Summary
Arthur’s heart dropped to his feet. “It’s too hard, Gaius. I can’t do it anymore.” Arthur had never heard Merlin in so much pain before. Not when they’ve been attacked or kidnapped or almost killed. But that, it sounded like Merlin was choking on his own cries, on his own tears, and it took everything Arthur had for him to not ram the door open in that moment. “I can’t keep lying to him. I can’t keep doing this to Arthur!”
Merlin and Gaius were always so busy running around the citadel trying to stop assassins and sorcerers and everything else in-between that they often forgot other people were around. Whether it was the fact that their door being closed didn’t suddenly mean no one would ever be able to hear them, or the fact that talking loudly in a hallway wasn’t a secret place, the two of them seemed to give out more of their treason acts than they knew.
With the Guards and Knights of Camelot stumbling across these two men in various stages of illegal activities, just how long can Merlin stay off the pyre and keep his head? And just how long will it be until it’s Arthur himself who overhears one of their conversations about all the ways they break the law?

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.
(Now with extra epilogues!)

Summary
“If the sigil is a proposal, then what does the ring mean?” he asked, his voice dropping to a whisper.
“The ring itself? Nothing,” Arthur reassured him, leaning closer as if drawn by Merlin’s quiet tone. “But that ring, given by me? It means I’m offering you the most fragile, vulnerable part of myself and asking you to keep it safe.”

Summary
He grips the reigns in clenched fists, trying to stay mounted as his horse wildly dashes through the snow and underbrush, dodging trees in its panic to flee the beast that had frightened it. Merlin can hear the knights following on their horses, hoof beats pounding into the snow. He tries ineffectively to stop his frightened mare, but it is of no use, she keeps chase deeper into the forest.
“Merlin!”
He peers over his shoulder to see Arthur close behind, chasing the shrieking animal, which upon further inspection, Merlin realizes is another boar, this one overgrown and fiercesome. It’s tusks like daggers, the length of a man’s forearm, and razor sharp. With wide eyes he meets Arthur’s, which are staring back at him with poorly concealed worry.

Summary
“Merlin,” Arthur grumbled to his servant, who was sitting by the fire Merlin looks over his shoulder at Arthur curled up in his bedroll. “Get over here, it’s cold.”
“You want me to come and cuddle you for warmth?” Merlin asked, tauntingly, but makes to stand up anyway.
“It’s not cuddling,” Arthur insisted, though he opens his arms for Merlin to crawl into them. “It’s called survival. I’m stealing your warmth. It’s your duty to make sure I’m kept comfortable, is it not?”
~~~
Arthur doesn't realise Merlin is his Favourite. Merlin has no idea what a King's Favourite even is. Everyone else in Camelot knows Merlin is Arthur's Favourite.

Summary
“Who am I to wed?”
Balinor and Hunith shared a nervous glance. Balinor knew this would be the hardest part—he wasn’t the most pleased about it either, but it was the best idea he had and, well, at least he knew his son would be marrying into a good family.
Even if he held his own biases against the patriarch.
Merlin stared on, expectant—arms now crossed over his chest in perhaps the least princely manner Balinor could picture. Hunith pulled her hand from his knee, and he braced himself, head high and shoulders back.
“Arthur Pendragon,”
or
Balinor & Uther have a deep mistrust of each other due to a petty feud in their past friendship, and therefore the only way to bring their kingdoms together is through marriage--the only way they'll trust one another to not destroy their kingdom is if they are united.

Summary
Arthur is relieved when Balinor the Dragonlord agrees to help, but dismayed when he refuses to come back to Camelot. Instead, Arthur is stuck waiting in the middle of nowhere while Balinor calls the dragon. To make matters worse, Arthur’s idiot manservant clearly has a massive crush on the guy: despite him being a grumpy, straggly, cave-dwelling sorcerer, who makes terrible cabbage pottage, Merlin hasn’t taken his eyes off him! Arthur will tolerate this nonsense for a couple of days, but only because he must save Camelot.

Summary
Merlin has carved out a nice little life for himself on the outskirts of Camelot, where magic is held in far less suspicion than in the citadel. It's lonely, but peaceful. One day, the Knights of Camelot come to arrest him for the sorcery he has failed to hide well enough, and a hostile, awkward first meeting with the prince will force him into new situations and change his life in ways he never thought possible.
In which Merlin doesn't go to Camelot, but meets Arthur anyway.

Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Plan Your Future Based on Crystals by DSabian
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
26 Mar 2023
Tags
Summary
The druids of old created the Prophecy of The Once and Future King.
And they got it wrong.
“They what?”
“Wrong. They misinterpreted it.” Whatshisname is excited and has no idea Merlin is about ten seconds away from having the meltdown to end all meltdowns. Possibly literally. He is really rather stupidly powerful in his old age.
“Explain. Quickly. Less excitedly.”
Or
There are reasons why you shouldn’t plan your future based on crystals. Or Druids. Or Dragons. Merlin would like a do-over, thanks.___
Continues on from canon, not a time travel fic.
