Summary
Arthur and his men all sucked in a breath when they saw the cage. It was pure iron, and inside was a man. Well a young one. He couldn’t have been quite twenty years.
His blue eyes were wet with tears and the rest of him were just wounds and bruises. His wrists were clearly raw and torn up under the shackles.
The boy didn’t speak but he did whine and try to cover his eyes. The whining increased when the iron hit his face.
~~~
What if everyone knew Merlin was already a warlock when they met him? What if Magic wasn’t completely illegal in Camelot? And what if uther isn’t as bad as he was in the show?
Merlin is running from something and is captured by a poacher before being saved by Arthur and the knights. When he’s taken to Camelot uther gives him to Arthur as his private sorcerer but Merlin knows little of what that entails.
In this fic we take canon and throw it out the window for a fun slowburn merthur fic.Only posted on a03

Summary
“I lost him,” Merlin says quietly, and bows his head as the tears prickle annoyingly at his lashes. One of them drops into his stew; it ripples for a moment, and he stares at the dish. He isn’t hungry, really.
“He would have wanted for you to be happy,” Gaius says, his voice kind and low. Merlin feels as though he’s a wounded animal, hiding away in the corner and shying away from all hands that want to help him—he can’t be helped. Lancelot was his friend, and Merlin couldn’t lose him, but he did.
Or: Lancelot walks through the veil and towards his death. So everyone thinks, at least, until Merlin finds him trapped in the world between life and death. And there's very little Merlin won't do to get him back.

Summary
Arthur was Merlin’s soulmate. His name was written along his left wrist in flowing manuscript, shining golden like when his hair caught the sun just so.
Merlin was not Arthur’s soulmate. He knew this as certainly as he knew that the grass was green and his eyes were blue.
Except… sometimes, when it hadn’t rained for a long while, the grass turned yellow. And sometimes Merlin’s eyes glowed gold. But still, Merlin is certain.
Until he’s not.

Summary
“Elena put you up to this, didn’t she?”
Spots of colour appeared on Leon’s cheeks, and he grimaced as he brandished his mobile. “It was this, or set you up on a date with her elderly cousin Grunhilda.”
“Give me the mobile, Leon. I’ll make an account.”***
Arthur is tired of people only wanting to date him for his money. After his latest break-up, about which he isn't very broken up at all, he decides dating just isn't for him. But his best friends at least want him to talk to other humans outside the office, and they get him into a fandom space on Discord.Sometimes what you don't even know you're looking for ends up right in front of you.
