    Summary

    Detective Arthur Pendragon doesn’t believe in ghosts – until one starts following him home. A routine investigation at a druid burial site leaves him accidentally engaged to Merlin, a very annoyed, very dead activist with unfinished business. Now, Arthur has two choices: ignore the bond and ensuing bad luck, or get very comfortable being haunted by his sarcastic, spectral fiancé.

    (Murder investigations. Unwanted soul bonds. Questionable supernatural bureaucracy. Arthur’s having a terrible few weeks and Merlin is loving it.)

    Summary

    When Arthur buys a new flat, it should mean that everything in his life is slotting into place. Instead, he can’t stop going on bad dates, his sister won’t get off his back about mental health, and the cupboard doors keep mysteriously falling open.

    When the ghost who haunts the flat reveals himself, Arthur decides to help him finish whatever unresolved business he has that’s keeping him from properly passing on. Once Arthur gets rid of this ghostly Merlin figure, he can go back to getting his own life in order.

    Of course Merlin has a poor memory, and as Arthur tries to dig into Merlin’s life, he gets used to having a ghost around his home.

    Summary

    Arthur Pendragon has walked the straight path all his life. He graduated school with honours, dated the prettiest girls, and is up for commendation at his precinct. Then he picks up a black envelope on the pavement during a case and suddenly his fortune turns on his head. He narrowly escapes death and is demoted instead of promoted all in one day. There's only one way to end his bad luck—and that’s to marry a ghost! Arthur wouldn’t have minded half as much if his fiance wasn’t so snarky and a man named Merlin.

    Summary

    Arthur felt the exact second that Merlin was gone. He felt it the way he would feel the absence of air, of gravity, of time. Indeed, Arthur seemed to be missing all of those things; no air reached Arthur’s lungs, and he felt weightless, like he had lost an anchor. He stared at the body of one of the greatest men he had ever known and it felt like an eternity. Merlin didn’t move, he didn't even twitch. Because Merlin was gone, he knew. He was gone. He was gone, but Arthur couldn't believe it.
    .
    .
    .

    Merlin was alone when he awoke.

    Alone, and substantially lacking a body.

    Summary

    Merlin has magic and the power to do whatever it takes to ensure Arthur’s safety in that dreadful battle, but how far would he go in-order for it to work. Who would he sacrifice?

    In those dark days after the battle, those that are left, must come to terms with the loss of their friends. As the days go by, some begin to doubt what they actually witnessed, is not what actually happened.

    Summary

    “What do you want from me?” Arthur demanded. “Have you come here for revenge?”
    “No, but that would have been a good second option,” the ghost said. “I’ll keep it in mind. In actuality, I’ve come to haunt you.”
    Arthur couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “Haunt me? Isn’t that the same?”
    “No, not really.”
    “Yes, it is.”
    “No, it isn’t.”
    “I don’t have to stay awake to listen to this.”

    Summary

    "Merlin" he replied and Arthur felt a lump in his throat thinking that he must have spoken to him the first time he saw him in the cafeteria, his friends would not have stopped bothering because they would be Merlin and Arthur. Just like the mythical king and the legendary warlock.

    But the would not exist and sometimes it is so easy to forget how fragile human life is, that we leave things on a to-do list.

    Summary

    -
    The Pendragons were moving. Again. They’d moved so many times over the years, it didn’t bother them anymore. But when Arthur and Morgana stepped out of the preppy town car, they were not greeted with the usual luxury condo in the city, but an old brick manor covered in vine and surrounded by forest.

    Arthur soon learns the house is not as empty as he thought and he realizes that he is not so eager to leave this time.

    Summary

    There was a soft ticking from the hall clock that Arthur often found himself focusing on. Matching his breathing to the steady tick tick ticks. It was calming and grounding in a way he often wasn’t anymore. It’s an obnoxiously ornate thing with little blue butterflies all over the face of it. It had been the first thing hung in their apartment. And he knew it’d be the last thing they’d remove.

    Summary

    If asked, the people of Albion would tell you in desolate murmurs that the mad King was born the night he set his own Magic on fire.
    If asked, Emrys would tell you it was the moment Merlin told him there was no place for magic in Camelot.

    Summary

    Mordred, as well as many others from Camelot, had been given a second chance at life via reincarnation.
    However, some histories it seemed, were doomed to repeat themselves. This time, however, the damage is much more permanent.

    Or, when Mordred is late for work, he accidentally plows over Merlin and Arthur who had been in the middle of the street walking, which resulted in death for them and promises of being haunted for life for him.

    Summary

    Arthur Pendragon is a regular bloke, with a regular life. He has a 9 to 5 job, a nice flat, friends and a nettlesome sister. It's all normal, except for the fact he's quite possibly, irrationally, foolishly in love with his flatmate— a ghost.

    Summary

    Arthur thought his late mother’s home town Albion was just a dot on the map but when he actually went to the little town to see the Du Bois manor she left him in her will for his twenty-fifth birthday, he never expected himself to become roommates with an annoying and sassy ghost named Merlin who thought it was his life mission to set Arthur on a diet plan. In spite, Arthur called the paranormal investigators Gwaine and Alator to get rid of this little pest. But then, things got even weirder when after warming up to Merlin (alright, they went on a date and yes, Merlin was a ghost back then), he comes back to life in the form of a child (fortunately, only temporary) and switching sides to hunt ghosts with Gwaine, charming the bakers Sefa and Annis along the way with his cute looks.
