Summary
(Formerly titled "Sea-Salted Secrets")
An idea that formed from the fact that Merlin was lied to about his heritage. (A heritage that I have tweaked for the sake of this story - a self-indulgent merfolk AU)
.... .... .... ....
Suddenly the doors opened and a haggard-looking Gaius was dragged in next to Merlin and brought to his knees. He was in front of Merlin, though the warlock could still see his face from where he stood.
Gaius started chanting, his eyes glowing, Merlin felt sharp pain from where Gaius’ fingers met his skin; he cried out.
Uther had to put an arm out to keep Arthur in place as light erupted from where they’d been staring. Eyes were averted as the bright beam engulfed Merlin’s frame. When the light faded, Merlin hit the ground with a thud. -

Summary
“How is it possible for someone to find such redemption after using magic?” Arthur didn’t see his servant's flinch. King Royth smiled.
“They may not but, for the rest of their lives, they will walk in the light of His grace and mercy. Through confession and repentance they may yet be saved. Our Lord is a merciful one.”Torture fic, please read the tags.

Summary
Merlyn is young when she leaves the small village comforts of Ealdor to face the unknown in the magic-hating capital city of Camelot. It's not her fault that she has magic, and the laws will only do so much from stopping her using it, if the need arises. She wasn't just some common sorceress, after all.
She's the greatest witch who ever lived.- Words:

Summary
“What did you do now Merlin?”
“Got cursed.”
Merlin slumped into the room and fell onto the bench of the table across from Gaius, laying his head dramatically on a book of something or other Arthur didn’t bother to look too closely at.
“Cursed.” Gaius echoed, unimpressed.
“Cursed.” Merlin sighed back, like some kind of weepy maiden.
“He can’t lie,” Arthur supplied, walking further into the room and standing behind Merlin, pushing his head off the book roughly. Merlin squawked and glared at him before shaking his head and turning back to Gaius.
"It gets worse."

Summary
As an omega in Camelot, serving an alpha King, Merlin had to be careful. Careful about how he acted, careful about how he smelled, careful about who he was alone with.
As a warlock, destined to protect said alpha King, Merlin had to be careful. Careful about who Arthur was alone with, careful about what others saw, careful about the shadows that constantly surrounded them.
No matter what role he served, Merlin had to be careful.
Always, always careful.

Summary
When Merlin is lost to Arthur in a way he cannot cope with, the prince is left shattered - adrift in a world colder and lonelier than he ever imagined. But grief is only the beginning. When Merlin returns, unchanged and without memory of being gone, or why, Arthur confronts a truth he never expected: He cannot live without Merlin, for he is the half that makes him whole. Together, they must navigate the revelation of a huge secret, danger, and their own hearts - discovering that love can rise from even the darkest of tragedies, and that some souls are destined to be forever entwined.

Summary
Started off as my answer to Tumblr's @merthurmicrofic prompt: Touch
Again, my ability to understand Micro fails me.
Like really fails me, second chapter destroyed microfiction dreams.Merlin meets Lance's group of Alpha friends, and find they're all very big on touch.
Well, all it seems, except Arthur.Just simple cuteness, no 18+ content. Tonnes of swearing though, and some insinuations, but no actual sex.
Now with second chapter Arthur's POV
And kissing, because as a commenter rightfully pointed out, no kissing was unacceptable.
Happy Reading!Series
