Summary
It takes a month after Arthur lifts the ban on magic for him to adjust to the fact that the people around him might actually start to use it. Even stranger is when Merlin learns some from Gaius and, oddly enough, has a bit of a knack for it.
In which Arthur is obtuse, Merlin is trying his best, and Gwaine, Elyan and Leon don't understand why they can't learn to light fires as easily as Merlin did.

Summary
“Has the castle changed so very much while I’ve been gone?” Merlin asks, addressing the men on duty. “I was led to believe these were the king’s chambers and yet I seem to find them occupied by a bear instead of a man.”
“Out,” Arthur rumbles, steely command in the low pitch of his voice.
“Don’t worry,” Merlin calls to the retreating guards. “I’ll handle this creature in here. If you happen to see the king, please inform him I’ve returned!”

Summary
"I'm writing you this message just so I can say that I love you."
Merlin, the fearless, loving, giving, selfless, warlock. Never bowing down to a challenge. He knows Arthur will be furious. He just hopes it's enough to keep him grounded. He doesn't want this. He never has. But it doesn't scare him.

Summary
''No, clearly I have done something. Was there — had I ever given you a reason for you to feel as though you couldn't come to me with this? Did I ever make you feel unsafe? Make you feel unable to confide in me when someone's actively hurting you?''
''No, no, I — that's on me, not you,''
''Then why, Merls, why wouldn't you tell me about this? Why is it that you'd prefer being hurt overcoming to me?''
''I didn't,'' Merlin pushed past a lodge in his throat. ''I didn't know that was an option,''
Arthur's lungs burn at that.

Summary
Arthur wakes up in modern Glastonbury and to his unfathomable relief finds Merlin. But nothing is simple. Everything he knew is gone, for one. He wonders what of his achievements were actually his own, and not just Merlin's magic, for another. Arthur also has to face the fact that he kept the ban on magic going. Was he ever truly a good king?
There is also the “I love you” he mouthed to Merlin before dying. Something he cannot afford to focus on, because, as Merlin tells him, Albion’s time of greatest need is upon them.
Then comes the unthinkable. Merlin’s magic, which has been growing over the last thousand years, is suddenly too strong for the sorcerer's human body to handle. Faced with the prospect of losing Merlin, feelings suddenly come out and Arthur realizes that if he can save the man he loves and the land of Albion, he might be able to forgive himself for his mistakes and everything he is not.
The question is, can he?
Expect fluff, angst, humor, banter, hurt/comfort, whump, and lots of Merthur!

Summary
It's 2024, and Merlin is still alive. He's been alive all this while, for fifteen hundred years, fifteen sodding centuries.
He's forsaken his destiny. Prophecy be damned.
Waiting for his King's return had left him lonely and broken. He's done with this waiting bullshit.
But perhaps, in a cruel twist of fate, his destiny is not done with him just yet.
In a cruel-er twist of fate, Arthur returns to Merlin, except he doesn't seem to remember Merlin at all.
(Now with extra epilogues!)

Summary
“Arthur.” He spat. “Why the fuck are you kicking a ball, at my window?!”
“Just thought I’d play a bit of ball with the lads.”
“Don’t involve us in your games.” Leon said.
“Fine.” Arthur said tight lipped. “I wanted to play football but I thought I’d get you back for the other day.” He smirked.
“Merlin don’t listen to him he’s trying to get you all flustered. Mr Man-Whore over here wants to bone you but won’t admit it.” Leon outted him.
Or The one where Arthur is always outside Merlin’s window trying to bug him.

When a man claiming to be Emrys arrives at court Arthur is mostly annoyed, after all, he knows who Emrys is and it's not the random man standing in his throne room.
But in the end that's not the really important thing anyway.

Summary
At first, it hadn’t crossed his mind- not really- that Merlin may have such a distinct and specific taste in men. It had all fallen into place when one fateful afternoon, Merlin spoke about some Greek hero, some ancient, Hellenic lad by the name of Achilles.
or,
In which Arthur wants to look like Achilles to win Merlin's heart, but of course, he's missing the whole point.
Written for Scruffy Pendragon Fest 2020.

Summary
Camelot is a lot bigger than the letter suggested it to be.
The buildings here tower at three stories tall, sometimes even four, and that’s only in the lower town. The battlements alone leave trailing shadows over the roads, the stone and brick laid down who-knows how long ago.Merlin clutches Gaius’ letter close, looking down every now and then to recheck the directions. The roads are winding and narrow with more than a few dead-ends.
His offer hangs just under the directions:"Mentor under me and I can teach you the control you seek – a physician’s apprentice is a noble trade not many young men have the opportunity to undertake. Do you understand?"
Merlin didn’t understand at first, not until Hunith pressed a set of Will’s old clothes into confused hands. As tough as it is for a sheltered boy to saunter into a new city to take a position under an esteemed healer – not even considering the illegalities of the implied additional tutelage – it would be an impossibility for even the most headstrong of women.

Summary
Chronically overworked CEO Arthur Pendragon temporarily loses his PA George to a brass accident.

Awkwardness and pining ensue.

Bookmark Notes:
Arthur blinked. “What?”
Merlin dropped his hand to cross his arms, curling in on himself and pointedly avoiding Arthur’s eyes as he explained, “It does that sometimes, acting on its own. With certain people around, anyway.”
“Certain people,” Arthur repeated dumbly.
“Yes,” Merlin confirmed. “Like you.”
“Me?”
At last, Merlin looked at him, glaring, “What do you think, you prat? Of course, it’s you! From the minute you walked into this office that morning, my magic was all over you!”
-
Eventually, when he was loose and wet – and when had that happened? – the magic retreated, replaced by Merlin’s tip.
“You look absolutely debauched, sir,” he purred, letting his cock glide over Arthur’s entrance.
“Don’t tease,” Arthur groaned, wondering how Merlin managed to make that title lack any sort of respect or submissiveness.
“Ready?” Merlin asked.
“Don’t tease,” Arthur repeated more desperately, trying to push backward, which managed to have his own half-hard dick rub against the desk.
So utterly terrific

Summary
What if, when the Great Dragon said that Mordred would 'kill' Arthur, he didn't exactly mean it the way it sounded?
Mordred is surprised to discover that he has fulfilled that prophecy while living in Camelot with Emrys, all while Arthur still lives and sits on the throne.

Summary
“How can I ask this of you?” Merlin whispered, “I was meant to bring peace to Albion, not destroy it. I’m no good if you get hurt.”
The king took his court sorcerer’s hands. They were trembling, frail things like little fledglings, and he gripped tight and didn’t let go, “Merlin. Camelot fights for what is right. Once magic was reinstated, I pledged to be an ally to you and your kind. I, and this kingdom, would be a disgrace to that promise if I did nothing now.”
Merlin gazed at him so desperately. Arthur didn’t know what to do with it. Merlin was always so strong, usually being the one to comfort Arthur. He was his best advisor, and his closest confidant, and he’d never seen him so anguished.
***
The golden age of Albion was here, or so Merlin thought. After learning of sorcerers in the hundreds being captured and enslaved by a neighbouring kingdom, Merlin felt more useless than ever. What use is Emrys if he can't protect his people? He had to act, but he couldn't bring Camelot into it; the risk was too high. Unfortunately, his friends didn't see eye to eye with him on that, and insisted on fighting with him. Would they come out victorious?
Would they survive at all?

Summary
Merlin's insistence on following Arthur and the knights to battles had not gone unnoticed by people. Why would this defenseless, weaponless servant be present in dangerous and life-threatening battles? Gwaine, along with Morgana and Gwen, took matters to their own hands.
Or,
In which Merlin learned to fight with a sword and let us pray for poor Arthur because if he thought Lancelot was hot when he demonstrated his sword skills, he wouldn't be prepared when a BAMF, sword-wielding Merlin hit him with the force of a thousand butterflies.
