    Summary

    Merlin has spent the past five years protecting Arthur and saving Camelot, all while being spurned by his friends. When Merlin is betrayed by someone who he thought was a friend, Merlin reevaluates his place in Camelot and his place by Arthur's side. Merlin decides he's been going about the situation with Morgana the wrong way. He can no longer wait for her attack. He needs a more direct approach.

    And if that direct approach gets him out of Camelot for awhile, then so be it.

    Merlin had lost people close to him. He could have prevented it but he was too weak - he was not strong enough. He finds himself back in Camelot fighting in the shadows under Uther's renewed vigour for hunting sorcerers. He will find out more about his family, his friends will know more about him and Merlin will have to make a choice, yet again, for the fate of Albion.

    Summary

    Fifteen hundred years. I’m sure it’s been fifteen hundred years because I’ve felt every single moment of it. Every draw of breath, every step on the hard ground, every ounce of stark reality has been obvious to me. I’m not the same as I was. Time has a way of digging deep into your spirit and settling its claws there.

    And I will wait. I have no choice, but I keep telling myself that wouldn’t matter.

    It might not matter.

    Would he even know me? Behind this familiar face is a creature who has lived the lives of hundreds of tortured souls. Does it show? Could he see the desperation there? If I made him look, really look...

    If he were here, I like to think I could be who I once was. Could feel the release of the claws of time like a weight coming off my chest. I like to think that weight would be erased. That I would be whole again.

    Have I only changed for the interim? Could that shroud be lifted for good?

    Summary

    Hi, friends! While I work on new content I thought I’d share this script I wrote for a creative writing class back in high school. I got a B- because I didn’t bother with perfect script format and got slightly carried away, but I’m sure you can forgive me for that. This hypothetical episode takes place after Sword in The Stone Pt 2, albeit in a slightly altered timeline. It can either be considered an immediate continuation from Agravaine's death scene or a new first episode of the fifth season. The major changes from canon are as follows:

    Arthur and Gwen’s relationship, canonically put on hold during season four by Agravaine being a dick, is still on hold during this time.

    Isolde is alive.

    Morgana never turned evil, and her magic is known to the audience but not to any other characters.

    The main villain of season 4 was Morgause, who worked with Agravaine. She was killed prior to Agravaine’s death in the previous episode.

    Everyone is just a tiny bit gayer.

    I’ll share it in parts to keep things interesting (and hopefully give myself time to edit it so that it is beyond a B- work.) I hope you enjoy!
