Summary
An AU of the season 4 finale, wherein Arthur refuses to abandon his castle during Morgana's seige, and Merlin refuses to use magic to take away Arthur's will, so they're at an impasse.
Rather than break his moral code to bewitch Arthur, Merlin decides to break his secrecy. If Arthur doesn't want to leave his Castle... fine. They won't. Merlin will just have to take it back for him... and all that entails.

Summary
“It is not like you,” Arthur muses suddenly, and very, very quietly, “to lie to me.”
Merlin’s lungs freeze in his chest. “What?” he chokes out.
Or: yet another 5x05 The Disir AU.

Summary
Set after the Merlin Series 5 Finale "Diamond of the Day".
Canon Compliant. In Character. Arthur Pendragon Returns.
Cover art by Lao-Pendragon------
For many long years Merlin waited.
For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.
Until one day, suddenly, it did.
When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.
Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, & True Love.

Bookmarker's Notes
Grief so deep I can feel it in my bones, but healing so powerful my heart sings. Beautiful story.

Summary
Arthur, Merlin, and the knights stop in at a local tavern for a hot meal and drinks. They don’t expect knights from the nearby kingdom to drop by as well or for one knight in particular to take a rather special interest in Merlin. And, honestly, they aren’t having it.
Basically Merlin starts a tavern brawl but really it’s not his fault.
He can’t help he’s pretty.

Summary
After ten years, Arthur thinks he has Merlin all figured out. But as he watches Merlin, he finds out that he has more questions than answers. The longer he thinks about it, the more uneasy he feels. So he pushes it aside. Except, he can no longer ignore the questions he has about Merlin.
Not your everyday reveal!fic.
