angst (with a happy ending), tension, drama, mystery, action/adventure, 4x07: the secret sharer, canon divergence, gaius dies!au. 94k, complete.
Everyone he trusted with his secret – Will, Freya, Balinor, Lancelot, and now Gaius – was gone. Arthur would never bring magic back to the land, and he would never let Merlin stand at his side the way Merlin had hoped he would. It was a cold awakening, years of baseless faith dashed against the fraying tapestry that destiny had made Merlin sew into his own skin, but an awakening nonetheless.
Merlin is shaken out of his obsession with destiny and his blind faith in Arthur. Arthur just wishes he knew how to get his closest friend back.
thinking about merlin saying “the years before I came here were the loneliest of my life” and arthur saying “you’re the only friend I have and I don’t want to lose you”
he looked the man paid to look after him in the eye and said “you’re the only friend I have”. friendless loser behaviour

And albeit they were Moriquendi, under the lordship of Thingol and the teaching of Melian they became the fairest and the most wise and skilful of all the Elves of Middle-earth. | { celeborn + mirkwood sigils credit }
Currently reading the Silm; the only book my library currently has (aside from LOTR and the hobbit) is The Children of Huron. Advisable to read this one once I finish the Silm?
sure! The Children of Hurin is basically the “Of Turin Turambar” chapter from the Silm but much more developed! so it reads more like a story :)
I’d recommend Unfinished Tales after the Silmarillion too, if you can find it somewhere
Hello! Would you happen to know of any (hopefully long) thorin x bilbo fics with the premise being the events of lotr but with bilbo and thorin (and company, even) instead of frodo, sam, merry, and pippin? Like with bilbo being the ring bearer? Or maybe something similar?
No worries you don't know of any, of course! Hope you have a great day/night 😊❤
hiya, I don’t sorry! I’d give the ao3 filters a go 💛
