Summary
"I do not need to sleep or eat," he said again.
"But you can sleep, right? A short nap can go a long way. Maybe that's why you get these moods of yours - you're cranky."
"I am not cranky," The Outsider huffed. "And you are getting much too comfortable with teasing me."

Summary
“You’re hurt.”
“What gave you that impression,” Arthur says as he smiles at another couple, this pair far less egregious than the first. “I’m doing perfectly alright.”
Merlin snorts. “The next time you lie, my Lord, perhaps try to be more convincing?”
[Arthur's overcome with a temporary bout of amnesia. He has no idea why Merlin's acting so odd, but knowing him, it can't be good.]

Summary
Warm breath brushed against his ear as the man leaned closer. “On your knees, sorcerer,” Arthur's voice said quietly. “And don’t you dare try anything.”
Merlin’s chest tightened painfully. For a moment he couldn’t breathe.
“…Arthur,” he whispered hoarsely. The name barely left his lips before he was hauled roughly onto his back. The world spun as Arthur flipped him over, shoving him flat against the forest floor.
In which Arthur was cursed, and he did terrible things that hurt Merlin.

Summary
The first thing Arthur does when he sees Merlin again is kiss him.
It’s the wrong thing to do, he knows, especially when Merlin is too shocked (or disoriented, maybe) to kiss him back. But what else can Arthur do? He’s watched Merlin for over a millennia from behind a veil.
He's done watching.
--
In which Merlin, after fifteen hundred years of waiting, is ready to give up and Arthur returns to him, prophecy be damned.
Note: suicidal ideation is very vague and brief, but proceed with caution if that is a concern for you

Summary
Merlin Emrys, 1500 years old, clinical medical examiner, professional hermit, has finally made peace with the fact that Arthur is gone.
He has not made peace with this. He has simply gotten very good at pretending.When Detective Inspector Arthur Pennington walks into his morgue on a Tuesday, looking exactly the same and remembering absolutely nothing, Merlin's carefully constructed equilibrium lasts approximately forty seconds.
There is also a murder. Possibly magic. Definitely a conspiracy. But mostly, this is about a man who has been in love for fifteen centuries trying to hold it together in a pub while Arthur Pendragon sits pressed against his leg and has no idea.
Slow burn. Reincarnation. Heavy on the yearning, light on the sense.
