    Summary

    Arthur makes Merlin read the drafts of the new laws to legalise magic in Camelot. Merlin freaks out because he thinks Arthur discovered his magic. Meanwhile, Arthur is concerned because he thinks Merlin is against magic users.

    or they're both idiots in love and don't know how to talk, but they figure it out in the end

     

    (timeline is Arthur is king and never married Gwen because Lancelot is alive and Morgana is good.)

    Summary

    To say Arthur was having a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day was putting it lightly. It started out with the pixie in the pantry, which sounded like one of Gwaine’s inane drinking songs but was in actuality an unmitigated disaster of flour, chaos, flying apples, and wasted pastries…

    An unfortunate incident with a pixie leads to Arthur and Merlin swapping bodies for a day. When Merlin’s closely guarded secrets surface in the process, it’s up to Arthur to figure out how to proceed. Trust, love, protection, they’re all forms of the same thing, aren’t they? And what of secrets, burdens, and all the lies we keep to ourselves? This is a story about what would happen if we chose to pull off the veil and step, together, into the light.

    Summary

    After five years of living in Camelot, Merlin’s picked up quite a few handy skills. Ranging from his servant chores to impossible feats of magic. There are some things he’s learned though that had nothing to do with either. Like how to deal with a pair of guards in front of Arthur and the knights, ergo without using magic.
    Arthur is absolutely not jealous. Not. One. Bit.

    Summary

    Merlin was supposed to be the most powerful sorcerer to ever walk the earth. Magic itself. The one destined to bring peace, the immortal Emrys the druids whispered about, half god, half myth.

    And yet, he couldn’t even heal a fucking paper cut.

    ****

    Merlin’s magic has always failed him when it comes to healing. So when Arthur is fatally injured before his eyes, Merlin has only one choice left - to break every rule of nature to keep him alive.

    Summary

    “I’ll fix it.” Merlin croaks. “I’ll fix everything. We’ll switch places. You’ll be back in Camelot in no time. You’ll see Gwen again. I promise.”

    Arthur makes a noise of protest but Merlin shushes him. “I know you don’t trust me anymore but I will make everything right.” Merlin vows.

    The sorcerer truly means this, Arthur knows. Sincerity is practically dripping from every word. It’s such a Merlin thing to promise, with that earnest and determined tone. It only scares Arthur more.

    Summary

    It is Yuletide in Camelot. On the eve before Yule, Arthur and Merlin profess their love. Then Arthur finds out about Merlin's magic and his years of deception. He is hurt and angry until the spirits of Yuletide come to him and show him the full truth about Merlin. There is some angst along the way, but an eventual happy ending makes for a satisfying holiday story. This tale is, of course, inspired by Dickens' timeless Christmas story: "A Christmas Carol."

    This is a slightly expanded and freshly edited version of a work I posted a while back.

    Summary

    Uther catches Merlin using magic to do laundry, and when Arthur insists that shouldn't be grounds for execution, Uther assumes his son must be under an enchantment.
    And gay love sure is an enchantment, but... uh.... not this time buddy.

    Anyway, the king tortures Merlin to break the enchantment, and Merlin is just kicking his feet and giggling the whole time because "oh my god he LIKES me"

    Summary

    "If you ever say that talking to the dead is attractive, I'm breaking up with you, Arellano."

    Robin chuckles.

    "I would never say that. Do you think I'm that bad at flirting?"

    O: Robin survives and comes out of the basement with Finney, so he's there to witness that conversation.

    Summary

    Finney Blake first met Robin Arellano on a bleak, miserable day in November.
    In some sadistic sense, it was almost poetic that they'd meet again on such a day.

    Alternatively: The Black Phone, but Finney is kidnapped earlier, and taken to the basement - where he learns that Robin might not be so dead after all.

    Albert tilted his head, trying to hide his eagerness, "And Finney?"

    Max shrugged, "I don't know, Al," he sighed, "But, he is his mother's son. And if it's genetic..." Max trailed off, letting his words hang in the air.
