    Summary

    A hand grasped his arm, sending a brief thrill down Merlin's nerves as he was forced around to face the person behind him. Armour gleamed in the firelight: supple chainmail glinted, and the solid iron of a pauldron curved lovingly over one broad shoulder. The length of a sword blade separated them. The point hovered, steady and sure, over Merlin's heart, braced to run him through, but he did not care about any of that. He was too busy drinking in the sight of the man before him.

    He could never forget him, no matter how many centuries had passed.

    'Arthur?'


    When Merlin ultimately fails in his destiny, the fading remnants of magic that linger in the modern world fling him not just back in time, but sideways as well. He ends up in a Camelot where all his friends are alive, well and aware of his magic.

    He ends up in a Camelot where his alternate self died almost a year ago.

    Can he, Arthur and their friends still forge the golden age he was once promised, or will grief and suspicion tear them apart?

    Summary

    Arthur and Gwen are on a picnic date having a perfectly lovely, happy time together. Merlin is there too. He's very distracting. His big, stupid eyes. His funny, stupid jokes. His gentle, stupid hands. Arthur thought he knew who the third wheel was, but now he's beginning to wonder…

    Canon era, AU. Around S2 but Arthur and Gwen are dating. Uther is still alive and Morgana has not yet encountered Morgause or decided to betray them. Arthur POV.

    Summary

    Merlin had dressed Arthur every day for a lifetime. It was a universal truth, no matter the mission: if Arthur wasn’t ready, Merlin would make sure he was.

    But Merlin never talks about the way the armor had felt when he touched it for the last time.

    A little oneshot about Merlin's grief Post-Camlann. Can be read as Merthur or gen.

    Summary

    “Is this how you want to rule?” Merlin continued. “Is this the king you want to be?”

    Arthur watched his father’s blood gather on his blade. No better than him.

    --

    Or: Merlin still saves Uther, but he doesn't lie for him.
