aliunde_recsPhantom Touch (Art) by Sunfall_of_Ennien
Rating: General Audiences
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Summary: As the day of Arthur’s long-awaited return nears, Merlin feels it. And gradually, feels Him. A phantom touch, cold at first. But as the days lengthen towards the summer solstice, the ghostly presence grows warmer, more solid. "I'll wait," he whispers. "Forever, if I have to. But don't take forever, clotpole. Come back to me. Come soon." And Merlin blushes as he feels those fingers caress his cheek. Soon, he knows. Soon.

Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Summary: “Well, we’ll just have to convince Arthur that’s not so bad, then,” Gwaine resolves. “I’m sure he can let you be a little magic, sometimes. On special occasions.”
Or, Gwaine comes back from a mission to find Camelot in chaos. He's got to fix everything by himself, as usual.

Rating: Teen+
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur, Gwaine & Merlin
Summary: Merlin does everything more gently that night—he undresses Arthur slowly, holds his armour more carefully, takes his boots off himself—as if Arthur is going to break any moment.

Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Summary: One hot summer day and an ill-advised kiss leave Arthur with an incomplete soul bond, panic about all his secrets coming to light, and the question of why Merlin is so afraid of Uther. Actually, scratch that—why is Merlin afraid of him?

The Oldest Fairytale (4,372 Words) by BeautifulFiction
Rating: General Audiences
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Summary: 'What have you done?'
'Please.' She shifted, prowling around them both. 'You know this story. A youth locked in an eternal sleep, waiting for the one thing that will stir them to the waking world once more. It's a tale almost as old as the world itself.'
Merlin closed his eyes, blowing out a breath as he pinched the bridge of his nose. 'True love's kiss? Are you joking?'
and for you i would wait until the earth sinks beneath the sea (even if we never are to be) (5,616 Words) by stolenstars
Rating: Teen+
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Summary: So Merlin does the only thing he can – he stays. Stays, and loves his golden prince from afar with a ferocity that scares him more than the flames ever could. Protects his soulmate with his magic, his body, his life – giving, giving, giving to the man who could never give Merlin his heart in return – to the man that was never Merlin’s to keep.
He tells himself that being his servant is enough. That loving Arthur from afar is enough. Will be enough.
After all, Merlin is nothing but a fantastic liar.
