Summary
Merlin has been trying to save Arthur for 1,500 years. He gave up hope ages ago that he would rise again. He doesn't even know how or why he's still alive.
But what he didn't suspect was to find the answer in his groceries. Desperate to change the way things ended, Merlin time travels back hastily, and accidentally goes too far, but could this be for the best or will things go horribly wrong because of it?Time-travel fix-it AU where everyone's a little gayer. Will feature a lot of Tumblr(?) inspo I found on Pinterest - I'll drop links as I go.
Updates will (hopefully) be minimum once a month. -

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
Morgana's memory curse is still in place, but Leon's no longer the only person suspicious of her. Gwen's got a mystery to solve and a long-lost brother to deal with. Morgana's determined to get closer to Merlin again to try and find out how long he's been hiding his magic from her. Meanwhile Merlin's just flattered to be receiving a Lady's attention, though with Gwaine coming back into his life, that might not be the only attention he's receiving. And Arthur's struggling his way back through his character growth and what kind of King he wants to be...

Summary
“You’re looking a little green.”
The voice comes from right behind him, and the shout of shock his body intends to make is muffled by a hand clamping down over his mouth. He tries to whirl around to face Arthur, but Arthur’s other hand has a firm grip on his arm, preventing movement.
Arthur learns about the prophecy of the Once and Future King. He has a reaction.

Summary
A series of mysterious fires has been terrorising the small town of Colchester for months now. Uther Pendragon, the incumbent mayor, finds this anything but amusing—especially so close to the town's bi-thousandth anniversary celebrations. Consequently, he has no choice but to call in outside help to restore peace to his beautiful town (and ensure his re-election next year).
Arthur—his son and the chief of the local fire department—is far from thrilled at the prospect of being scrutinised by a conceited big-city inspector. Not that he has anything to hide, mind you; in fact, he feels he has had the situation quite well under control on his own—until another fire nearly costs one of his crew members their life... -

Summary
— Мы с вами уже отработали несколько защит от магического воздействия. Но после недавнего случая с новеньким рыцарем, я понял, что нам потребуется позаботиться о другой важной защите. Нам необходимо выработать у вас способность сопротивляться приворотным зельям и заклинаниям. Мы с Гаюсом узнали из новых книг, что к приворотам можно выработать иммунитет. Именно этим мы и займёмся лично с каждым из вас, чтобы в будущем вы были в безопасности и не смогли бы нанести вред Камелоту.
Пока все рыцари в шоке смотрели на Мерлина, Леон смотрел на Артура, который отличался от разъяренного быка только тем, что не был привязан верёвкой к столбу. Он смотрел в траву, челюсть его была сильно сжата, как и кулаки.
Всё это заставило Леона задать вопрос, который помог бы понять недостающие детали этой картины.
— Мы будем приворожены... к тебе? — как Леон и предполагал, именно после этой фразы ноздри Артура расширились, а на лбу вылезла вена.
Или: Мерлин пытается помочь рыцарям выработать устойчивость к приворотам, пока Артур пытается пережить влюбленных в Мерлина рыцарей. Но очередь дойдет и до него.

Do you love him? by NotoriousJYT

Summary
"Do you love him?”
Queen Ygraine asks the question gently, but Arthur knows better than to mistake gentleness for mercy.
He has come to ask permission to formally court Merlin: son of Balinor, Chief Dragonlord of Albion, and Hunith, Ygraine’s trusted lady-in-waiting. It should be simple. It is not.
Because Merlin is not only the man Arthur loves. He is Dragonkind’s future, Dafyd’s blood, Druid-touched magic, and a sovereignty older than Pendragon law.
In a Camelot where Ygraine survived and magic returned to public life, Albion has rebuilt itself around a fragile peace between Crown, Dragonkind, the Old Religion, and the old threshold kingdoms. But restoration is not the same as healing.
As Arthur and Merlin’s courtship becomes public, Ascetir’s roots begin to stir, Dafyd’s tidal arches hum at the wrong tide, Avalon’s mists remember what Camelot forgot, and old roads bend toward the Forest of Balor and the Great Stones of Nemeton.
Something wounded beneath Albion has begun to ask for witness.
Or: Ygraine lives, Arthur loves Merlin openly, and Albion discovers that love is not weakness, possession, or conquest — but covenant.

Summary
Arthur Pendragon and Merlin Emrys are best friends. They have been since Eton — where one of them arrived at thirteen because all Pendragon men do, and the other arrived at fifteen on a scholarship and never quite stopped being the boy who arrived on a scholarship.
It is Valentine’s Day 2023. Neither of them has a date, obviously. So they are having dinner, as they do, as they always have; and Merlin is going to tell Arthur that he has applied for a job in Cardiff; and he has forty-four days left in which to do it.
Three years. Two cities. One A&E department, one law firm with Arthur’s father’s name on the door, and every secret the Pendragons have ever paid to keep quiet.They both live. They end up together. It takes some doing.

Summary
“Merlin was too driven by grief for his other half that he turned back time, but magic like this always has a price. For Merlin to turn back time he had to give up his memories of that time.”
Or, merlin resets time to the day he enters Camelot and meets Arthur and looses his memories, but everyone and I mean EVERYONE remembers the past timeline
Or, the time travel fix it trope but merlin is the only one who doesn’t know about the past lifetime.
(Ignore that Chapter 4 is actually Chapter 3, i’ll fix it when I get the chance.)

Summary
“Arthur!” Merlin turned to him with a sunshine-y grin that dimpled his cheeks, “can I help you with something?” Arthur realized he should speak now.
“Oh, um, yes. I’m supposed to give you my buy in money and then you’ll give it to your uncle, right?”
“You convinced your father, then?” Merlin asked, his smile returning.
Arthur chuckled and scratched the back of his now slightly warm neck, “Uh, no actually. He doesn’t know I’m doing this.”
Merlin’s eyes flickered down for a second then met his again, “Well, I think that’s great! Um, I’m glad you’re joining us.”

What if Daegal decided to help Merlin by finding Arthur? What if that evil dignitary died instead?Or: Percival has one (1) thought, Morgana and Gwen are complicated, Gaius has a help wanted sign in the window, and Arthur is so glad he knows about at least two plants.

“You must have it the worst,” Daegal added, eyeing him with newfound sympathy. “You’re with him all the time.”
Merlin made a small, noncommittal sound.
“I mean, the hours alone,” Daegal continued. “And the pressure. And the—everything. You’re basically on call 24/7, right?”
“Something like that,” Merlin’s shoulders shook slightly.

Summary
“One of my girls mentioned she saw a new face at the market today. A pretty boy looking for employment. I have a proposition for you, if you want to accompany me inside,” the woman said.
Her voice was warm and her smile almost motherly. It made Merlin ache for the comfort of his home. He looked at her uncertainly. Merlin may have had a sheltered upbringing in his small farming village, but he could imagine what kind of work she had to offer him, and he wasn’t sure he wanted it. Still, he stood up, shaking slightly from hunger and exhaustion. There was something in this woman’s eyes that compelled Merlin to trust her.
