    Summary

    Merlin isn't the first servant Arthur found a friend in. The daughter of one of his childhood nannies, Eira, has served as his maidservant her entire life. When Merlin is appointed as Arthur's permanent manservant, and the assignment goes well, Eira is reassigned - only no one asked for her to be reassigned.

    Eira's life spirals out of control, the new knights start to take advantage of their station, Merlin decides he needs to protect her, and Arthur is determined to figure out what's happened to leave a bad taste in his mouth without knowing Eira's been reassigned. Featuring good!Uther (as good as Uther can get), protective!Morgana, and Arthur's morally ambiguous attempts to keep both his servants alive and safe with guest appearances by various Knights of the Round Table!

    Sequel to “Trillium”.
    So, they did it. Arthur and Merlin defeated the rebel barons on Camlann and ascended to the throne of Camelot. Morgana and Mordred suffered the druid massacre, but managed to regain faith in the Once and Future King. But as what was called the Golden Age unfolds, they begin to wonder: was it all worth it? As they seek their place in the new Albion, amid its forest roads and grand castles, they wonder who they are in the story of Arthur and Merlin: heroes or villains?

    Summary

    Morgana has no one after her father dies.
    Which is alright, because Arthur doesn't really have anyone either.
    The plan is to look out for each other, if no one else will, and it's going well until Morgana realizes she is the exact type of person Uther and Arthur hate.

    Summary

    Arthur Pendragon just left a bad relationship and is living by himself for the first time. He's struggling to deal with the aftermath of coming out to his unaccepting father, the strain in his relationships since leaving his ex, and the slightly deranged neighbor who claims to know him from thousands of years ago. Well, that last part is sort of a new edition, one that he doesn't really mind all that much. It's kind of entertaining.

    (OR: Arthur returns but doesn't remember anything about Camelot or the Warlock who has been waiting hundreds of years for him. Merlin takes the appropriate amount of revenge for that.)

    Summary

    This is a different take on an old story.

    Merlin and Arthur develop the friendship of a lifetime. But someone attempts to break it - a mysterious Master - leaving Arthur to grow up under the cold hand of his father, Uther Pendragon. without his sister or best friend

    On the day his betrothed, Princess Mithian, is set to arrive, Morgana returns after all these years to propose Merlin's hand in marriage to Arthur instead, as an experiment that those with magic can coexist with normal people.

    In this change of plan, Agravaine has to rearrange his players in the game of revenge against the royal family. Could he be working with this Master as well in the pursuit of power?

    Can Merlin earn Arthur's trust again after leaving? Or will Camelot fall into the hands of a corrupted Agravaine seeking vengeance if Arthur can't see that those he loves came back for him?

    Summary

    “Aithusa, you need to get off me,” I laughed softly as the tiny white dragon tickled the back of my neck, her claws luckily didn’t hurt, they just tickled. A growling chirp was her reply as she grabbed a mouthful of my hair. She tugged playfully at my long locks and yelped as I pulled her off me and cradled her in my arms.

    “You spoil her,” A smile spread across my face as I look up at my mother.

    “Well she is mine after all,” I chuckled softly as I gently tossed the baby dragon onto my bed.

    Summary

    “Arthur froze.

    He was still recognisable, just by his clothes, just by his walk, just by his hands, white, brittle nails, covered in dirt. He was the only one to realise, it seemed, but how could Arthur not know him? He knew him like the sun rising in the East, knew him like the colour of the sky, or the shape of his own teeth. Arthur had learned him like a secret, kept him as a promise, known him as a fact. He knew this man, even before he was shoved to his knees in front of the dais.

    It was Merlin.

    Merlin, who was supposedly dead. Yet there he was.”

     

    OR: During a bandit attack, Merlin dies risking his life for his now-heartbroken prince. But when Merlin returns to Camelot, alive and unharmed, more than one secret is revealed, and more than one betrayal is made…

    OR: Merlin dies. A LOT. Until Arthur finally gets his royal head out of his royal ass.

    WARNING: Since I am lazy, and since there is graphic death in this, I will be putting the trigger warnings for each chapter in the end chapter notes when necessary to save spoilers.

    UPDTATE TIMES may vary, but am aiming for once every fortnight minimum.

    Enjoy :)

    Summary

    Merlin had been given a choice.

     

    Admitting the truth about what Morgause had said, admitting that Uther was indeed responsible for the Purge and Ygraine's death would have meant freedom for Merlin and for all those who had magic.

     

    But Arthur would suffer.

     

    Lying about the truth, lying about what Uther had done, once again covering the king from the consequences of his own actions… it would have spared Arthur the pain of losing another parent. It would save Uther, a man who had never had compassion for anything or anyone, once again.

     

    It would make Arthur hate magic once and for all.

     

    Make Arthur hate Merlin, the profound nature of what Merlin was, forever.

    Summary

    What if... Merlin was the only and future queen/king destined to be at Arthur's side?
    What if... Uther had a good reason to banish magic?
    What if... Morgana's mother ruled alongside Uther?
    What if....Arthur Pendragon suffered a terrible and cruel curse that would dictate his future forever?

     

    What if the dragon didn't tell everything about the prophecy?
