    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.

    (Set after Season 4)
