The Beginning of the Week’s Limbo of Heaven and Hell by fallen_stxr

Summary
“Did you take everything from the physician’s chambers?” Merlin asked quietly. The serving girl nodded, “As instructed. I sorted through the mess. Most of it, I managed.”
Merlin hums, slightly impressed. He thinks of where he last kept his- “Was there anything on the bed or floor?”
Alicia pauses for a moment, “…Just dust, I think.”
Merlin shoots her an inconspicuous look, “Nothing at all?”
She shakes her head, “Not that I can think of.” She says with sweaty palms.
“Was it- Was it anything important?” She whispers. Merlin gives off a small smile. “To me, it was.”
Alicia could take a guess that it was the dagger, sheathed in blood that she almost threw up upon finding. She’d remain silent about her findings, wanting to notify Arthur first. “Would you like me to look for it?”
Merlin pauses a few moments. He’d like to think that he shouldn’t tell her.
--------<3
Depressed Merlin is being forced to live after Arthur doesn't order his execution Post-Magic reveal. Maybe Arthur doesn't hate him. Why doesn't he hate him? Why isn't he dead? He should be dead. Why is he still here? Being cared for? He doesn't deserve this. Maybe it's punishment - psychological torment somehow.

What if you're someone I just want around? (I'm falling) by heartsocold

Summary
“I get it. You know all the worst parts of me. The things I’ve done. Obviously, you know how much of a monster I can be–”
“No!” Arthur shouts, cutting him off. “Merlin, you are the best of us. I mean that. Anyone would be lucky to have the honour of courting you.”

Summary
“Why not?” Arthur began, shrugging lightly, dismissively “You need blood to live which I have. Why not let you take nourishment from me?”
“You make this absurd suggestion sound so easy.” Merlin replied testily “I could kill you.”
“You could kill me long before this.” Arthur snorted mirthfully, “You spoke of that fact very often actually.”
“Do not jest about this━not about this” Merlin snapped, his voice sounded afraid even to his own ears. He blinked away the tears threatening to fall, his lower lip quivered “I could lose control━lose myself. I will not endanger your life to satisfy my hunger.”
▂
After spending weeks unbearably hungry, Merlin confessed that Gaius’s blood-like potions aren’t curbing his newfound appetite. So, Arthur offered an interesting solution to his problem. The warlock isn’t into the idea at first, but he may grow to relish his lover’s trust.

Summary
In hindsight, Arthur probably should have known something was wrong when Merlin didn’t argue about Arthur assigning him to muck out the stables.
He supposed that was the first sign.

Summary
Merlin has a YouTube channel about plants, nature, and various other things green. Arthur has a YouTube channel in which he plays games and does not, at all, talk about his personal life.
For reasons no one understands, their followers really want them to collab.
In which Arthur has hang-ups over shout-outs, Merlin loves his fiancée on his main channel (and may or may not be cancelled for eye-fucking another man), Morgana is ruthless, and Gwaine shouldn't have told the world he has an OnlyFans.

Summary
Merlin’s gaze shifts over to the window, Arthur’s presence clearly an afterthought now.” Your people are out there because they know. They know what I am and what I pretended to be, they know that it isn’t natural.”
Arthur flinches as though he’s been slapped. He frowns, hands at his sides, standing there like a child.
He thinks of Uther in all his glory. Heavy armor, icy stare.
Uther who never would have agreed to this, Uther who would be ashamed of the man he’s become.Arthur needs this to be mutual. He needs Merlin to fight for this just as much as him because if he doesn’t, he’s not sure how long he can withstand it.
(Or, Arthur thought he’d made the right decision. For Merlin, for Camelot. But not everyone is pleased.
There a consequences to be dealt with.)Series

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
“You know,” Arthur says, his tone softer now, sadness bleeding through. “Sometimes, I don’t think you believe me when I say that I love you.”
“What?” Merlin rears back, the words landing like a physical blow.
"I just don’t understand, Merlin. I try to, I swear, I do but it’s just--why do you think you taking care of me and me taking care of you are two entirely different things. You do things for me because you love me, so why can’t I do the same thing for you for the same reason?”
And here’s the thing, Merlin wants to answer that question logically. He knows he should have a definitive reason but he can’t for the life of him figure out what it is because Arthur’s making too much sense. Why is he so adamant it’s different?

Summary
“Erect a barrier from the rain,” Arthur ordered.
He had to bite back a scathing reply about the treatment he’d been receiving all day. It was bad enough that Arthur had forgotten a day that was so important to Merlin but to treat him like he was just some servant rather than his lover.
To act like they’d never been anything more…
Or
It's been one year since Merlin and Arthur began courting, an event Merlin finds incredibly important. Unfortunately, it seems Arthur doesn't share the feeling of importance...
Or does he?

3. Arthur is dying.
4. Any combination of aforementioned conclusions.Gwen rolls her eyes and hits him over the head when he mentions it to her, Lance looks at him like he’s particularly dense and Gwaine laughs for a good five minutes.

Summary
Merlin hates having someone voice his thoughts. It pushes him to break promises, pushes him to the brink of his strength, pushes him to his wit's end. It pushes him... out of a window.
Him and Arthur have a wholesome breakfast.
-
The rock accelerated out of Merlin’s hand, shattering the window as it flew into the world. He placed his bare foot and hands on the sharp-edged ledge.Cold wind blew on his face, ignoring everything else. Just as his body was just about to fall, a wrist grabbed his ankle.
“Let go!” Merlin screamed out. His voice was warbly and raw.
“Are you insane?! No!” Gwaine shouted.
“Of course I am! Let me go!”
-
Arthur hugged him tighter and Merlin raised his own hand to detach Arthur from his body.Arthur looked so torn. Heartfelt. Merlin looked broken. Empty.
-
“Leave me alone!” he attempts to persuade. “Oh? How would I punish you for eating my cake then?!” Arthur says, cackling as he grabs Merlin by the legs, pulling him down to land on the bed. “Mine!” Merlin says, going to eat the last bite from his fingers.
Arthur rushes forward and takes the last 8th of the cake with his lips. “What a delight. The last bite of my cake."
