A collection based on a special challenge over at The Heart of Camelot, featuring a brief chapter based on 10 different Merlin characters. The purpose of this challenge is to explore a moment on the show where each character's actions really stood out in a positive way.

"Morgana was about to take a step into the black water when she hesitated. Lancelot was Gwen's first love. He had to be. Wasn't he? There was someone before Lancelot..." This short oneshot deals with the another possible choice Morgana could have made to ruin Gwen's marriage. A choice that would have hurt Arthur even more- Merlin.

The annual duelling tournament has begun! Yet there is a price for fun during a time of unrest in Camelot - vulnerability to Morgana's attack. While Arthur gets to compete in the fun tournament, Merlin is forced to stand guard as bait to catch Morgana. With a nervous Sir Leon. *Includes Arthur's future round table according to legends: Gawaine, Kay, Ector, and Bedivere.*

Arthur finds out Merlin is his soul mate and a sorcerer. Can this odd couple survive through the tough times facing them, when homosexuality is considered worse than sorcery? -ON HIATUS-

The air was thick with the apprehension of the upcoming attack. So thick you could cut it with a sword, the men could feel it getting to them. Adrenaline licked through their veins, their muscles ready to move at any given moment. Arthur sighed, unsheathing Excalibur, the Knights following suit. "It's time." Oneshot, Songfic, No-Slash, mildly dark?

"She saw him, as if in slow motion, smile the crooked, carefree grin she'd seen in the tavern. Saw him slowly turn away, looking back once as if to see if she were watching him. She was. Morgana smiled, slowly: a corner smile that was too wry to be a smirk."

T for incest mention...and a violent sex mention. Just in case. Depressing thoughts. Evil Morgana. I own nothing.

A magical group called the Order of the Bear has appeared. It seems they strive for what Merlin is working for: Peace between magic and nonmagic people. Now Merlin's loyalties are being divided as Arthur himself has choices to make on the users of magic. Will it all lead to war especially when there are those that desire it? Post S4. Warning: Camelot bashing

And even if it broke him from inside, even if it unmade him, he would have to make a choice to keep everyone around him safe as he should. GEN.

Is he all that she seems to be? Will Gwen end up more satisfied with what she left behind, than what she comes to know?

Merlin left a few things out when he told his friends about his time in Camelot and about his magic. He knew he needed to tell them, but he wanted time to work out a few details before telling them of his and Arthur's destiny. He might not get as much time as he hoped.
