Summary

OR
The one where Merlin & Arthur face their feelings after making out in the prince’s tub.

A/N: Though this canon divergence is set somewhere between end of Season 3 and early Season 4, I have moved up some of Season 4’s events to suit my storyboard needs. (ie. Gwen & Arthur’s relationship failing after S4E9 doesn’t go as written- this leaves both Arthur and Merlin a bit apprehensive about starting a relationship together.)

Summary
A "short" story based on Season Two, episode seven, "Witchfinder."
It is foretold, as the Great Dragon says, that the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young boy. Merlin, said to be the most powerful sorcerer in history, is an absolute idiot. Truly, there is no limit to his stupidity. But, when his foolishness puts the life of his mentor and friends on the line, it seems the best solution is self-sacrifice.
But what happens when Arthur won't let him? What will he do and who'll stop him from jeopardizing not only his future and destiny but also a chance at something he's lost time and time again - love?

Summary
Another kingdom’s visit to Camelot starts off well enough, but quickly devolves when all the women in the castle begin falling head over heels for Arthur. At first, it seems to only affect the ladies from the visiting party, but soon even Gwen can’t stop talking about Arthur’s pretty blond hair as she tries to bombard him with flowers at every training match. Merlin hasn’t any reason to worry—except that he does, because all three of his secrets have the potential to be unraveled in one fell swoop.

Summary
Through every death, every hope and fear and impossibility, they continued to find each other. There wasn’t a lifetime they hadn’t loved each other in, in short. Their hearts had a matching beat, their souls reflections of each other's pools, their contrast, and kindred golden light forever made to serve, better, and balance the other.

Summary
Merlin watches Arthur leave. He has to forcibly remind himself about what he can and cannot have; who and what he is. Thrice damned. Blessed to be alive, in Camelot, and at Arthur’s side. He needs nothing more.
For now, Merlin has paperwork to do and more magical artefacts to buy back from the citizens of Camelot. He takes a couple of moments to reconstruct himself, reaching for some ambient magic and using it to stabilise his tired body and revitalise his mind.
He can’t fall over when there is more work to do. When he opens his eyes, Merlin straightens his itchy court outfit and sets off to be the best Court Sorcerer he can be.
The sequel to Soldier, Peasant, King where Merlin, now serving as Camelot’s Court Sorcerer, must weigh his personal wish to accept the king’s mutually-desired advances to court him against his professional duty: to help bring about and sustain Camelot’s Golden Age as prophesied and witnessed in the Crystal of Neahtid. Of course, the very same Crystal paints a future for him and Arthur as a harbinger of heartache.
