Merlin takes the crown for himself, rather than wait for it to come upon Arthur.

(Merlin is NOT DARK in this story, though there are graphic depictions of violence and they should only be read if you are comfortable with them)

So we meet again... (a merthur au)

Without the memories of when he was called "The Once and Future King", Arthur-the-office-worker felt without purpose until a boy named Emrys walked into his life, and he would never be the same. Maybe being without a true destiny has its perks. Tagged for language and descriptions of dark subject matter that readers may find disturbing. You have been warned.Complete
Something Old, Something New
Merlin had long since given up that Arthur would return. He had moved on with his life, and was currently a detective in London. It was the year 2021, and Merlin was doing fine. He had friends. A best friend even, Iris, who was also his partner. He still missed Arthur, but he was no longer waiting for the prat's return. But when bodies start turning up with alarming similarities to things in Merlin's life, he dares to start hoping, that maybe, maybe it was time for Arthur's return. The background on the cover is not mine. I found it online and thought it looked cool so I added words on top of it. Also, Merlin belongs to bbc and the writers/creators of the show. Only the storyline and the OC's are mine.Complete
