The domestic life of Merlin and Arthur (2/∞) Somebody shouldn’t have said making camp is like having a sleepover because this is… not wrong.

Summary: When a noble visits Camelot with her servant-turned-lover, Merlin thinks he and Arthur may actually have a chance. But when Arthur uses the visit as inspiration to instead court Gwen, Merlin develops a tickle in his throat. Then a cough. Then flower petals.

Beltane is a time for celebrating new life and new births, but Merlin will be lucky to survive until the festival, since the only cure for Hanahaki is to have one’s love returned…and Arthur doesn’t love him.

Comment: This story is magnificent. Super creative, well written and it has an incredible interesting plot- although a bit predictable. Still, highly recommended.

Summary: When Merlin Emrys is sent on a 'round-the-world assignment, he begins remembering a life of magic, dragons, and kings. To make matters worse, a strange woman starts stalking him along the way. And that's before he even meets Arthur Pendragon, whose answer to climate change is going to save the world. Because apparently just saving Britain won't be enough this time around

Comment: I always started  reading this story and then I dropped it for something else with a more catching summary, but I regret doing it now. It's a really good story, I love Merlin in this story, truly love him and I enjoy Morgana a great as well.

Summary: Merlin is alright. He would know, Merlin had said, he would know, just as Merlin would know if something happened to him. He presses his hand to his heart, against the tattoo hidden under his clothes, hoping for some sort of comfort.

Comment:  It's a really sweet story that is a little domestic and it gives a hint to a bigger universe. I still really enjoyed it.

Summary: 27-year-old Alpha Prince Arthur has been married off to 16-year-old Druid Prince Merlin to unite their kingdoms.

Meeting for the first time at dawn to be handfasted by the customs of Merlin’s druid people - and expected to mate that night by the customs of Arthur's wolf-people - neither prince is best pleased by the situation. Tomorrow they will belong to each other in body and soul.

Turns out, married life's not so bad ...

Comment: This fic makes me happy and that is the best thing a fic can do.
