    Summary

    Morgana's back in Camelot, but she's more alone than ever, having cast a spell that's made everyone forget about her magic. Forced back into the position she was in a year ago, she's determined that she won't feel as hopeless. She's a High Priestess now, and she has her sister firmly in her corner. As more things about the year she missed come to light however, she'll have to grapple with wondering whether she made the right choice- and whether her heart can take any more secrets being revealed.

    Summary

    Based on this: (my post, but I altered it a bit)
    Arthur is granted a wish.

    After years of obliviousness, Arthur has grown an awareness for how blind he is, so he wishes to be able to see people for who they really are.

    That's how he begins to see people dressed differently than before. He sees servants dressed like people of the court, he sees closeted people finally representing as themselves, he sees his wife with an eternal crown over her head.

    And then he sees a man walking into his rooms. His face held high, his eyes golden. His face and hands are scarred all over and Arthur knows it's emotional scars. But the man glows, his clothes that worthy of a king, no. A god.

    Only when the man opens his mouth and pulls away the curtains, does it dawn on Arthur whose in front of him.

    "Rise and shine :D"

    Summary

    “Well, I was thinking -”, Arthur began, but Merlin interrupted him. As always.
    “YOU- thinking? Now I'm getting worried.”
    “My plans are always well thought through. Just so you know.”
    “I think we both know who of us does the thinking and what happens, when you leave me out of your plans.”

     

    Alternatively:
    Arthur makes a plan to get Percival and Gwaine together. His plan involved a fake relationship with none other than Merlin Emrys himself. His best friend.
    And crush, obviously. Yes, Arthur's plans are very well thought through.... as one can imagine

    Summary

    Arthur was the king Once. That Once ended at Camlann, leaving his wife and best friend to grieve for him.

    But there is the promise that Arthur will be king in the Future. The only thing is that no one knows when that Future will be.

    But what if, what if it came far sooner than anyone was expecting?

    The promises of the future would all come true, and Camelot would never be the same again.

    Summary

    After Arthur disobeyed his father and retrieved the Mortaeus flower for Merlin's cure, Arthur's frantic pleading to save Merlin led to a misunderstanding that actually convinced Uther to take the flower to Gaius.

    Now all Arthur has to do is explain to Merlin why Uther thinks they are lovers.

    And while Uther is supportive of the relationship, he requires it kept secret. But in his paranoia, Uther misinterprets every innocent interaction between the two as something far more intimate, to the embarrassment of everyone involved.

    And then the knights begin showing up...

    Update 27/04/2024: This is long and in-process. So consider a break between story arcs!

    Arc 1 - (chapters 1-32, 90k words) What happens when you accidentally tell your father you're gay and in love with Merlin and he ships it hard? You make it true.
    Arc 2 - (chapters 33-70, 110k words) What happens when your father sends you to court someone you have no interest in? Side quests and Gwaine.
    Arc 3 - (chapters 71 , in progress) What happens when your father invites every eligible woman to Camelot so you can find your wife like you promised in exchange for saving Merlin? Chaos.

    When Arthur was eight, Morgana Gorlois came to live in Camelot.

    When Arthur was ten, he met two princesses from nearby kingdoms: Mithian of Nemeth and Elena of Gawant.

    When Arthur was twenty, a cheeky peasant boy mouthed off to him.

      Merlin - the brave man with the sword by astranix (series)

      ***

      [Part 1] like a purple robe: There's just something about Arthur Pendragon. People can't quite put their finger on it.

      [Part 2] in tongues sure as thunder: When Morgana is being taken to Camelot, she only has one thing in mind and it's that she will absolutely hate it.

      [Part 3] where the dead men lost their bones: Ygraine's son is going to be magic, Nimueh knows from the very beginning.

      [Part 4] but i will be out in broad daylight then: “I told you that,” Arthur says, teeth grit and face red, “in confidence.”

      “And I am confident that you’re finally losing it,” Morgana replies, with an innocent smile. “The walls aren’t talking to you.”

    Summary

    “What’s Merlin up to, Gaius?”

    Gaius isn’t listening. His eyes are wide and horrified but suddenly focused on something behind him, something outside of the window.

    Before the knights can turn around to catch it, the door flies open yet again. The force behind it so strong that it nearly falls off it’s hinges.

    Familiar eyes meet his own.

    Merlin’s eyes.

    Merlin is back, coming right through the door.

    But he isn’t walking. He’s falling through the door and landing on the hard floor before Gwaine can even register what’s happening.

    “Merlin?” Sir Leon rushes to his side, his voice quiet.

    Merlin is right in front of him. Blood soaked and filthy. Covered scrapes and bruises. Crying out for no one in particular.

    And it’s the most battered Gwaine has seen him.

    (Or, Merlin disappears without explanation, leaving Gwaine worried to death.

    Luckily, the sorcerer returns.

    Beaten and battered.)

    Summary

    Arthur knows about Merlin's magic. He's practically always known.
    He was more concerned over the fact that Merlin kept falling asleep EVERYWHERE.
    Not that he minds much.

    Summary

    “Don’t you feel it?” Arthur felt desperate. Someone needed to tell him that he wasn’t going crazy or getting sick, because this was deeply concerning. It felt like something was MISSING from himself, but not as in ‘lost’. More like it was blown away in a storm.

    “Feel what?”

    “It’s like… something’s cut. Off. Misplaced. Taken away. Carved out of the air. Something is deeply … wrong.” There was also the feeling of something having snapped back into place, but right now that wasn’t the part that concerned him.

    Gwaine frowned. “And you think Merlin can fix it?”

    Arthur huffed a breath, the feeling was getting worse. He clutched his hand tighter around his heart. “No.” His voice was breaking as the feeling puzzled itself together in his mind, setting him into a full blown panic. “Something’s wrong with HIM.”

    Summary

    Arthur was born of magic. Scared and unsure of how to use his power and a father who hates all that is magic, will he and his new friend Merlin be able to learn and co-exist in a world that was made of magic?
    Who will magic call her own in the end?

    Excerpt:
    “Can magic corrupt a person?” Arthur hated how weak he sounded, but it is truly something he didn’t understand and he wanted to know the truth.
    “Is a sword evil or good?” Merlin countered the question slightly. He knows that Arthur needs to see that magic is neutral that it is the wielder who manipulates it.
    “Neither.” Arthur gave Merlin an unsure look.

    Summary

    The girl tilted her head slightly to the side. “You will be alright Sire, your father is underestimating you. Keep going, this won’t last long.” She closed her hand over Arthur’s.
    His eyes widen as he stared at her. “How?” The words came out with a force.
    “I am a seer, Sire. Your faith isn’t with him.” She trailed off before she squared her shoulders. “Your destiny lies with the Warlord. He is your destiny.”

    Summary

    A whine almost escaped his throat when there was suddenly a hand against his nap. Arthur tried to take controlled breaths, but he was sure that the only thing in the air around him was his fear. The man leaned down, his nose trailing down to his scent gland. Arthur’s hands went to his knees clutching them as if his life depends on it.

    Summary

    The first time Merlin dies, he almost takes Arthur with him.

    Leon is the only one who sees it: Arthur’s face, bleak and bloodless; the determined set of his jaw as he sends his men away. His hands are smeared with red, but the way he looks at Merlin it’s like he’s the one dying, his heart’s blood spilling onto the too-hard ground.

    A companion piece to all our dead, unfinished selves, but can be read as a stand-alone.

    Summary

    The woods are quiet. Merlin stares up at the leafless branches and thinks about the taste of blood in his mouth, wet and thick but always better than ash. He breathes in slowly. Breathes out. When he sits up, Arthur turns on him with his dagger drawn, blue eyes wild, and Merlin barely flinches.

    “You killed me once, Arthur,” he says, soft. “Can you do it again?”

    Inspired by this tumblr post.
