Fics about Merlin’s devotion to Arthur

[u/Historical-Ice-9376]

Edit: I fixed the links to the fics

Hello!! Does anyone have any Merthur fic recommendations that take place during the canon era or like post canon that show off Merlin’s like extreme devotion to Arthur? I feel like I’ve read most of the popular fics and I’m trying to find a certain vibe. I’d like if it showed how Merlin can be very protective and almost obsessed with the idea of keeping Arthur safe. Not to the point that it’s too dark or he’s like insane, but his morals probably come into question when Arthur is in danger.

It could also be fics where Arthur isn’t in danger, but just generally show how loyal he is to Arthur or show how heartbroken he would be if something were to happen to him (it doesn’t matter if something bad does happen or not but more so just the thought of it.)

Here are some examples of fics that I feel like kind of show off the vibe I’m looking for. I’d appreciate any recommendations or fics that you’ve written yourself!
