    Summary

    'Magic is as much part of nature as the earth, sea and sky. Other sorcerers who sought out the circle found that their power developed certain affinities. Their abilities became tied to the cycle of the year. There would be one season at which their power was at its peak and another where it lay almost dormant. They became more closely connected to the natural ebb and flow of the world.'

    'But?'

    'But they were not Emrys. His strength is beyond anything in living memory, and the heights he could reach are, as yet, unknown.' Aglain spread his hands, his shoulders rolling in a graceful shrug. 'I can only tell you that the Tir Na Lei means no harm. Three is the number: the ritual is set. The circle will not call on Emrys again.'

    ______

    In a Camelot where Arthur is king and magic is permitted once more, Merlin's power begins to change. Can he and Arthur overcome the challenges thrown their way, or will their relationship be forever changed by the ordeal?

    Summary

    The Dueling Club met Friday evening.

    Arthur was already setting up when Merlin arrived, late as usual, expression gleefully unhelpful.

    “I’m here for moral support,” he said, conjuring a chair from the floor and sitting in it sideways.

    “You’re here to make my life difficult,” Arthur muttered.

    “Same thing.”

    Or…

    Arthur and Merlin get a job! At Hogwarts, for sword-related purposes.

    Summary

    Uther finds out about Merlin's magic. Though he is intent on trying to kill Merlin, it never seems to stick, so they agree on a sort of truce in the meanwhile.

    Arthur would be completely oblivious to all this going on, except that he accidentally stumbled upon the very first meeting between his father and Merlin, and now he has to deal with the utter chaos they think he doesn't know about.

    Summary

    After the repeal of the magic ban in Camelot, the kingdom entered a new era of peace with Merlin as Court Sorcerer. But not everyone has forgotten the sins of the past. When a high priest attacks Camelot with an army and a dangerous spell, Merlin must protect Camelot the only way he knows how, his magic.

    Casting a spell that will protect the entire kingdom as long as he maintains it, Merlin is forced to put his abilities to the limit as the siege drags on. With the help and comfort from his closest friends, will Merlin be able to save Camelot from this evil, or will his magic fail him?

    Summary

    “The boy has bewitched you, Arthur. Lord only knows for how long,” Uther decreed. Saying so aloud made it true. That was how Camelot worked.

    “His name is Merlin!” Arthur roared, his feet spurring him closer to the king without his mind’s consent. “If you are planning on executing him, at least have the guts to speak his name!”

    Summary

    Merlin had failed. Despite all his efforts, Arthur had ended up dead in his arms on the shores of Avalon, so close to salvation. Surely, this could not be how their shared destiny was supposed to end? No, it was all Merlin’s fault—he had made all the wrong choices, misinterpreting prophecy after prophecy. If only he could go back and try again, now that he knew better, maybe he could right his wrongs. Maybe he— Oh. Maybe he could go back…

    Ignoring Kilgharrah’s protests about the impossibility of what he aimed to do, Merlin let all his power loose, becoming one with the fabric of the world and the magic he was born of. After following the bond he shared with Arthur through the winding paths of time, he finally emerged a decade into the past, having successfully seized a second chance to get this whole destiny thing right. Unfortunately, he would have to win Arthur’s trust all over again, seeing as Merlin was alone in remembering anything of the future he was hoping to change. Or…was he?

      Bookmark Notes:

      Separating his consciousness from his body like this was starting to become a habit, and it was getting easier and easier, if not less strenuous. Melting into the diffuse plane of pure magic meant a certain relinquishing of control; manipulating the magic in this state was not conducive to precise results, it was more like shaping it into the vague idea of his intent. This time, however, he was not aiming to manipulate anything, just to discover.

      The blazing bond between himself and Arthur shone brighter and stronger than ever, and it was child’s play to simply follow that connection and let his consciousness seep into the glowing shape that was Arthur. Oh. The feeling that welcomed him as he did so felt like…home. He knew this energy and it knew him, enveloping him in a warm embrace made warmer still by something small and glowing at the centre—something he had not sensed being there before, yet it felt neither new nor foreign.

      He sent out a wordless question to this little ember at the core of Arthur’s being, brushing up against it in greeting, and the moment he touched it it flared up into something bigger and brighter, only calming down as he withdrew a little bit, but even then he could sense that it was slowly expanding of its own accord, sending out little tendrils of curiosity like a seed germinating and growing roots.

    Summary

    The sky is covered in rain clouds. Dark and heavy they hang from the heavens, promising muddy shoes and clammy skin.
    Tonight is the night.

    Merlin takes a deep breath and smells the life within the air. It won’t be long until this same breeze will smell of death and blood. Instead of laughter or silent anticipation, he will hear the screams of his slaughtered enemies and tend to the wounds of his men. It will smell like victory. It will be the end of a century-old war.

    Magic is trickling down his veins, reminding him of the promise to his father. Tonight is the night that Camelot will fall. He clenches his fists. Tonight is the night that he will finally kill Arthur Pendragon.

    Alternatively: Merlin and Arthur are Kings from enemy kingdoms. Just when they are about to kill each other, their bodies are switched and they have to pretend to be negotiating peace.

    Summary

    "I know what you want," Merlin says, hoarse. Arthur stares at him, beseeching. Merlin closes the fine oak door behind him and locks it deftly, used to the mechanism after so many years in Arthur's service.

    Summary

    Merlin is struck with a curse while he and the knights are out on patrol. He must confess his darkest secret or he will die. Arthur thinks he already knows what Merlin is gonna confess, trying to coax him into saying it, but what happens when what he's expecting isn't what comes out?

    Or

    “Damn it, Merlin, the witch said this curse would kill you if you didn’t confess! It’s one secret, just say it! I won’t care no matter how deep and dark it is, but I will care if my useless servant dies taking it to his grave!”

    Summary

    “Have I ever been a good manservant?” Merlin asked, because he couldn’t very well say ask me for something else and see what I wouldn’t give to you. It should have been more insulting that this of all things was what finally made Arthur relax.

    Merlin confuses a typical favor with one of the gift-giving, courtly variety when Camelot hosts a winter tournament. Arthur tries his hand at courtship.

    Summary

    One night. It was more than Merlin had ever hoped for, and yet not enough to fill the empty well carved deep into his soul. But one night with Arthur would just have to last him a lifetime.
    It could be enough.
    It would be enough.
    But who could blame Merlin for keeping a little souvenir?
