Summary
Merlin follows Arthur on his quest to the Perilous lands, returning not just with his friend alive and well but also a new kingdom. Magic has lost so much from the purge and the years after and the first rule of magic is that there must be balance, so it gives back. Creating the Kingdom of Oplaria, rled by King Emrys.
But Merlin is not so keen to abandon his destiny and Arthur, he spends his time between the two Kingdoms constantly torn between his friendship with Arthur and his duty to his people and magic. He is good at secret identities after all.
But with Arthur constantly sidelining Merlin how long can he make excuses to stay?
And how much will this change not only the Prophecy but also the future of Albion?This is follows the show from Season 3 episode 8 -> Season 4 episode 7 but will include storylines from other episodes.
If like me you loved all the side characters well then get ready to get a lot more time with them (especially if you love Mithian, Elena and Vivian).

Wake Me Up When You’re Reincarnated (when I'm wiser and I'm older) by unrealisticdreamer101
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
12 Dec 2025

Summary
Arthur died. Merlin didn’t. (
Unfortunately).Fifteen centuries later, Merlin’s still alive—older, grumpier, and done with humanity. Then Arthur returns, reborn as a rich, distractible golden retriever of a man. His enemies? Reincarnated too. Arthur’s memory? Gone.
Kings are out, influencers are in. So Merlin becomes a kid (long story), grows up with Arthur (longer story), and ends up his manager (don’t ask).
Reincarnation, reluctant friendship (maybe romance, very salacious), and one exhausted wizard trying to stop destiny from falling apart—again.
Includes some of Merlin's life before Arthur's return because history and travelling to other countries in history is really fun to write.
Come for pretty(?) work skin :), stay for the plot.
I update when I update :)
SPOILER:The romance only starts after Arthur's memories return.

Summary
Merlin saved Camelot with his magic—but the display was terrifying enough to turn even his closest friends away. Now, the people who once cared for him look at him with nothing but fear. He’s been replaced in Arthur’s and the queen’s chambers, scorned in the streets, and pushed out from every last one of his roles.
He drifts through the castle like a ghost, watching Arthur slowly restore magic to the kingdom—without him.
He tells himself it’s enough. That it has to be enough.
Then a visiting kingdom arrives—openly magical, warm, and welcoming. For the first time in what feels like an eternity, Merlin is seen, valued, liked.
He stayed for the promise of Albion. But maybe Albion has come—and Merlin simply isn’t part of it.

Summary
A hunt gone sideways nearly claims Gwaine’s life, and without Merlin’s intervention, it would have. But in saving him, Merlin reveals the one secret he’s always kept, his magic. He expected Arthur to be angry and betrayed. He never expected the ferocity of his king’s rage.
Given a final warning—run, or face the pyre—Merlin disappears.
Haunted and heartbroken, he wanders the kingdoms, performing miracles with magic he no longer trusts. In Camelot, Arthur is left to reckon with the weight of his choices, while whispers spread of what, or who, he drove away.
Years later, rumors tell of a nameless healer who never asks for thanks and never shows his face. Arthur can’t let him slip away again.
But Merlin believes he is being hunted, not forgiven.

carved my name wrong on that gravestone (you don't even know my date of birth) by deniigiq

Summary
“Arthur, listen to me,” Merlin says suddenly in a tone so gentle that Arthur forgets what he was about to say right then and there.
“I’m—I’m listening,” he says.
Merlin lifts his head from his nest of arms and passes a thumb over the scab forming in the very center of his lower lip.
“I fucking hate you,” he says.
(Arthur accidentally reveals Merlin's magic to the world, then accidentally bonds them together before he's king, thereby throwing their prophecy way off course. He tries to make it up to Merlin by making a place for him in Camelot, but that proves to be far more complicated than he can manage on his own. Meanwhile, Merlin finds a smartphone in a wishing well and tries to electrocute a paramedic.)

"Aha! So it is a cow." Arthur pointed victoriously at the goat, who looked at Merlin and blinked, almost disbelievingly, as if to say, This is the guy you've been hammering on about for 2 days??
Merlin shrugged helplessly at it.
"Moo..." said the goat.
