Summary
It was over. Arthur was here. The Lamia was slain. Gwen was alright. The knights would be back to normal. It was over.
Able to relax for the first time in days, he let his knees buckle and his back slide down the wall. He hit the ground, and his vision turned to mist.
Merlin didn't make it out of his encounter with the Lamia unscathed, or so Arthur thinks when he slays the beast and finds Merlin slumped against the wall and bleeding. When he learns the true source of Merlin's injuries he is furious. He does his best to push that anger away though, because being there for Merlin matters far more right now.
or
The Lamia episode but Merthur, and the knights actually injured Merlin.

Summary
A place to collect all my stories that take place in the same AU as my longfic Kintsugi.
Take place before, during, and after the story. Series ordering is thematic rather than necessarily chronological.
Marked as complete because there's no planned end to this, I'll just be adding more stories if I come up with more.Most can be read standalone.

Everything That Was Once Hidden (Becomes Something Held) by maeven_k

Summary
“It’s my job to protect you,” Merlin whispers.
Arthur’s brow creases. “At the cost of yourself?”
Merlin gives a crooked, painful smile. “That’s what protection is, isn’t it?”
Arthur doesn’t speak; he doesn’t know how to respond to that, how to even begin to unravel the lifetime of sacrifice tangled in those few words. Instead, he reaches out. Slowly. Gently. Fingers brushing Merlin’s forearm. Merlin flinches, not because he’s afraid, but because the touch is kind.
“Let me help,” Arthur says, voice raw. “Just this once. Let me take care of you.”
It's time for someone to hold what was once hidden.

Summary
Aithusa can sense her egg-father as a steady presence in the back of her mind, even when he's not with her. His dreams and thoughts blur together with hers, until she wakes from nightmares of a pyre burning and feels his pain mingle with hers.
It’s how she knows to go to him when he’s lost, stumbling through the forest and close to death from a mace wound to his chest.

Summary
“I mean it,” she said. “Don’t kill anyone, Astarion. You’ve gotten what you wanted. Seven thousand lives was enough.”
“I don’t take orders from you anymore. You just said so, yourself.”
“The moment you kill someone,” Rose replied, “is the moment I'll know that my next task is to stop you.”
“Darling,” Astarion grinned, “I would sincerely like to see you try.”
--
The Vampire Ascendent has crossed a line. Eleven years after making the biggest mistake of her life and losing the man she loved, tiefling wizard (now Archmage) Rosalie decides it’s time to put this Astarion in the ground for good. Hopefully, both her head and her heart are strong enough to see this awful task through to its end.
