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?

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!

Et si Merlin arrêtait de mentir ? Et si Morgane, Arthur et Gwen prenaient en main leur destin bien plus tôt ? Une histoire où la vérité bouleverse Camelot et où l'amour triomphe malgré les secrets et les trahisons. (Histoire en 6 chapitres)

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.

Book 3/3 The fate of an entire kingdom rests upon the shoulders of a young woman, the love of her life, and their best friend. Will they be able to find the strength to beat the hardships that come with that responsibility? Or will they break under the pressure? Or, in which Astraea Aphelion refuses to believe in 'fate'.

merlin and arthur finally marry for real (sequel to "intertwined" but can be read as a standalone)

with the reveal of his magic and no longer needing to hide any part of himself, merlin grows more comfortable in his skin and, without any need to lie, truth begins to bleed out of him...not that he realizes that. (arthur is painfully aware of it)

"love is giving someone the power to destroy you, but trusting them not to" arthur grapples with an immortal merlin who trusts arthur with his life (i promise it means more than you can imagine)

morgana paints merlin's lips red and he paints camelot the same (even her king) (...especially her king)

arthur has had enough of the tavern excuse and devotes himself to exposing the blatantly obvious lie he just wasn't expecting there to be so many more to follow

merlin and arthur have a chat under the stars in ealdor. technically part two to "rescue" but can be read as a standalone

Whenever Mordred has been to the Valley of the Fallen Kings, he sensed the trees breathing like slumbering green beasts. But today it felt different, there was an odd silence like the forest itself was mourning. Mordred wondered if it was because Magic was dying upon its floor.

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.

Nothing left him feeling more cold than the absence of what he once had, not the rain nor the near freezing…. Sometimes, he wished what happened to Will had happened to him instead. Sometimes he wishes he had been the one to die.

Au where Arthur is not fully unconscious when Merlin shows his magic to ghost Uther in the throne room, and spiraling from there.

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?

Cenrid needs an army and peasants make expendable soldiers. An AU for what would have happened if Merlin was conscripted into Essetir's army before coming to Camelot. Merlin's not as naive as he would have been had he just been a farmer. As such Merlin knows not to wholeheartedly trust advice from strangers (or dragons). Takes place at the start of season 1.
