    Summary

    *Title from Unknown/Nth by Hozier*

    Merlin, born without a father, with more secrets than he knew what to do with.
    Arthur Pendragon, born without a mother, with a secret that could have him killed.

    When Merlin arrives in Camelot, he is terrified of anyone learning of his magic, but he also has a tendency to run head first into danger. The two traits don't offten get along. After saving the life of a Prince who may not have deserved it, Merlin's life becomes more than the secret he kept close to his chest. It became about destiny, one that he apparently had to achieve with a Prince who was terrified of his future.

    Summary

    The skies lay darkened over the great city, and the prophecy sits in unrest. Camelot is run by darkness, betrayal, and deceit, and those who defended it lay in Avalon to rest. One more is soon to join them.
    When Morgana succeeds in taking over Camelot during the battle at Camlann, she is nothing less than a ruthless queen. Percival is to join his brothers in Avalon, but he would be leaving behind one in the castle dungeons, for a fate that he doesn't know. As the rope tightens around the neck of the Knight of the Round Table, he can only wonder: What has become of Merlin and Guinevere, and what will become of him?

    Summary

    When Merlin gets hit with a powerful spell, he loses his memory. The knights (plus Gwen) each try to help with getting Merlin to remember again in their own unique ways. In the end, though, it is Arthur who finds the breakthrough, and it's not in a way anyone was expecting.

    Summary

    Arthur died. He knows that. Arthur woke back up. He knew that, too. Except he woke up ten years ago, his time, which was only a year ago, now. Arthur's still trying to get his head wrapped around that one.

    Still, it appears to all be going according to plan. Or, it would be, if Merlin wasn't such an ass, Arthur could stop dreaming about Gwen, and Morgana could stop yelling at him for *one second.*

    When all is said and done, however, Arthur was more than willing to face those obstacles. His Knights were a different story.

    Summary

    “Long live the queen, long live the queen”

    The chant was raised around the throne room and with it, the hopes for Camelots future. An age of peace and prosperity for all.

    Arthur sits on the throne, alongside his fair and just queen. All appears well in the great city that Camelot has become but Arthur must still work to undo all the wrongs his father committed and with Morgana gone it is easier than ever to concentrate on what matters most.

    But what happens when destiny strikes twice? What happens when a third fate gets tangled into the mix. What happens when Morgana inadvertently unlocks a level of power it was thought only Merlin could possess?

    I’m going to be perfectly honest I’m not quite sure where this plot is going to go yet!

    Set between season 4 and 5 in the three year gap between the seasons! I might spill over into season five and maybe even do a premature magic reveal *gasp* who knows. I guess we’ll all find out together.

    Summary

    I realized I would never be able to find peace until I rewrote the last three seasons of Merlin to my liking, ie: more queer and trans and magical as shit.

    Reader suggestions/insights will be taken into consideration as I go. I have a rough outline for all three seasons, but there’s room for flexibility. Let me know your theories and predictions!

    Description:

    Merlin is the one who lost Morgana. If nothing else, he should be the one to bring her back. Question is, will she let him? And if so, how long until she gets him killed?

    Trigger warnings: some violence, animals in distress, descriptions of mental health issues (depression, anxiety, suicidality, etc.)

    Summary

    When Percival's caught alone by Morgana, she decides that the best way to mess with Arthur is to turn the knight into a bear and leave him to the mercy of the unforgiving wild, and he'll have to go through fire and flame if he wants to make it back home (in one human piece).

    Summary

    "And in all the pain he could feel peace filling all of their hearts. He could feel magic surrounding the campfire, feel as if everything was born anew. Arthur could feel the world, heal itself and come back to life. And it was beautiful."

    tl;dr sonfic based on "The Valley" by The Oh Hellos where Arthur reflects on how he changed under the influence of Merlin. And how much left to learn he has about the boy in question.

    Summary

    "And all he could do was just sit and watch. Watch how he gestured with his hands excitedly as he was talking, watch his eyes glow while telling his stories and explaining his recent studies, watch as his lips moved to form a smile he, oh so loved. Because truth to be told Merlin had him wrapped around his finger.

    And Arthur never opposed such an idea."

    tl;dr Arthur can't get enough of watching Merlin's lips. And of Merlin.

    Summary

    Dudley Dursley had not expected his life to change as drastically as it did when he found an ancient ring in his attic. And he had certainly not expected to suddenly (re)gain memories long lost - of a past life he hadn't known he'd once had - along with some new abilities.

    He's a sorcerer now. He remembers. And his name is Gilli.

    (Now all he has to do is deal with his new existential crisis about his magic, his magic-hating family, find anyone who might help him with this reincarnation thing, and maybe make some new friends on the way. Not necessarily in that order.)

    Summary

    "No dragon birth is without meaning. Sometimes the meaning is hard to see, but this time, I believe, it is clear. The white dragon bodes well for Albion, for you and Arthur, and for the land you will build together."

    Merlin couldn't have known the drastic effect that Aithusa would have on destiny. She was a good omen, after all, what's the worst that could happen? Other than healing Morgana... Merlin will just have to sort it out.
