Summary
Merlin had failed. Despite all his efforts, Arthur had ended up dead in his arms on the shores of Avalon, so close to salvation. Surely, this could not be how their shared destiny was supposed to end? No, it was all Merlin’s fault—he had made all the wrong choices, misinterpreting prophecy after prophecy. If only he could go back and try again, now that he knew better, maybe he could right his wrongs. Maybe he— Oh. Maybe he could go back…
Ignoring Kilgharrah’s protests about the impossibility of what he aimed to do, Merlin let all his power loose, becoming one with the fabric of the world and the magic he was born of. After following the bond he shared with Arthur through the winding paths of time, he finally emerged a decade into the past, having successfully seized a second chance to get this whole destiny thing right. Unfortunately, he would have to win Arthur’s trust all over again, seeing as Merlin was alone in remembering anything of the future he was hoping to change. Or…was he?

Summary
A simple scouting mission ends in a thunderstorm, an abandoned shack, and the realization that Merlin’s been hiding a fever since morning.
What follows is several days of stubborn illness, Gaius’s no-nonsense caretaking, and Arthur’s very practical insistence on keeping Merlin within arm’s reach until he’s fully recovered.
Storms pass. Some promises don’t.Bookmarked by Tabbycat32

Summary
“If you so much as touch us, Emrys will-“ Merlin's heart nearly stops.
“Emrys?” The king cuts off in turn, confusion in his voice.
“He’s only the embodiment of magic, last of the dragon lords, and is the most powerful warlock that has ever roamed the earth.” There is only silence as the girl's words hang in the air.
Or
Merlin saves two children from execution during a trial and plans to help them escape. No matter what happens.

Summary
Everyone in Camelot knows Merlin is basically the Queen. The guards bow to him, the servants adore him, and the council refuses to start meetings without him. Everyone's in on it—except Merlin.
Arthur’s just now noticing.
And it’s starting to drive him mad.You can also find this and more (eventually) on my Wattpad account - STAR033
