Summary
While Merlin knew Camelot was one of the worst kingdoms to be a magic user, he couldn’t refuse his mother. But Merlin was a clumsy idiot.
So, after a horrible day where he fought the prince, met a dragon and finally was caught using magic to save the life of his uncle, Merlin found himself in the pyre. On his first day.
But another thing about Camelot was also true.
This other tradition was almost a joke. The foot-of-the-gallows marriage.
When presented, it was carried out until the end, treated as something serious. The man being executed would be saved by marrying the woman who asked for his hand even before he could descend from the gallows. His crimes would be pardoned as long as he continued to be married to her, and they would have the opportunity to begin a new life in a blank slate.
But it has never occurred when the crime was considered serious, so no one had to put the tradition in a balance against the law.
So, when the executioner lit the torch and the prince shouted, “Stop the execution! I’ll marry him.” no one knew what to do.

Summary
“The Gods have deemed you worthy of returning to the land of the living, Sir Lancelot.” He was sure he could hear bitterness in her words.
“Why?”
“Emrys needs you. He is their vessel, and he is drowning under his burden. He will fail without counsel. The Gods have decreed it shall be you who saves him.”---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lancelot is sent back to Camelot to share Merlin's burden. Arthur thinks they're together romantically and gets jealous. A magic reveal turns their worlds upside down, and Lancelot is left to pick up the pieces. With Gwaine's help of course.
Canon divergence after the Lamia (4x08) but before Lancelot du Lac (4x09)
OR: the Lancelot return and Mercelot friendship we all deserved.
UPDATE: This used to be called Lancelot's Return, but I've renamed it. If you were looking for that fic, here it is.
