Summary
Merlin and Arthur go shopping for outfits for the school dance. It’s easy for Arthur. For Merlin, it’s price tags he can’t afford and the fear that everyone will see how much he doesn’t belong next to Arthur—and that Arthur could do so much better than him.
Arthur is determined to prove that’s not true.

Summary
Post Camlann, Arthur lives, and is wracked with guilt and grief. Merlin is still thinks Arthur is angry about the magic and the lies. Misunderstandings and heartache ensue.
(Inspired by Amy and Rory's fight after the breakup)
xxArthur shook his head again, interrupting before Gwaine could break the flow of his speech, a little afraid that if he didn’t get it all out, he would never have the guts to. “I’m going to free him. After we find the fomorrah and kill it, I’m going to let him leave. Maybe he’ll go back to Ealdor, maybe somewhere else.”
Gwaine’s eyes were wide, “Surely, you’re not serious.”
Arthur squeezed his eyes shut. “You’ve always been his.” Gwaine looked a little like child who had been caught doing something he shouldn’t, but he said nothing while Arthur continued. “Your loyalty has always been to him. Can I ask you this one last thing? Go with him, wherever he goes, I can’t bear the thought of him being hurt.”
“He will be safe here,” Gwaine said, softly.
“But will he be happy?”

Summary
“You know,” Merlin said, feeling faint, dizzy and exhausted. “Your kidnapping etiquette could do better. You haven’t even offered me a meal yet.”
“Shut the hell up,” Hugo said, throwing a harsh punch into Merlin’s stomach, making the warlock suck in his breath and cough violently.
--
“What if we are unable to find him?” Elyan asked.
“We’ll find him,” Arthur insisted firmly. Leon and Elyan shared a worried look with each other.
“Sire,” Leon said. “We have to consider the possibility though. And think of a plan of action for if he is not found.”
“He will be found,” Arthur said and Leon’s shoulders fell.
“But, Sire-” “That’s enough!” Arthur shouted and his knights fall silent.
~~~
Merlin was kidnapped and tortured for information about Arthur's plan of attack. Arthur goes a little crazy until Merlin is back where he belongs, and then some things are revealed.

Summary
“What is this, Merlin?” he said forcefully.
Merlin jumped before freezing in place, the pile of clothes falling to the floor and his eyes returning to their normal blue.
“Merlin,” he snapped, wanting a response.
Merlin dropped to his knees, his breaths quickly becoming ragged. “Please, I’m sorry, sorry, so sorry, please,” he begged, “Please, I can’t- I don’t- please, please, Arthur, I don’t wanna burn! Please, pleasepleaseplease…”

Summary
Merlin is mentally Ill. This is his... journey? Start to finish of... healing? That's the word I want to use. He gets better in the end. Please remember mental illness wasn't really acknowledged in this era. They didn't have a word for depression or a diagnosis like nowadays, but people felt that common ground of low mood, they would have somewhat known it existed.

Summary
“What’s Merlin up to, Gaius?”
Gaius isn’t listening. His eyes are wide and horrified but suddenly focused on something behind him, something outside of the window.
Before the knights can turn around to catch it, the door flies open yet again. The force behind it so strong that it nearly falls off it’s hinges.
Familiar eyes meet his own.
Merlin’s eyes.
Merlin is back, coming right through the door.
But he isn’t walking. He’s falling through the door and landing on the hard floor before Gwaine can even register what’s happening.
“Merlin?” Sir Leon rushes to his side, his voice quiet.
Merlin is right in front of him. Blood soaked and filthy. Covered scrapes and bruises. Crying out for no one in particular.
And it’s the most battered Gwaine has seen him.
(Or, Merlin disappears without explanation, leaving Gwaine worried to death.
Luckily, the sorcerer returns.
Beaten and battered.)

Summary
Merlin and Arthur met as conservatory students -- Merlin studying cello, and Arthur drama. They went from snarky roommates to inseparable friends, despite their differences, and Merlin started to wonder why being with Arthur made him feel so different than with all his other friends. Unfortunately, when Arthur left for Hollywood, and Merlin's own career took off, they slowly lost touch. Now, Merlin is a world-famous virtuoso and Arthur comes back to London with some surprising news...and a lot of feelings.
Domestic schmoop, fluff, humor, snark-as-a-love-language, smut, and more ensue, and pretty much the whole gang shows up.
Title from famous cellist Jacqueline du Pré: "Playing lifts you out of yourself into a delirious place."

Summary
merlin panted softly to himself as he took a seat on the end of the bed, he’d just finished putting his pajamas on and was already out of breath. his back was sore and his ankles were swollen, while his belly was huge and round with the heir. “-and i told gwaine that if he believed he could outrun me, he was a fool.” arthur laughed low and throaty as he slid off his boots, having just come into their bedroom from a meeting with his knights.
“well, you’re all quite thick.” merlin hummed, steadying his breathing as he rubbed his belly. he was dressed in a simple gown as he slid into bed, holding onto his back as he stretched and laid down. he cleared his throat in an attempt to hide his labored breathing, tiring himself out from being so heavily pregnant.
or
merlin is pregnant
