Summary
A hand grasped his arm, sending a brief thrill down Merlin's nerves as he was forced around to face the person behind him. Armour gleamed in the firelight: supple chainmail glinted, and the solid iron of a pauldron curved lovingly over one broad shoulder. The length of a sword blade separated them. The point hovered, steady and sure, over Merlin's heart, braced to run him through, but he did not care about any of that. He was too busy drinking in the sight of the man before him.
He could never forget him, no matter how many centuries had passed.
'Arthur?'
When Merlin ultimately fails in his destiny, the fading remnants of magic that linger in the modern world fling him not just back in time, but sideways as well. He ends up in a Camelot where all his friends are alive, well and aware of his magic.
He ends up in a Camelot where his alternate self died almost a year ago.
Can he, Arthur and their friends still forge the golden age he was once promised, or will grief and suspicion tear them apart?

A canon-compliant series of the pivotal moments in Arthur and Merlin's relationship. Some will be real scenes from the show told from one of their perspectives and others will be new content that I've added. I'm also planning a full Arthur returns fic to finish it all off at some point!

Summary
There are many reasons that Merlin is a horrible manservant. Most of the time, Arthur is the one who suffers from Merlin’s unscrupulous behaviour, and it’s this fact only that has saved Merlin’s job. Because, as much as Merlin lacks the qualities for being a properly attentive manservant, his unique view on the nobility’s importance—namely, non-existent—means that he is probably the closest thing Arthur’s ever had as a friend.
Not that he’d tell Merlin, obviously.
Or: Five times Merlin wears Arthur's clothes out of need, and one time because Arthur asks him to.

Summary
“Merlin!” he calls out, and nearly falls over himself to take the three remaining steps to his manservant. He breathes hard, putting a hand on the raw, red material of Merlin’s tunic. There is something under there.
A head peeks out, and blue eyes stare at him.
“Who are you?” a child demands, with Merlin’s familiar eyes and a mop of dark hair falling over his forehead, and two ears sticking out from his face. “How d’you know my name? Are you a knight?”
“Oh, no,” Arthur says, in what he thinks is a very apt assessment of the situation.

Summary
Arthur finds out about Merlin's magic prior to the events of season 5 and post-season 4. He goes into sullen silence to punish Merlin for lying to him, leaving Merlin in the interim of "does he want me dead or does he just need time?"
It leaves Merlin spiraling and Arthur to deal with the heart of Camelot, his heart, to deal with it.

In the end, the only question that needs to be answered is whether they love one another enough to overcome it.

Summary
Fifteen hundred years after he succumbed to his wounds at Camlann, Arthur is reborn in the 21st century with dreams of a time long past. As he grows up in this new world, he is reunited with his fellow knights from Camelot, but there is one face-perhaps the most important one-that is still missing.
Join Arthur on his journey to find out what happened to his best friend and, perhaps, make some life-changing discoveries along the way. What happened to Merlin after he sent Arthur away in that boat? Was Merlin reincarnated like the rest of the knights? Will Arthur ever see Merlin again?
