Summary
He turned sideways to remove the king's hand and stepped out of the door.
'Please..' Uther repeated with barely a whisper, but his only reply was the sound of footsteps getting further and further away, disappearing into the night.

Summary
‘Great, a fail-safe, so specific. I love it already.’ he rolled his eyes. ‘Seems like I’ll be going in as blindly as ever, trying to figure it out as I go. So.. when are you planning to do it?’
‘Tonight. There is no point in delaying it, I only had to talk to you first, now that it’s done, there is nothing else holding me back.’ the woman responded with a determined look on her face. ‘Do you need any more time, say your goodbyes to anyone in particular, or are you ready to reunite with your king?’

Summary
It was then that Merlin heard a laugh. Chills prickled down his spine, and his heart stopped. It actually stopped in his chest – or skipped a beat... or five – because he felt it stutter back to life and pound like charging horses at the sound, because he knew that laugh. He knew it like he knew the gentle squeeze of Gaius’s hand on his shoulder, the loving press of his mother’s lips to his brow, and the ever-present whisper of magic along his fingertips.
When Arthur is killed during a run-of-the-mill bandit attack, Camelot fades beneath a permanent mire of spitting rain and fog. They call it: The Grey. Left behind, broken and bereft of his king, Merlin lives in a haze... until the day he awakens to find the sun inexplicably shining. As if it had never left at all.
A tale of loss, supernatural meddling, time travel, hidden identities, crazy twists, and love.
(Set after Season 4)

Summary
“I’m leaving.” Merlin says, because this situation already cost him his Duolingo streak, and he’s too tired to deal with Arthur when the food Gaius is serving him looks like it belongs on a list of war crimes committed by the Canadian soldiers.
“Where to?” His mentor asks, and Merlin shrugs, before going to his room and packing his bag.
“India. Gaius, I have decided I don’t give a damn, especially not when having to eat that bland food. I’ll be back in three months, make sure Arthur doesn’t die when I’m out.”
“Merlin!” And maybe, if he was younger and didn’t travel back to the past last month, he would’ve actually cared about the ‘eyebrow of disapproval’.
Or, a 1500yo Merlin gets zapped to the past during his vacation to Cuba. You’d think he’s happy to see Arthur again. He’s not.

Summary
With a beta for a manservant there is no reason Arthur would have to worry about his pheromones giving away his true emotions.
Except, Merlin isn’t a beta.
Or
Merlin slowly loses his mind as he scrambles for flimsy excuses to explain why Arthur’s scent is growing hopelessly besotted.

Summary
When Merlin went to trade his life for Arthur's, he was ready to die; but the Old Religion wanted his life, not his death, and Nimueh did not offer the bargain he was expecting.

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."
