Summary
When Merlin's magic is exposed shortly before season 2 starts, the path of destiny starts changing forever. Now on the run with Arthur, Morgana, and Gwen. Merlin hopes to convince Arthur that magic is totally good instead of him and Morgana just being an exception. Morgana, meanwhile, hopes to convince him to usurp his father. As allies are gathered and Arthur realizes the injustice in his kingdom, it looks more and more like he will have to act in a drastic way. A way he dreads.
Meanwhile, Arthur and Merlin are growing closer and closer and might just have feelings for each other. Something they probably should be better about realizing, considering the example of Gwen and Morgana right next to them.
In a land of myth and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom now rests on the shoulders of four, their names: Merlin, Arthur, Guinevere, and Morgana

Summary
In which Merlin is immortal, used all of his free time to do things because he'd go crazy otherwise and got filthy rich like an old vampire without meaning to, hung out with Shakespeare and a bunch of other people because why not, got gifted a pretty Cadillac that he hates by a charity he'd forgotten he'd donated to, and has a too-high alcohol tolerance for his liking.
Oh, and he bought Avalon Lake.
Because "Shut up, I just like looking at this lake and no, I don't need help."
And a bunch of other mansions and estates and penthouses all over the country because "What if he wants to live somewhere else, I need to have OPTIONS."

Summary
Started off as my answer to Tumblr's @merthurmicrofic prompt: Touch
Again, my ability to understand Micro fails me.
Like really fails me, second chapter destroyed microfiction dreams.Merlin meets Lance's group of Alpha friends, and find they're all very big on touch.
Well, all it seems, except Arthur.Just simple cuteness, no 18+ content. Tonnes of swearing though, and some insinuations, but no actual sex.
Now with second chapter Arthur's POV
And kissing, because as a commenter rightfully pointed out, no kissing was unacceptable.
Happy Reading!Series

Summary
Merlin has lived a hundred lives. A healer. A chef. An architect. A man lost in the quiet rhythm of the world.
In the year 2025, he works at a small art museum, curating an exhibit of Arthurian legends. The paintings unsigned, half-forgotten are more than historical curiosities. They are memories. His own. Each brushstroke a thread tied to a man he can’t afford to forget.
But even memory fades. After fifteen centuries of waiting, Merlin’s grasp on the past begins to blur until a stranger walks in. A young man with familiar eyes.
But the question was, was it really Arthur returned ? Or just another echo — a face that haunts every lifetime?

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
After the fire in the ward's room, Merlin chooses to ignore Gaius's warnings and help Morgana. The witch accepts Merlin's help, not knowing the true extent of the servant's power or his secret identity.
One night, however, the sorceress receives a prophecy. A prophecy that changes the course of everyone's life, but it's not like Merlin hadn't changed that already. The dragonlord was never supposed to help Morgana; he had strayed from his way, and now, The Gods were furious. They didn't, however, punish him; no, they just changed his destiny to one he can't escape.
Arthur finds out far too much in one night, leaving him to wonder if his friend hides more than what's already been exposed.

This is an absolute spin-off, no order or chronological use of og timeline whatsoever!
I don't know what I'm doing, and that's the beauty of it!
