Summary
Returning after a journey that kept them far from Camelot for many weeks, Merlin finds himself dutifully trailing a strangely reticent Arthur to his chambers. Once inside he expects things to proceed as they normally would - a meal, a bath, getting Arthur settled for bed - but that mercurial mood persists and things progress in a (welcome) direction that Merlin certainly didn't expect.

Summary
“The Gods have deemed you worthy of returning to the land of the living, Sir Lancelot.” He was sure he could hear bitterness in her words.
“Why?”
“Emrys needs you. He is their vessel, and he is drowning under his burden. He will fail without counsel. The Gods have decreed it shall be you who saves him.”---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lancelot is sent back to Camelot to share Merlin's burden. Arthur thinks they're together romantically and gets jealous. A magic reveal turns their worlds upside down, and Lancelot is left to pick up the pieces. With Gwaine's help of course.
Canon divergence after the Lamia (4x08) but before Lancelot du Lac (4x09)
OR: the Lancelot return and Mercelot friendship we all deserved.
UPDATE: This used to be called Lancelot's Return, but I've renamed it. If you were looking for that fic, here it is.

Summary
Remus is an artist who, after a particularly messy breakup, finds himself drawn to the Cornish coast. His fresh start is disrupted, however, when he meets someone who reminds him an awful lot of his ex-boyfriend.
//
He really isn’t in the habit of judging his customers for their coffee orders – especially the ones loaded with sugar. He’s had his eye on the pastry case all morning, after all.
Sirius holds the cup up in salute, sticks a straw in it with an awful screech, and returns briefly to the till to drop what sounds like an ungodly amount of change into the tip cup. Remus has already backed up against the counter behind him when the other man hesitates by the door, shooting a look over his shoulder that would have a weaker man swooning. “How’s the knee?”
It takes Remus a moment to register the comment, glancing down at his own leg and realizing, much to his horror, that Sirius really must have been watching him struggle with that traitorous folding table, and that he must not be so faceless and forgettable after all. He can feel the blush creeping up the back of his neck, but he manages a laugh and an eyeroll, “I’ll live. See you around!”
And God, half of him hopes he doesn’t.

Summary
Arthur gave Merlin his cloak thinking only of the warmth it would offer in a snowstorm. He never thought his manservant may be mistaken for him and snatched by bandits. Nor did he expect his dashing rescue of Merlin to turn his world so utterly on his head.
Because the bandits hadn't kidnapped a prince. They'd snatched a sorcerer, and now captivity is the least of anyone's problems.
A golden age awaits, but can they claim it together, or are they doomed to fail?
