My Merlin Fic Rec Page

I love fanfiction and I've read a lot of it so I figured I would do a fic Rec page.

[thelovelymerlinbbcficrecs]

Hey looking for a Merlin fic on ao3 where Merlin has this waking nightmare that he kills Arthur and betrays Camelot. Ghost Lancelot (aka dream Lancelot who is pretending to be the actual Lancelot from beyond the grave) tells him that the dragon lied to him and his real destiny is to kill Arthur.

Eventually Merlin loses the ability to distinguish between the nightmare and real life. Actual-real-life-Arthur is continuously greeted with Merlin in a kind of sleepwalking state coming into his room at night.

Ive been searching for this fic for like months. Please let me know if you know it!

I don't but I will take a look for ya!!

Hello

I really like your page . It's helped me find lots of lovely fics. So sorry to be a pain but could you please find a fic for me? It's a modern High school au. Merlin has a eating disorder and doesn't eat anything properly , he always throws up and then Arthur finds him about to try drugs with somebody . Merlin is hopelessly in love with Arthur and gwaine(I think) tells Arthur and Arthur goes home and watches porn but it doesn't do anything for him except make him overwhelmed. He tells this to Gwaine bit merlin overhears and tries to kill himself using pills and a bottle of alcohol .He goes to a pharmacy and the girl gave him two separate subscriptions as he wanted two packs but that isn't allowed . Arthur is searching frantically for him when the call comes that a homeless saw some kid throwing up in the park and fainting Also, an old friend of Hunith's killed herself and since then suicide was a taboo topic in their house because it makes her sad .In the end they send him to a hospital and when he comes back, he and Arthur are laying on the same bed and he makes some sort of jokes and Arthur says ,'Could you be any more gay?' and then they get together because even if he doesn't like guys , it's Merlin.

Thank you so much

Sure! Give me a couple days to find it!

Here's a fanfiction I wrote recently that is a Modern!Au / Royal Family AU for Merlin. It's also a song fic - but more that the lyrics inspire the story rather than the fic is a story. Perhaps you could help me get it out there for more people to read. I'm quite proud of it. It's called "Morgana's Song: If I Were A Boy" and can be found on Archive of Our Own. Message me if you need/want the direct link :)

Thank you so much!! I will read this and post about it for sure!! Sorry for the late answer!!
