Summary
Merlin was part way through his degree in medicine when war broke out in 1914. Not meeting the criteria to join up he became a doctor for the soldiers with injuries severe enough to be sent home with little hope—the stately home he inherited from his late uncle Gaius serving as a hospital. It’s here he meets a grievously wounded Arthur Pendragon whose scars are not all physical. As Arthur heals bit by bit in both mind and body, learning to walk on his prosthetic leg and all the frustration that comes with it, Merlin sees the good, the bad, and the downright ugly sides of him. Despite this—or perhaps because of it—they grow closer.

Summary
In a universe with a singular beginning and multiple endings, there are, too, multiple Merlins. But, there is only one Arthur Pendragon. And he dies in every ending, leaving immortal Merlin broken every time.
To save his best friend from witnessing one tragedy after another, Arthur takes matters into his own hands—and denounces the destiny between them for good.
Or:
Merlin grows up in a world where Arthur is never born and tries to cope with a never-ending longing.

Summary
“This is the most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to me by far, and if anyone finds out about it, they will find that their life expectancy is dropping remarkably quickly,” Merlin says under his breath, flexing and unflexing his shiny new claws. It’s not that the claws are embarrassing, nor that the wings or the horns are even an issue, easily hidden by an illusion spell as they are, but rather this small, simple fact:
Merlin is 20 years old and going through fucking puberty, this time of the dragonlord variety.

Summary
In the heat of battle against Morgana and her army, Merlin discovers hereto unknown Dragonlord powers. With the army defeated Merlin flees Camelot, knowing he won't be able to return home until he figures out his to reverse his transformation into a dragon.
Gwaine last saw Merlin where the dragon appeared, he's devastated to realise Merlin is missing once the battle is over. Presumed kidnapped (and feared dead), Gwaine is only too eager to accept Arthur's orders to track down and slay the dragon, and bring Merlin home.
Realising Merlin and the dragon are one and the same, Gwaine has to unlearn his prejudices before he can accept Merlin for all he is.
