Summary
Set after the Merlin Series 5 Finale "Diamond of the Day".
Canon Compliant. In Character. Arthur Pendragon Returns.
Cover art by Lao-Pendragon------
For many long years Merlin waited.
For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.
Until one day, suddenly, it did.
When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.
Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, & True Love.

Summary
Merlin felt strong arms lift him. He wanted to protest, to stay and hear what else Gaius might say, but the knights were already carrying him off the training field, and he sank into oblivion.
~*~
An assassination attempt on Arthur leaves Merlin seriously injured. In fact, he shouldn't survive ... but he does. And that brings a lot of other questions to the fore.

Summary
As Merlin looked back in bewilderment, he found how, right in Camelot's courtyard, in front of every eyewitness, commoner and nobility—
Arthur Pendragon was on his knees.
“Merlin,” Arthur began breathlessly, tears painting his stance with plea, begging and not caring how he, the king, was now kneeling for a servant in front of his citizens who never saw him kneel for anyone before. “Please, Merlin, I beg you, I plead of you— just give me five minutes then sentence me to hell afterwards for all I care.”
Π∆
Diamond of the day fix-it, with a secret that only Arthur Pendragon knows.

Summary
Merlin knew what a Sigil represented; a concept he had been introduced to shortly after arriving in Camelot. A marriage proposal of the deepest and most romantic kind, a callback to the traditions of old – for those who appreciated such things.
As such, Arthur’s message was clear.
Keep it safe for my future bride.
And, well, he could do that. No matter what it took.

Bookmarker's Notes
病梅，be，梅一年就去世了，很美的文笔和叙事，是那种隔着语言差异也能感受到的凄美，引用一条评论“Tragedy will never be my favourite genre as I simply feel too much, but it’s stories like this that leaves me ‘I get it’. There is such beauty in heartache and heartbreak, and contrasted in loss and sorrow and mourning, love shines all the brighter.”（“悲剧永远不会是我最喜欢的体裁，因为我感受太深，但正是这样的故事让我觉得‘我懂了’。心痛与心碎中自有美丽，而在失落、悲伤与哀悼的映衬之下，爱显得愈发耀眼。”）

In which Morgana is adopted, Leon is eight-years-old but so not eight-years-old, Gwaine is there to keep Arthur sane, and Merlin is doing his best to fix what he can. While he can.

Summary
“Merlin has magic!”
It was all that Uther needed— that momentary hesitation in Arthur’s physique... that doubt thrusted upon him ever since the day he had blinked into a world without loving guardians... that silent second of shock emanating from both sides, surrendering to circumstance and fate.
It was all that Uther needed to thrust the sword he had into the sorcerer’s chest.

Summary
In a society where people with magic are considered to be dangerous, are labelled as freaks, and have their powers cut off from them, Merlin does whatever he can to survive the hard life he’s faced with. When he’s in desperate need of money, Merlin’s landlord Aredian arranges and offers a magically binding contract in which Merlin is to become a ‘companion’ to Uther Pendragon’s son, Arthur. And when Merlin feels compelled to accept it, he never would have imagined that one man could change his life so completely.

Written for the kinkme_merlin prompt: In the fashion described regarding the treatment of Damane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damane) in The Wheel of Time, rather than killing all sorcerers, Uther has select few "leashed" and enslaved to the service of his armies. Merlin is leashed and Arthur is his master.

Summary
Arthur's an Alpha. Merlin's an Omega. They're both princes.
Uther wants an alliance with Balinor. Balinor wants nothing to do with Uther.
Arthur and Merlin feel the same about each other as their fathers do, and thus this whole courting thing is a complete farce.
Right?
