Summary
Merlin can't always use magic to protect Arthur and Camelot, so throughout Merlin's decade spent by Arthur's side, the knights of Camelot teach Merlin a thing or two about holding his own.
Or, 5 times a background knight teaches Merlin a different fighting skill, and the 1 time Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table find out (in the coolest way possible, of course).

Summary
Set after the Merlin Series 5 Finale "Diamond of the Day".
Canon Compliant. In Character. Arthur Pendragon Returns.
Cover art by Lao-Pendragon------
For many long years Merlin waited.
For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.
Until one day, suddenly, it did.
When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.
Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, & True Love.

Summary
Merlin disappears in the middle of the night, leaving behind nothing but a scream heard by a nearby servant, a smear of blood, and a castle full of unanswered questions.
Arthur is convinced it’s just Merlin being Merlin, until the hours stretch on, the clues grow stranger, and the fear in Camelot becomes impossible to ignore.
Arthur goes off on a journey to find the missing Merlin, to bring him home, back to Camelot.
But that’s harder than Arthur could have ever imagined.

Summary
It’s been three months since Arthur’s death.
The kingdom tries to move on, but Merlin… he’s still stuck on the day he held Arthur in his arms, unable to accept that he’s lost him forever.
His pain comes to an end when one day, unexpectedly, Arthur comes back from the waters of Avalon.
Trying to solve the mystery of this sudden return, Arthur and Merlin keep protecting the kingdom from the dangers that still threaten it, like the Saxons, whose new leader is ready to conquer the throne on Morgana’s name. It seems like nothing has changed, but everything has: the secret that Merlin was so afraid to reveal to Arthur ends up bringing them even closer to each other. In a Camelot where magic is no longer banned, in a new world where he can be by Arthur’s side without hiding who he is, Merlin finds himself living a dream with the fear of waking up, happy for Arthur’s return but also terrified by the idea of losing him again.
Now that secrets between them are over, Arthur finds out Merlin has done so much more than hide his magic: to protect him he's suffered, sacrificed everything, made difficult choices. He begins to know a side of Merlin that’s new to him, and yet, that somehow he’s always known… and loved. -

Summary
“Do that again,” Arthur sounded as if he were a million miles away, a half-smile light on his lips, his eyelids fluttering. “Whatever that was, do that again.”
Merlin stared, just for a second; Arthur cracked an eye open and the hue was golden, golden light, the same light that entrenched both of their bodies.
“Arthur,” Merlin whispered, strangled, forcing himself away from the part of them that said to keep going. “Open your eyes."

An expansion on my answer to @merthurmicrofic's Prompt: Door, on Tumblr.
Merlin grapples with captivity after an alteration with Bandits goes poorly. Surrounded by cold iron and beaten profusely, Merlin starts wishing for death.
Likely to be added to, honestly, and that's more likely if I post my first part here. :)

Summary
All around the world, hundreds of glowing crystal orbs started to hum and float off of dust covered shelves that they had been resting on since the creation of the builds that housed them. They all followed invisible lines to their destinations. Passersby all staring in confusion but quickly forgetting what they had been looking at. Doors seemed to melt beneath them, floors and walls allowing them through without the slightest friction. And even the strongest wards bending to their will. They hummed on, all singing a melody of rebirth and happiness, stopping all at once when they finally reached their intended destination. Giving off only warmth and the whispers of great things to come.
All around the world, people of highest importance reached out to cradle their orbs, amazed that out of the hundreds of people to hold their positions they were to be alive when the prophecy came true.
Magic's Heir was finally returning.

Summary
Based on another tumblr post:
Arthur wakes up in a Camelot where Merlin has never come to Camelot.
At first, Arthur is so distracted by Merlin's absence, that he doesn't realize how everyone is staring at him strangely.
Arthur: Is something the matter?
Knight: Are you - Excuse me, Sire - You are so calm today. Is everything alright?
Arthur: Calm? How on earth am I calm? Merlin is gone!"
Knight: Yes but ... Aside from this mysterious Merlin... You haven't chosen a servant today.
Arthur: If they aren't Merlin, then it doesn't matter.
Knight: *Wide eyes* You beat up this Merlin person?
Arthur: If I WHAT?!

Summary
The dragon leaned forward. "Your destiny is to protect Uther Pendragon's heir, the one who will be the Once and Future King and unite all of Albion."
Merlin blinked. "But . . . Uther doesn't have an heir."
. . .
In many Arthurian texts, Arthur is raised as a peasant by Sir Ector with no knowledge of his royal lineage. Let's bring that back, shall we?
