Summary
As a gift for King Arthur's selfless show of humility, the clan's Seer sought him out personally. Merlin had to shut his mouth halfway through explaining the dangers of knowing your own fate before it happens—at the very least, he let it be known that whatever Arthur does see is not the only outcome. For fear of sounding rude or ungrateful, Merlin left it at that and Arthur took her hand and disappeared into the tent without a second thought.
Arthur emerges as a changed man—someone Merlin hardly recognizes anymore.

Summary
“Well, I’ll be damned!” The old man crowed and tugged Merlin closer “How have you not seen it, Uther? The resemblance is uncanny!” He beamed, ruffling the servant’s hair “Sorry, son. You look like an old friend of ours. Good ole’ Balinor. A member of court before Uther chased him away.” The man snorted and Arthur’s gaze jerked up.
“Balinor?” He asked sharply and turned where his father was taking a sip of his wine “The dragonlord?”
OR
An old friend of Uther’s drops by and notices Merlin looks familiar. Arthur remembers Merlin’s reaction to Balinor’s death and puts the pieces together.

Summary
It’s been three months since Arthur’s death.
The kingdom tries to move on, but Merlin… he’s still stuck on the day he held Arthur in his arms, unable to accept that he’s lost him forever.
His pain comes to an end when one day, unexpectedly, Arthur comes back from the waters of Avalon.
Trying to solve the mystery of this sudden return, Arthur and Merlin keep protecting the kingdom from the dangers that still threaten it, like the Saxons, whose new leader is ready to conquer the throne on Morgana’s name. It seems like nothing has changed, but everything has: the secret that Merlin was so afraid to reveal to Arthur ends up bringing them even closer to each other. In a Camelot where magic is no longer banned, in a new world where he can be by Arthur’s side without hiding who he is, Merlin finds himself living a dream with the fear of waking up, happy for Arthur’s return but also terrified by the idea of losing him again.
Now that secrets between them are over, Arthur finds out Merlin has done so much more than hide his magic: to protect him he's suffered, sacrificed everything, made difficult choices. He begins to know a side of Merlin that’s new to him, and yet, that somehow he’s always known… and loved. -

Summary
A hand grasped his arm, sending a brief thrill down Merlin's nerves as he was forced around to face the person behind him. Armour gleamed in the firelight: supple chainmail glinted, and the solid iron of a pauldron curved lovingly over one broad shoulder. The length of a sword blade separated them. The point hovered, steady and sure, over Merlin's heart, braced to run him through, but he did not care about any of that. He was too busy drinking in the sight of the man before him.
He could never forget him, no matter how many centuries had passed.
'Arthur?'
When Merlin ultimately fails in his destiny, the fading remnants of magic that linger in the modern world fling him not just back in time, but sideways as well. He ends up in a Camelot where all his friends are alive, well and aware of his magic.
He ends up in a Camelot where his alternate self died almost a year ago.
Can he, Arthur and their friends still forge the golden age he was once promised, or will grief and suspicion tear them apart?
