    Summary

    Merlin knows it’s better him than anyone else - it’s the mantra he repeats like a lifeline with every aching step he takes up the endless stairs in the castle, bones protesting and bruises littering his mauled chest. It’s better him than Gwen, he thinks, hands shaking as Arthur hands him off to Lord Something-Or-Other, known for whipping his servants into submission. It’s better him than the laundry girls, barely older than ten, trembling in fear as Sir Newest Knight throws a predatory gaze like a promise.

    It’s better him. He has magic, so he could fight back, if need be. No one else has magic, so they couldn't fight back. It’s that simple.

    (It’s really not)

    Summary

    Everyone insisted that Arthur needed time to process, to accept that Merlin was gone. The only problem was that Merlin wasn’t.

    Arthur didn’t know how to explain it without sounding like Uther when he’d seen Ygraine in the well, like he was losing his mind and looking for ghosts. He didn’t know how to look at his court and make them understand that Merlin had once told him about nature, about the sacred connectedness of the earth, and asked Arthur if he felt it. He didn’t know how to say that he hadn’t felt it back then, but that he did now. He felt it all. He felt Merlin in it.

    --

    Merlin saves Arthur's life at Camlann at the cost of his own. Merlin can't die, so it's not that simple.

    Summary

    He was cursed, he knew, by his own actions. Had he listened to his own heart, Arthur wouldn't be stuck, repeating the same day again and again. But while time looped itself, Arthur's mind did not. Merlin couldn't help him this time. He would solve it on his own; he had to.

    Arthur's terrible no good very bad Groundhog Day.

    Summary

    Commander Arthur Pendragon leads the mission to Jupiter to establish a nascent colony in orbit around the gas giant. But once they arrive, a series of inexplicable accidents lead to EVA Specialist Merlin Emrys' death, and Arthur spirals into grief and guilt, jeopardizing the whole mission.

    Merlin, however, is not dead, but rather abducted by the draconic derkesthai aliens, who force him into changes both physical and mental. They want to send a message to humanity, and Merlin is to be the messenger. Unless he refuses to obey...
