Summary
Merlin visits Lake Avalon every year on the anniversary of Arthur's death. Every year, he makes the same wish - that he would once again be reunited with Arthur.
Merlin lies down in the grassy outcrop that replaced the dried up lake and dreams of Arthur. He still thinks he's dreaming when Lake Avalon fills back up with thrashing, frigid water and threatens to take him away from the land of the living.
When Merlin is drowning, he dreams of Arthur's face. He dreams that he feels Arthur's strong arms holding him once again, pulling him from the grasp of the lake and onto the safety of the shoreline.
Merlin still thinks he's dreaming when Arthur speaks to him and reassures him that he's here to stay. It's almost too real for Merlin to handle.
But, what if it wasn't a dream, after all?

Summary
Merlin erased his memory from his life. Forgetting everything about Camelot, forgetting that he is the great sorcerer. He was done and now he was free to live his life.
So it was only fate’s design that as soon as Merlin casted the spell that Arthur returned, trying to find Merlin. The only issue is: Merlin can’t remember him.

Summary
“i use it for you arthur, only for you–“
merlin clutched arthur’s hand to his chest as he sobbed, his pale cheeks growing cold as pure wind blew across his face and chilled his tears. the sentence itself nearly brought arthur to hysterics, lying there with a wound to his abdomen that burnt like salty tears in a cut. his blond hair being pressed into the ground while merlin held him close, panting as he spoke.
a slight scoff left arthur, full of love, “merlin you are not a sorcerer.” he knew merlin like the blade of his sword, slicing everything he did in half - the other side of his coin. he squeezed slightly at merlin’s chest, “i would know.”

i rewrote the ending to merlin. the right way, my way.

Summary

Summary
The first thing Arthur remembers is water.
And Merlin.
He wakes in a familiar Camelot that feels just slightly... wrong. The sun is too still. The smiles too perfect. And Merlin - always there, always watching.
He doesn't tell him the truth, though...

Summary
While hunting for a Griffin terrorizing Camelot, Arthur stumbles upon a beautiful boy injured by the beast in the forest and decides to save him. It is only later that Arthur learns that he is not, as Arthur had believed, a regular boy or a prince, but a rare male dryad named Merlin. As Fate would have it, their paths cross many more times. With each encounter, Arthur's curiosity deepens into something far too warm and tender to acknowledge. Perhaps it is the thrill of meeting a creature of myths with powerful magic, or perhaps it is Merlin's captivating sea blue eyes, but Arthur cannot stay away for long.

Summary
By some magical accident, an older Merlin steps into Camelot, 10 years ago. Only now, he's buff and good with a sword, looks good in armour, is a fucking assassin, and claims to be Arthur's husband.
Or
"The crest on it means you're a member of the royal family." said Leon, red-faced and about to burst a vein or two, making them all jump.
"Something like that." Merlin grinned.
"What?" Arthur choked out.
"Oh we're married. Did I forget to mention?" Merlin asked with an innocent tilt of his head
Or
"Relax, darling. I've been begging His Royal Prat-ness for a vacation for ages. I'm starting to think you actually want to see me on my hands and knees."
Arthur dropped his sword with a clang, felt the need to lie down for a while. Merlin laughed and took a hold of his bicep. "Come." He said. "I'm dying to see everyone."
And Arthur let himself be man-handled and dragged along like a boy toy. Because this was his life now.

Summary

So he cast a silence spell on himself. “What? Cat got your tongue?” Arthur got closer and Merlin’s heartbeat picked up as the prince had him cornered, pressed up against the wall. Merlin just wanted to run and hide.

Summary
Title is inspired by something Gaius said in episode13 of season 1, Le Morte D'Arthur
-witerwallyanerdMerlin had been living a lie since he knew what one was. Ealdor lied in the border of Cenred’s kingdom and Camelot, and was much more tolerant of magic than Camelot was.
Even so, you could only show so much ability before people got suspicious.
So in Ealdor, it had always been playing down his abilities. He never imagined he was going to be hiding them completely. Merlin lived by Gaius’ rules, most of the time. Half the time. Whenever they didn’t get in his way, if he was being honest.
However, recently, his magic had been itchy, for lack of better words. He felt it under his skin, in his veins, his hair. Heard it in every breath he breathed, every word that came from his mouth. -
