The world is in need of the Once and Future King to protect Albion again, but to do that the immortal Merlin, the man that has learned to live backwards, must be there and he is nowhere to be found. It is now the job of Merlin's Chosen. Only, Harry Potter thinks he's going mental.

As Harry Potter starts his fifth year at Hogwarts, he has to deal with romance, OWLS, and defeating a dark lord. Although his new Defense teacher seems pretty strange too. Will the mysterious professor be able to help Harry save the wizarding world? When the most powerful wizard in history returns after 1000 years, things are bound to get crazy.

If series five left you disappointed, read on. Starts soon after series four, and goes in a new direction where Arthur is smarter, the knights do more, Mordred is badder, Gwen is not brainwashed, and Merlin makes much better decisions and actually uses some of that power he is supposed to have. AU after series four, not slash. Work In Progress, updates irreregular.

Merlin always protects the Knights of the Round Circle, but this story is about the knights protecting/helping Merlin.

Arthur and Merlin are captured by bandits while on a hunt and Merlin runs his mouth a little more than they appreciate. He receives the brunt of their frustration but their actions have bigger consequences than anyone ever thought. Merlin whump, angst, protective Arthur

Merlin's magic is revealed and there are forces working against him and the creation of Albion. Follows the story of Merlin, Arthur, and some of the knights surrounding them after Merlin's secret is revealed. Canon up to 5x06, *SPOILER* acknowledges the death, not explicitly, of a knight in 5x06. Many more chapters to come.

"Everything is going to change, isn't it? The struggle over Albion and the Saxons, the old and new religion, the use of magic and the extermination of it. The stalemate has finally been broken, hasn't it?" Destiny has reached its turning point, and truths have come to light. Yet some truths bring dark outcomes. Can Arthur trust a man surrounded by lies? Magic Reveal. Set after 5x11

Merlin has grown frustrated. His destiny is failing, Morgana still lives, and Mordred's recent resurrection by the Disir sets in motion Mordred's fate. To add more fuel to the fire, Merlin can't seem to ignore the intense attraction he has for the Druid boy. With Arthur's hate of magic on one side, and Merlin's growing relationship with Mordred on the other, Merlin's so screwed.

Mordred sees Merlin sneaking out one night and follows him. When he overhears Merlin's conversation with Kilgharrah the reason for the warlock's distrust of Mordred is revealed. But now that he knows the terrible secret of his destiny can Mordred change it? Or will he be crushed by the weight of it? AU after season 5, episode 5.

Arthur is given a choice: save Mordred and accept the Old Religion, or let Mordred die and uphold everything his father built. What if Arthur chose to accept magic back into his kingdom? This is my take on what might have happened if he'd chosen differently when the Disir presented the choice to him. Eventual reveal.

"Arthur sat frozen on the ground. He couldn't move, couldn't think of how. It wasn't magic. It wasn't because of his wounded leg. It wasn't even fear. It was absolute shock." My version of the reveal.

In order to choose between her suitors, Arthur and Lancelot, Princess Guinevere sets them a quest-challenge. Meanwhile, Merlin struggles to survive as the only male in Camelot for a century whose magic is strong enough to earn him citizenship. If Arthur redeems Merlin's debts, will Merlin accompany him on his quest to repay him with 'gold' of another sort? (no slash!)

It started as a few tweaks and became a rewrite of Season 5 … what if the last season had not been about Mordred and Arthur's doom? What if Merlin used that great power he has and Arthur showed the sense one would expect of a leader and they built Albion together? Which may not be easy ... (canon divergence, canon compliant, no slash, canonical death, Arthur/Gwen, Merlin/Mithian)

Post Season 5. Arthur is given a second chance at life in an alternate universe, in which he tries to 'set things right' by relying on his faulty cognizance of how he'd thought he'd handled past sticky situations. Only this time round he has to be the one trying to get Merlin as his servant, and little does he know that 'his' Merlin had followed him there from their old universe...

For seventeen hundred years Merlin awaited the return of the Once and Future King. He was an immortal figure in a mortal world, bound to the Earth through the power of the Old Religion. As a familiar evil arises, Merlin returns to Hogwarts to face his most challenging obstacles yet. The time of Destiny has come. Welcome to the beginning of the end. Set during Triwizard Tournament

Merlin has lived for almost 1400 years without intervening with the wizard world. But when the time comes that he no longer can ignore Harry's need for help he decides to act, but it didn't go exactly as he had planned. Old enemies becomes friends, past regrets resurface, and the one thing that matters most is finally about to happen.

When Merlin discovers that his father was an estranged prince and he himself is now the only heir to the throne of a magical kingdom, he is forced to leave Camelot for the perils of a royal court. Will Merlin be able to win Arthur's favor again before Morgana launches an attack on a defenseless Camelot? Will he be able to defend his own kingdom at the same time or will all be lost?

When the screams of the dying invade Merlin's mind, something is stirring, and something is unearthed. [Reveal]

Merlin and Arthur get captured. Arthur must fight in an arena to keep them alive. Arthur hesitates before he kills his first opponent, Merlin get tortured for punishment. Whump!Merlin. Reveal fic. No slash. Set some time after season 4 but before 5. Warning for torture descriptions. I don't own Merlin

The knights, Arthur, and Merlin are told that in order for them to fulfill their destinies, they must truly understand and trust each other. A sorceress makes it so they all have a chance to listen to a song that describes each of them and their pasts and struggles. Set after season 4, reveal fic. Knights/Arthur/Merlin brotherly bonding. No slash.

"You know, Merlin, you're the one Arthur should knight. You're the bravest of us all and he doesn't even know it." AU 3x13; Arthur happens to overhear part of a whispered conversation between one of his most loyal knights and his manservant. Arthur POV. No slash. T for occasional language.

Follows the events of "Luthor"

Merlin is offered a second chance to try and fulfil Arthur's destiny by the Triple Goddess. When he is set back in time with only him knowing what had happened, can he avert fate and defy the prophecy? Set kind of post the series 5 finale, but then goes back in time. Epilogue is now up and the story complete! Thanks for reading!

5x13 alternative ending. What would happen if Merlin made it to Avalon in time? What would happen? BAMF!Merlin, bromance, everything . . . Twoshot SEQUEL UP

My version of a fight between Merlin and Morgana at Camlann. One-Shot!

Merlin is captured and Arthur must go on a quest to save him but will the rescue come in time? And will Arthur still want to save Merlin after secrets are revealed? Sequel to "Memories are Contrary Things". Please read and review, I know this is a common plot but give it a chance, you'll probably love it! Warnings: T for violence, torture, and some graphic imagery.

When Merlin's kidnapped and tortured to the breaking point, will Arthur be able to save him? Contains magic suppression and reveal. Rated for mild violence and uncomfortable themes for some.

The second story in a series about Clark Luthor's decent into darkness. Part 2 of the Infected Series.

'A dying whisper shouldn't have happened- he should have been standing next to him, not gone. He should have told him himself, had a chance to explain. Arthur gulped as memories hit him, tearing holes through his wall.' When Camelot loses those they love, are they ever truly gone? And when magic's involved... Maybe they're not truly dead?

When Merlin is taken by Morgana, Arthur has no idea of the consequences it will have on Camelot. But when Morgana takes Camelot too, will Arthur be forced to see a side to Merlin he never knew about before? And can their friendship ever be the same? Reveal fic. A bit of Merlin whump and Arthur whump. AU from the end of 5x11.

(AU of Series 5 Ep's 9&10) Finna sacrificed herself for the greater cause, She didnt expect Morgana to notice the trail of blood up to the roof and to where Emrys was slowly slipping away. What will Morgana do? How will Arthur react? when all becomes clear.

Prequel story for 'Ancient Relics'. Merlin has spent the three hundred years since Arthur's death hiding in the shadows waiting for the return of the Old Religion. Now, after a tragic event, he has found four unique individuals who may just be the ones he has been waiting for. The ones who can end his torturous immortality and restore the glory of Camelot. Founder's Era.

The princess from Brenna flees towards camelot, hoping to find peace and safety with new and old friends. But she brings secrets and danger that will have lasting affects on everyones lives even more so to Merlin . Set after S4 . Merlin/OC,No slash, rated T to be safe mild language,violence and implied adult content in later chapters

My take on what would happen if Arthur overheard Merlin outing himself to Uther's ghost.

Another sorcerer is out for revenge on Uther Pendragon, by killing his son, Arthur. But of course, that cannot be possible if his manservant is alive. As always, he somehow manages to save his prince's life, but not this time. So the sorcerer enchants a curse on the boy, an excruciatingly painful and slow death of body ache. No slash. DISCONTINUED

Doomsday has arrived and the JLA have the battle of their lives which leads to the death of a hero. Lois grieves over her husband, but in a moment of loneliness&desperation, she does the unthinkable which shocks everyone- Detailed summary inside!

Merlin has been arriving in Arthur's chambers exhausted every day. What's going on, and can Arthur help? What's more, a figure that Merlin trusts wholeheartedly is, unbeknownst, secretly conspiring towards his death! But who is this person? When you're the onlooker, there are traitors everywhere. Bromance, slash if you squint. Rated T for supporting character death.

An alternate ending to the finale so BEWARE SPOILERS! Merlin decides to try the Isle anyway and discovers a way to save Arthur. What is the price? And will he be willing to pay it? Arthur/Merlin slash.

Merlin and Arthur find themselves trapped in a cave where only the truth can be said. With nothing to do they start to talk.

What did happen in the Crystal Cave? How was Merlin able to get his magic back? Is he Immortal? Expanding on the Finale, and following on after a different ending. Multi-chapter work. Merlin-centric. Reveal. Whump. Angst. Bromance. Merlin, Arthur, Gwen/Arthur, Freya, Merlin/Freya, Guinevere, Gwaine, Gaius, Percival, Morgana, Mordred, Kilgarrah, Aithusa, Merlin/OC. T for violence

When Arthur,Merlin and the knights get trapped in a cave it turns out that they will have to pass five test in five realms before they can return home. And when merlin learns some thing about himself he never knew and will arthur and the knight accept him when they find out?

Arthur has to sack Merlin after he screwed up in front of an important delegation of kings. He doesn't know how he did it, but Merlin is sure he took the slide to hell. Warning:Helpless!Merlin.

Merlin loses his memory. Not a new plot but I wanted a shot. Merlin is in danger and now has to depend on people he has never met. Well, he can't remember meeting them. Disclaimer : I do not own Merlin.

WARNING: SPOILERS. Takes place in the fifth season when Gwen is still being possessed by Morgana. Gwen gives Arthur an ultimatum. He has to choose between the love of his life and his best friend. What will he choose? This is not a slash. It is a story of friendship. Possible reveal fic. Haven't decided yet. Review please! Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin

After losing so much, Merlin forges an alliance and finds a way to bring not only Arthur, but his Round Table, back to the world someday. Can Merlin bring back their memories of their past? And will fate repeat itself, or can destinies be changed? Primary romantic relationship is Arwen, with possible side of Merdred, but as with the series, the heart is the Arthur/Merlin friendship

Starts half way through 'Lancelot du Lac' in season four, so there are some pretty huge spoilers here! The shade is more violent towards Merlin, and Arthur and Agravaine find Merlin injured instead of Gwen and Lancelot kissing. Gwen takes off the bracelet and drama ensues! Merlin whump. I own nothing. Rated T, no slash.

This takes place after Merlin finds the dragon egg. Arthur is suspicious of Merlin's odd behavior. What will happen when Arthur follows him out into the woods in the darkness of the night? What secrets will be revealed? WARNING a romance will develop between Merlin and Arthur. Please review :)

In which everyone already knows about Merlin's magic, Merlin takes charge of Camelot(creating a citywide holiday) and sends Arthur on a day long treasure hunt, Gwaine hallucinates greatly, yet still becomes King for a day and marries a non-existent flying pig, the knights work for Merlin and Arthur gets his revenge... Resulting in war. Crack/Reveal fic. Credit Carwa111.

After a terrible accident, Merlin is left with no memory of his time in Camelot. Separated from Arthur and all who could tell him who he is, Merlin tries to piece together his life and his loyalties. But loyalties can be influenced; lives can take very different paths to the ones they were destined for. And a lost sorcerer is a very powerful and useful weapon to have.

"He was running. The cold air burned in his lungs, setting his body on fire with each breath. His legs felt ready to give out under him- the feet had turned from agony to numb long ago. But the barking had come alarmingly close and already he could hear the hunters' voices through the trees, spurring their horses on." What do you do when you've lost your destiny? - You run. Oneshot

Merlin has given everything to save Arthur and now Gwaine but the price must be paid all he has asked for is more time. Time to make sure Arthur is truly safe. However the time is drawing to a close and he will have to say goodbye to his King.

What if Merlin had reached Arthur before Mordred dealt the fatal blow? What if he was forced to reveal his magic to Arthur? Just how far is the young warlock willing to go to save his friend- the Once and Future King- and can Arthur forgive him? Alternate ending to 5x13

SPOILERS! AU ending to Season 5 Final Episode. Can Merlin really accept Arthur's fate? My version of how I hoped the series might have ended. Give it a try, you just might like it :) Lots of bromance with a little adventure thrown in. No slash. Chapter 9 FINAL CHAP is now up. Story complete! Enjoy! And reviews would be greatly appreciated.

He stands before me, eyes burning gold, hand outstretched and a scream breaks through, piercing my ears. It is unearthly, unhuman, the scream of someone dying. A sorcerer. Merlin is a sorcerer.

The final episode rewritten. Hopefully I bring closure for the characters with this AU found lacking in the canon.

My takes on how Merlin could possibly REVEAL! Please review, request, prompt. Quite a lot of violence anticipated. A lot of blood, a lot of fear. Sometimes Arthur will forgive him. Sometimes he will not. Sometimes... people will die. Sometimes not. Prompt 10: the entire court is put under a spell and Merlin is confronted by a powerful young sorcerer...

Merlin hits his head, and temporarily loses his memory. Bits and pieces come back to him, and he soon remembers all the knights...except Arthur. Obviously, Arthur isn't too happy about this. And as his memories come back to him, Merlin lets a few things slip... Bromance oneshot, no slash. K because someone gets stabbed and I didn't know what rating to give it!

Arthur doesn't die, but instead gets a chance to build a truly egalitarian Camelot where magic is free and Merlin is properly rewarded for his unending faithfulness. It'll be a long road there, but Arthur is much wiser now, and perhaps he can even save a few people who fate abandoned, along the way.

Five one shots, each showing a time Arthur was kind to Merlin without him knowing.

WARNING: SPOILERS. What if Arthur didn't die? What if instead, Merlin took him to the isle of the blessed and tried to spare Arthur by sacrificing himself? Takes place right after Kilgharrah says Merlin can't save Arthur.

In the beginning, he was trapped. In the end, he would be free or he would be dead. But for Merlin, the secret sorcerer, and for Arthur, the king who doesn't understand, being stuck in the middle is the worst place to be. And yet, at least they are not stuck alone. * A series of one-shot reveal fics* *Can all be read separately*

Merlin worries Arthur after a series of fainting/seizure spells. Bromance and features Gwaine and Gaius. Magic reveal (eventually!)

The truth of Merlin's magic can have many repercussions, and the lies and betrayals can threaten to overcome everything. But what about all of the good that he could have done? And how does Arthur feel when he sees it for himself? No spoilers for season 5, but makes sense concurrently. Possibly a series of one-shot instances of Merlin using magic in front of others.

Arthur turned his back, not wanting Merlin to see the tears that had welled up in his eyes, threatening to break loose. The man who had been there from the beginning wasn't going to be there to support him 'till the end. *Alternate Ending for 5.13*

Merlin didn't understand why Arthur needed to patrol. Nothing would be providing a threat in this weather. Yet there was something waiting for them in the snow.

'They could only watch, powerless to help.' - A veritable feast for those who indulge in Merlin!Whump, H/C, Magic reveals, bromance etc etc. Set between Series 3 and 4, so Lancelot is with us. AU from that point (because we can!). Rated for mild scenes of torture and the odd naughty word. Now with Chapter Two on it's way!

Alternate End for 5x13 in which Merlin sacrifices it all for Arthur written for post-finale self-therapy. Contains spoilers.

Ever since Arthur knighted Gwaine, Merlin's been hanging around with the man constantly. Or, the one where Arthur is kind of bad at sharing. Especially when it's with Gwaine.. Post series 3.

Getting out of the dress was definitely harder than getting into it. But finding Arthur again was a challenge all of its own. Spoilers for 5x9

Merlin gets cursed and shrunk down to only four inches tall. But the important bit to remember was that it was not Arthur's fault.

Merlin is forced to reveal his magic to protect Arthur and Camelot from a vengeful sorcerer who knows who he truly is. Set sometime after Season 4. No slash.
