    Summary

    “I’m leaving.” Merlin says, because this situation already cost him his Duolingo streak, and he’s too tired to deal with Arthur when the food Gaius is serving him looks like it belongs on a list of war crimes committed by the Canadian soldiers.

    “Where to?” His mentor asks, and Merlin shrugs, before going to his room and packing his bag.

    “India. Gaius, I have decided I don’t give a damn, especially not when having to eat that bland food. I’ll be back in three months, make sure Arthur doesn’t die when I’m out.”

    “Merlin!” And maybe, if he was younger and didn’t travel back to the past last month, he would’ve actually cared about the ‘eyebrow of disapproval’.

     

    Or, a 1500yo Merlin gets zapped to the past during his vacation to Cuba. You’d think he’s happy to see Arthur again. He’s not.

    Summary

    Escaping Morgana's most recent attempt to end Arthur has the unfortunate result of everyone forgetting that Merlin ever existed. Now alone, Merlin continues to work towards the goal of peaceful magical integration, but he also has to work to find his place again amongst the knights and Arthur. If he's not just Arthur's bumbling servant, is there a chance they could be something more than friends? Or has Fate already written them as a tragedy that can't be avoided? And why won't this stupid fumorroh in his neck die already?

    It's not an easy life to be a child of Fate's control. Will Merlin be able to save them or will he bring them all to ruin?

    Summary

    “Where did you learn to do that?” Gwaine asked, following Merlin up the bank.
     
    “This is how normal people fish,” Merlin replied dryly. “Not trying to stab them with swords.”

    “This is a knife,” Gwaine retorted, sounding every bit as sulky as he felt.

    “Still, you didn’t catch a fish.”

     
    ------------------------------------------------------

    Gwaine saves a young Merlin from a beating and ends up with a new little brother to take care of on his travels.

    Or, what would Merlin be like if he had Gwaine influencing him over his formative years?

    Meanwhile, Merlin thinks the newest servant is a mess.

    Or

    Arthur learns what it is like to be a servant and learns some interesting thing about his own servant.
