    Summary

    When Merlin is lost to Arthur in a way he cannot cope with, the prince is left shattered - adrift in a world colder and lonelier than he ever imagined. But grief is only the beginning. When Merlin returns, unchanged and without memory of being gone, or why, Arthur confronts a truth he never expected: He cannot live without Merlin, for he is the half that makes him whole. Together, they must navigate the revelation of a huge secret, danger, and their own hearts - discovering that love can rise from even the darkest of tragedies, and that some souls are destined to be forever entwined.

    Summary

    “Merlin.”

    His hair, his eyes, his smile. Merlin knew it all by heart, but still it took him by surprise. It— the wonder, the love, the ache— crowded everything else out.

    “Arthur,” he returned, and could not help but smile.

    His name had always sounded like a smile.

    “Hū lange slēp ic?”

    Merlin froze.

     

    Or, Arthur comes home— but what does it mean to come home, when the word for home has changed?

    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

    "He loved thunderstorms.

    That was until he killed Nimueh.

    Merlin didn’t know why the storms affected him so much after that. Of course he knew it was somehow about Nimueh, but why did her life weigh on his subconscious more than all the others? "

    or

    Merlin is not quite himself during thunderstorms, so how does it go when one storm drags on far longer than it needs to and Arthur starts to get suspicious?

    Summary

    “Here he is, strung up to a ceiling, bruised and bloody, fighting with everything he had to hold his tongue to keep them safe, while they didn't even fucking notice he was gone.”

    Merlin gets kidnapped and tortured for three days, and no one noticed he was missing. Thinking he killed the threat while escaping, he was down and determined to keep it a secret and pretend it never happened.

    Summary

    On a scale of one to ten, Merlin would rate being married to Arthur a six and a half.
    The two made dinner almost every night together and Merlin always at least tried to remember to wash his dishes. More than half of these dinner's also involved Gwen. Actually, most of their relationship also involved Gwen and Merlin found it a bit annoying, but he was used to it by now.

    Ever since Peter was eight years old and came into Matt's life he's recognized him everywhere, coming out of school, sitting at home when he comes back from work, or coming in the front door, but today, in this hospital room, Matt almost couldn't recognize him at all.

    Summary

    Matt Murdock is lawyering it up after he and Foggy Nelson start up their practice again post-blip but New York feels like it's falling apart in rapid time. Frank Castle is back, Wilson Fisk is supposedly dead, the Ronan was back, and there's a Russian Assasin in town. That and the Spider-kid is continuing to make the news hate him. Honestly, Matt doesn't know if he wants to retire from fighting for his city or if he needs to hold this shitshow together.

    Summary

    He doesn’t need answers or promises now. Frank doesn’t need a name to call their thing, or assurances about the future. He wants Red to be okay and he wants him to know Frank will be there - that’s all he needs.
    Maybe it was past time Frank came home, too.

    This is best read after Midland, but can be read as a stand-alone.
