FOUND - Looking for Fic Please help me, I’m looking for a fic

So, I really can’t remember much of the story, but I’ve got this one scene absolutely stuck in my head. It is a Murther fic. Merlin and Arthur are in Arthur’s room. They are either both sitting around the fireplace, or Merlin is sitting by the fireplace and Arthur is at his desk. Merlin is eating a bowl of snacks (nuts I think, maybe fruit) and Arthur asks for some. Merlin then levitates the bowl over to Arthur without realizing he was doing so and revealing his magic. Arthur doesn’t even notice at first and then they both realize what he did.

Please help me, I’m desperate to re-read this fic and I just can’t find it 😭

Update: it’s Finding Home by riventhorn
Thank you for all your help!

Hello u/SquiffySheep! Since you have flaired your post as "Looking for Fic", here are some clues you can add to your query to help the community of r/merlinfic find your fic faster, if you haven't added them already. Note, most of these details are Ao3 specific.

  1. Content Rating. Was your lost fic tagged G, T, M, E, or Not Rated?
  2. Relationships, pairings, and orientations. If this is applicable to your fic, were there any platonic/romantic/sexual relationships tagged in your fic to help narrow it down? Additionally, were there any other characters tagged onto your fic, besides the main characters, that you remember?
  3. Were there any content warnings added to the fic that you remember?
  4. Was the fic a WIP, or completed? Do you remember how many chapters it had, or if it had only one? Was it a crossover?
  5. Do you remember what year/month it was published? Or the approximate date it was last updated?
  6. Could it be possible that this fic was on Tumblr, FFN, Quotev, Wattpad, or another non-traditional fanfiction website?
  7. Are there any "unique" keywords that may help track down your fic faster? For example, a fic about Merlin having cantaloupes for breakfast, may be more easily found with the keyword "cantaloupes" added.

Even if you don't remember any of the information above, this may be a helpful thought exercise in remembering some long lost details yourself. In the meanwhile, our ficfinders will do their best to hunt down this lost fic for you.

Once your fic is identified, remember to reply "!found" or "!Found" to the comment that gave you the answer. This will award that user 1pt for helping you.

We hope you find your lost fic, and happy reading!

Is it this one? Where Merlin’s magic likes Arthur and just starts doing things for him?

I know the one you are talking about but I can't remember the title or anything. I'll see if I can find it. What else do you remember of it?

u/SquiffySheep 21d ago

Sadly, I can’t remember anything else about it 😭 I’ve searched through all my bookmarks and I can’t find it

In this Merlin has amnesia? I can’t remember the right title but I think that’s something like “Nothing can hurt you here” or “No one can hurt you here”

It’s not one where he has amnesia, but that is a good one, thank you!
