    Summary

    When Merlin comes to restore his magic in the Crystal Cave after the Gean Canach took it from him, he receives something else too: a second chance.

    Back in time, the young warlock is torn between wanting to fulfil the prophecy or forgetting about destiny all together to just live his life. Whatever he chooses for, there are many things changing, old friendships strengthening and new relationships forming.

    Or…

    Everything I wish happened in the show instead.

    Summary

    Arthur brands him with every touch of his fingertips, and Merlin wears it like a death sentence—and a benediction.

    Summary

    In which Arthur handcuffs himself to Merlin.

    Merlin turns a scathing look on him, obviously about to say something completely inappropriate. His face is so close, and usually it’s easy to banter with Merlin like this, natural, but again, there it is: the line of iron between them, linking them.

    There’s no escape.

    Summary

    As a prince and then a king, there have been certain expectations of Arthur. A king is expected to be a leader, to be experienced, both on the battlefield and in the bedroom. As Arthur has grown from a prince into a king, he has done what his knights, his soldiers, even the other nobles expect of him. But he has never truly enjoyed it.

    When Arthur lets it slip to Merlin that he doesn’t actually believe most sexual acts to be enjoyable, Merlin takes it upon himself to prove Arthur wrong. What follows for Arthur is the realisation that he is in fact attracted to men, sex in fact can be good and he does in fact have a submissive side.

    Summary

    No one survives the Dorocha’s touch.

    Not even Merlin.

    At least that’s what Arthur and the Knights think after Merlin saves Arthur’s life by throwing himself at the Dorocha.

    Or

    Arthur and the knights believe Merlin has died after being struck by the Dorocha and bury him accordingly before continuing their quest to close the veil and save Camelot. But we all know that even the Dorocha cannot stop Merlin.
