Summary
No matter how many times he is reborn, it seems his fate is always that he's to be some sort of a Rather Important Person. Well, aside from that one lifetime, but apparently that involved some sort of birth-switching drama that should be reserved for the telly. Like, seriously. So when his memories were inevitably returned to him, so did the feeling that he really ought to be doing something Rather Important - other than what he already was.
With the mix of memories in his head, it's truly a wonder he hasn't gone off the rails yet.
Arthur sighs.
Well, there's always the next life.
--
Arthur and reincarnation.

When Merlin finally comes face to face with him, the Prince and he do not exactly hit it off. But in spite of Prince Arthur’s initial hostility, Merlin finds himself determined to help him – with medicine as much as with magic.

Summary
"Perhaps not the textbook definition of a healthy relationship, especially considering what they’ve just been through. But it’s right. It’s fucked up and glorious. It’s them." ~Promises Whispered Like Prayers
Eames and Arthur aren't what you would call typical, and neither is their love story. Before they can enjoy their happily ever after, they must weather years of blood, pain, tears -- at times their own, but mostly that of others. Here's how it all happens. Series will hop and skip around, from the time they first meet to life after inception, including all kinds of moments between and beyond. Canon-compliant, in case that matters to you.
There are
25262731! stories total planned for this series. (holy shitnuggets, I addedanother onemore, someone stop me)Look for the Psycho Heroes Soundtrack on Spotify!

So, so long...Likely the very long saga will never be completed, but such lovely characterization, compelling origin stories, and excellent OCs are worth it.

Summary
Arthur’s backstory. Before he became the Point Man of legend, he was the CIA’s greatest investment.
“The sight of blood doesn’t alarm him anymore. After months—or years, depending on how you count it—of specialized training, Arthur no longer flinches at seeing blood, guts, and other internal pieces becoming—suddenly, violently—external.”

Summary
Arthur was used to being trotted out by Uther as Camelot’s shiny, young ambassador. Though he didn’t care much for Cenred, he certainly wasn’t afraid of him. No, it wasn’t Essetir that bred knots in his stomach.
For reasons that Arthur did not yet understand, it was the humble village of Ealdor that loomed specterlike over the journey ahead.
When a diplomatic visit to Cenred's kingdom takes Arthur and Merlin through Ealdor, Arthur must confront a secret he has kept from himself since Merlin arrived in Camelot.

Summary
Guilt wears many faces.
There is the kind you inherit — before you ever speak a word.
The kind you forge yourself — in blood and haste.
The kind born of silence — when you should have acted and didn’t.
And the kind that lingers longest — when love is offered too late.
Most people carry one.
Some carry all of them.
Guilt does not fade with time.
It simply waits — quietly — to see whether you will carry it like a burden, or let it carve you into someone worth becoming.

Summary
Merlin, who was in every way possible, Arthur’s complete opposite.
Where Arthur was sharp, Merlin was soft. Where Arthur was rude, Merlin was kind. Arthur’s blonde hair shone like the sun in the day, while Merlin’s raven hair reflected the moonlight like stars. Arthur’s deep plain blue eyes that met Merlin’s pale ones, with small golden flecks inside. Where Arthur was afraid to touch, Merlin was tactile. When Arthur bit back his words, Merlin rambled them.
~~~
Arthur is sharp, with rough edges and solid stone. Merlin is gentle, with round edges and a soft centre.
Merlin rounds Arthur's edges, and Arthur loves Merlin.
But his confession comes too late.
