I have read so many fanfics with Merlin time-travelling to the past after Arthur’s death to set everything and whatnot.
But what if Arthur was the one who travelled to the past?
I want to read a story where after Arthur dies, he gets sent to the past, before he met Merlin. Arthur dragging a confused Merlin around to free an innocent sorcerer, Merlin going into panic mode because Arthur keeps hinting at his magic but still acts dumb about it and Arthur coming up with much better lies when someone comes really close to discovering Merlin's magic.
I want a totally smitten Arthur Pendragon just teasing Merlin more than usual (read: flirting) with Merlin constantly getting flustered but a bit confused. Arthur is trying to build a better relationship with Morgana and helping her when needed. Him trying to set up Gwen and Lancelot because they are perfect for each other. Him just not listening to Uther and showing he does not agree with Uther on many things.
Please send me a link if anyone has any recommendations or writes a story like this.Â
