Summary
Prompt: "Arthur counts the days between Merlin's smiles."
Sometimes Arthur doesn’t want to push, but sometimes Arthur burns with the desire to know, to do something. He hates feeling useless, fists clenched tight at his side as whatever plagues Merlin’s thoughts gnaws at him, eating slowly until he’s wan and tired. The smiles return after, like little glimpses of sunlight through a long and dark winter, where everything is right and normal again because Merlin is smiling and happy.

Summary
Art inspired by ArgentSleeper's Happiness and Dragons:
Once upon a time there was a princess locked away in a tower and guarded by a fire-breathing dragon. But although Princess Elena plays an important role in our tale, this is not a story about her. That honour goes instead to the dragon who watched over her, who had hopes and dreams and a curse of his own. That dragon’s name was Merlin.

Summary
“No. He’s not dead.” Of that, Merlin was certain. He had more cause than most to wonder what would happen if Arthur were to die, and he knew without a doubt that the world would not feel the same without Arthur in it.
"And I'm going to find him, whether you believe me or not."

Summary
It was bad enough that Merlin woke up in a field out of town missing five months' worth of his memories, but it was even worse coming back to find that his best friend couldn't stand him anymore and no one knew why. Reconciling with Arthur would be a lot easier if things were simple, but things in Merlin's life rarely are, and regaining his memories is only making things more difficult -- and more dangerous.

Summary
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
The plan was simple: Arthur Pendragon was to scout out the seaside town of Ealdor without anyone knowing he was there on behest of his father’s hotel company. It was supposed to be "get in, swoop in on prime real estate before the competition gets to it, then get out." Funny how the plan didn’t include Merlin Emrys, a self-proclaimed “psychic” who swore Arthur’s life was in danger the longer he stayed in town.
Not to mention what to do when it turned out Merlin was right.

Summary
Anger is a false thing. It is never alone. Anger lies like a harlot with a multitude of other emotions, shrouding them in her bed linens to hide them from sight...Love, when it is true, is always alone.
