Summary
It's been centuries since the Once and Future King left the world, in his arms. Merlin has done nothing but wait for his return, but he’s getting restless. What’s a better way to spend his time than painting Camelot and its people? The only thing is: Merlin can’t seem to remember anyone’s faces. A few surprise reincarnations might be able to help him with that.
(AKA The Knights Return and Merlin is having his scheduled mental breakdown of the century. Also, where is Arthur Pendragon?)

Summary
The boy who arrived with the new royal physician was thin. That was the first thing people noticed.
Seventeen years old, all sharp cheekbones and too-old eyes, Merlin walked into Camelot with nothing but a polite smile and a past he'd learned to bury deep. To the castle, he's Gaius's eager apprentice—clumsy, cheerful, quick with a joke. To Arthur, he's an annoyance who somehow keeps saving his life. To himself, he's just... surviving, somehow.
But survival leaves marks. Flinches you can't quite hide. Nightmares you can't outrun. Scars you cover with layers and laughter and lies.
--------------
A multi-season story about trauma, healing, and learning that being seen doesn't have to hurt.

Summary
Merlin has been especially irritable since Freya's death and finds the perfect outlet in seeing how he can annoy Arthur by teasing him about his weight and how much the prince eats. But it turns out that Arthur Pendragon is much more susceptible to his servant's opinion than he imagines. And so an eating disorder is born. A modern disease that no one understands and that, to Merlin's despair, may prevent Albion's destiny from never being fulfilled.
