Hey guys, I am back for now.

This is going to be a little summer project for me as well as trying to get out the few fanfics that I have planned.

Right so this is going to be a sort of you chose thing as you will pick a song from my music and a single character and a paring to which I will write a (about) 500 word mini-story.

I am going to ask for a number between 1 and 236 and that number is going to relate to a song. I would keep reading up here because the number will change as I add and delete songs.

I will see how this goes so here is a preview of what it is going to be like.

This is called Pop Danthlogy by Daniel Kim. This is a series of songs all put together so I would advise going to watch it beforehand (just to see how it flows and also you just should because it is awesome). I was originally not going to do it as it was too hard but I just started writing ideas down and it seemed to flow.

So I do not own anything. Not the lyrics and not Merlin.

Characters: Morgana, Uther, Arthur, Gwen, Merlin, Mordred, Leon, Gwaine, Lancelot

Parings: Arwen, Mergana, Methur

You held me down, but I got up (Uh, uh)

Roar by Katy Perry

Morgana never thought she would get so much satisfaction out of seeing Uther so broken.

His look of horror as she came out behind the throne was one she was sure she would remember for a long time.

This is what she had felt since her discovery of her magic.

She smirked as his head fell as she was crowned queen.

It was her turn to hold him back.

Ever since her father, Gorlois, died he had been the reason she could be herself. Gorlois would have understood and Morgana wouldn't have had to hide who she was. Uther had held her back and now she only understood her own power. Maybe it would be so out of control if she did felt like she had to hold it in.

"I am going to make you suffer like I have suffered." Morgana said. "And I am going to enjoy every second of it. My kind have died due to your paranoia. It's time you saw the damage of it."

Morgana had watched most of the executions, mainly because he had made her. They had never done something wrong. Just having magic was bad enough.

"You may have tried to hold me down but now I am in charge."

Morgana watched as the guards dragged the fallen king. She couldn't help but smile.

We can learn to love again

Just Give Me a Reason by P!nk

Arthur knew that the conversation would come sooner rather than later. He knew he needed to be the one to start it.

He hadn't asked Merlin about it because he knew what he needed to say.

Seeing Isobel die in Tristan's arms made him think about what happened between him and Gwen.

"Gwen." He called as he saw her turn around a corner.

Gwen stopped. She knew the conversation had to happen but she didn't want it to.

She turned to see Arthur next to her.

"Gwen, I am sorry ..." Arthur started.

"I know I will leave soon. I am sorry Arthur but I need to get on."

Gwen went to walk away but Arthur caught her arm.

"That's not what I wanted to say."

Gwen turned back to Arthur.

"I wanted to say that I was sorry that I doubted you. Lancelot was a good man and I had my suspicions that you were close. I just didn't have the strength to carry out what the council wanted me to do. Now I don't have to. I am going say that Morgana told us she was involved as a way of taunting us. Gwen I still love you."

Gwen couldn't help but smile.

"Watching Isobel die in Tristan's arms made me rethink. I can never forget but I can forgive."

Gwen nodded. "Maybe we can learn to love again."

Arthur matched her smile before kissing her.

We've come too far (woah!) to give up who we are (woah!)

So let's raise the bar (woah!) and our cups to the stars

Get Lucky by Daft Punk

Merlin could help but smile.

He had been patience and it had paid off.

The ban against magic had been lifted and Merlin had never felt freer.

It had been rocky to begin with. Slowing the knights found out about his magic one by one until Gwaine accidentally told Arthur.

He had come to complain to Merlin why he hadn't been told sooner and he had to hear it from Leon.

Merlin did try and stop him.

Arthur sent Merlin out and told him that he never wanted to see him again.

Arthur saw sense when the same man told him that Merlin was going to leave to return to Ealdor.

Arthur had spoken to him and allowed Merlin to explain.

Only a year afterwards, Arthur had not only changed his mind by the minds of all the council.

Merlin watched as Arthur stood up.

"Lords, ladies, friends. Tonight marks the beginning of a new era. The last one cause so much death and destruction. I hope for this one to be about love. Magic is no longer a crime. My father could never understand that people couldn't help who they are. Could never understand the fear he had placed you all under. My sister, Morgana, shows how that fear can change someone you love into a stranger. Her death has been tragic as I am sure she would have loved to seen this day. Please raise your glasses as we remembered the dead and the loved ones that also longed to see this day."

Merlin raised his glass. He had some many to think of. He looked to the stars. His mother had always told him that they were the dead looking down on the world to guide the ones they left behind.

He thought of Freya and Morgana. Both of them had stolen his heart. Morgana's death was a shock to them as she came to them weak, after months of being beaten and used by the Sarrum. There was little they could have done for her. Although Merlin was with her until the very end.

He thought of his father. Forbidden to see his family because he didn't want to have them killed. He knew his father would be proud of him.

This was it. This is Albion.

Are you gonna stay the night?

I need to be free with you tonight

Stay the Night by Zedd feat Hayley Williams Vs I Need Your Love by Calvin Harris feat Ellie Goulding

Merlin hesitates.

He has been standing there for at least five minutes.

He knows that she has changed but he just cannot help himself.

This time when he raises his hand, he does knock.

He signed as she takes her time to answer.

She opened to door.

"I thought you wouldn't come." Morgana said leaving to door open.

"I didn't know whether you wanted to see me. The last time we were together." Merlin stopped what he was saying.

Morgana smiled hold out the wine for him.

"I have changed Merlin."

Merlin knew what she was on about. Not two hours earlier they had been fight each other.

"I know but I cannot leave you. Something won't let me give up on you." He took the wine and placed it back on the table.

He took hers out of her hand and backed her up against the wall.

"Now, now Merlin. I am still a lady." Morgana said teasing him.

He looked as though he was going to kiss her but went to her ear. "You love it. I know you do."

Morgana couldn't help but shiver.

"I need to be free with you." Morgana said.

Merlin looked back at her. "Does this mean I can stay the night?"

Morgana smiled at him. "You can until my sister finds out."

Morgana grabbed his neckerchief and pulled him down into a kiss.

Tonight is the night

Can't Hold Us by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis

Arthur watched as his men got ready.

After his weird dream he knew that Morgana was on her way.

Whatever happened, tonight was the night.

Whatever happened, it would all end tonight.

Arthur hoped to see the battle through but he knew that Morgana wouldn't stop unless he was dead.

Arthur knew that he didn't want to meet Mordred on the battlefield. He would still be angry that Arthur killed his friend. But he had little choice but to. He couldn't save her if she condemned herself. He gave her the choice.

Arthur stopped watching his troops and got himself ready. He needed to think of a way to keep the troops behind him.

Mordred led the troops.

He knew what he was doing. He had watched Arthur doing it himself.

He walked along proud with his sword swinging at his side.

He was pleased with Morgana's gift and was glad that she could forgive him. Probably give her Emrys' name helped.

Merlin was on the wrong side. He always believed that Morgana was going down the wrong path but only now knew that Arthur was never going to change his mind on magic. He had hatred for magic drilled into him since he was born.

Merlin was too blind to see it.

With Arthur's death, Morgana could have her rightful spot on the throne and return magic to the land.

He was told of his destiny by one of the druid elders when he turned 18. He was born for this moment.

The boy in Mordred had died when Kara died.

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

('Cause you are the piece of me)

Only hate the road when you're missing home

(I wish I didn't need)

Only know you love when you let her go

(Chasing relentlessly)

Still fight and I don't know why

If our love is tragedy

Why are you my remedy?

If our love's insanity

Why are you my clarity?

Let Her Go by Passenger vs Clarity by Zedd feat Foxes

Merlin watched the boat go out.

That was it. His destiny over.

He never knew how much Arthur would mean to him.

Arthur was now his world.

Merlin dropped to his knees as the tears fell down his cheeks.

He always knew he loved Arthur but he didn't realise that his heart would be breaking this much.

He never knew whether Arthur felt the same.

Of course there had been a few stolen glances and kisses but it had never gone any further.

Merlin wishes now it had.

He had always seen it as wrong though and he knew of Arthur's need to keep up the appearance of being king. A relationship with his manservant would have killed Arthur's reputation.

Their love was insanity. But now Merlin knew that it was anything but that. It was clarity. Clarity that they loved each other, clarity that they needed each other.

"I came back because you're the only friend I have and I couldn't bear to lose you."

Merlin knew that Arthur meant it. Even maybe he was trying to tell him the words that would never come out.

But for now Merlin had to let him go.

As the dragon said, he would rise once more.

I really wanna love somebody

(I need your love)

I really wanna dance the night away

Love Somebody by Maroon 5 vs I Need Your Love by Calvin Harris feat Ellie Goulding

Morgana and Arthur hated the formalities of a feast.

Utter would give them the same lecture every time.

"Behave yourself, we have a reputation to uphold."

Arthur was the first to allow his eyes to wonder from the girl that Uther had got him to entertain.

Morgana watched him as he couldn't keep his eyes off of her maid. Morgana had accepted that it would happen whether she liked it or not.

That's when her eyes met his manservant.

Morgana knew that there was always something about Merlin that made him different from the rest. If only Uther knew his secret, he wouldn't be working. He wouldn't have a head.

Merlin gave her his goofy grin that made her smile just as the man she was meant to entertain laughed.

She turned to him with the same smile.

"So you enjoyed my story then?" The man said.

Morgan carried on smiling. She hasn't been listening to a word he said. He was just some lord's son that Uther probably hoped she would marry.

She would admit she did like power, but not ruling power.

The magic that Merlin uses somehow made her warm inside.

Morgana turned to the dance floor as the pipes began to play.

"Dance milady?" Arthur said standing up next to Morgana.

"Arthur you have a guest." Uther scolded him.

"Just one milord." Morgana said looking at Uther. She tilted her head to look at Arthur. "Of course Arthur."

Morgana took Arthur's hand and allowed to be led to the dance floor.

"How are we going to get out of this?" Morgana asked as soon as the music started playing.

"I have asked Merlin to come up with a plan."

Morgana looked at him. "Do you do anything by yourself? You're going to be the future king. You need to start doing things for yourself."

"Not when I have such a good dogsbody."

The music ended.

Morgana reluctantly sat down again.

Just then Merlin came along with wine.

That's when Morgana knew what his plan was.

He started to pour Arthur's goblet when he 'slipped' causing it to go into Arthur's lap.

"Merlin you idiot." Arthur sat standing up.

"I am so sorry sire. We should get you cleaned up."

Arthur had now caught on to the plan.

He stormed off calling for Merlin.

Gwen came up to Morgana.

"Milady, you didn't sleep too well last night. Maybe you should retire."

Uther perked up.

"Morgana why didn't you mention it?"

Morgana turned to Uther. "I did wish to worry you. I knew you were busy preparing this feast."

Uther nodded. "You may go if you need to."

"Thank you milord."

Merlin returned to the hall and spoke to Uther as Morgana left.

"I am sorry milord but Prince Arthur is too embarrassed to come back and has asked that I ask whether he can retire for the night."

Uther looked stern.

"For you clumsiness, yes he can retire. But you will be in the stocks."

"Understandable milord." Merlin said bowing his head before leaving.

Morgana and Gwen met the boys in the corridor.

"A bit of warning would have been nice." Arthur shouted as Merlin.

"But then your reaction would have been so realistic."

Gwen took Arthur's arm. "Come on Arthur. Leave it. Your father has given him to stocks for it."

Gwen led Arthur away as he seemed happy with Merlin's punishment.

The music from the hall could be heard.

"Dance milady." Merlin said holding out his hand.

Morgan took it and they started to dance.

Even though Merlin was exceptionally clumsy, he could dance very well.

"Come on, I should get you to bed." Merlin said after the song had finished.

Morgana wanted to dance all night but she wouldn't know what she would do if they were caught.

And when the daylight comes I'll have to go

No other way to say, I need you everyday

Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own

Daylight by Maroon 5 vs Thinking About You by Calvin Harris feat Ayah Marar

Merlin moved a little of Morgana's hair.

She was so peaceful when she slept.

Merlin could just start to see the sunrise. He knew he would have to go soon and be in the stocks. But he knew it would be worth it. Every moment he had with Morgana was precious.

Their relationship would never been seen as right. Uther would definitely not allow it.

She was a lady and he was just a servant.

Yet Merlin felt that it was right to be by her side. Felt it to be right to hold her when she had her nightmares.

No other man would do that for her and if it was found out by her that she does have magic then she wouldn't be able to use it.

Merlin would never want to see the day that Morgana leaves Camelot.

Gwen had perfected the art of sneaking around.

Due to her early mornings, she had to move silently around her home so she didn't wake her father.

Even now she still did the same thing every day.

She looked at Arthur.

She could hear his soft snores.

There aren't words that she can put for her love for the prince. There never seem to express it enough.

Yet she knew nothing could come of it.

Arthur was to marry to secure an alliance.

And anyway, she would probably leave when Morgana was married off.

Gwen lent down and kissed Arthur's forehead. He moved in his sleep as he registered it.

Gwen turned and left.

Merlin managed to pull on his jacket when Morgana started to stir.

She opened her eyes to see him at the bottom of the bed.

"Do you have to go?" She said sleepily.

Merlin moved to sit on the side of the bed next to her. She rolled over to see him better and be closer to him.

"I have to. Uther has me in the stocks all day."

She sat up and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Arthur will probably make you clean out the stables as well."

Merlin smiled. "That has become a daily job now."

Merlin kissed Morgana on the cheek and got up.

"Go back to sleep. You need it."

Morgana lied back down and watched Merlin go.

Gwen and Merlin met each other in the corridor, exactly halfway from each of their masters and lovers chambers.

"How will he be?" Merlin asked Gwen

"He will probably be in a forgiving mood but Uther will probably keep with his punishment."

Merlin smiled. "I don't mind the stocks."

Merlin headed off towards Arthur's chambers.

Today would be worth it.

And as long as I've got my suit and tie

I'mma leave it all on the floor tonight

And you got fixed up to the nines

Let me show you a few things

All dressed up in black and white

And you're dressed in that dress I like

Love is swinging in the air tonight

Suit and Tie by Justin Timberlake feat Jay Z

Leon could understand why the newer knights hated the formalities of wearing armour everywhere.

He had hated it when he first had his proper armour. When he was younger he would have just the pauldron and gauntlets. But nothing can prepare you for full weight of the armour.

Although he could see that the others could scrub up well.

Yet he was concerned about their behaviour.

Lancelot knew how to treat the higher class, Percival didn't really speak, and Elyan had been an old friend of his and still had the same respect for him. But Gwaine could bring about problems.

Leon had never known anybody to consume as much ale as Gwaine did every night.

Yet tonight Gwaine was surprising Leon.

"I think I might be in love." He said to his commander.

"I am sorry." Leon said turning so quickly that he thinks he hurt his neck.

"There is something about her, I just cannot explain it."

Leon looked over to where Gwaine was staring.

Out of everyone there, he decided that he would go for one of the richest families. Gwaine was looking at lady Elaine. She was from a family that Uther wanted an alliance from for years.

"Gwaine I wouldn't' father is very protective of her."

Gwaine looked at Leon. "I am sure one dance wouldn't hurt."

Before Leon could reply, Gwaine was gone.

He watched as Gwaine asked her to dance and her father agreed to it.

Leon was frustrated. He had always wished to dance with her and Gwaine he'd got it after one ask.

Leon continued to watch them dance.

How did he do it?

Afterwards Gwaine walked her back and returned back to Leon.

"Oh mate, I believe love is in the air tonight."

Leon picked up his tankard and didn't reply. (365)

Started from the bottom now we're here (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Started from the bottom now the whole team here

Started From The Bottom by Drake

Lancelot stood up.

He couldn't believe it. His dream had come true.

Even though it had become true before, this time it was he knew it wasn't cheating.

Lancelot then remembered where he had come from.

He had nothing after his village was burnt to the ground. He had lost everything.

He even had to steal a sword. It was his least proud moment.

But then meeting Merlin had given him hope.

He looked at his friend. Merlin was the bravest out of them, Merlin had done the most for Arthur. Merlin was always going to be a better knight than all of them put together.

But Arthur could never know. And he doubt that Arthur would ever know.

With everything going on with Morgana, Merlin couldn't be himself. Magic couldn't return when it is being used against Camelot.

He looked at his new fellow knights.

He knew little to their stories but he could imagine that they have been in a similar situation as him.

They were all where they wanted to be.

The whole team was there.

(Yeah) And we'll never be royals (royals)

It don't run in our blood

Royals by Lorde

Morgana couldn't do much in the well that she was captive in.

All she could do was think.

Luckily the Sarrum hadn't seen her for days.

She thought about it.

Why had she been dethroned twice. Why could she never keep hold of the throne longer than a few days.

Both her and Morgause had tried so hard to get the throne. It was where she belonged, it was the only way she was going to be herself.

But even from the beginning, she believed she would have been next to Arthur.

When they were growing up, she will admit that she did have a crush on Arthur. But when they hit marrying age, the feelings had turned from ones of suspected love to ones that siblings would share.

Arthur was now longer a potential mate, he was her brother.

Yet now she knew that he was always her brother.

She thought about all the times that Uther had brought up marriage to them.

If Arthur had asked for her hand, would Uther have allowed it?

He probably would have tried to talk Arthur out of it but then just let it go and allow it.

Yet all this had changed when that God dammed manservant turned up.

She didn't know why but his eyes always managed to look further than most others. She felt naked under his gaze.

But it was constantly on her at any feast, any time she was near him.

Yet she had trusted him.

She told him about her suspicions of her magic.

He distanced himself from her. As if he was scared of her.

But he hadn't been scared of Mordred.

Merlin's actions confused her.

In the pit, she thought that maybe she was never meant to have the throne.

She didn't even know what she was fighting for anymore.

And I can't change

Even If I tried (I don't wanna lose you now)

Same Love by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis vs Mirrors by Justin Timberlake

Merlin knelt down by Arthur.

This couldn't be happening.

Merlin placed his hand over the wound and pushed down on it to try and stop the bleeding.

"Merlin, it's too late." Arthur said breathless.

Merlin blinked the tears away. "No it isn't. It's never too late."

Merlin didn't know how long Arthur had but he wanted it to be as long as possible.

He knew it was too late. Morgana had taunted to him that Mordred had a sword that had been forged in a dragon's breath. With Mordred body not far from Arthur's, it wasn't a good sign.

"Look at you. You are so pathetic Merlin."

Merlin could see Arthur's sword and picked it up, swinging it out as he stood up.

The sword cut along her abdomen.

Morgana left to the floor.

"Oh sorry did you want to be left alone with your king?" Morgana said still taunting him now.

Merlin couldn't take it anymore. "You have taunted me about my love for Arthur for so long. I am loyal to him because I believe in him. But there is a part of me that falls for him every day. I cannot change that I am like that and I would tell the heavens that I am in love with Arthur Pendragon."

Arthur had slowly sat up and grabbed Merlin hand.

"I know." He said.

Merlin looked down to his friend, his destiny, his everything.

Arthur pulled Merlin's arm so that he would join him on the floor.

"I feel the same, I just knew that I would have to do the normal thing." Arthur said looking into Merlin's eyes. "My father always knew."

Morgana watched it. To begin with it was a joke that they did love each other.

But now she knew that it was meant to be.

Merlin placed his hands on either side of Arthur's face.

"I cannot bear to lose you. I don't want to lose you now."

Arthur smiled then placed his lips on Merlin's.

"I know." He said after the kiss. "But I know I can die happy knowing that you knew."

Merlin held Arthur until the light left his eyes.

There was nothing he could do to stop or change it.

This is my kingdom come

This is my kingdom come

Demons by Imagine Dragons

Uther smiled as he looked from the battlements of his kingdom.

He had lost many men to get this far but he need to remove the King of Camelot.

He knew that the people would need time to get use to the change but he did hope they would embrace it.

The old king had been harsh to them. High taxes and grain requisitioning had cause many people to lose their lives.

The constant wars as well did little to keep the people alive.

Uther was the fourth youngest of four boys. He wasn't going to inherit any of his father's land or wealth. He needed to find his own.

It might have seemed like a death want to go after the most strongest kingdom but Uther knew that it how far he had look to get noticed by his family.

It wasn't that he was ashamed of his family, but he wanted something for himself. He would allow his family to have a bigger name than they would have had.

He knew his father's wealth would finally leave and their family would be left with nothing.

He had made a new path for them.

His brothers would never have expected that he could have done this.

Yet without them he wouldn't.

The eldest was taught how to command the lands that they owned, and Uther watched, taking it all in. The second oldest was taught how to command the small army they had, and Uther watched, taking it all in. The third oldest was taught politics, and Uther watched, taking it all in.

Uther was taught how to use a sword. His father probably hoped he would become a knight for one of the kingdoms. How wrong was he?

His mother believed in him though. That's why he aimed so high.

He didn't want to impress his father. He didn't want to impress his brothers.

He wanted to impress his mother.

His mother that had left him a while go.

This was his kingdom and he was doing it for her.

(Singing here's to never growing up)

Here's To Never Growing Up by Avril Lavigne

Merlin knew that growing old was mandatory. But he had learnt over the years that growing up was optional.

He still hadn't really grown up from the 6th century because he had died with Arthur.

This old man walked the earth but wasn't the same person he was years ago. He couldn't be.

He didn't know why he did it but he kept something from everyone.

Gaius' herb bag, Gwaine's necklace, a piece of Leon's chain mail, the hilt of Percival's sword, Morgana's necklace, Gwen's engagement ring, Arthur's wedding ring.

They all reminded him of the past and he didn't want to grow up from that.

This age was different from the rest. Magic seemed to be everywhere and Merlin hoped for the best. He hoped that this was it.

He had missed them so much and he couldn't move on with life.

He needed to grow up but the stories of kings and queens, of knights and dragons, of magic, just kept Merlin young.

The number of times he heard the Arthurian Legend brought back all the memories he had.

He had made new ones since but the old ones always seemed to bring a bigger smile onto his face.

He couldn't wait for the day he could see Arthur again.

He couldn't wait for the day he could see Gwen again.

He even couldn't wait for the day he could see Morgana again.

This was his chance to put all his wrongs, right.

It might be a fresh start for them but for Merlin, it was going to be him growing up.
