages to win Arthur's heart in a world full of challenges and political intrigue. The detailed descriptions of their interactions make it a great read.
One key element is the relationship dynamic. Since Merlin has magic and Arthur is the king - to - be, there's a power play and a sense of mutual respect that develops. Another is the setting. The medieval - like world of Camelot adds a lot of charm and context to their relationship. And of course, the magic itself is a big part of it as Merlin uses her powers in unique ways in relation to Arthur.

One great fem Merlin Arthur fanfiction is 'The Enchanted Bond'. It beautifully reimagines their relationship with Merlin as a female character. The story has a great plot that weaves in elements of magic and adventure, making it really engaging.
One common theme is the exploration of gender roles. Since Merlin is female in these fanfics, it often challenges the traditional gender roles in the Arthurian legend. For example, how a female Merlin would be perceived as a sorcerer in a male - dominated society like Camelot.
I really like 'The Female Merlin's Quest'. In this fanfic, the author does an excellent job of showing how a female Merlin would interact with Arthur in Camelot.
