Summary
For centuries, Merlin, now living under the name Emrys, has built himself a life. Complete with a career, a home, and a young ward named Wren.
He has even accepted that Arthur will never return.
Then Emrys and Wren are thrown two thousand years into the past, back to Camelot.
For Wren, it's the adventure of a lifetime. For Emrys, it is a return to everything he lost and every regret he thought he'd buried.
But if history can be rewritten, what will become of Albion?

Summary
“My lord?” Gaius called.
Arthur swallowed hard before turning around.
“Yes?” he replied, his voice strangely neutral, far too clear for someone who felt as though his chest were being crushed from the inside.
“I need you to tell me in detail what happened” the physician said. The effort to remain professional was obvious, to keep from showing the despair that must have been consuming him at the sight of his nephew in such a state.
“There’s nothing to tell” Arthur said far too quickly, as though he wanted to end the matter before it gained any weight. “He was completely normal one second, and the next he was groaning in pain, with his eyes…” he made a vague gesture with his hand, unable to finish. Giving it shape would make it real, and he was not sure he could bear it. What difference did it make now? He’s dead, a cruel part of his mind whispered. “Then his eyes rolled back and he… fainted.”

Or: where Merlin’s soul travels back in time while fighting in the midst of the Second World War, and, in the process, his body in Camelot dies for a few minutes, sending Arthur Pendragon to the verge of fainting.

Summary
Arthur stood frozen in the corridor of cells. He refused to turn around back to that room of death. He wouldn’t look or even go near the poor forgotten bodies until one man was in his presence alive and well. Because he had to be, he couldn’t be in that mess of burnt flesh and blood. Merlin couldn’t have been captured or held here. It wasn’t true, he didn’t, none of those bodies could be him. But he knew that scrap of fabric. He had given that neckerchief to him himself, it was a birthday present.
Or
6 months after banishing Merlin for magic Arthur believes his former manservant has been tortured and murdered. Now 3 years later they finally succeed in repealing the magic ban and are ready to welcome the druids back to Camalot, but when the Druid Lord Emrys has been targeted by Morgana the King sees it as his duty to send aid.

Summary
A banquet, a drink, and one (un)fortunate mistake. Merlin awakens in Arthur's bed with little memory of the previous night, but with all of the physical reminders.
While pretending it never happened works for Arthur, it's less easy for Merlin as he comes to realize that he is carrying more than just regrets.

Summary
known in my head as 'the adventuring au', a straggly series of stories where merlin is a wandering physician (nearly. sort of) and Arthur is a wandering knight (er. almost. kind of) and they run into each other.
It's Arthur/Merlin but quite background, and there are other background pairings too.
Lots of 'magic can do cool things' and Merlin is a competent badass. And there is a DOG. a very good dog <3
