Summary
It’s been 1,525 years since King Arthur died, and Merlin only just learned to cope. (Only after claiming several self destructive tendencies.
Like, having an entire rooms worth of paintings and other various paarifinallia dedicated to a man you devoted your whole life to serving.)But he’s definitely better now.
And thats of course when “destiny” decides to come swinging.
(Swinging as in knocking him out, stealing his pocket change, and shoving him headfirst into a lake.)
So king arthur is awake now in our lord and savior 2024. Which means both of them have to figure out why Arthur came back in the first place, what that means for Albion, and especially what that means for them.

Summary
Merlin's magic has become increasingly unruly since Arthur found out about it.
It wants.
Merlin can feel it tingle under his skin whenever Arthur is close, craving his attention, and making it awfully difficult to concentrate...

Summary
“No,” he pleads. "Father, please. Merlin is not to blame for anything. I’ll accept any punishment you want to give me, but please..." he can't lose Merlin again. He can not.
Uther seems to sense his anguish, because a bit of bewilderment creeps into his harsh expression.
“What is it about this boy?” There's a dangerous suspicion in the king's voice. “He makes my son risk his life and the lives of his knights for him. And the Great Dragon, for some reason, keeps him alive and uses him as a hostage. Why?" he walks towards the prince almost threateningly. “What else are you hiding from me, Arthur?” he demands, his eyes growing colder.
OR
After Arthur rescues Merlin from The Great Dragon he has some explaining to do. To the king, and maybe to himself too. Sequel to "Saving the Dragonlord's son".

Summary
Slightly a canon rewrite? Most of it is written from Arthur’s POV with some exceptions.
Arthur is a basically sweetheart in this, he wants to be the protective scary boyfriend that everyone fears but that is actually Merlin. It is a slow burn but that is only one sided, Arthur is very quick to be intrigued but Merlin wants nothing to do with him for the most part which does change. In simple terms: Merlin is basically Arthur’s anchor of self restraint.
I don’t think we seen enough of powerful merlin and there were times that he deserved to go all out. He has a hero’s heart but a villains mind and I wanted to encapsulate that in this.
The slow burn is real but the protectiveness starts very early.

Summary
Merlin knew what a Sigil represented; a concept he had been introduced to shortly after arriving in Camelot. A marriage proposal of the deepest and most romantic kind, a callback to the traditions of old – for those who appreciated such things.
As such, Arthur’s message was clear.
Keep it safe for my future bride.
And, well, he could do that. No matter what it took.

Summary
He wrapped his arms around Merlin’s torso and rested his head on the man’s chest. For a moment, the two of them just stayed like that. Silent and yet still loud with each other. Small kisses found their way to the skin of his body, kisses that held enough words for the weary man to understand. Merlin dropped his head down onto Arthur’s and breathed in the smell of his golden hair, the smell that he knew well from the pillow he rested on.
Merlin and Arthur have a lot on their plates being the Kings of Camelot, so Arthur plans a nice picnic for them. With a beautiful lake to swim in, and a blanket so soft every critter wanted to rest on it, they had what they needed for a calm and peaceful night.

Summary
Immortality is seen as a gift bestowed upon demigods in ancient mythologies. But for Merlin, death is the greatest gift anyone can give him.
Arthur Pendragon leads a solitary life until, in a spark of rebellion, he leaves his home to study painting in Camelot College of Arts.
They meet, one with eternity of memories burdening his heart, and the other with occasional flashbacks. A journey through dancing in pubs, long nights spent in the library, piles of Shakespeare, bitter coffee, and walking through the woods, and at last, the "once" and the "future" clashes with one other. Destiny unravels.

Summary
Look, Arthur understands. He’s a King now, and that means there are more people after him and that he must be careful. He was being careful! He’d taken knights with him and everything, but that hadn’t stopped a lucky group of bandits from kidnapping him.
Damnit! His husband would NOT be happy with this.
“Merlin’s going to kill me after he gets me out of this.”
Or, Arthur is kidnapped and Merlin’s very understandable reaction to someone daring to take his husband.

Summary
I am terrible at blurbs. Arthur is a Priest, Merlin is not. Here is an except I have not been normal since thinking about this story so please enjoy.
--------------------excerpt---------------------
Father Arthur Pendragon walked down the decorated aisle of his church, grabbing at the holy texts left on the pews. Normally this would be the job of the altar boys, but alas, there weren't many of them anymore. Arthur could almost feel as the people of Somerset began drifting further and further from the word of God, apart from the forever loyal parishioners. Not that Arthur could blame them.
His thoughts are interrupted by a low voice with a thick Irish accent.
"It has been many years since I've stepped foot in a Church." The voice said, and as Arthur turned around, the books he held almost fell out of his grasp.
In front of him, stood the most beautiful man Arthur had ever laid eyes on.
His mouth was suddenly dry. -

Summary
Arthur Pendragon just left a bad relationship and is living by himself for the first time. He's struggling to deal with the aftermath of coming out to his unaccepting father, the strain in his relationships since leaving his ex, and the slightly deranged neighbor who claims to know him from thousands of years ago. Well, that last part is sort of a new addition, one that he doesn't really mind all that much. It's kind of entertaining.
(OR: Arthur returns but doesn't remember anything about Camelot or the Warlock who has been waiting hundreds of years for him. Merlin takes the appropriate amount of revenge for that.)

Summary
"You're glowing"
Merlin looked at Freya, the shock clear in his eyes yet he smiled as he looked at her.
"Thank you"
"No, i mean you're glowing. Literally."
With that, Merlin looked at himself. He was glowing, like a star that you see at a clear night.
**************************************************
"Can....a person who posses magic glow ?" Merlin asked to Gaius
"Why are you asking that, my boy ?"
"...Just answer it Gaius"
"Well...as i know some creatures of magic can glow, the glow of course means something different in each kind but if it is not a creature that always glows then...it can be from happines."
Merlin looked at Gaius as the disbelied clear in his eyes, with that old man start to explain.
"There is a legend that says when a person of magic if actually feels trully happy in their first time, they will be able to glow like the stars and the sun"
**************************************************
After her death, Merlin never glowed. Meeting Freya, trully feeling free and happy first and last time was for him. He was sure after this night

Summary
One day, a stranger, seeking shelter from the rain, stumbles into Merlin's little magic shop. The stranger turns out to be a right prat. And yet...
“Hello again, Mr Emrys.”
The ladder creaks dangerously as the man turns to look over his shoulder. “Congratulations, you've found out my name. Should I be flattered?”
“You're too cheeky for your own good,” Arthur says and nearly smiles. There's a brief pause, during which the guy – Emrys – continues to dust off the uppermost shelf, leaning to the side so far Arthur is expecting him to fall off any moment now. “Looked you up in the company database.”
“Okay, I'm definitely flattered now.”
“In the database of the company that owns this whole block of buildings.” Arthur steps closer, puts a foot against the ladder and grabs one of the staves to stabilize it. “The company which happens to be mine.”
“Ohh, what are you gonna do, evict me on grounds of being cheeky?”
