    Summary

    "Merlin leaned back in his chair, watching the future founders of what would one day be the greatest magical school in the world, argue about staircases."

    -----

    A series of loosely connected one-shots following Merlin during the chaotic early days of Hogwarts, back when the castle was still being built, the founders were in their twenties, and absolutely none of them were responsible enough to be running a school.

    Includes: magical accidents, chaotic founder friendships, questionable castle design choices, and Merlin wondering (daily) how exactly he ended up babysitting four extremely powerful witches and wizards.

    Part of the Merlin at Hogwarts series.

    Summary

    It was supposed to be a nice break from the monotony of the castle. Instead, Arthur woke up trapped in a tiny cell with a worryingly unconscious manservant. Cue Arthur stressing and Merlin waking just in time to fight their way free. But will Merlin look at Arthur the same way after what he did to get them free? What's the difference between self defense and murder?

    Based on the prompt:
    “Well, this is a nice change of scenery.”
    “It’s a prison cell.”
    “I was being sarcastic.”

    Summary

    "It's not that I don't trust you," he muttered, holding an engraved metal disk, "but the last time I touched a royal artifact, I found myself speaking fluent Latin for three days."

    On the bed, Arthur watched him with a mixture of curiosity and amusement.
    "At least this time your hand won't burn."

    "Give it time."

    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

    Time, like everything else is a construct, made up of principles, foundations, and rules. An intangible, yet factual creation of the God's, woven into the fabrics of society in every universe. And like everything, and everyone, it also breaks. When Merlin causes the end of the world, he must venture back in time and work with his past self and once close friends, now sworn enemies, to make things right; and stop the apocalypse before it destroys everyone, and everything.
    --------
    "What if I'm tired of fighting for a world that will never change?" Merlin questions.

    "It's never going to change if you don't change it," Emrys replies.

    Summary

    The other Faeries think he's funny looking, what with no wings and his bare skin. Weak. Plain. Emrys thinks the sun-haired one is rather intriguing. Fascinating, in fact. Perhaps a tad funny looking, but it's not the boy's fault he was born a Human. There's also a sense of familiarity about him too. Danger, but familiarity. One cannot simply forget locks as golden as his. And Emrys has seen them somewhere before... he's certain of it.
