    Summary

    When Arthur blows the horn of Cathbdhah for the second time, the horn doesn’t just send Uther to the other world. It sends Arthur away as well – to a world where Ygraine never died, the Great Purge never happened, and magic lives freely at court. As do those who practice it.

    Summary

    After the disastrous end of his betrothal to Gwen and the regret of his offer to Princess Mithian, Arthur swears off finding a wife until he's ready to wed. When Merlin offers himself to Arthur as bedmate, Arthur suggests they hand-fast in secret for a single year of mutual pleasure without obligation. As their year together unfolds, and secrets and betrayals unravel around them, Arthur and Merlin learn there is no such thing as uncomplicated pleasure. Everything they thought they knew can change in the span of a single year.

    Summary

    Merlin came to a sudden stop when he noticed that:
    A. Uther was still staring at him, but, now, instead of a raised eyebrow, he had both his eyes wide open in horror.
    B. Merlin had got carried away and called Arthur “Your Royal Prattishness” in front of the king.
    C. Uther had heard him and probably the only reason Merlin wasn’t being dragged to the stocks right away was because Uther was still too shocked to function.

    Summary

    After Merlin is taken by Morgana's mercenaries, Arthur miraculously finds him stumbling around in the forest. Merlin appears to be fine—except he's acting a little strange. Could it be... love?

    I.e., A Servant of Two Masters, if Arthur found out Merlin had been enchanted.

    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.
