Summary
When Arthur closes his eyes and whispers his last goodbye, he is a king and husband. A warrior and diplomat. He is the last true great king of Albion and the one that brought war upon his lands.
When he opens his eyes, he is still all of those things.
But he doesn’t understand.
For one, he is back in his chambers. There is no Guinevere, and the servant that comes through the door is decidedly not Merlin. Arthur asks the lad if he’s dead. The lad fetches Gaius.

Summary
Everyone insisted that Arthur needed time to process, to accept that Merlin was gone. The only problem was that Merlin wasn’t.
Arthur didn’t know how to explain it without sounding like Uther when he’d seen Ygraine in the well, like he was losing his mind and looking for ghosts. He didn’t know how to look at his court and make them understand that Merlin had once told him about nature, about the sacred connectedness of the earth, and asked Arthur if he felt it. He didn’t know how to say that he hadn’t felt it back then, but that he did now. He felt it all. He felt Merlin in it.

Summary
This is a series based on BBC Merlin.
It's about Merlin's magic and his relationship with Arthur. In as many different ways as I can imagine.
The knights and servants and other characters will also have many appearances. But the main focus will be on Merlin and Arthur.There is no need to read the stories in any order or all of them at all. Each story is it's own idea. They can be read separately.

Summary
An exploration of Arthur's relationship to touch.
Excerpt:
Touch.
Arthur wasn't a stranger to touch, not at all. Arthur had always been surrounded by people who would touch him all the time: Servant's who'd help dress and undress him, servant's who'd bath him, knight's who'd clap him on the shoulder, or his father who'd grant him a single touch with a gloved hand to acknowledge Arthur's accomplishments. Noble women who'd visit and reach out their hands for Arthur to take and kiss to pay his respects.
Arthur was not a stranger to touch, but he knew that it would always remain a privilege.Series

Summary
In this AU, Arthur found out Merlin was immortal two years before his death. He spoke to the Fates, and they revealed certain truths to him. So now, in the time he has left, Arthur spends his days writing—1,500 letters to be exact. One letter for each year of Merlin’s life, asking him to do one thing that year until Arthur returns in the future.
But I’m using this idea to practice my writing. I hope you enjoy it.
(I post a letter every day. )

Letters to Merlin. Exactly as it is. It is Arthur pendragron, the clotpole, writing a letter for every year merlin will be alone. Till Arthur returns to the future. A total of 1500 letters.
😭 I just realized, if it's a letter every day, then in reality, according to my calculations, it should be 4.1 years. And there are 32 letters currently from when Author first posted this, so then that means there are now 1468 letters left, and in this year 136 days left. So if i exclude the letters that will be completed this year, it's now 1332 letters left, and divide that by 365, it's 3.6 years approximately, and all of a sudden I'm like, major respect to the author cause that's dedication and I hope they continue because this is so sweet.
I'm imagining merlin's Pov to this, and just, awwwww

Summary
“What kind of ridiculous test is that? What does that prove?” Arthur spat.
He injected as much venom as he could into his words, desperate to convince himself that this was all just a silly little game. The fact that it was Merlin, of all people, who was here sitting across him certainly didn’t mean anything.
