Summary
“My friends are my hoard,” Merlin groaned into the table his face was slammed on and Gaius raised an unimpressed eyebrow.
“Is this you just now realising it, or just you finally admitting it?” He asked and Merlin raised his head and glared at him.
“Gaius, how am I meant to deal with this? I mean, they’ve already asked me so many questions! And today-! I accidentally revealed to Percy my magic!” Merlin complains.
~~~
It's been five years since Merlin became a dragonlord and now he's going through "dragonlord puberty." He grows wings, talons and fangs and gets Dragon-like behavior, such as collecting a hoard.
Which would be all fine and dandy except that Merlin's inner dragon decided to hoard his friends and now Merlin has to hope none of them notice his strange behaviours.

Summary
Arthur Pendragon has spent his whole life untouched—by kindness, by desire, or anything resembling real intimacy. It never mattered. Not until a certain annoying manservant came to Camelot—Merlin—who disregarded all strict royal etiquette and showed no restraint when it came to sudden, reckless displays of affection. Now, there’s something impossible in the space between them, something Arthur doesn’t know how to name—only that he aches to close the distance.
*
A slow-burn touched-starved Arthur Pendragon story.
*
Guys, there was only one bed.
Guys, some obscure quest in the cold far-up mountains made them "huddle for warmth".
Guys, they might give in to this farm fantasy of theirs.
Can't I just put all the tropes in there?
This fic is rated MSI for Maximum Self Indulgence.

Summary
Arthur gave Merlin his cloak thinking only of the warmth it would offer in a snowstorm. He never thought his manservant may be mistaken for him and snatched by bandits. Nor did he expect his dashing rescue of Merlin to turn his world so utterly on his head.
Because the bandits hadn't kidnapped a prince. They'd snatched a sorcerer, and now captivity is the least of anyone's problems.
A golden age awaits, but can they claim it together, or are they doomed to fail?

Summary
Look, Arthur understands. He’s a King now, and that means there are more people after him and that he must be careful. He was being careful! He’d taken knights with him and everything, but that hadn’t stopped a lucky group of bandits from kidnapping him.
Damnit! His husband would NOT be happy with this.
“Merlin’s going to kill me after he gets me out of this.”
Or, Arthur is kidnapped and Merlin’s very understandable reaction to someone daring to take his husband.

Summary
“Lady Morgana,” The lord said, his brows furrowing as he took a step back “Pardon me for the assumption, but I was told the king’s ward never left the East tower?” He asked and gestured vaguely around the gardens. Morgana smiled and Merlin smirked from his hiding place as he watched Arthur consider swooping in to save the man, but clearly thinking better of it.
“Ah, of course.” Morgana said “You must be confused. There are two wards of the king. I’m afraid you won’t be able to meet Merlin today.”
Or
Uther took in Balinor’s child as a baby and claimed him as his ward. Merlin thinks he’s being held hostage, but whatever.

Summary
"Having been near you all these years, I am not unaware of the goings on of court, or the way you nobles like to do things.” He gives a half smile at that but doesn’t convince himself of his own humor, “I also know… that when a new king comes to power, he inherits his predecessor’s information network. His spies.”
Arthur leans back, folding his arms and narrowing his eyes, “That’s true, Merlin. I’ve been expecting whomever my father’s last spymaster was to come to me for days now. Do you know who it is?”
Don’t fidget. Don’t shift your weight. Goddess take you, Merlin, stand still. He clears his throat, “It was Gaius for a long time.”
The young king relaxes an imperceptible amount, and nods, “He’d have access to everyone, from villager to noble, and friendly relationships with most. Who is it now?”
Merlin stares at him, then spreads his palms helplessly, “Me.”
Merlin is Camelot’s spymaster and must reveal himself as such to Arthur when he becomes king.

Summary
Alright. Kilgharrah had had enough of this shit. He was over 1000 years old and he had still never met someone so inclined into getting into trouble as his lord and brother, Merlin.
He had been alone so long. Twenty years without a soul left in the world who cared about him. He was the Great Dragon, Triple Goddess be damned. No longer would he let Merlin risk his life alone, unprotected and uncared for.
There was only one clear course of action left.
Assume human form and move to Camelot as Merlin’ long lost half brother. It was mostly true, anyways.
There was no way for this to go wrong, he was sure.
Ah. Famous last words.

Bookmark Notes:
Really i didn't like this at all
Very hard to finish and i don't think i want
Too much angst, and they make no sense -
Bookmark Notes:
Bookmarking this simply because this took me literal months to read (there was a LONG gap between) but I am still satisfied to have finished it. I don’t think I will come back to this to re-read it but the character arcs will stay with me.
Morgana’s redemption was written excellently! She got a surprising amount of “screen-time” and her devotion to Arthur (or in hindsight, towards the kingdom’s wellbeing) was surprising towards the end but made fully sense.
There were a lot of quotable lines and deep analysis, especially for Merlin and Morgana. Arthur’s emotional intelligence and forwardness felt OOC at times but his sweetness and overall final character growth helped!

Summary
Merlin realizes that Morgana has magic and that he needs to help her before anyone else realizes it, too. He agrees to give her illegal magic lessons on top of all the work he does for Arthur and chores he handles for Gaius.
Arthur hears rumors of something going on between Merlin and Morgana and isn't pleased.
To Merlin, it just seems like the prince is determined to monopolize his thoughts- as if he didn't already. With even more secrets to keep, Merlin is glad he knows how to juggle.

Summary
When Arthur blows the horn of Cathbdhah for the second time, the horn doesn’t just send Uther to the other world. It sends Arthur away as well – to a world where Ygraine never died, the Great Purge never happened, and magic lives freely at court. As do those who practice it.

“Is something wrong, Arthur?” she asked softly, without letting him go.
“Nothing,” Arthur said, into her hair. Ygraine’s arms tightened. “I just came to say goodbye, that was all.”
Be a king, and let her go, Arthur told himself. Do what Uther could not.
He forced himself to pull away from her.
ygraine not letting go and the choice being solely his AUEGRHHHH 😭😭😭💔💔💔💔
The world around him blurred as the horn’s call echoed through the armory. Arthur blinked rapidly, trying to clear the sudden mist from around his eyes. Or perhaps that was only tears. If it was, he hoped that Merlin would for once hold his tongue, and not mention it.
When the mist cleared, Merlin wasn’t there.
...
The southern fields stretched around him, bare except for a trickle of smoke rising from behind one of the rocky outcrops. The mist was gone, and so was Merlin.
Arthur made his way to the trickle of smoke. When he came closer, he saw that two horses grazed in the hollow beside the outcropping.
His Merlin was curled there by the fire, his head resting on a leather pack.
HIS merlin ... because ofc his merlin would be there 😭❤️
When he turned the corner, he saw that golden light spilled from one of the largest stalls. Arthur made his way towards it, feeling an indescribable tension bleed from his shoulders with each step. Whatever else this was, he was at least back with Merlin. It was like being able to breathe again. Nothing truly unbearable would happen, not so long as Merlin was around.
And this before even knowing of all his power yep yep i will die with merthur
“I’m not afraid of anything, with you at my side,” Arthur said simply. He captured Merlin’s hands with his own, and tangled their fingers together. “I may have learned something about destiny as well, while I was in the other world.”
Ohdggʻdjdhejdhjeeh they are Always so intense ab each other it truly is crazy .. love how when it all comes down to it it comes down to Them

Summary
"What are you doing?" Arthur asks, announcing his presence.
Merlin's head jerks up, startled and then he — disappears. Arthur's mouth falls open, and he stares at the empty bed. A moment later, Merlin's voice speaks, out of thin air.
"I was practicing something." And then, tentatively, "I don't quite have it yet, but I think it's working."
"You think," Arthur says, faintly.

Summary
As Arthur dies in Merlin's arms at Camllan he confessed the love he's held close to his heart all this time. In his shock Merlin doesn't say it back, until it's too late. His grief shakes the earth, claws the sky, and tears reality asunder. For the first time in his life he holds nothing back and in his soul he has one desire. A second chance.
His magic complies.
