    Summary

    One day, Merlin had yet to stop roaming the earth after centuries spent of his eternal, never-ending, existence. As a witness of life, he has seen and observed many things. He has seen Kingdoms fall, Empires arise, countries be created, divided. Plagues. Wars, peaceful times. All in the same. People he held dear die one after the other, and yet here he prevails, cursed and forced to wait for the arrival of his sole and one true King.

    He is given the choice to go back to the past. A chance was given to him, to change things. He has a new name, a new identity, but he hopes he may be able to make amends. His body might be young, but his mind, magic and soul is old, tired and, overall…Unrestrained. With the knowledge of the future and the power of his magic, will he be able to make a better future, one where the just and those wronged could live peacefully, at the cost of his sanity and own happiness? Perhaps.

    Feelings, however, might be a extremely hard thing to ignore. Even when you're a being made of Magic.

    Summary

    I started with one idea and then it turned into another thing entirely:/
    --

    Everyone is worried about Merlin, it's been that way every year for the past couple of years. The obvious answer to find out what was wrong was to follow him of course. Secrets are revealed.

    A simple act of friendly stalking turned journey to save the magic of Camelot.
    ---
    [ "Surely you can't be that blind Merlin... Have you not felt a shift in the earth's magic?"
    He did feel it and he was a little panicked, but he was starting to freak out.

    "That's why I came... Freya, I could feel her... that usually doesn't just happen without a reason, right?" His words were a little rushed.

    "Someone is tampering with the earth's magic and it is affecting all creatures of magic..." his voice was tired, drained. ]

    Summary

    Getting thrown into a wall hurt.

    At least, that’s what Merlin’s bruised brain registered as he attempted to blink his eyes open. He wasn’t sure how long he had been out, but as the world fell back into focus he noticed that Jonas was nowhere to be seen and the noise from the great hall was getting louder.

    He scrambled to get his feet under him as the doors swung open to reveal the sea of wedding guests, all eager to catch the afternoon sun after the honour of witnessing the royal ceremony. Clasping one hand to his head and the other against the wall, he squeezed his eyes shut, unsure of what was louder; the joyful chatter of the crowd or the relentless beat drumming against his skull.

    Set in s02e05 / s02e06. Merlin has a long — and tiring — night searching for Catrina’s hidden seal after he’s accused of stealing it.

    Summary

    “Merlin, mate. He’s not lying. I wish you two were married. I, for one, would be your best man, obviously.”

    "Poetry," Leon mumbled behind him, "Goddamned poetry."

    Merlin gave him another startled look-voice rising in distress. “You were my best man!”

    Oh, how thoughtful. Too bad he doesn't remember.

    Gwaine gave him a thumbs up. "Okay."

    OR

    Gwaine is generally confused about everything that is going on. Merlin, on the other hand, just wants to go back to his NORMAL, totally STRESS-FREE life. Hahaha.

    Summary

    When most of Camelot is down with a flu, Lancelot and Merlin are the only two to track down a monstrous boar. Easy... except Merlin is hurt in the process.

Upon getting back to Camelot, Merlin has to return to his normal duties while helping Gaius with the overload in patients. How can Merlin continue to hide his injuries, his exhaustion, and the flu when even his own magic seems to be against him?

    Summary

    “I think I need to start charging people to ask me stupid questions.” Merlin mused, letting his head fall back off the couch, effectively hanging upside down.

    “What you need is a rich himbo.” Gwaine declared and Merlin opened an eye to peer at him curiously.

    “What?”

    “For your questions tax.” Gwaine explained.

    “Hmm, I don’t know, I mean, first of all, where would I even find a rich person? And Secondly, obviously, fuck the rich.”

    “That might be fun.” Gwaine said, grinning.

    “That is not an instruction you idiot.”

    “Not with that attitude.”

    Summary

    “What happened to your left arm?”
    Turning around with the clothes he had chosen for Arthur to wear held in his right hand, Merlin said, “Hmmm? Oh, it’s nothing, just a shallow cut.”
    Obviously, Arthur wasn’t buying it. “It’s not shallow, you’re in pain. You haven’t used your left arm at all since you tried to steal my pillow. And where is your neckerchief?” Arthur asked with narrowed eyes.
    Merlin huffed, getting annoyed by Arthur’s prodding. Why couldn’t the prat simply believe him like he always did all the other times Merlin got injured. “Alright, fine. It’s not shallow, but it’s not too deep either. I scraped my arm against something on my way down to fetch your breakfast and didn’t want to climb the stairs back to Gaius, so I used my neckerchief as a bandage. It’s nothing important. I’m clumsy, I injure myself all the time.”

    Summary

    Abandoning his place beside the king, Merlin walked down the stairs. He brushed aside the guards and knelt in front of the boy. “You’re a brave boy.” 

    The boy's eyes widened before he threw himself forward, wrapping his arms around Merlin’s neck and burying his face into Merlin’s shoulder. 

    He was shaking.
