    Summary

    Wasn't Merlin supposed to be...tiny? When the hell had he learned to use a sword and not fall on his backside? Where the hell did those scars from? What the hell?
    or
    Arthur still thinks Merlin is the young boy he met ten years ago and he starts to notice things in his manservant that he wasn't aware had changed at all.

    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

    “They say Emrys tamed the great dragon of Camelot and sired the white dragon of Albion-”

    “Sired?” Gwaine interrupted “This Emrys fellow is going around siring dragons? How exactly is that happening? Sex with other dragons?” He asked and despite the situation, Merlin flushed. The man in question blinked, looking equally baffled by the question. From the corner of his eye, Merlin could see Arthur pinching the bridge of his nose.

    “Uh…I actually don’t know.”

    “But you’re Emrys,” Merlin reminded the imposter with a sigh “You don’t remember siring any dragons?”

    “I said it was an off day!” The man complained, trying to cross his arms despite being upside down. Merlin took a long breath. Lancelot had already walked away, but that did nothing to hide his howling laughter.

    Or

    The knights keep hearing various (dramatic) rumors about the great and mighty Emrys. Everyone is such a gossip. Merlin is trying not to have a heart attack. Lancelot is loving life.

    Summary

    Merlin and Arthur share an unspoken arrangement. On rare evenings, they drink to excess, casting aside their cares and responsibilities, and spending the nights together in secret. Neither of them speaks of these encounters; it's a wordless ritual, full of glances and gestures, understood but never spoken aloud. In these scarce, stolen hours, they find solace, escape and a fleeting sense of companionship they can't find elsewhere.

    Under the pressure of building feelings and an interrupted evening, Merlin begins to ask the question: How much longer will this be enough?

    Summary

    "the doors burst open and three sweaty knights trambled in. Merlin recognized them as some of Uther's knights, Brunor, Tor, and Hector. They all doubled over completely out of breath. Everyone paused, going quiet, and all eyes went to the three.

    Eventually, Brunor caught his breath enough to start speaking "Sire... There's... There's a..."

    Before he could finish Hector the youngest of the group yelled "Dragon!""

    Summary

    When Uther banishes Arthur from Camelot, Arthur is certain it's the end of him and everything he had to offer to the world.

    Enter Merlin and the ragtag group of misfits he and Arthur collect on an adventure that takes them across the entire kingdom. Grappling with who he is now and who he will become, Arthur embarks on a journey of self-discovery, friendship, fate, and what it truly means to be a king of prophecy.

     

    “Merlin??”

    Merlin drops the reins and spins around, “Arthur!”

    Merlin beams. Arthur’s eye twitches.

    “What, exactly, are you doing here?”

    Merlin makes a face, “What does it look like? I stole some horses.” His lip quirks up, “And some of cook’s pies. But that was just because she’s been such a harpy all this time and she deserved it.”

    Summary

    Elyan thinks Merlin is one of the most creative men he’s ever met, Percival thinks he’s one of the strongest. Gwaine thinks Merlin is one of the bravest men he’s ever met, Leon thinks Merlin is one of the luckiest men he’s ever known. Lancelot thinks Merlin is one of the most compassionate men he’s ever known, Arthur thinks Merlin is the biggest idiot in the world.

    Merlin thinks he's none of that.

    Only one of them is incorrect.

    “Merlin,” Balinor sighs from his place on his throne. “It is your destiny to protect Arthur Pendragon and unite the lands of Albion. I do not understand how you hope to achieve that by remaining in Spero,”
    “B... But it’s Camelot!” Merlin is shrieking now, hands pulling at his hair in terror. Hunith looks sadly at her son as she stands up, holding out her hands for the teen to take. “Uther, he could…... I could be killed!”

    Summary

    After spending the better part of a thousand years as a professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Merlin had given up hope that he would ever see Arthur again. Then Christmas 1993 happened and Sybil Trelawney wheezed out a prophecy about the return of the Once and Future King.

    As ecstatic as Merlin is about the news, he wishes it wasn't because they were slowly approaching the end of all times, with magic itself beginning to fade from the land. Merlin also wishes Sybil had warned him how much more of a brat Arthur would be as a modern teenager, especially because this incarnation of him - terrifyingly - seems to have magic, too.

    Somewhere in the Forbidden Forest, Merlin can hear Kilgharrah laughing at him.

    Featuring nosy portraits with too much time on their hands, reincarnated knights with a penchant for Quidditch and such a supreme amount of Pendragon prattishness that it is practically a character on its own.

    Summary

    "“Emrys,” said Gaius, raising the Eyebrow of Disappointment and flicking his gaze to where Merlin stood behind Arthur’s chair. “That is who you wish to have as your court sorcerer.”

    Arthur nodded gravely, every eye in the council meeting upon him. “Camelot is dangerously close to division even now that sorcery is legal. We need someone who will unite us all, and I cannot settle for less. I’ll send riders out at first light chasing rumours and follow up any promising leads we have myself.”

    He looked so beautiful when he said it, every inch the king, with the sunlight through the windows turning him gold. His voice had taken on that richness that sometimes infused Arthur’s words – that for the good of the kingdom voice, that let it be so voice, the voice that Merlin had come to understand meant another brick laid on the road to Albion.

    Unfortunately, that voice had been co-opted for a fucking farce."

    Or - In which magic is legal and Merlin is still lying for reasons that are absolutely, totally 100% valid and have nothing to do with his love for Arthur
