    Summary

    “I’m the king,” Arthur says grumpily, swallowing around the stone that has settled in his throat, “I can wear what I want.”

    “What about what I want?”

    “I’m the king,” Arthur repeats slowly, since Merlin is being particularly thick, “and so you can also wear what I want.”

    Or, Arthur dresses Merlin, which goes about as well as you would expect.

    Summary


    No one understands Arthur and Merlin's relationship, least of all Arthur and Merlin. Limping home after Camlann they have time to figure it out.

    Now if only people would stop trying to give Merlin a promotion.

    Summary

    “Merlin, what is in your hair?” Gaius asks - rather judgmentally, Merlin thinks. It’s not as though Gaius can turn into a bird, making his opinion irrelevant. Everyone’s opinions shall now be irrelevant to him unless they can turn into birds, he decides. He puts a hand to his hair and feels a leaf.

    (So this is a very canon-inaccurate sort of re-telling, with some big divergences, minus a dragon or prophecy or two)

    Summary

    It’s a daily battle, reigning in his magic.

    But there is something wrong with his magic and there is something wrong with Merlin.

    As Merlin finishes working the buckles on Arthur’s armor, he feels a creaking in his bones.

    The moment Balinor’s pulse finally stilled on the forest floor, Merlin’s magic changed. No longer is his magic a flower waiting to bloom in his cupped palms, it’s an animal backed into a corner waiting to sink its teeth into the ones who put it there. The mutt at his feet has lost its patience.

    There’s a flint being struck under his skin, generating sparks, seeking dry brush to ignite and swallow in flame.

    Merlin is terrified.

    He isn’t a seer, never mastered the art of scrying, but even he knows something is looming over the horizon.

    or Merlin’s Dragonlord powers let him shift into a dragon, things go to shit, and then there are more dragons.

    Summary

    Commander Arthur Pendragon leads the mission to Jupiter to establish a nascent colony in orbit around the gas giant. But once they arrive, a series of inexplicable accidents lead to EVA Specialist Merlin Emrys' death, and Arthur spirals into grief and guilt, jeopardizing the whole mission.

    Merlin, however, is not dead, but rather abducted by the draconic derkesthai aliens, who force him into changes both physical and mental. They want to send a message to humanity, and Merlin is to be the messenger. Unless he refuses to obey...
