T.W Passive Suicidal Ideation
The tears had dried. Still staining Merlin’s lovely face, framing it in pain and agony, but no longer creating rivers with their treacherous path. Not for a lack of trying, but for a lack of energy. Clear as day in the empty look in his eyes, the sniffles still persisting on each breath.
Written for Day 2 of Mercelot Week 2025, for the prompt “do you not get it? we don't ever get a happy ending, we don't ever go home!” + hurt/comfort

Summary
‘What’s going on, Merlin? Why are you… me?’
Lancelot was lying, was his first, quite absurd thought. I do not look cute when I’m confused.«»«»«»
At first, it’s just an ‘inconvenience,’ and although Merlin and Lancelot can’t figure out a way to break the enchantment, at least their bond grows stronger than ever. The snag? It all somehow leads to a discussion about allowing magic in Camelot… and the stakes suddenly get very high.

Summary
“Track him, corner him, subdue him… just like we would with any dangerous creature.”
“Not a creature, Arthur. Just Merlin.”
Merlin wasn’t supposed to hear them—but now he’s running, heart pounding, as the knights of Camelot—his friends—close in. They’d sounded so certain, so cold. He didn’t stop to ask how or why, he just ran. Now he doesn’t know where he’s going, only that he has to keep moving.

Summary
Merlin has moved on since the death of King Arthur centuries ago. Disillusioned, he had never used magic or sorcery since that day; he doubted his ability to use it now anyway. Now living in modern day England, in a place called Eastbrook, the new reformed name for Albion, the place was thriving with holiday makers.
Merlin’s best friend and part time lover, Molly Preston, was the only one who knew his true identity. Well, that’s what he thought anyway. Molly introducers him to a friend called Valla. But there is something about him that Merlin can’t quite comprehend. It was as if he knew him before. Then Vala tells Merlin some news about Arthur Pendragon, which shocks him to the core. Is Molly and Valla really who they say they are? The result, anyway, meant that Merlin must regain his magical powers quickly, if he is to help Arthur return for good. But one person stands in his way…an evil resurgent sorcerer called Mordred.

Summary
The Central Government had long decreed that love was an inefficient distraction, allowing only authorised unions for controlled reproduction. Every emotion was regulated, every desire smothered in the name of perfect order.
Everywhere, screens broadcast the same propaganda: the world as it was now was the triumph of the Golden Age, an era of peace and perfection achieved after the chaos of the past.
In official speeches, the Central Government, through the voice of Morgause—a woman as insipid as she was heartless—claimed to have restored humanity to its original purity, just as the gods had always intended.

Summary
"Uther had been pissed when Arthur announced that instead of being a solo artist he was going to be part of a band but then their first album had gone platinum and the media had dubbed him the prince of rock and it had gotten Uther off their backs for a while.
The second album hadn't done as well as the first by a large margin. People were starting to call them a one-hit wonder. Uther tried to make the point to Arthur that he could branch off on his own now. Start his solo career. But Arthur wasn't having it. So now they were searching for their 'new sound' which Merlin had continuously rolled his eyes at. They were all on edge which meant they were all fighting all the time and Merlin was stuck playing mediator."
I.E. all the boys are in a rock band that has lost its sound. That is until they find out that Merlin is a brilliant piano player. But with Merlin's stage fright to overcome and Gwaine's budding feelings will they be able to keep the band together?

Summary
“I think it’s time you joined me on rounds, Merlin,” announced Gaius one morning. “Not home visits yet, but you should watch how I conduct examinations in these chambers first.” Merlin sighed and reluctantly agreed.
“Who’s first?” he asked, plastering on a cheery smile.
“Guinevere,” said Gaius and Merlin frowned. What was wrong with Gwen? She’d seemed quite fine yesterday. “Maybe you should leave for this one. Guinevere may not feel comfortable with you, seeing as she’s your friend.”
As expected, the door to the Physician’s Quarters opened and Gwen entered, looking quite agitated. “Gwen! I’m gonna go, don’t worry,” he added, hoping to relieve her slightly.
Gwen took a seat on the patient’s cot and said, “Merlin, stay.”
“Are… are you sure? You don’t seem very—”
“I’m pregnant,” she blurted, her eyes widening. Merlin froze at the door and turned to Gaius, whose eyebrow rose almost instantaneously.
Or Gwen's reputation is at stake but Merlin is determined to help her. Let's hope everything works out.

Summary
He had followed him in silence to the edge of a tiny clearing in the woods. In the middle of it was a rock high enough to almost sit on, but Arthur had ignored it and stopped a little further on, his arms folded.
He had his back to him, which Merlin was momentarily grateful for because it had given him a way to catch his breath and hide any emotion from his face before the other began to speak.
It didn't take long. Only a few seconds of silence passed before Arthur's voice reached him in a painful whisper.
"Is this how it will be from now on? Will we ignore each other while pretending to enjoy someone else's company?"
Merlin closed his eyes, feeling the usual boulder weigh on his lungs. He wondered if he would get used to that feeling sooner or later. Probably not.
"Is this what you were doing? Pretending to enjoy Gwen's company?"
Arthur's shoulders stiffened, but he didn't respond.
"And let me guess," he continued, now blabbering on. "You think that's what I was doing too, right? With Lancelot?"
There was a moment of silence, and then Arthur answered, in a flat voice.
"Was it?"
"No". -

"Ah, Merlin," Arthur said, looking up from his desk. "I expect you have my speech ready for tomorrow?"
Merlin nodded and approached the desk. He bowed his head as he put the scroll down then kept it bowed before moving back and standing in front of him.
Arthur, immediately, was suspicious.
"Merlin? Is something the matter?"
Merlin didn't answer, just keeping his head down.
