    Summary

    TW: Suicide

    Arthur wakes to find a black serpent coiled on his bed, which is frightening enough. But then Merlin bursts into his chambers and magics the creature out of existence. Magic is outlawed in Camelot, and the reveal of Merlin's magic leaves Arthur with no choice but to sentence his loyal and once-trusted friend to death. Which goes somehow worse than what one might expect for it to go. And then Arthur wakes up; and there's a black serpent coiled on his bed. And then Merlin is bursting through the doors...

    Summary

    At some point the monster chasing Merlin had had names that meant something to him.

    Percival
    Elyan
    Lancelot
    Gwaine
    Leon
    Arthur

    But not anymore. Now, the group of knights slinks through the forest at break-neck speed, with such a degree of practiced and lethal unison they may as well have been the golden dragon curled on each of their shoulders.

    So Merlin is running.

    Merlin is running for his life.

    OR

    Merlin accidentally reveals himself as a sorcerer to Arthur and the knights. A very traumatizing 24 hour sorcerer-hunt proceeds this, that leads to a very conflicted Arthur, a very injured Merlin, and a very angry Gwaine.

    Summary

    Merlin's mother raised him right when it comes to food: you finish your plate and you don't eat other people's food. He knows this. He isn't about to go back on it.

    Coming to Camelot is no different. He just has to figure out what food he can eat and he'll be alright. After all, he can't exactly expect the luxuries he had in Ealdor, now can he?

    Summary

    “You really do have a soulmate.” Arthur said with a frown and Merlin shrugged. “That might be a problem.”

    "Can’t stand anybody but you having a shot a true love?” Merlin asked flatly. Arthur wrinkled his nose.

    “No, idiot. Spirit animals don’t get along unless they belong to their soulmate. If my bird sees your hideous lion-“

    “He is quite dashing, thank you. Besides, your bloody bird is too loud-“

    “My bird is just trying to do me a favor and tune you out!” Arthur snapped and took a long breath “The point is they can’t be around each other. So unless you want Emmy to pluck out this lion’s eyes I suggest you tell him to bugger off.” He snapped. Merlin was inclined to tell Arthur to bugger off himself, but was immediately distracted by one word.

    “Emmy?” He repeated and smiled. “You did name him.”

    Or

    In a time of myth and a land of magic, your soulmate’s spirit animal looks after you (even after you meet your soulmate). Arthur and Merlin are oblivious fools. We know this. That doesn’t change here.
