Summary
Set after the Merlin Series 5 Finale "Diamond of the Day".
Canon Compliant. In Character. Arthur Pendragon Returns.
Cover art by Lao-Pendragon------
For many long years Merlin waited.
For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.
Until one day, suddenly, it did.
When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.
Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, & True Love.

Summary
"Merlin takes to Arthur's return like he's done nothing but wait for it, and it's disturbingly likely he has. He falls back on their old routine with such incredible ease that it's almost easy for Arthur to ignore how unbelievably ancient his eyes are or how brittle his smile is."
Arthur returns to the world, or rather, he returns to Merlin.

Summary
When Merlin first arrives in Camelot, Prince Arthur is away from the citadel. Merlin starts working for Gaius full-time and doesn’t give the Prince or the mad ramblings of a certain dragon any further thought. But destiny always finds a way: Four weeks into Merlin’s apprenticeship, an injured man walks into the infirmary and Merlin, oblivious to the fact it’s the Prince, treats him like a fellow peasant. The two of them strike up a rather unconventional friendship…

Summary
Arthur works in finance, but his real passion is music. He plays his piano every chance he gets, pretending that he is on stage in front of an audience and living his best life as a successful musician, even though that can never become a reality.
Shortly after moving into a new flat, he receives a note under his door requesting he play a specific piece of music. When he complies, Arthur is shocked to hear his neighbour joining in on the music with their violin. Soon enough, Arthur and his mysterious neighbour are routinely playing their strange duets through the walls of their flats.
