PART THREE of my Merlin series. It's rumored that Morgause is leading attacks on some border villages, her first appearance in a year. Merlin is confident he has the power to finally finish her off, but the sorceress has a few tricks up her sleeve, and in an unexpected turn of events, Merlin ends up being the one fighting for his life.

A new fashion trend has hit Camelot, but Arthur isn't a fan.

Balinor escapes Camelot after Uther kills all of the Dragonlords, leaving behind a pregnant Hunith. Years later, Merlin, who struggles to conceal his magic, befriends Prince Arthur. Their bond is tested when Arthur learns of Merlin's magic, but his loyalty to Merlin remains steadfast, though their relationship is marred by the weight of secrets and struggle for equality.

On a hunting trip gone wrong, Arthur discovers Merlin's magic and banishes him - but not before making a wish he'll come to regret. The next day, Arthur has no memory of the magic, and wakes up to a Camelot that is not his own. Everything is different, everyone seems terrified of him, and worst of all… Merlin has vanished without a trace, as if he never existed in the first place.

Arthur's birthday is coming, and Merlin is just trying to survive. Arthur's being more of a pain than usual, accusing Merlin of being at the core of every noble's desires. Oh, and that Merlin can't possibly have a loved one, because he's far too annoying for anyone to put up with. Arthur's right, but Merlin has a plan to wipe that smug look off the prince's face.

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?

A strange coach rolls into Camelot on a dark and stormy night. Written as a one-shot for camelot drabble at LJ (prompt: "coach"), but I might add to it if inspiration strikes.

Merlin and Gwen accidentally overhear a kitchen maid's vocabulary lesson. Earlyish S4.

Gaius and Alice have some catching up to do. Set during 3x09, after Merlin agrees to let Alice use his room but before he sees the mantichor. Written for camelot drabble at LJ.

A love story, told at first through a series of letters, and concluding with a ball. (A Merthian slow-burn romance, set at an undisclosed and fictional point in the canon timeline - think Regency era romance with a dash of magic)

Merlin and Arthur go on recon mission. However, nothing ever goes as planned, and they get separated. Merlin is kidnapped. Arthur must find a way to rescue his ever loyal servant before the war begins. But what will he do when he sees Merlin at Morgana's side? What had she done to get the mighty Emrys to lead her army? Is Merlin still the Merlin Arthur was so desperate to rescue?

Merlin didn't make it out of his encounter with the Lamia unscathed, or so Arthur thinks when he slays the beast and finds Merlin slumped against a wall and bleeding. When he learns the true source of the injuries he is furious. Cue hurt Merlin and a caring, very worried Arthur. End of the Lamia episode but established Merthur, and the knights actually injured Merlin.

After Morgana attacks Helva, Merlin must find whatever she is after before she does. With the help of a stranger, it seems possible. Or is the stranger just leading him to his death?

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 10: Numbers. Cross-posted on AO3.

As civil unrest stirs in Camelot, Arthur's knights and close friends contend with their own challenges and internal battles.

Merlin never expected waiting for Arthur to return would be so hard, but he's watched everyone he has ever loved die and been alone for longer than anyone ever should. He's ready to give up, alone and desperate, when a fateful encounter changes everything. Only with it comes new dangers, old friends, and a renewal of an ancient destiny. The time to return magic to Camelot has come.

The love story Merlin and Arthur should have had around season 3 or 4. (In this story, Gwen knows about Merlin's magic for narrative purposes).

After being injured in a freak accident, Arthur has no idea what this new life is. He has managed to get along rather well, yet continues to dream of old castles and a raven-haired girl. Morgana LeFay has always had strange dreams. When she finds the dreams getting overwhelmingly like real life, despite being all about the past, she runs into someone who changes it all

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...

Arthur is found wounded by druids who take him back to their camp. He is tortured for information on Camelot by the chief druid, a man named Emrys. Despite their unconventional relationship, and having never seen the man with his own eyes, Arthur begins to fall for Emrys and the druid life. (Arthur/Merlin)

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. :)

Merthur. During Merlin's absence, jealous Arthur is tortured by his suspicions. Possessive Arthur. Events take place at the end of s5ep08 and a little bit after it. Mostly gap fillers. There are also would be some outtakes and flashbacks. Slightly AU because Arthur and Merlin are involved in a secret relationship that started somewhere between the second and third seasons.

PART TWO of my Merlin series. The Round Table Knights find out about Merlin's magic.

PART ONE of my Merlin series. Arthur has been King of Camelot for two years. After a woman is brought in who has been accused of sorcery, Arthur must make a decision that has the potential to affect the rest of his reign. Merlin can't let him make such a monumental decision without telling his king and friend the complete truth, whatever the consequences. No Slash.

When Albion's need is greatest, the Once and Future King will rise again. Unfortunately for Merlin, it is not the king he expects.
