Summary
Set after the Merlin Series 5 Finale "Diamond of the Day".
Canon Compliant. In Character. Arthur Pendragon Returns.
Cover art by Lao-Pendragon------
For many long years Merlin waited.
For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.
Until one day, suddenly, it did.
When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.
Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, & True Love.

Summary
“I am so sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you, I wanted to tell you, all of you, I am sorry, I am sorry.” There is another sob wrecking his body, throwing his shoulders forward.
Merlin has always known that he is Emrys. Son of the Earth, the Sky and the Sea. It is, what the trees are whispering, what the sun tells and the moon sings of. When a dragon tells him that Arthur is his destiny… things start to make sense.

Summary
Merlin frowned, and tried to inhale, but choked on a cough. He opened his mouth, trying to speak but his mouth was sticky and full and he felt warm, warm, warm, warm spilling down down down down…
The world tilted on its axis a little bit, and Merlin leant into Arthur’s body. Why was the world tilting?
Arthur’s face shifted from annoyance to horror.

pull your trousers up because we have got one hell of a kiss-me-so-our-pursuers-think-we're-just-a-random-couple trope.

Summary
Being the manservant of a Crown-Prince was not an easy task. It involved washing his clothes, polishing his armour, mucking out the stables, cleaning his chambers, helping him dress up, seeing him naked every day, bathing him, fending off his sexual advances, and so much more. . .
Did I mention fending off his sexual advances?

Summary
An execution was not exactly on Merlin's bucket list, wasn't even what destiny had intended for him, but it would figure that Uther Pendragon's final act would be one last strike against magic. On the bright side—because Merlin's nothing if not desperate for silver linings—he gets to learn more about magic and its still existing community than the castle he has once called home could've ever offered him. And when he finally returns, things might've just changed enough for all of them to have a chance at a better future than fate had planned.
Arthur, for his part, really wants to catch a break, and to stop thinking about his late manservant. It should probably be less of a shock that it does not work out so neatly. Between concerning dreams, the realisation of just how wrong his father was—about nearly everything, really—and trying to deal with the loss of the person closest to him, Arthur learns a few things about making choices that aren't always easy, but right.
Or sometimes, things have to go downhill first before they get better, and if Uther had known about the eventual outcome, he might've changed his mind for once in his life.

Summary
“Track him, corner him, subdue him… just like we would with any dangerous creature.”
“Not a creature, Arthur. Just Merlin.”
Merlin wasn’t supposed to hear them—but now he’s running, heart pounding, as the knights of Camelot—his friends—close in. They’d sounded so certain, so cold. He didn’t stop to ask how or why, he just ran. Now he doesn’t know where he’s going, only that he has to keep moving.

Summary
“If the sigil is a proposal, then what does the ring mean?” he asked, his voice dropping to a whisper.
“The ring itself? Nothing,” Arthur reassured him, leaning closer as if drawn by Merlin’s quiet tone. “But that ring, given by me? It means I’m offering you the most fragile, vulnerable part of myself and asking you to keep it safe.”

Summary
Merlin is so gone for Arthur. For years now, in fact. It would be embarrassing, if he wasn’t almost completely sure Arthur felt something for him too.
Until the day Arthur Finds Out.
It’s not that he hadn’t imagined a bad scenario of Arthur finding out. He had. Of course, he had. But more so that Arthur would send him away, or sack him, or…well. He supposed he didn’t have any scope of imagining that Arthur could look so horrified, and be looking at Merlin, at the same time.

Or, 4 times Arthur failed to understand, and 1 time he did.

Summary
In his grief, Merlin makes a deal with fate. He can save everyone in Camelot---right from day one. He is sent back in time, remembering everything that has happened, in the hopes of rewriting his own story.
-
He looks around, surprised and more than a little lost. No, this is definitely Camelot, despite the fact that he'd been nowhere near mere seconds ago. A voice speaks, and Merlin realizes three things at exactly the same time.
1. This is a much younger, although still very familiar, version of Camelot.
2. Uther Pendragon is alive, and is unfortunately the one talking.
3. Merlin is much shorter. That might just be the worst of the three.-

Summary
“But I have a question. Are you in love with Arthur?”
Merlin froze. Was it too convenient to pretend to faint from pain? Surely, that was the best answer to such a question. Of course, second only to a confident, bewildered “no.” Unfortunately, he felt his pause had already given enough of an answer. Nevertheless, he persisted. “Of course not.”
“Well, then are you trying to kill him?”
Or, Morgana finds Merlin's self-sacrificing behavior as something that could only motivated by love. Arthur thinks she's crazy. In her quest to prove herself right, she uncovers some secrets about Merlin better left hidden...
