Summary
Many things are different and many are the same as Harry begins his fifth year at Hogwarts.
Here, living with Dursleys that aren't just neglectful but outright abusive made Harry unable to withstand more than a few weeks of Trelawney's "predictions" back in his third year. Instead, he took Ancient Runes, and uncovered that he had a prodigious knack for runic magic, which opened the door to the darkest of rituals and the magic of mind and soul. A year later, Harry uncovered something horrible within himself - a parasite.
So, when Voldemort sends him dreams of corridors and doors, Harry sends him pieces of hell in return.

Summary
Escaping Morgana's most recent attempt to end Arthur has the unfortunate result of everyone forgetting that Merlin ever existed. Now alone, Merlin continues to work towards the goal of peaceful magical integration, but he also has to work to find his place again amongst the knights and Arthur. If he's not just Arthur's bumbling servant, is there a chance they could be something more than friends? Or has Fate already written them as a tragedy that can't be avoided? And why won't this stupid fumorroh in his neck die already?
It's not an easy life to be a child of Fate's control. Will Merlin be able to save them or will he bring them all to ruin?
OR
An extremely alternative take on A Servant of Two Masters s4e6.

Summary
“Please… I just need some time. To come to terms with this,” Arthur pleaded.
Merlin rose from his seat, “But you will? Come to terms with this I mean. I just… Arthur I could not bear to lose you. Everything I have done, everything that I am is for you. I don’t need you to be okay with this right now, I know this is a shock, but eventually? Do you think we will get there?” Merlin asked desperately. He forgot long ago who he was without Arthur, and honestly he didn’t quite feel the urge to figure it back out.
“I… yes, Merlin. It will take time. I’ve a lot to think about, but I do care for you. I think we will get there… eventually.”
Looking back, Merlin could almost laugh. How could Arthur say that and still call Merlin the liar?
Or
Arthur discovers Merlin’s magic and doesn’t take to it quite as fast as Merlin hoped. Or at all really. Can Arthur figure out what he wants before the choice is taken from him?
OR
I heard ‘You’re Losing Me’ by T. Swift and this manifested.

Summary
Who is Merlin? That is a question that many people ask everyday in the walls of Camelot.
To most people he makes sense on the outside, but when you befriend him, you learn something else. That there is something about him, like he carries like an intense weight, he seems constantly burdened and yet he brushes it off and smiles like nothing is wrong.
Something is clearly wrong.
And all it takes is one thing for everything to come out.
---
Merlin, his Merlin, was lying limp on the floor. After performing magic. His Merlin was a sorcerer. Yet he defended Arthur, a sorcerer like Merlin should hate Arthur. Merlin will always be an anomaly to others, it didn’t matter how but to Arthur he just made sense. And now he needs to make sense again.
