Summary
I wasn't expecting to walk into Hogwarts that morning I chased my dog down. I don't know what I expected from the day but it was definitely not being thrown into 1977 where magic existed and the Potters were alive and well. Scratch that, Lily Evans and James Potter were alive and well. As well as the other Marauders.
I'm still somewhat convinced I'm in a drug-induced coma.
Coma or not though, there was no way in hell I was letting the future unfold the way it was supposed to.

Summary
"You can take Daisy out to fetch the cloak-"
"How do you know that?"
Arthur closed his eyes, expression riddled with irritation before turning to look at Merlin expectantly.
"Know what?"
“The mare I use. You know I call her Daisy? I never told you that." Merlin explained. Arthur stared for a few moments. He could see the flicker of emotions pass easily over him. Anger, annoyance, exasperation, indignance, and finally acceptance...AKA the Five Stages of Grief (Pendragon Edition).
"You talk to the horse.” He pointed out. Merlin narrowed his eyes.
“I whisper to the horse."
"...am I supposed to not hear it?” Arthur asked. Merlin wondered how likely it would be that he also heard him whispering magical spells if he heard him murmuring to the bloody horse. “Also, only you would choose such a ridiculous name.” He muttered. Merlin swallowed. This wasn't a problem at all, right? Right.
Or
Merlin knows Arthur well. Better than he knew himself apparently. What he hadn't expected was for Arthur to know his servant just as well... This causes problems. (also known as "The Time Merlin Had a Mental Breakdown Over Arthur Being a Normal Human")

Summary
25 stories featuring Merlin, Arthur, the Knights, Gwen and a range of others navigating circumstances they never had to in canon. Buckle up because this series is filled with misunderstandings (the funny kind), betrayals (the dramatic type) and happy endings (save for one).
Also despite being released daily, there's no continuation and no obligation to read all of them but readers may find a few cactuscandle eggs (see what I did there?) here and there!

Day 8: “I Absolutely Love Having To Keep Two Blonde Prats Alive As Opposed To The Usual One And The Fact They’re Related Makes My Job Harder Because They’re Both Equally Dumb.” by cactuscandle

Summary
“You’re hurting me,” whined Aurelian. “Merlin, please let go! I swear I’m not gonna run. I can’t even go anywhere because I’m—”
Merlin paid no attention to his words and threw him roughly inside the Physician’s chambers. Gaius watched with mild interest from his work bench and frowned when he saw the boy. “Who the fuck are you?” asked Merlin, picking up a broom from the floor and twirling it in his hands expertly.
Aurelian sighed. It was like nobody actually paid attention to his words. “Prince Aurelian of Camelot,” he repeated duly. Gaius’ interest was further piqued as he put down his books and turned to the commotion.
“Impossible. Are you a sorcerer out to kill Arthur?” asked Merlin harshly. No point beating around the bush. To his shock, the boy snorted. “What is it?”
“That’s right, Merlin,” he said in a tone awfully similar to Arthur’s. “I absolutely travelled back in time just to do my own father in.” He laughed as Merlin’s jaw dropped open.
Or Arthur's (alleged) son travels back from the future and of course Merlin has to somehow send him back without causing massive panic. This is far easier said than done in his humble opinion.

Summary
Dick has always been the responsible one—the one who holds the line, keeps his cool, and plays by the rules. But after a long night of venting to Jason Todd about how he envies Red Hood's freedom to unleash hell, Dick comes home to find a custom-made Red Hood suit waiting for him. The note? Classic Jason: "Go nuts, Dickhead."
He knows it’s a bad idea. He knows he shouldn’t.
But Jason’s out of town. The city’s still a mess. And maybe—just this once—it’s time he stopped playing nice.

Summary
Six-year-old Dick Grayson was crouched on the edge of the roof, holding a half-eaten churro like a grappling hook, cape flapping in the wind.
“I’m on patrol,” Dick said seriously. “Crime never sleep.”
Jason walked slowly toward him, hands raised like approaching a wild animal. “Neither do I, apparently.”
Dick pointed dramatically at a raccoon in the alley. “Suspicious activity. He stole that hot dog.”
Jason glanced at the raccoon, who hissed.
He sighed. “You’re not wrong. But you’re grounded.”
“I’m Batman. Batman is never grounded.”
Jason pinched the bridge of his nose. “I raised a menace.”

Summary
When Dick visits Gotham for the weekend, Jason wants nothing more than to spend time with his big brother. The problem is, does he want to spend time with Jason?
---
I’m your favorite brother!” Dick winked over his shoulder at Jason. “You wouldn't hurt me.”
Jason rolled his eyes and muttered, “You’re my only brother.”
“Exactly. Which means I’m your favorite by default. Boom. Case closed. Court adjourned.”

Summary
When Balinor found out that Uther was going to send Knight's to Ealdor, looking for him. He asked an old friend to look after Hudith until the coast was clear. Galahad did so without hesitation. But then he found out Hudith was pregnant and then some druids told them vaguely of some destiny that the child had.
All Galahad knew was that Merlyn needed more protection from Uther and so he claimed her as his flesh and blood. Balinor was still of nobleblood and it was the least he could do. He just didn't expect to get so attached.
Now follow Merlyn's story where she had a little more training and a little more of a moral guidance from an early age and moving to camelot at a slightly earlier age.
It turned out to be at just the right time for Arthur, who didn't know he needed a guiding hand, until it was right in front of him.Bookmarked by SiriusEmrys

Summary
Merlin knew his go-to excuse of “going to the tavern” to explain his disappearances was always going to bite him in the arse. He just didn’t expect that one night while he was off doing magical things that said tavern would burn to the ground in a devastating fire and he would be presumed one of the victims.
Yep, this was going to be hard to explain.
[Now with new perspective from the knights!]

Summary
Merlin saved Camelot with his magic—but the display was terrifying enough to turn even his closest friends away. Now, the people who once cared for him look at him with nothing but fear. He’s been replaced in Arthur’s and the queen’s chambers, scorned in the streets, and pushed out from every last one of his roles.
He drifts through the castle like a ghost, watching Arthur slowly restore magic to the kingdom—without him.
He tells himself it’s enough. That it has to be enough.
Then a visiting kingdom arrives—openly magical, warm, and welcoming. For the first time in what feels like an eternity, Merlin is seen, valued, liked.
He stayed for the promise of Albion. But maybe Albion has come—and Merlin simply isn’t part of it.

Summary
In which many strange creatures begin to show up in the woods outside of Camelot, and Merlin finds several more reasons to hate hunting.
Starts up after Arthur becomes Prince Regent, but before the events of 4x01.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Gaius,” Merlin started to ask, a bit hesitantly, when he finally reached the tower, late that evening. “What all do you know about faeries?”
Gaius dropped a half-finished potion, turned several fascinating shades of red and pink before moving on to near-purple, and yelled at Merlin for being irreparably foolish for quite a long while before Merlin was able to get a word in edgewise and was allowed to tell him anything more about the afternoon.
