Summary
Jobbing actor Merlin is despairing of ever getting his big break. With the acting world seemingly set against him, he takes a job as far away from London's glitzy theatreland as he can think of – at a down-at-heel castle in the far north of Scotland. There, he encounters a gruff, kilt-wearing shepherd with sturdy knees and the sort of Viking beard that Merlin would just love to bury his face in. After a rocky start, friendship blooms - and perhaps the potential for something more. But both men are hiding secrets that could blow the whole thing wide open.
In which BBC Merlin's characters get the Hallmark movie treatment. In Scotland. Because Arthur obviously needs to wear a kilt and strut around the highlands looking pretty.

Summary
'Merlin’s world had been greyscale for his entire life. Everyone started out that way, until you met your soulmate and the colours around you materialised and you were supposed to live happily ever after, or so everyone said. Except Merlin, who saw hundreds of new people every show and had been all around the world on tours, was still yet to find the person that would turn his world bright.'
Merlin, singer and violinist of Ambrosia, has been looking for his soulmate for years. He's sick of the greys that make up his world. With his band on tour and Camelot up next, maybe his colours are closer than he thinks.
This is Prismatic from Merlin's point of view, they can be read together or alone.

Summary
Merlin never moved on from Arthur. Not really. He had, however, managed to allow himself to live in the moment a bit more.
That is, of course, until Arthur Pendragon crawled out of a lake, and Merlin's world turned upside down.
Cue evil sorceresses, time travel, and an adventure for the ages.
Oh, and Merthur, of course. -

Summary
Muscles jump in Balinor’s clenched jaw.
“I knew you wanted him,” he says. “You could never be satisfied with just your own son.”
“I need a loyal dragonlord,” Uther explains to him. “And we both know that it won’t be you.”
“You vile man,” Balinor says. “You used my love. You used my son.”
“And I would do it again. Do we have a deal?”
(Uther, desperately lonely after sending Arthur away to become a knight, manipulates Balinor into giving him Merlin to keep as his pet dragonlord. Balinor, furious at having been tricked a second time, joins a rising resistance to Uther's rule. When Arthur comes home, he falls in love with his father’s strange ward and in doing so unwittingly ignites a war.)

Summary
Have you ever wondered what you would do if you could talk to a medieval person? What concepts or things would blow their minds? Well, Merlin used to *be* a medieval person, and now that he's back in the past to fix his mistakes, why not answer that question for everyone.
Follow Merlin and he says, does, and has things that are normal to us, but batshit crazy to anyone from the fifth century.
(DM me on Tumblr if you have hcs of modern things Merlin would like that you want to see written about)
