In an alternate universe, Morgana Le Fay is the beautiful and well-renowned daughter of the Governor Uther, and Gwen is a maidservant struggling with a grief she cannot put down. But when a dark secret of Morgana's comes to light, will the two find comfort in one another's circumstances? Or will the inevitability of fate and a chosen destiny overtake all?

This picks up at the end of season 3 with the full complement of knights... While Arthur struggles managing his duties to the kingdom and to his ailing father, Merlin's life is turned upside down by a mysterious illness and his mother's deepest secret. An enemy approaches, ever closer, with dark magic. Includes Lancelot, Gwaine, Percival, Leon, Uther and Gwen.

In which Merlin decides it is probably best not to trust the man Julius Borden. Instead, he decides it's high time he trusts the ones who matter most. A 4x04 Aithusa AU, told from Arthur's POV.

Parce qu'Arthur veut vraiment partir AVEC Merlin

La raison pour laquelle Arthur se lève le matin ...

Instead of Lancelot, Gwaine shows up and kills the griffin. Not wanting to mess with nobles, he lies about his heritage to avoid getting knighted. Merlin still doesn't see a problem.

Just Merlin and Mordred having a dramatic conversation about their magic.

Merlin has loved 5 times.

Obligatory 5 times fic. Moving from the archive because I've been locked out of that account.

Arthur Pendragon was not a sorcerer. No, he was something a lot worse. An Omega. He was a creature born of magic, made of magic and he was destined to be the other half of a sorcerer one day. He was a conduit for magic and he could be the difference between life and death, peace and war. If he ever stopped repressing and learnt to accept who he was. Arthur/Merlin

In which Merlin and Arthur both let slip a casual "I love you" and don't realise it until an hour or so later.

Arthur always loved to draw but when his father refused to allow it, Arthur left it all behind. Until he met Merlin.

The first kiss was definitely an accident. The rest of them, not so much.

S1 AU. Ever since the Great Purge, Uther Pendragon is known far and wide as the most powerful man in all of Albion. His strength is unmatched. His will is absolute. Camelot is riddled in dark secrets however, that Uther would stop at nothing to protect. So what happens when the Lady Morgana discovers the truth. Locked high in the tower, lies a lonely boy. His name, Merlin...

One day, when Merlin and the knights were all drunk, they convinced Merlin to reveal his deepest secret (that he is only pretending to be hopeless with a sword because he doesn't want to help during training) Shenanigans ensue

Even after peace had come to Camelot, Arthur couldn't shake the feeling that he was missing something - someone - important.

Following the events from the first season with few changes, Merlin acts more sensible, and smarter instead of running head-first into trouble. He finds another mentor and learns more about the Old Religion in the journey of finding himself.

The sequel to The Ties That Bind, Where I Belong continues with Merlin’s journey to rid the bad magic from the Kingdoms and aims to restore the good. However, as Merlin sets out on his journey, is it all that it seems to be? What is the real reason behind Merlin’s calling and will it turn out the way it is supposed to happen? Will magic be restored and will Albion be saved?

"When Arthur finally managed to find himself at the entrance of the cave, destruction met his eyes. The smell of burning flesh and the raw screams that echoed in his ears were all too familiar. And then, at the far end, among the burning trees, flaming the fires, was the same creature of destruction. A fire breathing dragon."

"A hundred and twenty three men, women and children. All of them, his people. All of them, dead." In the aftermath of the dragon's attack, there were things to be done. Funerals to be held. People to be remembered. Cannon compliant

Arthur was dying on the hands of his best friend. There were many things he wanted make right, and one of them was not to let Merlin face everything alone. "I just wish I could have been there for you, all these years" was Arthur's last wish. The Old Religion cannot ignore the plea of a dying man pure of heart, and this time Arthur will be there for his friend. TimeTravel!Arthur

Ever wonder how Merlin managed to wrangle 'Sir William of Deira' into their half-baked plan in 'Once and Future Queen? Well, wonder no longer! With humor, spunkiness and lots of vegetables, Gwen and Merlin find their perfect double for the prince while making Arthur a little (deservedly) miserable in the meantime. Warning: This fic is a little cheesy :)

The Once and Future King and The People's Queen are finally together. The most loyal of Arthur's knights now form the Knights of the Round Table. And Merlin? Merlin is still a servant. Alone in his room he thinks of the two sides of a coin; when it hits the ground, which side will stay forgotten? He thinks he knows the answers. He refuses to be a shadow of a man. UPDATED SPORADICLY

He'd probably tell Arthur later that he'd felt extremely guilty about ruining his shirt, but in all honesty he barely considered it for a second. The prince had enough in his wardrobe, he could spare one to help Merlin make it halfway across the castle without bleeding out. (Set in s02e02. The assassin lurking in Arthur's chambers isn't so quick to let Merlin leave.)

Do you believe in prophecy, Merlin? Or do you make your own Fate? [Post S4, Canon Divergence, Reveal, Part 3/3]
