    Summary

    Maryana returns to Camelot alive—but survival has a cost.

    Her escape from captivity leaves the court shaken, the king fearful, and the city bristling with suspicion. Old alliances strain under the weight of secrets, and the laws against magic tighten even as something ancient stirs beyond the castle walls.

    Hidden within Camelot is a boy the world was never meant to find. His presence bends fate in subtle, dangerous ways—drawing attention from forces that do not yet understand what they have awakened.

    As Arthur is pulled between loyalty and justice, and Morgana begins to walk a darker, more deliberate path, Maryana is forced to confront a truth she has spent years avoiding: destiny cannot be outrun—only challenged.

    Because when the old world begins to fracture, the dawn does not arrive gently.
    And some futures demand to be fought for.

    Summary

    Told episode by episode alongside canon, this series explores all the hidden Uther/Morgana moments, and the ways Arthur, Merlin, and especially Gwen navigate it all by her side.

    Full series rewrite. Everything stays the same until near the end of season 2, I've just filled in what I suspect was happening behidn the scenes with Morgana/Uther and Morgana/Gwen. Morgana never turns truly evil.

    I'm bad at summaries. Lots of Morgana whump.

    Summary

    Morgana knows about her magic. And she’s spent 20 years learning from Uther that it’s a dark rotten thing. She doesn’t deserve Gwen’s clean, warm fingers that run through her hair. Doesn’t deserve anything at all.

    Summary

    Unsatisfied with his current life, Merlin takes a sabbatical from work and explores the British coastline to clear his head of life's mundaneness. On his return from Cornwall, he comes across a young blonde girl attempting to hitch-hike along the motorway. Fearing for her safety, Merlin offers her a ride home.

    Upon entering the small town of Cam-Lott, Merlin makes a lasting impression on Police Chief Arthur Pendranyl and starts a chain of events that have him seeing the inside of a jail cell more often than not. When he isn't being an errand-boy or stumbling upon strange trinkets in forest caves, Merlin slots into the small town life with ease. Between summer faire's, camping trips and hiking, Merlin almost forgets that no one in the town -except one -has left the towns perimeter.

    Why has no one left? Why are his memories feeling hazier by the day? And why, oh why, is there a sword buried in a stone?

    Summary

    Arthur Pendragon didn't hate Magic.
    He simply couldn't trust it.
    His father, Uther Pendragon despised magic.
    He feared it.
    That's why Arthur was forced to fight his father's battles.

    Merlin is magic.
    His whole existence is magic.
    But his destiny was Arthur and he would do anything for him.
    Even if it meant to fight against his own kind.

    In which Uther Pendragon sends his son into war, despite the prophecy claiming bad things to unfold.

    Or: I've read “The song of Achilles” and couldn't stop myself from writing this, because Arthur and Merlin are Achilles and Patroclus coded.

    Secrets unravel. Loyalties are tested. And somewhere between betrayal and forgiveness, they begin to build something new from the ruins.
    This time, by their own hands.

    Summary

    "Morgana," Gwen said with her soft, gentle smile, always understanding, stepping forward to close her callused hands around Morgana's, just barely rough from her recent bouts. "What are you doing out here? It's freezing." It's midnight, she didn't add.

    OR

    Merlin grows up hating Uther and is more than happy to ignore the dragon and his yapping about his destiny.

    Summary

    There was salty water beading down his brow, flowing across his temple, making a trail down his cheek, past his neck before finally soaking into his already damp neckerchief. The uncomfortable feeling of his skin drenched through with sweat. His head foggy and his mind barely gripping onto consciousness. His limbs weighed down and drained quite completely. Every movement feeling like he was moving through honey. His energy near gone. Dizzy and disoriented. 

    Tired. He was so very tired.

    Summary

    Merlin tułał się po świecie przez wiele lat, doskonale zdając sobie sprawę z tego, że Albion przepadł razem ze śmiercią Artura. W pewnym momencie nawet udało mu się z tym pogodzić. Ba, zaczął nawet powoli zapominać, kim był i kogo znał. Tak przynajmniej mu się wydawało do dnia, gdy na jego posterunku pojawił się pewien wybitnie oszołomiony blondyn.
