    Summary

    “I said get out!” Arthur roared, spinning round, staring Merlin right in the eyes before turning to look down at his desk. “I don’t want to see you here ever again! Get out of my sight!”
    That was the last time he saw Merlin. Those were the last words he’d spoken to him before Merlin disappeared from almost everybody’s lives.

    The world collapsed around him anew when Gaius told him neither Merlin nor Lancelot had been seen or returned since leaving through the front gates of Camelot on horseback.

    Gwaine never came home.

    It was six months later they found them.

    "Sure. Do I know you?" Arthur replied easily.
    Merlin held out a hand for Arthur to shake. "I'm Merlin."
    "So I don't know you?"

    Summary

    Someone rounds the corner, stepping from kitchen to living room, wearing slim jeans and a white shirt, both of which are now stained with red wine. The someone is tall and fit and unbelievably familiar, shiny golden hair mussed up fashionably and pretty pink lips set in a delectable scowl.

    Holy fucking shit, Merlin thinks, it’s him. 

    “It’s you!” Arthur gasps rather theatrically, pointing at Merlin as though everyone in the room doesn’t already know who he’s talking about. 

     

    Or: Merlin gets his own hashtag on Twitter. Don't ask him how, he doesn't know. All he knows is that Arthur is out of his league, and Gwen is the best friend in the universe.

    Summary

    Merlin didn't sleep well last night. Not that he ever does. And after an awful start to the day, the last thing he wants to do is the gruelling work that he really isn't getting paid enough to do. What he really wants to do is curl up in bed and wait for sleep that ultimately won't come.

    But maybe, just maybe, there's something Arthur can do about that.

    Or

    Arthur takes care of Merlin.

    Summary

    Merlin was a kind and gentle soul, sometimes too kind and too gentle for his own good. Or you know, his own wellbeing. Arthur on the other hand, well…there was a reason that Arthur’s manservant was considered off limits. Any who dared harm him was not long for Camelot (or this world for that matter).

    Or the five people Merlin unintentionally gets exiled, and the one he gets exiled on purpose.

    Summary

    Arthur gave Merlin his cloak thinking only of the warmth it would offer in a snowstorm. He never thought his manservant may be mistaken for him and snatched by bandits. Nor did he expect his dashing rescue of Merlin to turn his world so utterly on his head.

    Because the bandits hadn't kidnapped a prince. They'd snatched a sorcerer, and now captivity is the least of anyone's problems.

    A golden age awaits, but can they claim it together, or are they doomed to fail?

    Summary

    Arthur stared at him. Merlin stared back, taking in the ragged clothes, the blood, the faint beginnings of a beard that darkened his chin. Arthur’s hair was longer than it had been before, and he held himself stiffly, a tell-tale warning sign of broken ribs. Still, he was alive.

    Summary

    When Hunith arrives in Camelot with news of an attack, Merlin knows what he has to do. He is perfectly capable of driving away the likes of Kanen’s men by himself; he has been defending Ealdor since he was ten years old.

    However, he has no idea of the lengths Arthur will go to to protect his poor, misguided manservant - such as adopting a disguise and following him home.

    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.

      This fic… my god this fic is something. Everything about it is so good. The merlin gwaine lancelot trio dynamics are exactly what I’ve been searching for all this time. The merthur. The fucking merthur. All the other group dynamics as well. Leon the long suffering (at the hands of merthur). “would you PLEASE flirt LATER.” Everyone clowning on uther (even freya the angel that she is). Morgana’s redemption (and mordred too but I don’t like him). Them all listening to merthur confession and betting on it has extended my life. Omg THE PROPOSAL. Lance and gwen were so fkn adorable. AND GWAINE AND PERCIVAL. I may have also begun to… not-dislike… morgana and leon together. would I read about those two on purpose? No, but they were cute here. Morgana and arthur hug. “Merlin’s perky little ass” being a common curse(?) throughout is fucking hilarious. MERLIN IS DORIAN GRAY?? Wait also the drunk pushups with arthur on merlins back.

    Summary

    Arthur’s hands didn’t wait for his own permission once they had Merlin’s, and they began instantly the essential work of memorizing the feel of Merlin’s body changed. He didn’t fight the magnetism that drew him first to trace the long line that drew all the way across Merlin’s ribcage before running flattened palms up over the straight lines and hard muscle of his chest.
    “Sorry you didn’t get to say goodbye,” Merlin quipped, and though his voice was still quiet and shaky, it almost sounded like he had managed a joke.
    Arthur shook his head as his hands traveled across Merlin’s broad shoulders and trailed through the coarse, dark hair on his chest and down his arms. His voice was distracted. “Don’t be, you’re perfect.”

    Summary

    For the prompt: Someone tells Arthur about the legends of Emrys, an all-powerful warlock whose destiny is to protect Arthur and his kingdom and help bring about an age of peace.

    Arthur and Merlin have a special relationship. They always have, even when they were prince and servant.

And, where there is Merlin, there is Arthur.

    Summary

    He saw Arthur burst from the forest, wide-eyed and pale-faced. Sweat plastered his hair to his forehead, and fear locked his expression in its clutches. One hand stretched out as if to grab him. So near and yet so far.

    The moment fled. Gravity won, and there wasn't even time for Merlin to cry out as the bandit's weight dragged him over the cliff and into the stormy waters below.

    ****

    When Merlin is hurt during a bandit attack, Arthur finds himself torn between the longings of his heart and his duties to the crown.

    “If I do this, if I cast this spell, there’s no telling where it will take you.”

    There’s only one thing Merlin needs to know. “Will Arthur be there?”

    Freya nods hesitantly. “I believe so, yes.”

    And that’s all that matters.

    “Then do it.”
