Summary
“It has its roots in a legend from the east, sire. I believe it’s called the red string of fate.”
“Fate?” Arthur said incredulously. “What, is he going to be the one to kill me?”
“Getting more likely by the minute,” Merlin supplied.
“Shut up, Merlin.”
Gaius held up a weary hand. “Legend has it that the string connects people to the person with whom they are most compatible.” There was a beat of silence.
“You have got to be kidding me.”

Summary
The Dorocha. They are the voices of the dead, my child. And, like the dead, they are numberless.
Or
A different take of the dorocha. Instead of them being faceless screams that attack you, they are actually figures of the dead. Merlin doesn't quite realize how much death affected him until him and the knights go to close the veil.

Summary
"I LIVED!"
Merlin closed his eyes. He could have predicted Gwaine's arrival into the modern world would be bad...He hadn't anticipated Leon's to be worse. Leon and Lancelot were supposed to be easiest of them all. The crowd all turned. The knight in question was still dressed in his armor, hands risen high to signal his triumph as he looked around. Merlin awkwardly cleared his throat and pushed himself through.
"Merlin?" He asked when he caught sight of him "You survived as well! I knew you would persevere against the trials of life as any man should. Death cannot claim us!" A woman in the crowd sobbed "Why do you look so strange?" He asked and Merlin tried to ignore the angry whispers and glares thrown their way.
"Let's talk about it after the funeral."
Or
In which the time has arrived for all who have fallen to rise again. Unfortunately, they are rising in the worst ways possible (Now updated with a second chapter with what Arthur was doing during all of this BS because Merry Christmas).

Summary
Arthur could wrap his mind around the magic. Barely – but he could. Merlin had often been the most troubling puzzle for him. However, the king wasn’t ready to accept that his servant had been protecting him all these years. That was never supposed to be Merlin’s role.

Until he does.
