Summary
Healer Potter can heal injuries that no one else can and gets a new patient in his specialized ward at St. Mungo's. It's clear from the start that this patient is broken, with injuries and abuse dating years. But Harry is surprised to discover that the patient is Draco Malfoy. For the next three months, Harry has to heal his injuries from an apparent suicide attempt, but soon he realizes that it's deeper than that.
Draco is fresh out of Azkaban and Harry knows that the guards must have viciously tortured him, but Draco isn't talking about it. He's set up to stay in the Mental Health ward permanently if Harry doesn't heal him physically and mentally. At the same time, Harry isn't the righteous force of anger and courage that he once was. He quit the Aurors and suffers from extreme social anxiety, panic attacks and PTSD attacks, though it's not from war. Harry has to deal with his problems, too, but maybe not alone anymore as Draco is there to recover with him.
Trigger warning - discussions about sexual assaults, associated terminology and abuse. Panic attacks and some sleeping, eating and drinking disorders.
This is a story of recovery from severe emotional distress on both their parts.

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!)

Words I'll never speak, speeches you'll never read by thelastpendragon
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
14 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
It was the evening of Samhain and, like always, Arthur read over the speech Merlin had written for him before the feast. Only this time, his words almost moved him to tears. He knew Merlin was a gifted writer, but this was something else. This was personal. And so devastating that anyone who read it may think the author of such speech had undergone the deepest tragedy. And he couldn't help but wonder...
Just how much grief was Merlin carrying behind that cheeky smile?
Or: what their dynamic could've been in S5 if Arthur was just a bit more perceptive and less emotionally constipated.

Summary
“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.
Jenny Grinteeth is a game they play. But as Merlin is sucked into life at Camelot, he wanders alone more than ever. He is surrounded by people, but he doubts they love him; they can’t really even know him. The loneliness becomes so routine, he forgets his mother’s warnings and the funny, little rhymes, which might otherwise have saved his life.

In Which Peter Parker Actually Cannot Thermoregulate by Bookworm7250
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man (Tom Holland Movies)
15 Feb 2025
Tags
Summary
Tony didn't really care who Spider-Man was. He was probably just some stupid college kid. So when they needed more help with the Rogues, Tony didn't go to Spider-Man. He hadn't even bothered to find out who the kid was. The kid helped old ladies cross the street, not wrangle in superhumans and their very dangerous, very armed associates.
Peter was just a regular high school kid. Except he didn't go to high school because he ran away after he was put in foster care because his aunt had died. And he hadn't really been a kid since the spider bite. But he was doing okay for himself, he'd made The Spidey Suit 2.0 which didn't look like pajamas so that was a win. And he'd even found a nice warehouse to settle in. And, okay, his boss wasn't really his boss because he wasn't really employed there (that would cause too many questions) but at least he got paid. And he was Spider-Man, except no-one had heard Spider-Man talk for months, not since May had died. But that's okay. He was okay. Yep, everything was just fine.
Until maybe it really wasn't anymore.
(Mostly a self indulgent fic because I got mad that Peter Parker fics made him thermoregulate when they specifically said he couldn't)

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
Even though they’ve defeated Morgana, Merlin and Arthur are still under threat from her most loyal followers. When these rebel sorcerers kill eleven knights as a message of war, the king and his warlock go to try to make peace with them. But the leaders learned a lot of Old Religion spells from Morgana before she died, including how to summon a creature that will poison the magic of anyone it bites…and they have their victim carefully chosen. Merlin gets better, of course he does, but his closeness to death hits Arthur like a punch to the gut. When a visiting prince takes a special interest in Merlin, Arthur sees it as his chance to set things right in the only way he knows how--by sending Merlin away for his own safety.

Summary
Arthur was born of magic. Scared and unsure of how to use his power and a father who hates all that is magic, will he and his new friend Merlin be able to learn and co-exist in a world that was made of magic?
Who will magic call her own in the end?Excerpt:
“Can magic corrupt a person?” Arthur hated how weak he sounded, but it is truly something he didn’t understand and he wanted to know the truth.
“Is a sword evil or good?” Merlin countered the question slightly. He knows that Arthur needs to see that magic is neutral that it is the wielder who manipulates it.
“Neither.” Arthur gave Merlin an unsure look.Updates: Sundays

Summary
When Merlin's magic is exposed shortly before season 2 starts, the path of destiny starts changing forever. Now on the run with Arthur, Morgana, and Gwen. Merlin hopes to convince Arthur that magic is totally good instead of him and Morgana just being an exception. Morgana, meanwhile, hopes to convince him to usurp his father. As allies are gathered and Arthur realizes the injustice in his kingdom, it looks more and more like he will have to act in a drastic way. A way he dreads.
Meanwhile, Arthur and Merlin are growing closer and closer and might just have feelings for each other. Something they probably should be better about realizing, considering the example of Gwen and Morgana right next to them.
In a land of myth and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom now rests on the shoulders of four, their names: Merlin, Arthur, Guinevere, and Morgana

Summary
It was like Merlin was a joke to the entire world. How come someone like him could be born so close to Camelot?
He was literally everything the kingdom despised.
He was a magic user. A sorcerer. A powerful one at that. He was a commoner non the less.
He was a bastard child. He never met his father and his parents weren't married.
And what made matters even worse – he was attracted to men.Alternately: Merlin faces an old abuser of his past
A.N.:// Merlin has internalized homophobia. Why will be explained throughout the story. The knights and Arthur deal with it as good as they can.

Summary
Merlin was mute around people he didn’t trust, and Arthur supposed that was strange, but okay. Merlin never spoke around Arthur, and that was somewhat less okay. Merlin could use magic, and… well, that one took a bit of reconciling. Reveal fic featuring mute!Merlin.
Two-shot, some angst but mostly fluff. AU, obviously.
