Summary
Merlin hadn’t done anything dumb or self-sacrificial like Arthur had feared—that was the silver lining. But that left him with one conclusion. Arthur had died by Mordred’s blade. He was no mortal, not any longer. He was a ghost.
or—it's been a few months since Camlann, and Arthur reappears as a ghost, cursed to be unseen and unheard by his loved ones left behind. It's too bad no one in Camelot is powerful enough to see and interact with ghosts . . . right?

Summary
Arthur found he should have been angry at the blatant sorcery being performed in front of him, at all the lies Merlin must have told him over the years, maybe even scared of what he was capable of, but he was more entranced by the words pouring from the brunette's beautiful lips. The words he never thought to hear from the man ever, save his dreams. "I love you, Arthur. Please don’t leave me.”
A fanfic where Arthur falls in battle and becomes a ghost tethered to Merlin.

Summary
When he tells people that he is a ghost hunter, people tend to be far more impressed than they ought to be, really.
Usually, really, the ghosts aren’t malicious. They are just drifting; they are scared, alone, in turn waiting for what comes next and trying to hold onto their long-lost life. They need someone to be brave for, and Merlin is content to be that person.
Not this ghost, though. This ghost screams bloody murder at Merlin’s attempt to help him move on to the afterlife.
“I have been here for a thousand years,” the ghost tells him. He pouts, and it makes his otherwise proud face look a bit ridiculous. “I don’t see why I should leave. I think you should leave.”
Or: Merlin is a ghost hunter. Arthur is a ghost. There really shouldn't be anything more to it, but Arthur's inability to move on makes Merlin's job a tad harder than it ought to be. Oh, and then there's the part where he's falling in love with a thousand-year-old ghost who keeps insulting him.

Summary
"You don’t belong here.” He holds out his hand, waiting for Arthur to take it and step out of the boat. Arthur ignores it. Uther drops his hand awkwardly and then attempts to reassure his son. “This place is a punishment. You are not deserving of it.”
At this Arthur’s features turn harsh. “I’m your son - of course, I’ll deserve it.”
Helpless in the face of Arthur’s anger, he turns away but makes one last gesture towards Arthur. A sign to follow him. He thinks about Arthur’s words; prays that Arthur’s fate isn’t predetermined - doomed due to bloodline and the sins of a father.
--
After Uther dies, he finds that he can move between the veil and Camelot. This ability stops when Arthur dies.

Summary
Arthur wants his life back. Merlin's just trying to do his job.
Merlin works as a camerman for Ghost Getters, a show in which paranormal investigators Gwaine and Elyan poke around allegedly-haunted locations. As a warlock who lives in fear of his friends finding out about his powers, Merlin is not interested in proving to the world that the supernatural is real. He took this job for the paycheck, and he stayed for the show's cute but unavailable paranormal investigator. Three years into filming the show, Merlin is shocked to find an actual, real life ghost on one of their visits. Arthur Pendragon is the most stubborn, obnoxious ghost Merlin has ever met, and he's determined to convince Merlin to bring him back to life. Unfortunately, necromancy is no easy task. Along the way, feelings get muddled and things get... complicated. More complicated than bringing a prat back from the brink of death.
The title is inspired by Khalid's song of the same name.

Summary
When running a private detective agency, you expect a little bit of excitement and drama. But you certainly don’t expect death. After Arthur is killed in a strange accident one night, Merlin can’t help but think that there's more to it than meets the eye. Now he's stuck with a ghost for a partner, and time is running out for Arthur to resolve his unfinished business before he ends up trapped here for good. It's up to Merlin to help him figure things out so that he can cross over, but that's easier said than done when there's a murderer on your tail.
One thing's for sure: as best friends for life, Merlin and Arthur won’t let a little thing like death come between them.
