Summary
“You’re hurting me,” whined Aurelian. “Merlin, please let go! I swear I’m not gonna run. I can’t even go anywhere because I’m—”
Merlin paid no attention to his words and threw him roughly inside the Physician’s chambers. Gaius watched with mild interest from his work bench and frowned when he saw the boy. “Who the fuck are you?” asked Merlin, picking up a broom from the floor and twirling it in his hands expertly.
Aurelian sighed. It was like nobody actually paid attention to his words. “Prince Aurelian of Camelot,” he repeated duly. Gaius’ interest was further piqued as he put down his books and turned to the commotion.
“Impossible. Are you a sorcerer out to kill Arthur?” asked Merlin harshly. No point beating around the bush. To his shock, the boy snorted. “What is it?”
“That’s right, Merlin,” he said in a tone awfully similar to Arthur’s. “I absolutely travelled back in time just to do my own father in.” He laughed as Merlin’s jaw dropped open.
Or Arthur's (alleged) son travels back from the future and of course Merlin has to somehow send him back without causing massive panic. This is far easier said than done in his humble opinion.

Summary
“I can’t run all over the world with you, my lord, I can’t follow you the way I used to,” Merlin says.
“It’s alright. We can walk,” Arthur says.
“Arthur.”
“Merlin. This is our destiny. You and me and a new golden age. It was foretold, wasn’t it?”
“People have expectations,” Merlin sighs. “And you meet them. Obviously. Look at you. But I’m not—I’m not what people want from a Merlin of legend.”
“No, you’re much better groomed.”
“So that’s a ‘no’ on the Great Beard Experiment of 850?”(Arthur awakens in the modern era to bring back a Golden Age. He makes himself a media darling and realizes, after everything that can go wrong with that does, that he needs to find Merlin, since Merlin doesn't seem interested in finding him first. He tracks Merlin down, only to learn Merlin was in a car accident and is permanently disabled.)

Summary
It's been a year since Lancelot's death, but Arthur refuses to add a new member to the Round Table, no matter how much they need someone.
Merlin and the Knights will just have to add a new person without asking. Surely if they just pretend Galahad has always been here, Arthur won't stop them?

Summary
Episode reworking of 'The Darkest Hour.' It took a blood sacrifice to tear the veil between the worlds; it will take a blood sacrifice to mend it. Arthur knew his duty to his people, and he'd been grimly ready to do what needed to be done. But if there is even the barest possibility of a way out... is it really so very selfish of him to consider another option when one is offered? Does Camelot need a living king or a dead hero? Reposted from ff.net.

Arthur ignored him. “What’s your name?”
The man deflated. “Merlin.”
“Merlin, as in, the wizard?”
“No. Merlin, as in, the bloke who was closing up shop but couldn’t because a royal prat barged in here and tested his remaining patience.”
“Doesn’t ring a bell.”
“Bet it doesn’t. Doesn’t seem like much goes on up there.”
“Well." Arthur forced a wide smile. "Aren’t you quite the charmer?”

Summary
There was a lot Arthur loved about living in Boscastle with Merlin, but it was spoilt slightly by the fact that modern life was out to get him, and the people in the village kept looking at him very strangely indeed.
As for his neighbour, Mrs Arbuthnot, he would probably be avoiding her entirely if her biscuits weren't so damn delicious...

Summary
'Lord Thranduil gave you a seed, as a gift, and you... planted it?'
'That's what you do with seeds!' Bilbo snapped, his gut twisting anxiously. By the Valar, he hoped he had not started another war by burying something valuable and symbolic in the ground, rather than treasuring it.
'Did he say what it was?' Dori asked.
He had, and its name was so new to Bilbo's ear that he had been immediately intrigued. He'd had a rummage through Erebor's library for more information, but the scribe's halls were in such a sorry state that he'd found nothing of note. Instead, he'd decided to let the tenderness of soft rain and summer sun work its magic and unveil the secret.
'Peridexion.'

Summary
Arthur wishes he could climb inside of Merlin’s ribs, let him be held by the soul of his beloved in their final resting place. Here in the cradle of devotion shall he decompose. When they are one with the earth again, let the tombstone lament the piety of a king to his sorcerer.
"Here," it would read, "lies the feeble prince and his titan." Here, among the strewn about bodies of their enemies and the knotted roots of the woods, they would stay.
Or, Merlin is felled by a bandit and Arthur falls apart.

Summary
“And next to petition…” droned the herald, looking down at his papers. “Welcome Lady Enid Kantor to speak to the court.”
Merlin yawned.
“The lady is here to offer her services…” – a confused look came upon his face – “to the King.”
A murmur rose in among the nobles as a small older woman slowly made her way up the aisle to the throne.
Arthur raised an eyebrow. “You wish to offer me a service?”
“Yes, your majesty, I do.”
Whispers and frowns were interchanged among the nobles, but the Lady Kantor only smiled. “One could say I am an inspector of sorts.”Or: An inspector comes to Camelot to examine the court. Merlin thinks Arthur finally lost his mind.
