    Summary

    In which Merlin wakes up and chooses violence, and decides not to rethink that choice.

    Or: Merlin realizes that, if he's going to keep Arthur safe and keep his magic a secret, he will have to get a little bit physical. Arthur has to rethink everything in existence when he's suddenly forced to confront the fact that Merlin can fight, and is in fact, bloody dangerous

    Or: The author randomly thought "Murder Twink Merlin" while re-watching the show, and decided it was his mission in life to make that a tag.

    Summary

    “You’re hurt.”

    “What gave you that impression,” Arthur says as he smiles at another couple, this pair far less egregious than the first. “I’m doing perfectly alright.”

    Merlin snorts. “The next time you lie, my Lord, perhaps try to be more convincing?”

    [Arthur's overcome with a temporary bout of amnesia. He has no idea why Merlin's acting so odd, but knowing him, it can't be good.]

    Summary

    Warm breath brushed against his ear as the man leaned closer. “On your knees, sorcerer,” Arthur's voice said quietly. “And don’t you dare try anything.”

    Merlin’s chest tightened painfully. For a moment he couldn’t breathe.

    “…Arthur,” he whispered hoarsely. The name barely left his lips before he was hauled roughly onto his back. The world spun as Arthur flipped him over, shoving him flat against the forest floor.

    In which Arthur was cursed, and he did terrible things that hurt Merlin.

    Summary

    The first thing Arthur does when he sees Merlin again is kiss him.

    It’s the wrong thing to do, he knows, especially when Merlin is too shocked (or disoriented, maybe) to kiss him back. But what else can Arthur do? He’s watched Merlin for over a millennia from behind a veil.

    He's done watching.

    --

    In which Merlin, after fifteen hundred years of waiting, is ready to give up and Arthur returns to him, prophecy be damned.

     

    Note: suicidal ideation is very vague and brief, but proceed with caution if that is a concern for you
