Summary
Merlin has lived for about 1500 years. And suddenly he is transported back in time. Back to his family. Back to his friends. And most importantly, back to Arthur. But now his bed is made out of straw, the food is so much worse than he remembered, no-one understands his references, Arthur is honestly a bit (very) annoying at this age and then there is Merlins immortal bestie Leon who definitely does not remember the last 1500 years of being friends with Merlin.

Summary
“Merlin,” Arthur said, catching the servant as he returned from whatever useless errand he’d been pretending to attend to, “have you noticed people are rhyming?”
Merlin blinked at him, then tilted his head with theatrical puzzlement. “Rhyming? Not that I’ve heard. That would be absurd.”
Arthur stared. “You just did it.”
“Did what?” Merlin asked, his face the perfect picture of blank idiocy.
“That—that thing,” Arthur spluttered. “You just rhymed ‘heard’ and ‘absurd’.”
“Did I?” Merlin scratched his ear. “Are you sure you’ve got the right… word?”
Arthur’s eye twitched.
Or: what if Merlin’s “I'm teaching him some poetry” lie in Season 5, Episode 3 spiralled into a full-blown cultural movement featuring knights training in iambic pentameter, laws being written in verse, and a king begging his manservant to please just speak normally?

Summary
It was Merlin’s job to wash Arthur’s clothes, not ruin them. Now Arthur’s best trousers go halfway up his thighs, and Merlin is forced to prove they shrunk by wearing them himself. They fit. Too well. Arthur makes sure Merlin knows it. And Gwaine is incredibly helpful about it, as always.

In which Merlin gets sloppy and one by one the knights of the roundtable all discover their favorite servant is a sorcerer. Or, I wanted a Merlin fic that was goofy and mostly about the Knights.
So I wrote it.
(I'm attempting to write 6 chapters, but no promises) -

Summary
When Hunith sent Merlin to Camelot, it was less about people in Ealdor growing suspicious, and more about people from outside of Ealdor trying to find Merlin... what happens when a diplomatic mission reunites Merlin from a figure from his past?

Summary
When Merlin barges into the council chamber to declare himself a sorcerer and save Gwen from execution, no one believes him. So he does magic, obviously. Now, he needs to fulfill his gods-be-damned destiny while roughing it in the woods.
What follows is a mess of treason, underground sorcerer societies in the heart of Camelot, DIY home construction, faeries, talking Griphons, and all the joy I think the characters deserved just for existing. And some angst. Just a little bit.
Splits from season 1 episode 3 of the series ("The Mark of Nimweh")
***
Merlin had to admit, being shackled to a wall did help one stay awake. He wondered if it was late enough for him to break out yet; being imprisoned was boring, and his wrists were getting really sore. Watching a pyre be built wasn’t particularly entertaining, unless one enjoyed contemplating their own death in the single most painful way imaginable. Merlin may have had every intention of escaping and none of dying, but the sight still made his stomach go cold.
Merlin slipped out of the shackles and stretched his wrists, wincing, before putting them back on in a clattering panic when he heard footsteps down the hall.

Summary
No one understands what’s going on. Arthur is severely confused, as are the knights. Gaius is realising exactly where his ward has been going, though he’s fully aware that the courting rumours cannot be true. As for everyone else, well they’re just stunned. A servant is laughing his arse off as the king himself tries to threaten him.
Or
One small mishap leads to Merlin ending up in Morgana's chambers...where she sews up his trouser leg and they rant about Arthur. This starts to become a thing for them, every night he makes his way to her room so they can talk. However, no one knows that is what they're actually doing.
Soon rumours start to flow in the citadel, not that Merlin or Morgana are aware. Next thing you know, Uther finds out that his ward is courting with a servant. Once he finds out he fills with rage, but he doesn't understand what's so funny.
