Summary
“Never wander alone, my darling, or Jenny Grinteeth will get you,” Hunith used to say. “Or if you forget, make sure you say the rhyme - that wards her off.”
Jenny Grinteeth leave me be, my mother loves me, leave me be.
Jenny Grinteeth is a game they play. But as Merlin is sucked into life at Camelot, he wanders alone more than ever. He is surrounded by people, but he doubts they love him; they can’t really even know him. The loneliness becomes so routine, he forgets his mother’s warnings and the funny, little rhymes, which might otherwise have saved his life.

Summary
After centuries of waiting, Merlin awakens from a decade-long magical slumber haunted by a dream—a vision of Arthur in a world of steel and sirens. But when the Lady of the Lake appears, they are told the impossible: Arthur has not been resurrected, but reincarnated. He lives again, but as a stranger, with no memory of who he once was. As Merlin grapples with the grief of being forgotten and the terror that this new Arthur might not be him at all, they must decide whether to chase a ghost—or face a future that no longer includes the friend they once knew.

Summary
“Stop being such a girl, Merlin,” Arthur says, which he’s said maybe a hundred times before. It’s routine at this point. “It’s just a rabbit.”
“I’m not a girl,” Merlin snaps as he glares at Arthur.
Arthur rolls his eyes. “Well, you’re not being a man either.”
Merlin’s posture straightens, standing taller than Arthur by just an inch, and he’s wearing an expression Arthur can’t quite place. His expression is filled with disgust, but anger and sadness mix into it. It’s too many emotions at once, Arthur knows that much.
“Well, I’m not a man either,” Merlin says.
Or, Merlin comes out to Arthur.

Summary
Cyran has always been unnaturally obsessed with Merlin. That had been fine with Merlin if it stayed at snide remarks and dirty looks but that would have been too much to ask for. Apparently.
Merlin thinks it's going a bit far to tie them to an altar for a magic ritual, but apparently Cyran thinks differently. Though Merlin might be enjoying it a bit more than one would expect.

Summary
The BAU didn’t know what to expect when they were suddenly told they had a new member, someone not even Strauss could redirect. They certainly didn’t expect a young, naive, energetic and hyper man from England to come tripping into the BAU.

Summary
“You should be more careful who you manhandle,” Merlin says, a teasing smile on their lips and a playful glint in their eyes. “You may mess with the wrong person.”
Lancelot raises a brow, the corner of his mouth quirking up. “Oh, really?” he asks, faux curiosity saturating his voice.

The morning light is starting to bleed through his small window, and he wishes he could freeze time so this moment doesn’t have to end. He wouldn’t have to get up and watch Merlin from a distance for the rest of the day.

Summary
“Stay still,” tuts Merlin as he shades charcoal across his canvas. The afternoon light is a cool purple-gray, but the glow from the many candles he’s got lit is warm and golden. “I can’t capture you properly if you keep squirming around.”

Summary
Merlin is familiar with secrets; lives with a power hanging over them capable of pushing them down onto the blade's edge they dance on daily and destroying their life. But when they learn that Arthur has a secret too, they have to recalculate their view of the world as the delicate balance of their life rapidly flies apart. Change is coming to Camelot, and Merlin will have to use every bit of magic, guile, and luck to navigate the fraught waters, with all they hold dear intact- their morals, their life, and the future of Camelot.
A trans what-if fic that changes up a lot of stuff.
Set in Season 2 just after Beauty and the Beast and before The Witchfinder, Updates Every Sunday Night

Summary
The tank is spectacularly brilliant. Manta rays gliding across the glass, tropical fish swimming about in bold patterns and colors. Merlin looked like a child compared to its enormity. It was ten times their size and the clearest blue they’ve ever seen.
The floor dappled with the water’s refraction, its calm hues washing over Merlin’s skin. Somewhere between this barrier of glass and the hundreds of thousands of gallons of water.Merlin just knew.
They were always meant to be painted in this light.

Summary
“I don’t feel like a man or a woman. I just feel like a person, neutral.”
“I’m not sure I understand,” Arthur said, tilting his head to the side.
Merlin wasn’t sure how to explain; most of the time, it didn’t fully make sense to himself, either. It was a feeling that was difficult to put into words for him. Each explanation he came up with felt incomplete, imperfect.

Summary
** CURRENTLY BEING REWRITTEN AND WILL BE REPUBLISHED UNDER ANOTHER NAME **
It has been a thousand years since Arthur died. In the modern age, Merlin passes the days by maintaining Camelot's castle and healing the sick. He spends each night at the edge of the Lake of Avalon, awaiting a man he fears will never return.
But of course, Arthur does return - to a world he doesn't recognize. Merlin must help him adjust to modern society before it is too late. Arthur struggles with his past and his destiny, along with the new world that he has difficulty making sense of.
The world is in peril; a modern plague, climate change, and war threaten the existence of any future. Magic is dying, with Merlin being the only sorcerer at full power left on earth.
Arthur and Merlin are the only ones who can do it. And, it being the two of them against the world, some feelings may finally bubble to the surface. -
