Summary
Being the face of a new haute-couture men's line wasn't on Merlin's bucket list when he started modelling to pay for uni, but he's excited about it. Or he would be, if the photographer hadn't acted like such a wanker. (Too bad he's hot.)
~*~*~
Arthur loves being a photographer, but he hates everyone only using him to make them famous. At least he's got his friends around him ... and an annoying new up-and-coming model who happens to be just his type.
~*~*~
Sometimes, you find art where you least expect it.

Sequal to Until I met you
In a modern AU, Merlin and Arthur are reincarnated without memories of their past lives. Merlin struggles with a drug addiction, a coping mechanism for the trauma that follows him from his previous existence. Meanwhile, Arthur, unaware of their shared history, is navigating his own challenges as he confronts the complexities of adulthood. As their paths cross, the tension between them ignites unresolved feelings and a connection that feels both familiar and confusing. Together, they must face their demons, uncover the truths of their past, and ultimately find a way to heal and redefine their relationship in this new life.Series

Summary
“I…” Words died on Arthur’s tongue as she took in the warlock before her, the overwhelming sense of relief upon seeing her for the first time in a week. Tears rose in her eyes, a lump burning in the back of her throat, and she closed her mouth and wordlessly held her arms out to the other girl. A flash of relief danced across Merlin’s face, and within seconds, Merlin had swept across the room and pulled Arthur into her arms. “Merlin,” Arthur whispered with a crack of her voice, clinging to Merlin like a lifeline and burying her face into her shoulder.
“Shhh,” Merlin soothed, running a hand up Arthur’s back. Her grip was warm, firm, and gentle at the same time with an overwhelming perfume of flowers. “I’m here, I’m so sorry–”
“Don’t,” Arthur croaked, tightening her grip on Merlin’s waist. “Please don’t apologize, Merlin. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. It wasn’t your fault.”

Summary
“We lived together before and we both survived, didn’t we?” Arthur doesn't take the bait.
“Barely,” Merlin answers, picturing their uni days. The first taste of living with anyone other than his mother or sleepovers with Will. It all made for strange, dreamlike memories, for all that it has only been a few years past.
He feels like a very old twenty five most times. He shouldn’t be this age and so tired.

As the stars begin to twinkle in the velvety night sky, Merlin allows the darkness to swallow him whole. He blows out the candle beside him, its flickering flame extinguished, casting the room into shadows. With a sigh of contentment, he lays his head down on his pillow, nestled next to Pip, who is cozily wrapped in a blanket; with a small piece of red fabric tied around the bird's little neck.

Summary
"Two coffees and a blueberry muffin, please."
The blue man had just asked him for coffees and a pastry. A blueberry muffin, actually, which felt like a joke, but didn't seem to be. He was standing at the counter of Arthur's café, phone in one hand, a pleasant smile on his face, ordering a muffin, and he was blue.
"Name?" he asked, proud that his voice was mostly even.
"Merlin," said the blue man. Because of course it was.
A blue man comes into Arthur's café one day. He is baffled, then annoyed, then, unfortunately, infatuated.

Summary
It starts like this: two idiots dancing to Common People in the living room of Leon’s shared house. Merlin and Arthur flinging their limbs about wildly and laughing as if they had not a care in the world, as if they couldn’t care less that people are watching.
Later, all that Arthur can ever recall of the night is that one moment – dancing with Merlin and feeling freer than he ever had before in his life.

Summary
Merlin has been waiting centuries for the return of his King, but he’s getting restless. What’s a better way to spend his time than painting Camelot and its people? The only thing is: Merlin can’t seem to remember anyone’s faces. A few surprise reincarnations might be able to help him with that.
(AKA The Knights Return and Merlin is having his scheduled mental breakdown of the century. Also, where the fuck is Arthur???)
