A simple childhood accident stirs up fears in Camelot's council about Uther's lack of another heir if Arthur dies. They convince a reluctant Uther to remarry. His bride? Princess Hunith of Essetir. Can a marriage of political convenience lead to love, when its participants both still love another? And if Merlin's secret come to light, will love prove more powerful than hate?

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?

Follows canon but with my own arranged marriage spin on it. What happens when Hunith makes a mistake and is forced on the run with her infant son? 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!

Part 3 in my Magic Reigns Free series.

What if after handling the Crystal of Neahtid in the the Witch's Quickening, Merlin wasn't just given a vision of the Great Dragon destroying Camelot. What if he was given insight into the events that would take place during the Fires of Idirsholas. What if the fates gave Merlin a second chance to set things right, stop Morgause once and for all and perhaps even save a friend.

The Labyrinth of Gedref... with a twist. In the show Arthur was partially transformed into a donkey, Gwen fully transformed into a deer, and even Freya is cursed to be a bastet. What if Arthur had to experience what it was like being cursed into an animal and had to find a way to break the curse and pass Ahnora's tests completely on his own and without Merlin?

So who will marry?... Arthur will. Full summary inside
