Summary
Arthur and his men all sucked in a breath when they saw the cage. It was pure iron, and inside was a man. Well a young one. He couldn’t have been quite twenty years.
His blue eyes were wet with tears and the rest of him were just wounds and bruises. His wrists were clearly raw and torn up under the shackles.
The boy didn’t speak but he did whine and try to cover his eyes. The whining increased when the iron hit his face.

What if everyone knew Merlin was already a warlock when they met him? What if Magic wasn’t completely illegal in Camelot? And what if uther isn’t as bad as he was in the show?

Summary
Merlin has been around for the last 1500 years and is eaten by guilt. 1500 of self-reflection, of what he could have done, what he shouldn't have done, and reflection on the people he saw die. In the modern world, he tries to blend in as much as possible, pretending to be a student and waiting for his king to come back.
But when that day comes, Arthur is not the only one to come back and Merlin doesn't know how to deal with all the pain he feels. -

Summary
OP Summary: It was supposed to be a normal hunt. It was supposed to be a normal hunt.
It was supposed to be this: they get out of the castle so Arthur can be less of a prat, the knights have that weird banter that they always do where it’s ‘we can make fun of him but if anyone else tries, you will be eviscerated,’ and Merlin gets to enjoy being in the woods because it’s nice outside and he doesn’t actually have to do that much. They only tend to hunt small things like rabbits and birds anyway.
It was not supposed to be most of the knights having to stay behind for various reasons, including Gwaine who somehow got swept into helping Leon with a council thing.
It was not supposed to be just him, Arthur, and three random knights.
It was not supposed to end like this.

Summary
Four days ago Merlin had been having a rough night after a rough few months, and had finally admitted to Arthur what he'd come, grudgingly, to accept about himself -- that he was fairly far along the asexual spectrum. Which meant, he'd told his best friend, staring fixedly at the table with his eyes burning, that he'd probably never find someone who could overlook that enough to want to be with him.
Arthur had told him that he was an idiot, and there were tons of people who didn't care much about sex and would be happy in a relationship without it, and if he'd known that was why Merlin never flirted with him he'd have asked him out years ago.
A series of mini moments inspired by Fluffcember 2023.

Summary
The tank is spectacularly brilliant. Manta rays gliding across the glass, tropical fish swimming about in bold patterns and colors. Merlin looked like a child compared to its enormity. It was ten times their size and the clearest blue they’ve ever seen.
The floor dappled with the water’s refraction, its calm hues washing over Merlin’s skin. Somewhere between this barrier of glass and the hundreds of thousands of gallons of water.Merlin just knew.
They were always meant to be painted in this light.

Summary
Merlin was supposed to have a normal day. Granted a normal day is him being tired to death by doing chores and putting up with His Majesty Pratdragon and basically, you know, surviving his daily life of a servant/secret sorcerer.
But it beats having to run from every Knight of Camelot, who are trying to woo him you know!
Now it is a race against time for Merlin and Gaius to fix this before the Knights kill each other to gain his favor. Will they succeed?

Summary
“It’s a place called Lovers’ Grove. It’s a field of flowers that are said to have some… magical properties.”
“Magical properties?” Merlin asked curiously.
“They induce lust.” Gwaine was looking at Merlin with an excited glint in his eyes.
When Merlin had told Gwaine he wanted to try something new, this wasn’t exactly what he had in mind, but he found himself matching Gwaine’s excitement.Series

Summary
“I don’t feel like a man or a woman. I just feel like a person, neutral.”
“I’m not sure I understand,” Arthur said, tilting his head to the side.
Merlin wasn’t sure how to explain; most of the time, it didn’t fully make sense to himself, either. It was a feeling that was difficult to put into words for him. Each explanation he came up with felt incomplete, imperfect.

Summary
For the first time in years, he felt more like a servant than a friend, and after all they went through together, Merlin couldn’t deny that it hurt. Of course, Arthur would want to spend some time alone with Gwen, that was normal, but Merlin felt like Arthur didn’t need him around as a friend anymore. Like he had been replaced. They used to talk in the morning, after the King had finally got out of bed after much grumbling. Arthur would tell him about his worries, he would complain about insufferable Lords and ask Merlin’s advice for how to solve a dispute or how to change a policy. Of course, he always pretended that he wasn’t taking Merlin’s opinion into account, that a servant didn’t have the wit or the knowledge to adequately understand a complex situation. But Merlin knew that Arthur always listened to him and that he valued his input. But now, he dismissed Merlin as soon as the servant had brought up his breakfast, claiming that he and Gwen could dress alone. Merlin missed dressing Arthur, making sure his hair looked good and fastening his armour.

Arthur and Gwen's wedding marks the start of a series of events that will put a strain on Arthur, Gwen and Merlin's relationship. -

Summary
Falling in love is not an obligation, a chore you need to have filled after you've reached a certain age, a thing which absence indicates failure in life.
This is common sense. Common sense is not common knowledge.

Merlin thought he fell in love twice.
There's two things he's mistaken for romantic feelings, and those were, in order, platonic feelings and a depressive episode.It turns out most people's advice is built on a few sometimes incorrect assumptions, and there's more than one way to love someone.

Summary
"You... assisted me in my fight against the bandits. For that, you have my thanks. I'm an honorable man and I repay my debts. Leave now and I will not hunt you."
"Assisted? I'm pretty sure I saved your life."
"I had the situation perfec- Are you trying to make me reconsider letting you go?"
It was supposed to be a one time thing. Arthur let the sorcerer run off with his life in return for him saving Arthur's. He had never expected to see the boy again, especially not only two days later in Gaius's chambers.

Summary
Kilgarrah has been cryptic at best and infuriating at worst. Merlin's not sure what he expected, but surely the great lizard could've given him a heads up that he'd start growing SCALES.
That's not the least of it, and he can't exactly ask for a work leave to get his brand new claws in order. What's he gonna tell Arthur? And is it going to be even a little bit believable?Series
