    Summary

    When Gwaine was banished from Camelot, Merlin swore that he would find a way to see him again. Arthur’s ill-advised quest for the trident of the Fisher King proves to be the perfect opportunity to reunite with his druidic lover under the excuse of saving the prince’s life. Again.

    Summary

    'At Emrys’ feet Merlin will fall, and from Merlin’s demise he shall rise.'

    That's what the prophecy had said, after all.

    More specifically: Arthur is sent on a quest with the powerful warlock Emrys and strikes up an unwilling friendship. It feels like betrayal, when Emrys was the one who killed Merlin all those years ago.

    Summary

    Merlin knows five things about the unconscious man in his bed:
    1. He is called Gwaine
    2. He saved Arthur’s life in that tavern brawl
    3. He needs urgent medical attention
    4. He is devastatingly handsome
    5. He is a druid, judging by the tattoo on his ankle

    It’s that last part that really sticks out in Merlin’s mind, though item four is a close contender…

    Summary

    The floors didn’t need to be scrubbed. The most spotless Merlin had ever seen them truly. Absolutely not needing of the extra clean as they so usually did. Taunting him with the absurd notion that they were perfectly pristine. Free of mud and dirt and dust. Cold and harsh against his knees. The chore surely going to be contributing to his back pain in the future.

    And yet, it was so much better use of his time, than what was expected of him today. He would gladly be here, doing this, then the alternative.

    i.e My insane attempt to get Arthur to see that magic isn't all that bad while showering Merlin in enough love to smother him!

    Summary

    Merlin has fulfilled his destiny. Albion is united and magic is restored to the land- but nothing in the prophecies had mentioned what to do afterward. Merlin's old roles are suddenly filled by people more competent than him, and there is no need for him any longer.
     
    So Merlin disappears.
