Summary
Arthur may not know how he got here or what’s going on, but he does know he sure as hell isn’t leaving this tiny, terrified, five-year-old behind.
Or: Arthur and Merlin get caught in a de-aging incident. Merlin is predictably not ecstatic to wake up near Camelot knights, and Arthur has never been weaker in his life than he is for Merlin’s baby bambi eyes.

Summary
He had lit up again, breathless, the pale line of his neck dripping water down past where Arthur could follow. Merlin practically glowed when he smiled, he always had, and Arthur wished for nothing more than to be stuck in this moment forever even as the rain splashed around them, the howling wind filling his ears.
“Don’t you trust me?”
With my life, he thinks.
“I’m in love with you,” he says instead.

He was always there—quiet, steady, the one who never walked away.
Until the day he did.
When fear meets truth and power is mistaken for betrayal, everything breaks. What follows isn’t war, but silence. A vanished friend.
And Arthur is left with nothing but silence… and the ache of what he’s lost.
But some scars burn with more than pain—
and even now, love remembers how to breathe.A slow-burn hurt/comfort story of betrayal, grief, and the long road to healing—where even the deepest wounds can lead back to love.

Summary
“You-” Ygraine said, stepping up to point a finger in Uther’s face. “You are a liar and a murderer. The fact you think someone as sweet and caring as Vivienne is destined to marry you is a tragedy in itself, but if you expect me to hand over my brother’s rightful claim to Camelot’s throne-”
“My claim to Camelot’s throne,” Uther threw back, face growing more red as Arthur looked between his parents in utter bewilderment. Merlin didn’t blame him. He had envisioned Uther and Ygraine’s love story to be more… well, less based in war and battles.
Ygraine’s eyes narrowed as she grabbed a goblet of wine and threw it in Uther’s face. A few of the guards shifted, but Uther only raised a hand to pause them, spitting out the wine with furious eyes.
“You,” Ygraine said coldly. “Are unworthy to sit upon a stool, let alone a throne.”
From a few feet away, Balinor scoffed as he sipped from his own goblet. “I kind of like having her as a hostage, Uther. She livens up the place.”
Or
In a desperate attempt to save Arthur at Camlann, Merlin tries to reverse time. It works perhaps a tad too well.

Summary
He holds his sword out at arm’s length. With a shaky hand, he presses it underneath the sorcerer’s chin, pushing until he feels soft skin give way, watching until a drop of fresh blood gathers and glides along his blade. He forces Merlin’s head up.
And then in one agonizing instant, he knows: looking into his eyes was a mistake.

Summary
As soon as Merlin’s sentence is announced, Lancelot is at his side, ignoring the heavy iron chains as he clasps Merlin’s hands between his own. He speaks, too quiet for Gwaine to hear, and when Merlin shakes his head Lancelot draws him into a hug, Merlin’s bound wrists pressed between their chests.
He's saying goodbye, Gwaine can see that clear as day, and from the way Merlin looks at him over Lancelot’s shoulder it's clear he expects Gwaine to be next in line.
Fuck that.
Let Lancelot handle the teary farewells. Gwaine isn't saying goodbye, because Merlin isn't going anywhere.Or: Arthur decides to banish Merlin for his magic. Gwaine decides he isn't about to let that happen.

Summary
Merlin saved Camelot with his magic—but the display was terrifying enough to turn even his closest friends away. Now, the people who once cared for him look at him with nothing but fear. He’s been replaced in Arthur’s and the queen’s chambers, scorned in the streets, and pushed out from every last one of his roles.
He drifts through the castle like a ghost, watching Arthur slowly restore magic to the kingdom—without him.
He tells himself it’s enough. That it has to be enough.
Then a visiting kingdom arrives—openly magical, warm, and welcoming. For the first time in what feels like an eternity, Merlin is seen, valued, liked.
He stayed for the promise of Albion. But maybe Albion has come—and Merlin simply isn’t part of it.
