Summary
Now in his sixth year at Hogwarts, grappling with the oncoming war and dealing with the maddening feeling in his gut, Merlin couldn't be blamed for not paying full attention to the nervous first years at the front of the Great Hall.
Especially not when the feeling suddenly seemed to take over his entire body with its intensity.
Merlin's clapped absently as a student was sorted into Hufflepuff, his house, when the next name made his head snap up.
“Arthur Pendragon”

Summary
Merlin slept for a week after bringing Arthur back from Camlann. Arthur worried Merlin had somehow imparted his own life force into him, draining himself, but Gaius assured him it was most likely just the level of magic Merlin had used that had exhausted him.
Accounts from the area certainly seemed to confirm that story. People had seen a god, or so they said. When Arthur lifted the magic ban, it passed almost without resistance. Whatever Merlin had done, whatever he’d been, people had seen the divine, and known it was magic itself.
When magic itself woke, he told Arthur never to do that to him again, and called him a variety of names for good measure.

Summary
Merlin sets off to Ealdor using the excuse of visiting her mother, hiding the true reason behind her trip to herself. However when Arthur and the knights tag along (totally because they have business in that area of the kingdom and NOT because they're worried about Merlin traveling by herself) things get complicated. Merlin doesn't wish to tell them about the real reason she's going to Ealdor, shame of falling to societies expectations of her keeping her mouth sealed tightly. However when the truth gets revealed how will Arthur react to potentially losing his Merlin to those very same expectations? Will he break through his own societal pressures to keep her? Or simply watch her go?

Merlin 'teaches' Arthur how to make a pain draught. Arthur just likes listening to Merlin talk.
Also Merlin is incredibly tired, it doesn't seem that obvious but he's relatively good at hiding it. -

Summary
Arthur's eyes caught onto a blue swatch of fabric, tied against a tree branch. He nudged Hengreon forward. It was Merlin's neckerchief. Stained with the earth, sweat, and... blood.
"Sire?" Agravaine called. His voice was distorted by the faint ringing in his ears.
"We're close." Arthur straightened, carefully folding the neckerchief, "This is Merlin's."
Agravaine was beside him, now, "This piece of cloth? Sire, we can hardly-"
He held up a hand, silencing his uncle, "It's his. I would know it anywhere."

Summary
The chamber ceiling recedes, opens before them. Arthur thinks he could go far as the starless night, be swallowed there, in the belly of a great and terrible serpent. He is no-one; he is nothing. He needs another half to complete him, and without it, he is worse than dead.
Arthur hears of the Écrevisse, a cave that shows both a man’s greatest fear and deepest desire. To prove himself, he goes alone. Without Merlin. Yet the cave brings Merlin to him, as Arthur’s fears and desires become one.

Summary
Unable to heal from Camelot’s greatest loss, Merlin is haunted by nightmares—or something more sinister—of Arthur. But, despite the undeniable resemblance, it’s impossible that the Arthur in his dreams is the same one he’d held in his arms as he died.
Searching through the Mist, Merlin leaves his old life behind in search of a new destiny, which brings him to Paris, 1643. In a land of feuds and a time of revolution, among old faces as well as new, Merlin searches for meaning side by side with Arthur again. But whether he can come to terms with their differences, or accept his feelings for this new Arthur, all the while protecting him, may be a greater challenge than he signed up for.
"That was Arthur, standing right in front of him. Yes, he wasn’t completely the same but that was him-no mistake. A scar visible on his cheek, and that beard covering his face couldn’t fool Merlin. He knew Arthur better than that. "
Merlin’s magic takes him on a journey through time to Musketeer Era France, where he meets Arthur, the Captain of the King’s Red Guard. Ruthless, bloodthirsty, and emotionally closed off, Merlin seems unable to deny anything this new Arthur asks of him.

Summary

Als Merlin die Stadt betritt, ahnt er nicht, dass sein Schicksal bereits an den Namen Pendragon gebunden ist. Arthur Pendragons Schutz wird schnell zu Besitz, seine Sorge zu gefährlicher Obsession. Während ein uralter Drachenfluch erwacht und Uther Pendragons Wahnsinn als Warnung dient, gerät Merlin ins Zentrum einer Liebe, die ebenso retten wie zerstören kann.
Denn ein Pendragon liebt nur einmal.
Und wenn diese Liebe verloren geht, bleibt nur Wahnsinn. -

Summary
Camelot is cursed.
When Merlin enters the city, he does not yet realize that his fate is already bound to the name Pendragon. Arthur Pendragon’s protection quickly turns to possession, his concern to a dangerous obsession. As an ancient dragon’s curse begins to stir — and Uther Pendragon’s madness stands as a warning — Merlin finds himself at the center of a love that can both save and destroy.
For a Pendragon loves only once.
And when that love is lost, all that remains is madness.

Summary
Merlin's eyes changed when he did magic. He knew that. In the privacy of his own head, Arthur had come to think of that golden gleam as beautiful since he'd discovered the secret of his sorcery. This was different. It crackled like lightning; a storm held in Merlin's gaze. It cast brief light upon his cheekbones, spilling odd shadows across his face.
'What's happening?'
'He is dying,' a woman's voice said, sugar-sweet. 'And he will take you with him, Arthur Pendragon.'
---
A routine hunt threatens to become a fatal disaster when Arthur and Merlin are captured and imprisoned in a dungeon used during the Purge. Can they fight their way to freedom, or will Merlin's power be the death of them?
