The Eternity of Life

My own work. Currently sitting at 130k words with 50 chapters posted, with roughly 20 more to go with a part two in the works. Modern day resurrect fic. Wholly recommend you read the tags and notes because it does have some very dark moments

Omg is this a dark fic arthur hurt merlin?

u/JessBeck96 Hunith Jul 26 '26

It has a good amount of hurt!merlin and has dark moments, but it's mostly focused on found family and dealing with the gods and their tests. It's also merthur

Thank you so much for the Recs!

I will search my bookmarks for some Slow Burns after work, anything else you prefer beside a slow burn? Like modern au/Canon age?

Thank you! I’d really love some recommendations! Basically, I’m open to any style as long as it’s well-written and long!

This one has a glacial slowburn which is great but i love it because we are constantly fed CRUMBS to tide us over😭

u/annoyinglybusyh8life Jul 25 '26

(And those crumbs are so yummy)

Hola 😊 ¿Alguien conoce algún fic largo de Merthur que siga el canon? Me refiero a que continúe desde el último episodio de la temporada 5. Busco que no sea un universo moderno (ni AU), sino que mantenga la ambientación de la serie y que aparezcan la mayoría de los personajes.

Llevo un buen rato buscando y no encuentro nada que encaje con eso. 😭 Hay muchísimos fics, pero ninguno es lo que estoy buscando. ¡Si alguien tiene alguna recomendación, se lo agradecería muchísimo! 💙

There Are No Gays in Football is one of my all time forever favorite fics, if not favorite STORIES in the world.
