Genie by hpets
Word Count: 35,413 / Rating: Mature
Summary: What would have happened if Merlin wasn't a warlock, but instead a Genie?
Comment: An altered story-line where events play out similar to canon, except this time Merlin and Arthur meet because Arthur acquires the medallion which holds Merlin, a powerful genie. Whimsycatcher’s art based on this fic.
Everaftering So Happy by Palebluedot
Word Count: 6,081 / Rating: General
Summary: “I haven't left my mind in the lake, Merlin, I already know you're a – ”
“It's not that,” Merlin interrupts. He's started bouncing his leg a bit, toe tapping out a nervous drumbeat on the front step. “It's just that it's – magic is – different now. It's, ah, well – it's not quite as – the thing is – oh, hell, I should probably just show you,” he decides, miserable, and pushes open the door.
Comment: Merlin’s a disney princess and you can fight me on this

Summary: Ygraine has her own life to live now; this life and no one else’s. She holds her memories of her past life, especially memories of her son, at an arm's length. She will not be sacrificing herself this time around.
But of all the figures from the past that she's recognized, there is none quite like Merlin. A man who claims immortality. A man who claims to have known her son a millennium ago, and lived to tell the tale.
She doesn't want to know about her son; it will only make this harder. Yet there is no changing destiny.
Comment: You never really see reincarnation from ‘the older generation’s’ point of view, and there are truly few stories about Ygrain in general. But fear not, the best story ever has just arrived, all about Ygraine trying to defeat destiny and Merlin coping with being immortal (and yet still kickin’ ass, as he should.) An emotional roller-coaster of a fic, that I truly truly truly recommend everyone read.
Come Soon by Malu_3 (Grainne)
Word Count: 3,803 / Rating: Teens and Up
Summary: Merlin doesn't know what it is this season, but something's been calling to him, itching under his skin and scales, urging him to stay in these waters.
Comment: Written for the Remembering Texasfandoodler (inspired by Tex’s art: Come Away With Me) Miss ya, Tex.
Try + The immortal from Invincible
SEND TRY + A CHARACTER YOU’D LIKE TO SEE ME ( ATTEMPT ) TO WRITE !
Immortal tilted his head as he looked at the orb, slowly he approached it, he’d never seen anything quite like this before, it practically glowed, curiosity got the betetr of him and his hand reached out to touch it only for it to reach back, he let out a cry of pain as he felt the energy of the anomaly surge through him, throwing him backwards onto the floor and making him, immortal.
Uncle Merlin by platonic_boner
Word Count: 1,845 / Rating: General
Summary: Merlin's life after Arthur's death. (Also, Gwen has a baby.)
Comment: Gen (no slash). After Arthur’s death at Camlann, Gwen gives birth to Arthur’s child. I like the idea that even after Camelot is gone, Merlin takes care of Arthur’s descendants.
An Emptiness in Me by elless
Word Count: 17,845 / Rating: Mature
Summary: Merlin’s been waiting for Arthur’s return for a thousand years but when it finally happens, it’s not anything like what he expected.
Comment: Instead of coming out of the lake, Arthur is reborn (and this one has a whole new life, with different friends, family, and not a bit of memory of his old life).
