A collection of oneshots from the author's existing fanfiction, with a primary focus of WHUMP! according to predetermined prompts. Indulgent and gratuitous pain, agony, angst, etc.! Canon pairings, no slash.

Camelot has faced its greatest threat to date and survived. Things are changing in Camelot for everyone, a new queen and new allies. Merlin and Morgana are called to Avalon. What could they learn there, should they even go.

These subplots of The Passions of Pendragons follow the knights, Tristan & Isolde, and other original characters facing their own challenges and internal battles. The first few chapters are conclusions to The Sorrows of Pendragons that needed to be told.

As Arthur and Merlin amend the laws easing the use of magic, opposition erupts from both nobles and commoners. While the king, queen, and knights prepare for the Golden Age, Dodd-Killian and Mordred plot revenge against them all even as a new threat rises from Escetir. Can Merlin and Arthur avoid a civil conflict and war with Lot before Dodd-Killian and Mordred strike against them?

Soft-footed, Arthur crept around the log Merlin was perched on so he could talk to him face-to-face, expecting to find a moping manservant trying very hard to ignore him.

What happens when Camelot knights find her twenty years later? What happens when Arthur learns he's betrothed to a peasant boy? Will Merlin be able to stand among royalty? Will these two different boys survive each other? Review!

Basically it will be 50 various scenarios where the show's finale could have gone slightly differently resulting in Arthur surviving explored in drabbles. Some are funny while others are sadder. You have been warned. Currently at Chapter 3: Looks. Cross-posted on AO3.

After six years of banishment arthur finally finds him again, but things have changed and he is still not sure he is ready to face the man that betrayed him the most... better summary inside, and a description of my Merthur Au. if you read it, i hope you enjoy. P.S. implied and maybe mentions of mpreg...

This story is a collection of missing moments, scenes & episodes that I have thought about. Heavily focused on the main characters & their relationships. Lots of Arthur & Gwen romance and the friendship between Arthur & Merlin plus the other characters Gaius, Knights etc I was inspired by the reactivation of the Merlin Twitter account. Rated K but may change as story progresses.
