Summary
Across centuries of plagues, wars, and new names for old cruelties, Merlin endures. After Camlann he walks the long road alone, a sorcerer who will not die and a lover who cannot forget. When grief finally tears a seam in time, he falls back into Camelot on the first day of his destiny. This time Merlin is smarter, quiet where he must be, ruthless where it counts, and determined to change fate for his golden-haired king.
“That’s not very knightly of you, darling,” he called, voice lazy as a cat sunning on a sill.
Arthur turned. Blue eyes, quick and keen and infuriatingly curious, flicked over him. “Excuse me?”
“Using a servant as a moving target.” Merlin tipped his head toward the boy trotting in a circle, the shield clattering against his spine. “It’s crude. If you wanted to show off, you could have asked me to watch. I make an excellent audience.
A squire choked. The boy stumbled to a grateful halt.
Arthur’s mouth flattened into the princely version of a smile’s shadow. “Do you know who you’re talking to?”

Based on a post I found on Insta, Uther notices a bunch of problems that could only be solved by magic spontaneously finding themselves taken care of around Arthur, and concludes that it must be due to Arthur's magical conception. Chaos ensues.

Summary
Arthur has waited for Naming Day all his life, but could not be more disappointed when he finds out who the Soul Stone names for him. It isn’t the prisoner he meets in the dungeons, but his heart aches for him anyway.
Merlin has never thought about soulmates until they come knocking at his door in Ealdor. Convinced that there’s something wrong with the Soul Stone, he travels to magic-banned Camelot to end its influence. He never thought that he would be enraptured by the crown prince who comes to interrogate him.

Summary
In the morning, Merlin knows, Arthur will don his crown again. But for now their world is only Arthur’s drowsy kisses, and Merlin tracing circles on Arthur’s bare chest, and the night outside is deep and dark and still. There are no conspiracies, no dragons, no prophecies relentlessly unraveling.
Merlin wishes, selfishly, that dawn might never come.
(And the dawn obeys.)
