Summary
Arthur has always taken Merlin on every mission — unarmoured, untrained, endlessly reckless.
It never used to matter.
But lately, every danger feels sharper. Every close call lasts too long.
And Merlin is starting to notice the way Arthur hovers… and how the prince’s worry is beginning to look a lot like something else.
A slow-burn story about devotion disguised as duty, love revealed through quiet choices, and the people who become home when the world turns dangerous.
Love wins — even when it has to fight for it.
Written with a companion playlist (linked in the notes) :)

Summary
Merlin is a great detective. They call him Magic, for a reason. But when Arthur Pendragon realizes that the famous detective who has been plaguing his criminal organization for five years, is designated Submissive…well. All’s fair in love and war. At an impasse where both of them will do anything it takes to keep the other one from revealing their secrets, the only way to survive might just be a truce that neither of their organizations can know about.
Mutually assured destruction never felt so good.

Summary
In the cold and shadowed streets of late 1800s Camelot, Gwaine works until his hands bleed. He is a man drowning in debt, grief and ale, seeking any job that might quiet his thoughts.

Hiding in his old manor, in the town that made him the creature he was, Merlin lives a careful life, veiling his true self from the world. But when a reckless dock worker crosses his path, bleeding and unafraid, Merlin finds his control slipping.

Summary
Harry and Draco have found a kind of peace, laughter in the kitchen, a child’s voice drifting down the hall, a life they never thought they’d be allowed to have. Yet even peace feels fragile; as Scorpius grows and the world begins to look their way, Draco can’t help but wonder how long this quiet will last. Harry wants to show him that he means forever.
A story about love, legacy, and the strength it takes to keep believing.

Summary
Merlin can’t remember the last time he’s locked his bedroom door, if ever. But he chooses not to think about it. He merely sulks his way back to his bed, taking a moment to contemplate taking off his trousers and tunic from the night before. He decides not to think about that either.
Instead, he decides not to think at all. He just falls back into his bed, covers up his body more so in shame than for warmth, and closes his eyes.
Basically Merlin is sexually assaulted and this story follows how he and everyone else deals with it.
Spoiler alert: THEY DON'T HANDLE IT WELL.

Summary
"Uther had been pissed when Arthur announced that instead of being a solo artist he was going to be part of a band but then their first album had gone platinum and the media had dubbed him the prince of rock and it had gotten Uther off their backs for a while.
The second album hadn't done as well as the first by a large margin. People were starting to call them a one-hit wonder. Uther tried to make the point to Arthur that he could branch off on his own now. Start his solo career. But Arthur wasn't having it. So now they were searching for their 'new sound' which Merlin had continuously rolled his eyes at. They were all on edge which meant they were all fighting all the time and Merlin was stuck playing mediator."
I.E. all the boys are in a rock band that has lost its sound. That is until they find out that Merlin is a brilliant piano player. But with Merlin's stage fright to overcome and Gwaine's budding feelings will they be able to keep the band together?

Summary
Merlin is at rock bottom again, but this time it isn’t his fault. He thinks he should be winning awards at this point, for how low he could possibly get before getting any lower. So when the most affluent businessman in London proposes a six month plan to fix both of their problems, how could he say no? Arthur is cocky and irritating and Merlin’s temper isn’t making the plan go any easier, but even Merlin thinks Arthur’s crazy idea just might work. He’ll make it work if it kills him.
…or he falls in love.
Whichever comes first.

Summary
When Harry switches to a new (experimental) medication he discovers being a werewolf is very different than he originally thought it would be. He can smell emotions, hear conversations from rooms away, and can heal more than ten times faster than he could when he was human. The only thing he can't quite figure out is why Draco Malfoy smells so damn good all the time and why he has the sudden overwhelming urge to grind him into the wall whenever he sees him. Oh well. It's just part of the medication, right?

Summary
“So what brings you my way?” Gwaine asked. To anyone but Merlin, it might have been startling to hear the man sound so somber, but Merlin knew Gwaine could take life seriously when he wanted to. He played the fun-loving drunk as well as Merlin played the fool, but Gwaine had his demons as well. Maybe that was why Merlin came here instead of Ealdor or wherever Lancelot was at the moment.
Merlin forced himself to look up. “I guess I could just use a friend right now."
When Merlin is banished from Camelot after his magic is revealed, he struggles to believe he has worth outside of Arthur and their supposed destiny together. But Gwaine has always known Merlin deserved better.
