Summary
Merlin has been alive for a very long time.
He is not losing it... But he is on a very meditative journey to become one with a blade of grass when he suddenly wakes up in the sixth century, surrounded by friends he only sort of remembers and a king who isn't a king yet.
In other words: My version of a Merlin travels back fix it fic starting in the missing year between seasons 3 and 4.
Will add more tags as they become relevant!

Alliances, Old and New by Merlinfirstlastalways

Summary
With Vivian cured and Camelot's alliance with King Olaf reaffirmed and stronger than ever, Merlin prepares to visit another ally: Princess Elena.
Yet, there are complications. Gwaine, more protective than ever, seems to realize that Merlin is still keeping secrets, and there are still those who oppose the idea of decriminalizing sorcerery. And, of course, there's the lingering question of Morgana's influence. Where is she? When will she make her next move? And what new threats might Merlin and his knights face as they travel the Kingdoms?
~a direct sequel to Bad Dreams; this will not make sense if you haven't read the other entries in the series~

Summary
In his grief, Merlin makes a deal with fate. He can save everyone in Camelot---right from day one. He is sent back in time, remembering everything that has happened, in the hopes of rewriting his own story.
-
He looks around, surprised and more than a little lost. No, this is definitely Camelot, despite the fact that he'd been nowhere near mere seconds ago. A voice speaks, and Merlin realizes three things at exactly the same time.
1. This is a much younger, although still very familiar, version of Camelot.
2. Uther Pendragon is alive, and is unfortunately the one talking.
3. Merlin is much shorter. That might just be the worst of the three.- Language:

Summary
What if Merlin discovered his immortality much earlier than what was hinted at in the show? How much would that change things if Merlin did not have to fear the pyre or Uther's wrath? If he could use his magic openly to help? If he didn't have to lie to everybody?
Merlin wakes up from drinking the poisoned chalice to Gaius and Gwen telling him he's been dead for hours.
After getting some confirmation (stupid dragon always talking in riddles) he decides that it is time to stop hiding his magic.
If he's going to be this so-called "greatest sorcerer to walk the Earth" then he needs to get on that immediately.
After all, a warlock needs some time to practice and he can't do that if he is constantly having to hide his magic while trying to complete all of his chores in between saving Arthur's life, now can he?
Updates are VERY sporadic.

Summary
Merlin was told that his purpose lies in protecting Arthur and bringing about the age of peace for Avalon. He was not told that he had any worth outside of destiny. The constant sacrifices and battles that Merlin faces in his quest to protect Arthur take their toll, and everyone has a limit.

Summary
When Arthur and his knights are led into a trap and captured on Dyfed’s territory, Gwen is prompted to invoke the right of single combat. But, when Dyfed’s chosen champion is revealed to be a powerful sorceress, Merlin must take on the guise of Emrys to fight for Camelot. In doing so, the young warlock will discover just how much he is willing to sacrifice for his friends, and for the future he believes Arthur Pendragon is destined to create.
“It had never been the dragon’s prophecy he believed in so fiercely– it was Arthur. If Arthur died here, it would be like losing a part of himself. He would forever be incomplete. Severed. Merlin would remain frozen in time.”

Summary
After Arthur disobeyed his father and retrieved the Mortaeus flower for Merlin's cure, Arthur's frantic pleading to save Merlin led to a misunderstanding that actually convinced Uther to take the flower to Gaius.
Now all Arthur has to do is explain to Merlin why Uther thinks they are lovers.
And while Uther is supportive of the relationship, he requires it kept secret. But in his paranoia, Uther misinterprets every innocent interaction between the two as something far more intimate, to the embarrassment of everyone involved.
And then the knights begin showing up...

My Heart, Your Soul by Seriously_awkward_amy
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, Twilight Series - All Media Types
28 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
Harry had been a lot of things in his life, but happy hadn’t been one of them for a very long time. He and Jasper loved each other. The wolves trusted Harry to be the middle man between themselves and the Coven. Bree was learning to be her own person with Rosalie and Emmett’s support. Edward and Bella were about to get married (too absorbed in each other to annoy Harry). Carlisle and Esme were thrilled to see their family as close as it had ever been (despite Harry avoiding them often), while Alice bathed in the happiness of her family.
Everything seemed so peaceful.
Mortuus was still a thorn in his side, but he was growing annoyingly fond of that thorn.
What Harry hadn’t been expecting was a series of unpredictable events that would lead to him actually standing up for and defending Bella Swan. Oh, and having to tear down another stupid and arbitrary government. But when you're Harry Potter, what else could you really expect?
Sequel to My Soul, Your Heart.

Summary
Things change after Harry takes in the magic of the basilisk, but that doesn’t mean that the world waits for Harry to catch up as a fugitive roams the streets hunting for a rat, a werewolf stalks the halls hoping for a second chance, and summer plans go awry. Harry just wants to survive the year after the hell that was second year, but between teenage emotions and the mass murder after him, he almost begins to wonders if he will.
It doesn’t help that dementors are haunting the school.

Summary
When a rescue mission goes bad it's Merlin who ends up being tortured for information. And the knight are about to discover it's hardly his first time.
--------
"He's the king. Don't you think he deserves to know?" Elyan asked.
"No!" Merlin exclaimed, his voice tinged with desperation. "When have I ever given you the impression that I care about his title?" He waited for the expected eye rolls and sighs. "He has enough to worry about as it is. There's no need to tell him that I occasionally find myself in a scrape or two."
"You call being kidnapped, tortured, killing four men, and stitching up your own stab wound a scrape?" Leon's voice carried a mixture of disbelief and concern.
"No," Merlin replied casually, his voice laced with a touch of dark humor. "I call it Thursday."

In which Merlin wakes up and chooses violence, and decides not to rethink that choice.
Or: Merlin realizes that, if he's going to keep Arthur safe and keep his magic a secret, he will have to get a little bit physical. Arthur has to rethink everything in existence when he's suddenly forced to confront the fact that Merlin can fight, and is in fact, bloody dangerous
Or: The author randomly thought "Murder Twink Merlin" while re-watching the show, and decided it was his mission in life to make that a tag.

Summary
Forced to fight for their lives, the Knights of Camelot find themselves trapped in an ancient colosseum. They don’t remember getting there nor do they know where their favorite manservant is. Given three days to survive brutal battles against fierce warriors and magical beasts, they are tethered to the temple until the final match: Arthur, Leon, Gwaine, Elyan, and Percival versus an unknowable, terrifying creature. The questions pile up as they begin to feel unidentifiable pain. Why were they brought here? Where is Merlin? And what—or who—is this “Emrys” they are drawing power from?

Summary
When Merlin barges into the council chamber to declare himself a sorcerer and save Gwen from execution, no one believes him. So he does magic, obviously. Now, he needs to fulfill his gods-be-damned destiny while roughing it in the woods.
What follows is a mess of treason, underground sorcerer societies in the heart of Camelot, DIY home construction, faeries, talking Griphons, and all the joy I think the characters deserved just for existing. And some angst. Just a little bit.
Splits from season 1 episode 3 of the series ("The Mark of Nimweh")
***
Merlin had to admit, being shackled to a wall did help one stay awake. He wondered if it was late enough for him to break out yet; being imprisoned was boring, and his wrists were getting really sore. Watching a pyre be built wasn’t particularly entertaining, unless one enjoyed contemplating their own death in the single most painful way imaginable. Merlin may have had every intention of escaping and none of dying, but the sight still made his stomach go cold.
Merlin slipped out of the shackles and stretched his wrists, wincing, before putting them back on in a clattering panic when he heard footsteps down the hall.

Summary
Set right after the ghost hunting episode in Season 5. Arthur finds out about Merlin’s magic in front of a crowd. He has to decide what to do about his best friend’s betrayal in the public eye. Will he have the courage to overturn centuries of law for a servant or will he succumb to the growing call for an execution?
Essentially it’s a lot of angst and BAMF Merlin followed by fluffy convos.

Summary
Camelot has come out of a conflict with a war lord with a few bruises. Arthur is still recovering from an injury sustained in battle, Camelot's coffers are drained, and the tension between Merlin and Arthur is palpable. With Merlin's magic freshly revealed in battle, Arthur is still struggling to convince Merlin he doesn't have a problem with it. His bright idea is to make Merlin Court Sorcerer. When Merlin rejects that idea, Arthur turns to Morgana, freshly returned to his side, hoping to convince her to be Court Sorceress instead. Given that Morgana was recently an enemy, his council has a thing or two to say about that. A deal is struck; Arthur must marry an eligible young lady to strengthen Camelot if he wants Morgana to be Court Sorceress.
Lady Lynette is polite and sweet, and Arthur gets along with her well enough. If only her brother wasn't such an asshole.

Summary
There are magic reveals, A narrator whose only job seems to be sarcasm, and a plot that keeps Lance alive. That's what ya'll really want, right?
Started out as a one shot but I couldn’t help myself… it turned into a fix-it.
-—-Gwaine found himself in very unique situations whenever near to Merlin.
(Yes. Seeing Merlin drag dead people into their graves is a unique situation.)
-—-
"Uh?" Lancelot said. He directed to continue.
"This isn't.." Merlin gestured with a hand to the body on the floor.
He'd been dragging it. It was exactly what it looked like.
-—-
I am trying my best to stay on track with what actually happens in Merlin. However, there are *huge* empty spaces in-between seasons and episodes that I cannot, as a singular human, fill properly. Expect divergence from the canonical plot, including and not limited to Lancelot being alive (because I started writing without watching Merlin for a while and—hoo boy, the death of Lancelot is earlier than I thought).
