    Summary

    Merlin knew it was going to happen at one point or another, it has happened before and he knows he’s not subtle enough, he's not as careful as he should. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t feel like all the breath has left him and the blind panic of something worse than fearing for your life.

    So, it happened. Merlin just wished it was under a less bloody circumstance.

    “I was going to give you a hand,” Gwaine said, with the sword still on his hand. Merlin can’t breathe “but clearly you didn’t need it.”

    Summary

    If 2 World Wars weren't enough to bring Arthur back what could have possibly made him come back now???

    If you ask Morgana she'd try her best to rationalize something...or not

    If you ask Merlin, he'd rather scream

    Also why is Mordred here???

    Stories that I've written for the "One Word at a Time" (OWAAT) game in the Land of Myth Merlin Gen Discord Server.

    All stories are gen and most are unconnected. Mix of fluff, angst, and hurt comfort.

    Summary

    It all started with one question, a seemingly inconsequential question. Merlin finds himself wondering what Arthur meant, and why Arthur would ever ask such a thing. It's not until weeks later when Merlin lets down his guards, does he learn Arthur's motives. And not until weeks after that does Merlin's answer change for good.

    Summary

    I was inspired by a Tiktok edit of Arthur seeing Merlin injured during the episode 'The Kindness of Strangers' and so I decided to write him into the episode.

    Edit- and now apparently I'm rewriting the end of the final season!

    Summary

    Arthur had seen horrors before. Witnessed them, bore them, even committed them. But what had been done to Merlin...

    They didn't even know the full extent, because Merlin physically couldn't speak of it. Perhaps he couldn't even remember, if his mind had retreated far enough. But what they did know was awful enough.

    Arthur would never forget the sight of his dearest friend hanging limp, dragged from the depths of a pit by the cold iron chain around his waist, too near death from starvation, pain, and magic depletion to even notice the flogging pole he'd been headed toward.

    Summary

    Mainly fluff and crack, with a peppering of angst (and occasionally a shit ton of angst), but mostly light-hearted crack.

    A series of fics set (mostly) in a universe where Arthur has finally returned, 1500 years later, and so has Morgana, Gwen, and the Knights of the Round Table (excluding Mordred, for now), though they have been reincarnating throughout history multiple times. Merlin has been immortal this whole time (doesn't mean he hasn't died temporarily before, though) and Arthur was dead for ages, so he has a lot of catching up to do ...
    Morgana is also now good again, because it's hard to continue living with hatred through multiple lifetimes of self-reflection and contemplation.

    Summary

    Merlin, along with his freshly reincarnated friends and newly returned Arthur, sit down and catch up about the last 1500 years of lifetimes (because they're all in quarantine and hence are unable to fight the big bad evil Arthur returned to defeat).

    Somehow, along the way, it turns into a vent session. Turns out a lot of them have curiosities, pent-up-frustration, and unresolved bets building up over the centuries that they need to talk about.

    (Aimless chaos, really)
