Summary
“Arthur!” Merlin turned to him with a sunshine-y grin that dimpled his cheeks, “can I help you with something?” Arthur realized he should speak now.
“Oh, um, yes. I’m supposed to give you my buy in money and then you’ll give it to your uncle, right?”
“You convinced your father, then?” Merlin asked, his smile returning.
Arthur chuckled and scratched the back of his now slightly warm neck, “Uh, no actually. He doesn’t know I’m doing this.”
Merlin’s eyes flickered down for a second then met his again, “Well, I think that’s great! Um, I’m glad you’re joining us.”

Summary
“You must have it the worst,” Daegal added, eyeing him with newfound sympathy. “You’re with him all the time.”
Merlin made a small, noncommittal sound.
“I mean, the hours alone,” Daegal continued. “And the pressure. And the—everything. You’re basically on call 24/7, right?”
“Something like that,” Merlin’s shoulders shook slightly.

Summary
“One of my girls mentioned she saw a new face at the market today. A pretty boy looking for employment. I have a proposition for you, if you want to accompany me inside,” the woman said.
Her voice was warm and her smile almost motherly. It made Merlin ache for the comfort of his home. He looked at her uncertainly. Merlin may have had a sheltered upbringing in his small farming village, but he could imagine what kind of work she had to offer him, and he wasn’t sure he wanted it. Still, he stood up, shaking slightly from hunger and exhaustion. There was something in this woman’s eyes that compelled Merlin to trust her.

Summary
"Do you love him? "
Ygraine responds, gently but firmly. It is more a statement than a question. Arthur, her youngest child and heir to the throne, had just asked her for permission to formally court Merlin, the son of Balinor, Chief Dragonlord of Albion and Hunith, her lady-in-waiting.
Arthur reacts as if he just got caught sticking his hand in the cookie jar for his favorite cookie, because in a way, he has. Blushing instantly and eyes looking everywhere but his mother's face, light puffs of air coming from his mouth. Ygraine has her answer, but she will remain silent. She will not have her son believing expressions of love or other emotions are a sign of weakness, especially for men. She's going to make her son work for the approval that is already there.
Or:
Queen Ygraine lives! How things could have been if Ygraine didn't die in childbirth, Uther didn't get to exercise his awesome parenting skills, and magic flourished in Camelot.

Summary
Merlin follows Arthur on his quest to the Perilous lands, returning not just with his friend alive and well but also a new kingdom. Magic has lost so much from the purge and the years after and the first rule of magic is that there must be balance, so it gives back. Creating the Kingdom of Oplaria, ruled by King Emrys.
But Merlin is not so keen to abandon his destiny and Arthur, he spends his time between the two Kingdoms constantly torn between his friendship with Arthur and his duty to his people and magic. He is good at secret identities after all.
But with Arthur constantly sidelining Merlin how long can he make excuses to stay?
And how much will this change not only the Prophecy but also the future of Albion?This is follows the show from Season 3 episode 8 -> Season 4 episode 13 but will include storylines from other episodes.
If like me you loved all the side characters well then get ready to get a lot more time with them (especially if you love Mithian, Elena and Vivian).

Summary
“Merlin was too driven by grief for his other half that he turned back time, but magic like this always has a price. For Merlin to turn back time he had to give up his memories of that time.”
Or, merlin resets time to the day he enters Camelot and meets Arthur and looses his memories, but everyone and I mean EVERYONE remembers the past timeline
Or, the time travel fix it trope but merlin is the only one who doesn’t know about the past lifetime.
(Ignore that Chapter 4 is actually Chapter 3, i’ll fix it when I get the chance.)

Summary
Merlin adores being a doctor, more than he ever thought would be possible. He does. It’s fulfilling. It’s amazing.
The problem he never saw coming is that people at the club get reckless when he’s on duty. For some reason, knowing that there’s a bona fide medical doctor stalking the halls means that people think that this is their best chance to go nuts. Merlin likes that they feel safe enough under his watch to test their boundaries, but there’s also a part of him that hates it. He’s here to get away from work, not to have more of it, goddamnit.

He peers up at Lance standing over him, his own dungeon monitor badge pinned to his satiny shirt.
“Hey, Merlin,” Lance says, with an easy smile that just barely hides the tension underneath. “Could I talk to you about something for a minute?”
