Summary
"But the sorcerer--the terrorist, the one who hated mundanes. What became of him?" Merlin asked.
“He’s probably dead," said Hunith.
“What did they call him?”
She gathered the fabric of her kirtle in her hands. “Balinor,” she said, looking away. The side of her face that remained facing him was spotted with old, familiar scars, mottling her eyebrow into patches and making her right ear small with ruin. The skin was dragged like rivers over her cheekbone and jaw, a little pale and tough. Merlin loved her, loved this face, though he knew it disgusted the town. But, for the first time, Merlin reckoned he knew just how this had happened to her, just whose fire this was.
And if that Balinor was alive, and Merlin ever happened upon him, Merlin would kill the son of a bitch. -

Summary
Merlin has never learnt to control his magic. It is completely guided by his emotions and that usually doesn't turn out well.
Arthur was chased out of Camelot as a young prince. His own sister killed their father and now he is just waiting for the right moment to reclaim his kingdom.
When Merlin and Arthur meet, a hope seems to take root in the world that all will be well.
Magical figures, dark magic, lies and betrayal make their experiences together anything but easy. But deep friendships, trust, loyalty and love bring them ever closer to their goal.
Will Merlin find the control he needs and can Arthur forget his past to open his heart? -

Summary
“𝘈𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘶𝘳, 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬!”
No… he had been in it.
“𝘔𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘯? 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵?”
He had been in it. He was sure of that.
“𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘢, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘦.”
And he had not been alone.
“𝘐 𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘌𝘮𝘳𝘺𝘴-”
His hand flew up to his neck, almost by instinct. But there was nothing there.
What… what had happened in that hovel?

Summary
After Arthur disobeyed his father and retrieved the Mortaeus flower for Merlin's cure, Arthur's frantic pleading to save Merlin led to a misunderstanding that actually convinced Uther to take the flower to Gaius.
Now all Arthur has to do is explain to Merlin why Uther thinks they are lovers.
And while Uther is supportive of the relationship, he requires it kept secret. But in his paranoia, Uther misinterprets every innocent interaction between the two as something far more intimate, to the embarrassment of everyone involved.
And then the knights begin showing up...

“Never wander alone, my darling, or Jenny Grinteeth will get you,” Hunith used to say. “Or if you forget, make sure you say the rhyme - that wards her off.”
Jenny Grinteeth leave me be, my mother loves me, leave me be.

He is surrounded by people, but he doubts they love him; they can’t really even know him.

Summary
The rain beat against the glass of the windows, filling the apartment with the strange yellow light of the storm. It was peaceful, the sound of the rain soporific as Merlin worked. He sat at their dining table, books and papers spread out across infront of him. He had been working since the morning, and with his headphones on he was lost to the world around him. He always worked best when it rained, when the world suddenly felt a whole lot less urban. He got so lost in his studies, sometimes it felt like he had been there, like he had lived through it all. Sometimes it was hard to disconnect, when he had first started his masters he’d been plagued by dreams, some he could have sworn felt like memories, but now they came and went, like some great wrong had been amended.

Wake Me Up When You’re Reincarnated (when I'm wiser and I'm older) by unrealisticdreamer101
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)

Summary
Arthur died. Merlin didn’t. (
Unfortunately).Fifteen hundred years later, Merlin’s still here—older, grumpier, and very much done with humanity’s nonsense. He’s spent most of that time waiting for Arthur to return, keeping his magic and his expectations lower than sea level.
Then, in the chaos of the mid 21st century—climate crisis, endless wars, suspiciously bad Wi-Fi—Merlin feels it. Arthur is back. Not as a king, of course. That would be far too easy. No, he’s reborn into a wealthy but entirely unroyal family, with the charisma of a golden retriever and the attention span of a mayfly. Ooh, but Arthur's enemies also seem to have reincarnated. Merlin doesn't remember reading a disclaimer about that! Arthurs memory seems a bit patchy too. By which it seems is has almost entirely vanished. Slight problem?
The world doesn’t need monarchs anymore. It needs celebrities. Icons. So Merlin reinvents himself as a kindergartener (long story), grows up beside Arthur (longer story), and eventually becomes his manager (don’t ask).
Reincarnation, slow burn friendship (which threatens to become romance, how horrific), and one very tired wizard trying to keep destiny on track.

Summary
Merlin likes his sleep. He likes it so much, in fact, that when he was still in high school, his mother had to resort to drastic measures in order to get him up in the morning. The most effective of these- including but not limited to a bucket of ice cold water, an air horn, and once an entire mariachi band playing at the foot of Merlin's bed- turned out to be the smell of cooking bacon and pancakes, accompanied by the sounds of sizzling grease and butter.
Therefore, Merlin is very displeased when he arrives at Camelot University to find that his halfwitted, Ken blonde, stupidly fit roommate snores like two freight trucks trying to procreate on a nightly basis.OR
Merlin's new roommate snores, and he is not pleased.
