Morgana never expected to even hear from Vivienne ever again, let alone when she was only four weeks away from giving birth. Having been thrown in at the deep end when parenting Amhar, they thought that they'd be pros at parenting by now, yet life change after life change continues to prove them wrong. Part 6 of the STAGES series

My first attempt at Whumptober 2021, and crikey, I'm already late! Expect 31 stories around the next 5 weeks or so with plenty of Arthur whump, Merlin whump, knight whump, and some magical potions and things. Rated T just in case - minor cursing and of course, some violence. Whumpees will be identified at the start of each chapter. All rights go to the BBC.

Isabella lives a very successful life in New York City. However, she is attacked one night, unleashing a dormant power she did not know she possessed, and transporting her back in time to Camelot. There she is faced with a truth no one could've predicted. Her destiny will rewrite history and forever change the lives of everyone in Camelot. Arthur/OC, Lancelot/OC, Merlin/Morgana

Gwen, the bastard daughter of an earl, has been consigned to the role of a servant by a derisive stepmother. A sort of Cinderella story where she sneaks into a famed masquerade ball and inadvertently meets her Prince Charming. For one night, she lives like royalty. Alas, the magic must come to an end...at midnight. And her prince is left wondering...who is that exceptional woman?

Sir Leon comes comes back from his assignment from northern border after three years. He has to prove that his loyal to Uther, not to Arthur. Fem!Merlin, starts from second season. AU

For better or for worse, Arthur knows Merlin's secret. The problem? Merlin doesn't know Arthur knows. This leaves Arthur with a predicament... and an opportunity. A test. Three trials and three opportunities for Merlin to prove he doesn't deserve death. Arthur hopes he'll pass them. Maybe then Merlin's golden eyes will stop haunting him. S3 AU, Magic Reveal, Exploration of Arthur

Rose is a simple village girl that lives with her brother Will when all that changes when her village is attacked by bandits they are rescued by the prince of Camelot and his crew. After her brothers death she ends up in Camelot but there is a lot to come for the young one. Follows the series from the moment of truth (I don't own Merlin).

It was just supposed to be a normal hunting trip. But you know how troublesome they always turned out to be. Featuring Merlin, King Arthur, Sirs Gwaine, Lancelot, Percival, Leon and Elyan. Another one of those captivity fics. Magic-reveal if you want it to be.

A newly healed and freshly motivated Arthur isn't the only one facing an overhauled view of the world around him. Camelot, the other kingdoms, and let's not forget Merlin, will all have their own adjustments to endure. How will these challenges help them grow? Please enjoy this post season 5, everyone slowly but surely gets their stuff together, tale of friendship and destiny.

It just seems so obvious: Merlin is in love with him. But perhaps even a prince shouldn't assume such things, especially when he unwittingly stakes their friendship on it. Co-written with Mapplepie.

Born unblessed by magic or noble blood, Daphne aims to leave the world better than when she received it. A dedicated healer, losing a comrade due to Uther's hatred of magic despite the good it could and has done, Daphne makes a rash decision. Several in fact, powered by a fierce desire to do good and a thirst for knowledge forbidden by a biased king. She will make a difference.

Set during The Kindness of Strangers. Merlin does things differently, starting with deciding to face Morgana and becoming more involved with helping the people like him. He knows he has to find a solution, but choosing one side, he might endanger this other.

"If you want a sacrifice, take me! I'm the one who killed the unicorn, I'm the one who should pay for it!" Arthur's raised voice was clearly doing nothing to convince Anhora. His chest heaving as his mind raced around what to do. Taking an innocent life was never a possibility. (Set in s01e11. Anhora's final test will cost more than Merlin and Arthur had ever expected.)

After every dusk and the darkest hour it always comes the dawn. What if Merlin managed to take Arthur to Avalon? What if Arthur lived? First and second chapter will be quite similar to the events from the last episode of season 5, so don't get discouraged! I used it as an introduction to the story. PS: I don't own "Merlin" and characters from the series.

REVISED! Set post season 2, Morgana has a dream that changes everything. Determined to make things right, she seeks out Emrys, the only one she knows can help her. Arthur gets told a prophecy that sends him on a quest to find the same mysterious sorcerer. Merlin gets caught in the middle, but one thing's for certain- destiny is not always set in stone.

After rescuing Gwaine the roguish man who had helped them in the tavern fight. Merlyn suddenly finds herself falling for him when she thought she'd never love again after Frey. And it seems the roughish man, Gwaine returns her feelings. Now to add a overprotective pratish Prince to the mix? What a tale it will be. Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin in any way shape or form.

2 years has passed since Merlin got in touch with his Dragonlord heritage and not all is well. Magic may be legal in Camelot now but there is still friction between the two sides. When Kilgharrah and Merlin grow sick, a quest must be undertook to learn the truth of the past.

Merlin was running out of time. If they didn't make it to the lake soon, Arthur realized, Merlin was going to die. (Magic reveal, Diamond of the Day AU.)

What if Morgana didn't put the fomorrah in Merlin after she captured him? Instead she tortured him physically and emotionally until Merlin broke and Emrys awoke.

On a scale of one to ten, Merlin would rate being married to Arthur a six and a half. Sequel to "Bells Will Be Ringing" a Merthur story. Side Arthur/Gwen, past Gwaine/Merlin.

And then it was just Merlin and Arthur, standing in the middle of carnage, just a few feet from each other. It was honestly perfectly normal, it happened all the time... Merlin/Arthur, Season 3 AU (kind of) Merthur

"If I could speak with Merlin telepathically," Arthur says, "do you think I would have let him throw himself from the parapet like a rag-doll two months ago?" or, Arthur must explain the unexplainable. Sequel to Mercurial but can be read alone. Golden Age!AU, Bromance and Hug Galore. Merlin and Arthur Friendship. Two-Shot.

When Merlin and Lancelot face down a rogue attempting to wield a magical sword, the power proves too much for him and the blade explodes. Lancelot shields Merlin and catches the shrapnel himself.

Tommy is a stableboy in the castle. He started keeping a diary a few months ago, it is his most precious possession. Gently poking fun at Merlin plotholes and a fun imagining of what life must have been like for a commoner in Camelot, dealing with the occasional dragon attack and escaped prisoner. Very roughly corresponds to the episode order

A string of whump Merlin one-two-shots. Review your story suggestions!
