Before the battle of Camlann, what would happen if Arthur knew of Merlin's magic and was expecting him to unburden his secret? What really happened in the crystal cave? This story takes on from 512 & 513, and explores how Arthur rules as well as he fights and how Merlin learns that the meaning of duty falls not on one's shoulder alone.

Everyone knows the stories. About the Golden Kingdom of Camelot, Her Just King Arthur, and his Wondrous Magician, Merlin. There are many renditions of this beloved tale, and yet, there are still Questions. 'What if Arthur had met the dragon first' for example...

Set post S2, Morgana has a dream that changes everything. 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. And, even as Arthur rises to the throne, a new threat looms from across the sea. One thing's for certain- destiny is not always set in stone.

Occasionally Merlin and Arthur find time for themselves to just relax and enjoy each other’s company. It may have started as Arthur leaning on Merlin while he helped him walk while he was drunk, but it didn’t stay that way…. (Uther, Gaius and the knights ships Merthur and so should everyone else)

Merlin was excited for camp. He was up until Professor Geoffrey started to announce the partners for tents. "Next, we have Arthur Pendragon and Merlin Emrys." Well, camp's going to suck. (Merthur, Camping/High School AU, Fluff)

Revenge is a nominally legal business, but this time it's personal for Merlin, and nothing will get in his way - not Agent Arthur, not Freya the wife of the man who murdered his family.

This is a collection of Merlin one shots based on various characters and situations throughout the five series. I hope there is a good mixture of drama, friendship, romance and angsty moments. They will also involve lesser known characters in the collection as well. Some are characters I haven't written about in much detail before, so any comments will be welcome. Enjoy. :)

If 2 World Wars weren't enough to bring Arthur back what could have possibly made him come back now? If you ask Morgana she'd try her best to rationalize something. If you ask Merlin, he'd rather scream. Also why is Mordred here? Cross Posted with A O 3 user name Apex Calibre : D ART COVER CREDIT: Natascha Horn on Pinterest give her a check out

Merlin wasn't entirely on his own as its been told throughout the centuries, and a lot of the time the tales have become muddled up. Basically, things didn't go as smoothly as thought, and some things were just point blank ignored. Like the fact he had a sister.

Merlin decides Arthur has been working too hard and needs a break. The solution? Kidnapping.

They were both cuddly at different times of day. Merlin at night, to fall asleep. But Arthur, he never let Merlin out of his bed early, which can really interfere with Merlin's daily chores.
