The world is so big. The world is so big. So big. So full of light. And yet we still feel alone. We watch others, lovers. And write about it. Even when we can barely see the keys we always type on through our tears.

When Arthur wakes up in the middle of the night thinking he heard a scream in the distance, he gets up to go investigate in the dead of night when the rest of Camelot is asleep. To his surprise he runs into Merlin, literally, and he brings his servant back to his room so they can talk in private. There Merlin admits he had a nightmare and what followed next surprised them both.

As Merlin takes a detour from his usual route as a nomad in a modern world, he stands in front of Arthur's final resting place as emotions and feelings from the past threat to overcome him. Saying his affectionate teasing nickname he often called his best friend, he couldn't help but feel Arthur's presence.

Usually when it came time for lights out, Merlin would go back to his chambers and go to bed after a hard day of work. But his Master and Best Friend, King Arthur, wouldn't yield to sleep. After nagging him, Arthur finally caves in and goes to bed but asks him to stay by his side until he fell asleep. Showcasing a side Merlin had never seen before. A Platonic Merthur story.

He could have prevented it. He should have prevented it. So he would wait, and make sure it didn't happen again.

Part2 of L&D. Love will give him a reason to go on, but they must never find it out. He'll play the act, keep it hidden, be a marble statue of indifference even towards those he loves, especially towards those he cares about. His enemies will never see that a rock is able to love. He'll lose his friends, but this will keep them safe.

Merlin quits as Arthurs servant because he feels he is failing in his destiny. When Arthur threatens to banish it also enforces his decision to leave Arthurs service. How will Everyone cope with the rift between the king and his best friend? Set in season4! When Gaius Was kidnapped.

Okay, it's not really a bedtime story. Morgana has poisoned Merlin and she decides to stay a bit longer to enjoy his pain. She stays much longer than she was supposed to.

"He refuses to believe me. Says I'm joking and that I'd better quit before I lose my head." Oneshot

After Gwaine's period of near-starvation during Morgana's brief rule of Camelot, he pushes himself too hard and takes longer to recover than anyone expects. Whump.

Set in The Diamond of the Day Part 2. Arthur dies, but Merlin uses the power over life and death to resurrect Arthur. Has he gone too far? Powerful!Merlin.

Arthur's never trusted magic, so no matter how great Gwaine thinks this friend is, he's not going to accept help from a sorcerer so easily. Au in which Merlin doesn't quite end up at Camelot the first time around but still ends up saving Arthur from magical beasts.

Every scar tell a story - now if only Arthur could get Merlin to tell him his. One shot. Warning : mentions of capture and torture

Why does Morgana fight? She turned and she started digging for rock bottom, but why?

Merlin was excited for camp. He was up until Professor Geoffrey started to announce the partners for tents. "Next, we have Arthur Pendragon and Merlin Emrys." Well, camp's going to suck. (Merthur, Camping/High School AU, Fluff)

what if Merlin was already known as a warlock/Emrys and was sentenced to be controlled by magic inhibitor cuffs? And how will Merlin deal with having to become Arthur's manservant?

When Guinevere and her brother move to New York following the death of her father, she encounters friends, foes, and a certain blonde haired boy that she has a certain hatred for. Yet it seemed that the two are fated together, what will be outcome be, and what will they discover about their past? Rated M for later chapters.
