Twist of Fate

by SassyWrit3r

Everyone knows the tale of Morgan Le Fey. Of how she betrayed her half-brother and allowed black magic to warp and blacken her heart. But what if there had been someone there to help Morgana? To show her that magic could be used for good, and that Arthur would one day return magic. Is Morgana really unredeemable or can she be saved? Morgana/Fem!OC, Merthur

1. Chapter 1

A/n I've always been a fan of good Morgana and while I know in the Arthurian legends she's evil, I feel like in Merlin she was cheated. The only reason she turned bad was because Merlin didn't trust her and she had no one but Morgause for support. That's my reason for writing this fic. Warning: there is a lot of gay romance. I'm a fan of Merthur and I'm lesbian which is why Morgana's going to have an eventual romance with my girl. If you don't like it then please just don't read it. I'm always open for constructive criticism but please no flames!

Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin otherwise Morgana would be good and Arthur would've found out about Merlin's magic way earlier.

Prologue

Fate dictated that Morgana Pendragon was to manipulated and hurt until she was twisted beyond recognition and became Morgan Le Fey. She was to use her magic to destroy her half brother and any happiness that either of them could have, and go down in history as the villain. Diana of the Druids was supposed to grow up happily with her mother, father, and twin brother Apollo. Her parents were supposed to grow to a ripe age before passing away peacefully in their sleep, her brother was to be married to his childhood sweetheart and have a daughter of his own, and Diana herself was to never marry but grow up to be a beloved chieftess of her people, surrounded by her family, friend, and creatures of the forest that she so loved.

However when Destiny looked at the future Fate had planned for Morgana, she decreed it wrong. The pain and sadness brought about by her betrayal was too much for everyone, so Destiny changed it. She knew that if she simply made it a happy ending that Fate would find a way to change it back into something horrible, for the balance between happiness and pain in the world must be kept. So in order to make Camelot a better place for all, Destiny brought on pain and death on the girl whose life was to have none of either, but also designed love and happiness to come later in her life in the form of Morgana, whose fate would change because of the love of Diana. So 18 years after Diana was born and 19 after Morgana's birth, the twist of fate began in an attack from Camelot's knights on Diana's peaceful druid clan.
