Summary
Merlin has been alive for a very long time.
He is not losing it... But he is on a very meditative journey to become one with a blade of grass when he suddenly wakes up in the sixth century, surrounded by friends he only sort of remembers and a king who isn't a king yet.
In other words: My version of a Merlin travels back fix it fic starting in the missing year between seasons 3 and 4.
Will add more tags as they become relevant!

Summary
"I'm not sure what I'd have done."
"And I didn't want to put you in that position.”For better or for worse, Arthur knows Merlin's secret. The problem? Merlin doesn't know Arthur knows. This leaves Arthur with a predicament... and an opportunity. A test. Three trials and three opportunities for Merlin to prove he doesn't deserve death. Arthur hopes he will pass them. Maybe then the image of Merlin's golden eyes will stop haunting him.
Merlin opened his mouth. A noise unlike any sound Arthur had ever heard escaped from it. Loud and rumbling and guttural, inhuman, and in no way, shape, or form could actually be coming from his manservant.
But it was. And Merlin was speaking.
"O drakon, e male so ftengometta tesd'hup'anankes! Erkheo!"
For a minute, there was complete silence—a silence in which Arthur just stared from behind a tree in an incomprehensive daze.
But then there was a sound. Both loud and forceful and... familiar.
The sound of flapping wings.
AKA an in-depth character study of Arthur. I do not endorse Arthur's actions, but this is what I think he'd do in canon. This was my season 3 prediction!

Summary
It was then that Merlin heard a laugh. Chills prickled down his spine, and his heart stopped. It actually stopped in his chest – or skipped a beat... or five – because he felt it stutter back to life and pound like charging horses at the sound, because he knew that laugh. He knew it like he knew the gentle squeeze of Gaius’s hand on his shoulder, the loving press of his mother’s lips to his brow, and the ever-present whisper of magic along his fingertips.
When Arthur is killed during a run-of-the-mill bandit attack, Camelot crumbles beneath a permanent mire of spitting rain and fog. They call it: The Grey. It's everything Merlin can do to keep his head above water... until he awakens one day to find the sun shining. As if it had never left at all.
A tale of loss, supernatural meddling, time travel, hidden identities, crazy twists, and love.

Summary
Matt’s most life-changing moments have always been made up of helplessness.
It’s become ingrained in him, shaped him, molded him, and Matt will do anything in his power to never feel that sense of helplessness again. To make sure no one else ever does either. Even if fighting against that feeling of helplessness, is what will destroy him in the end.

Summary
Red’s hands were firm in their hold of his face, a fact Frank didn’t really process until Red clamped his palms down, forcing their mouths apart by a few inches. Frank ran his tongue along his own lip, more out of breath now than he had been at the scene of his massacre, and waited for the yelling to continue. Waited for Red to deck him square in the jaw - he wouldn’t stop him if he tried. He waited for a judgment that didn’t come.
“Who’d you think was in the bag?” Red asked, the words spoken almost directly into Frank’s mouth.

Summary
Something warm and solid and heavy presses up against the side of Foggy’s skull - the red-faced man’s gun. The tiniest whimper escapes Foggy and he wonders if Matt can even hear anything over the sound of Foggy’s skittering heartbeat. Matt schools his face into something resembling neutral, but he’s obviously wound tight enough to snap at any second. “The fun part,” the man with the trigger continues, “is that we’re going to let you choose. Your friend, or your city.”

Summary
“How’s this,” Foggy finally says. “When you think you’re healed up enough to go out again, you let me know so I can stay at your place that night.”
Matt opens his mouth to respond, then closes it again, considering. “Won’t that be the least restful time to crash at my apartment?”
“Objectively yes,” Foggy agrees. “But you’re missing the tradeoff: every night that I sleep at home before then, I’ll do it knowing that you’re not out getting your ass kicked.”
Matt and Foggy establish a new routine. It involves a lot of crashing on Matt's couch.

Summary
“Well, I have to say. This was much easier than I expected. And I didn’t even have high expectations.”
Kate spun around, ignoring how the concrete scraped at her skin even though the costume, preparing to shoot before she froze instead. Clint was on his knees barely three feet from her, Madame Masque’s gun pressed against his temple. He wasn’t looking at Masque, though. He was looking at her. At her arrow. “You have the shot.”
-----------------------------------
Just as a mission gone wrong shakes Kate's confidence, Clint's old mentor comes into town in search of a mysterious tape. Now it's up to Kate to rescue her partner before the clock runs out.Series
