    Summary

    A small nod was his only answer. He forced himself upright, struggling to keep his weight on his feet. Eyes downcast as Merlin helped him into the chair. He jumped slightly when the door opened again. Nails digging into his chair, scratching the wood.

    Summary

    Merlin sometimes thinks he's been cursed. Not only was he born with extremely powerful magic, he also presented as an omega. A male omega in a world run by alphas that would see him as a prize or trophy, something to tie up and forget about. And now, he's in Camelot, the most dangerous place for someone like him to be. Merlin must keep both of his secrets close to his chest and stay away from Uther and other foes. But why does he feel a pull towards Uther's arrogant alpha son? And why is fate so cruel by pushing them together every chance it gets?

    Arthur was comfortable and... not happy, but alright with his position in life. Sure, he didn't always agree with his father's treatment of people suspected of sorcery, but who was he to question the King? Until a scrappy, raven haired peasant calls him out for being an arse and then becomes his servant. But as much as Arthur tries to hate Merlin, he constantly finds himself being drawn to the enigma of a man.

    Will they learn to get along? And will Merlin be able to help Arthur become the King he's destined to be?

    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

    “If you so much as touch us, Emrys will-“ Merlin's heart nearly stops.

    “Emrys?” The king cuts off in turn, confusion in his voice.

    “He’s only the embodiment of magic, last of the dragon lords, and is the most powerful warlock that has ever roamed the earth.” There is only silence as the girl's words hang in the air.

    «E così abbiamo più di un segreto, Emrys. Chi lo avrebbe mai detto.»

    «Sei in mio potere Emrys, non c'è nulla che tu possa fare»[...]«Ho intenzione di farti soffrire come mai in vita tua»
    *
    «Mi chiamo William e... e… sono il figlio di Merlino.»
    *
    «Questo è la magia, per me. Non è diversa dell'aria che respiro o del sangue che mi scorre nelle vene. Io sono una parte della magia ed essa è parte di me. Non posso semplicemente “smettere di usarla”, capite?»

    «No» rispose con indolenza Artù, scuotendo la testa con aria austera e impenetrabile. Il tono del re era freddo e affilato come la lama di un pugnale. «Mi dispiace, ma non riesco a comprenderlo.»

    Summary

    Taryan always felt she pulled the short sticks in life, but walking out of a dirty and unkept lake was a new low, even for her. Taryan would emerge from the water and stumble in the beloved story of “Merlin”.
    After coming to terms of transitioning worlds, Taryan begins to think about her survival. This proves to be challenging with suspicious glances coming her way, mostly falling from the protagonist, Merlin. A secret conceiver himself, that is convinced more is at play with Taryan’s ploy of a servant girl with “amnesia”. Taryan decides she won’t limit herself to being just a “background” character and involves herself in changing the story.
    This includes saving characters' lives, starting (unexpected) relationships, and trying to lessen the burdens Merlin faces, despite his inquiries of her background. Taryan will learn not everything is predictable with neverseen characters' secrets, a reveal of a bastard son, and dark themes Taryan swears never would have seen the light of day in the story. Taryan’s choices are also no easy tasks, no thanks to a certain dragon that advises her own death and a destiny-bound warlock who might heed its advice.

    (PLZ NOTE- in Taryan’s universe, “Merlin” is a book series)

    Summary

    A hidden cave, tucked away from the world, holds memories of Arthur and Merlin's most vulnerable moments — from stolen kisses and heated arguments to quiet nights of comfort and longing.
    Years pass, kingdoms rise and fall, and the world changes beyond recognition, but the cave remains the same — a timeless keeper of their love, pain, and all the unspoken words left behind.
    It's a story of love that never quite fit into the world around them, of two souls finding solace in a place where time seemed to stand still. Even as centuries go by, the cave remembers it all.

    Merlin belongs to BBC, I do not own it. I write just for fun.

    Actually the story is quite short, still I hope tag slow burn will suit here.
