Summary
Lancelot raised an eyebrow. “And what will you offer, then?”
“Me?” Merlin pretended to consider it. “Perhaps my old cloak. So it stops smelling like the stables. Or perhaps those official servant robes, so they'll burn as they always should have.”

Summary
Merlin hated flowers.
Or, more precisely, he hated what people did with flowers.
Wreaths, decorations, ceremonial crowns—all the stuff that invariably ended up in his hands, because, apparently, “Merlin, you’re good with delicate things!”

Summary
When Arthur closes his eyes and whispers his last goodbye, he is a king and husband. A warrior and diplomat. He is the last true great king of Albion and the one that brought war upon his lands.
When he opens his eyes, he is still all of those things.
But he doesn’t understand.
For one, he is back in his chambers. There is no Guinevere, and the servant that comes through the door is decidedly not Merlin. Arthur asks the lad if he’s dead. The lad fetches Gaius.

Summary
Lancelot thinks he will never be the most important person to anyone, and that Gwen and Merlin are the proof of it.
He doesn’t resent this, or them. Of course he doesn’t. He loves them. He wants them to be happy.
Which is why he doesn’t turn to them as he struggles to come to terms with who he is and what his purpose is without them.
But his determination to suffer in silence is challenged by someone unexpected.

Summary
To save the Prince, Merlin's magic is revealed and King Uther sentences him to death, to be burned on the stake. However Prince Arthur has a different plan, where he decides to run away with Merlin, forsaking his rights to the throne and to serve a self-voluntary exile beside Merlin.
This journey covers riches to rags, roads of difficulties and staying incognito from both foes and allies yet under the worst circumstances the duo finds themselves nurturing a bond stronger than friends whilst learning to embrace their flaws to adapt and overcome hurdles together.
Slight Inspiration: From the scene where Arthur tells Gwen (his literal queen) that if he wasn't the King, he would become a farmer and bring Merlin with him.

Summary
He was on his way to the store when he felt a stirring in the air, something familiar from ages past. It made his hair stand on end, and he pulled his jacket tighter around his body. He had his beat up headphones on, blocking out the sounds of the street. He was uncomfortable, deeply, deeply uncomfortable. That stirring felt… significant. In a way he hadn’t felt since- since Arthur.
Merlin is flung into the past, dragged across time and space to a Camelot so like his own and yet not at all the same. After a thousand years, he must find his way in this new world, or run as far away as he can, if only to save himself. Not to mention that Arthur is nowhere in sight, and those that he loves are in danger if they even get near him...
Arthur dreams of a life that is not his own, flashes of a past that he never lived haunting him. To possibly find answers, he must travel to Camelot, and possibly see what these strange dreams mean. Not to mention Mordred and Archimedes hinting at a destiny far greater than him, and the balance of magic as they know it forever altered by a strange force known as Emrys...

Summary
For several months now, he had occasionally been overwhelmed by the feeling the Old Religion had made a terrible mistake in making him Emrys and must be regretting it. Now that he had killed the person Arthur loved the most, he had no doubt that Emrys should have been someone other than him. The only good thing about him was his magic, but, unfortunately for everyone, it seemed he never made the right choices when it came to using it: the more he tried to fix a situation, the worse it became…
He needed to put an end to all of this and manage to put his magic at Arthur's service while ensuring he was no longer the intermediary between the two. He had found a spell to do exactly that. It was probably a completely insane plan and certainly very dangerous, but… Merlin couldn’t help but wonder if this wasn’t ultimately what the prophecy wanted. After all, it had just been said that he would protect Arthur with his magic and allow him to fulfill his destiny, right? As long as his magic did the job, he didn’t really need to be there, did he? -

Summary
Depuis maintenant plusieurs mois, il était de temps en temps envahi par le sentiment que l’Ancienne Religion avait commis une terrible erreur en faisant de lui Emrys et devait s’en mordre les doigts. A présent qu’il avait tué la personne qu’Arthur aimait le plus, il n’avait plus aucun doute sur le fait qu’Emrys aurait dû être quelqu’un d’autre que lui. La seule chose de bien chez lui était sa magie mais, malheureusement pour tout le monde, il semblait ne jamais faire les bons choix quand il fallait s’en servir : plus il s’efforçait d’arranger une situation, plus celle-ci empirait…
Il fallait qu’il mette un terme à tout ça et qu’il parvienne à mettre sa magie au service d’Arthur tout en faisant en sorte de ne plus être l’intermédiaire entre les deux. Il avait trouvé un sort pour faire exactement ça.
C’était probablement complètement fou comme plan et c’était très certainement dangereux mais… Mais Merlin ne pouvait pas s’empêcher de se demander si ce n’était pas finalement ce que la prophétie voulait. Après tout, il avait juste été dit qu’il protègerait Artur de sa magie et lui permettrait d’accomplir son destin, non ? Tant que sa magie faisait le boulot, il n’avait pas vraiment besoin d’être là, n’est-ce pas ? -

Summary
If Merlin were to be honest with himself, a thing he so rarely allowed, he would have not been surprised by it in the slightest. But lies were hard to break, especially when told to yourself over and over again. They have a way of infecting the mind, pointing it further away from reality with every whispered statement.

Summary

"Maybe Merlin was a lost child. Never been able to get to 18 without… this burden."
"Merlin. I’ll help you.”
“Kill me. I don’t want to feel anything anymore. Burn my corpse in the courtyard - serve it for dinner, for all I care.” He laughs, swaying towards Arthur’s chest a little. Arthur doesn’t move. His throat feels scratchy. What’s he supposed to do or say?
“I know you want me to die.” Merlin states. Arthur’s brows pinch and he shakes his head with a wince.
He wanted to retire to his chambers forever. He wanted to throw up his guts.
“You’d enjoy it, right - killing me?” Merlin asked as if he was already certain of the answer. Pale and frail fingers twisted the sword so the sharp edge scraped against the King’s armor. Arthur gulped but made no intention to move.
Merlin slid his fingers up the side of the blade, leaning in closer until his lips were centimeters from Arthur’s ear. “You don’t have to hide how you truly feel. I accept all of you - even the part that wishes people like me dead.”

"“Do… Do you no longer wish to serve me?” Arthur said, quietly."
"“It felt like years… until you entered, that is. Then it felt like only a few minutes.""
"He hated knowing he was loved. He just wanted to disappear. But it felt so good. He indulged in the feeling of love. He hated that he wanted to be loved and that he was loved."
"Merlin ignored it heading straight for the Throne Room - straight for Arthur."
