The swirling vortex around Merlin seemed to squeeze him and then Gaius was thrown backward and the windows and doors blew outward, raining debris into the corridor and the courtyard below as the magic exploded." After an attempt on the new Court Warlock's life goes strangely awry, Merlin's friends rally around him. De-aged Merlin, but not as you've ever seen it.

"Magic had never had a birthday until he came. It had existed from the beginning and dimly awaited his coming, knowing that the moment of prophecy would come to pass and it would be as momentous as everything else normally was...it was magic after all. But this being, this soul, this boy brought a new kind of magic." A super short one shot that came out of the blue.

Arthur knew Merlin was more than just the other side of his coin. His kinship with majestic creatures of magic also had a place in his remarkable soul.

Arthur never would have thought he'd find his former servant Merlin in a place like this. The new king had to convince the warlock to return with him to Camelot. It shouldn't be too difficult to do.

"Help him! Help him Merlin! Make him all right! Save him!" Merlin moved quickly to the shocked midwife who stared down at the still, blue baby in her arms. "He's not breathing! Help him!" -This belongs in my Albion AU series, but it just didn't feel chapter-ish so I'm letting it stand alone.

"You IDIOT!" Arthur screamed in anguish. "What would possess you to practice magic? It brings nothing but suffering! Why would you feel the need to involve yourself with it? Why didn't you tell me!

There was nothing but darkness. Merlin could see nothing.
