    Summary

    Arthur may not know how he got here or what’s going on, but he does know he sure as hell isn’t leaving this tiny, terrified, five-year-old behind.

    Or: Arthur and Merlin get caught in a de-aging incident. Merlin is predictably not ecstatic to wake up near Camelot knights, and Arthur has never been weaker in his life than he is for Merlin’s baby bambi eyes.

    Summary

    Just as quickly as it entered the suspicious look on his face was fleeing away and his features were smoothing out into an all-knowing look Gwaine had gotten very accustomed to seeing over the years except now it was too flat, too trusting, too young. "Oh, I see what this is." Gwaine was glad someone did because he had no clue what was going on. "Will put you up to this didn't he"

    i.e Merlin getting de aged to his teenage years before he came to Camelot.

    Summary

    Merlin didn’t know what was happening. All he knew was he was lost and hurt. He just wanted to go home, but everything was so big and scary. But the man with gold hair seemed very nice. He promised to help him find home. The only question was, could he trust a stranger.

    Or Merlin gets hit by a spell and turns into a child and Arthur does everything he can to bring Merlin home.

    Summary

    “Oh my,” Gwen said, then snickered a little.

    Merlin’s blush crept back onto his face.

    “Oh, sorry, um, I didn’t- I mean it was an accident. This is… completely serious,” She said, then giggled a little bit, “Sorry, you’re just so cute!”

    Merlin hid his red face in his hands, “Don’t wemind me.”

    Summary

    Merlin felt the rebirth of his King the moment it happened; His magic sung in his veins and in his heart, a previously empty space that gapped like a chasm in his soul being filled with golden light, though not fully — not yet.

    Summary

    As always, it's a patrol gone wrong when it happens, and Arthur's in the thick of things, much to Merlin's chagrin, as he's the one who has to drag his Royal Prattishness out of harm's way.
    All in all, though, a completely run-of-the-mill situation.
    That is, until the random old sorcerers, conjured barghests, secret plots, and stupid self-sacrificing idiots come into play.
    Then...well, let's just say it's not something Arthur is sure to forget any time soon.

    Or, in other words: Merlin takes a hit, there are some rather interesting, unforeseeable consequences...
    And Arthur pretty much hates both.

    "Gaius." Arthur's tone took on a warning edge, darkening dangerously. "What is that?"
    Gaius regarded him, a somber note to his countenance that only seemed to increase the prince's jittery nerves tenfold. "Not what you think, Sire."

    Summary

    De-aged!Merlin, Caring!Arthur, Caring!Knights, Reveal!Fic. If that doesn't say it all, Merlin is turned into a child by ex-druids bent on raising "Emrys" to be their weapon to free magic. Plot is actually just an excuse to write Merlin-as-a-kid fluff. SPOILERS for S4. Set during S4, after episode #whatever, when Elyan is ... you know. This is one I wrote way back in 2012 and have finally migrated it over to this archive in case you recognize it. That's also why it's being posted all in one go. If you haven't read this, I hope you enjoy!

    Summary

    Secrets are a part of Merlins life but when he foils yet another attack on Arthur he is transformed
    into his 11 year old self with no memory of his adult life. Will he be able to keep his magic hidden?
    Or are there even more secrets from his past that are threatening to become uncovered. This fanfic
    assumes that Merlin was around 15 when he first arrived in Camelot and would now be around 18.
    Another de-aged Merlin, but I do love them, there will be mentions of child abuse and mistreatment.

     

    There is no planned slash at this point, but we know how that goes, I will update tags as I go.

    Summary

    Arthur was woken by the sound of crying. He shot up in bed and blinked his eyes a few times, his chambers were almost pitch black except for the faint orange glow of the embers in the fireplace. As his eyes adjusted he saw a small figure huddled near the fire, their tears were quiet but he quickly realised it was a child.

    ~~~~~~~~

    "Tell me your name at least?"

    Arthur could see the boy hesitate before he looked back up at Arthur with a small smile on his face, as if he was proud of his name. "Merlin. I'm Merlin."

    ~~~~

    Merlin has been put under a spell, resulting in him ending up as his 4 year old self. Arthur has to figure out a way to not only reverse the spell, but look after the child and keep him out of trouble. Which, Arthur quickly finds out, is not as easy as it seems. Trouble seems to follow little Merlin like a magnet.
