    Summary

    Mordred never meant to be knighted while being a teenager. It just sort of, happened. Yes, it was against the law to be a knight and be under 18 summers old, but that wasn't Mordred's fault. On top of that, Mordred was much more than a simple 15 year old.

    With Morgana back in Camelot and everyone happier, Mordred can't help but think something will happen. And, something does in fact happen. After an incident in training, everyone finds out about Mordred's true age. After that, the people around Mordred find out more and more about how much Mordred has truly been hiding from them.

    Things that all of them wished they could fix.

    Or

    The knights of Camelot (+merlin) find out that Mordred is not even 16 years old. They are not amused.

    Now, Mordred is being treated like a child by everyone around him. But after he's been through... maybe it's for the best?

    Summary

    Merlin - raised by the druids - was taught that his destiny is for Arthur Pendragon to die at his hands, and that would end the Great Purge. It was Emrys who would restore magic to the lands, following the burial of the Pendragon dynasty.

    One day, the druids Merlin had grew up with had stained their hands with something similar to Emrys’s sins - they had captured a small group of passer-byers that posed a threat. Two knights from Camelot were among the four.

    Emrys had the displeasure of dealing with the intruders first, having to intimidate them until someone with higher authority would decide whether killing them would secure their safety.

    Unfortunately, Merlin had always been a curious boy.

    He has yet to discover that trying to be anything more than a murderer to these men would be where he met destiny. He was talking with the reason he was born.

    What happens when he betrays everything he’s learned just to hope that this prince would reach out over a chance to love? What happens when he binds himself to Arthur using magic?

    Will he meet the conditions of being open to learning magic? Will Merlin ever have to meet his own conditions; saving an anti-magic man from danger?

    Summary

    Magic has been legalized. Camelot and the court are getting used to it. But still, Arthur knows better than anyone how quickly a kingdom can change from one reign to another, and he wants to make sure that the protections he has in place for magic users are harder to unbind than just the slash of a quill through rewritten laws.

    So he goes to the Druids. Proposes a formal treaty.

    He doesn't expect it to come in the form of a marriage proposal, and he really doesn't expect it to be Emrys they want him to marry.

    -or-

    The one where Arthur tries to make a treaty and ends up marrying Emrys instead. He's got no idea that Merlin is Emrys.

    Summary

    Merlin is tired. Magic had been dying for ages, and he'd tried to stave it off but to no avail. So now the apocalypse has descended upon humanity, and he is so, so tired. So in true Merlin fashion he had to do one last stupid thing, but truly, he couldn't possibly harness that kinda power, right? In his last moments he wished for when things were simpler, before things had turned to right shit.

    He hadn't expected it to work. What was he supposed to do now? Could he fix everything?

    Summary

    Merlin follows Arthur on his quest to the Perilous lands, returning not just with his friend alive and well but also a new kingdom. Magic has lost so much from the purge and the years after and the first rule of magic is that there must be balance, so it gives back. Creating the Kingdom of Oplaria, ruled by King Emrys.

    But Merlin is not so keen to abandon his destiny and Arthur, he spends his time between the two Kingdoms constantly torn between his friendship with Arthur and his duty to his people and magic. He is good at secret identities after all.

    But with Arthur constantly sidelining Merlin how long can he make excuses to stay?
    And how much will this change not only the Prophecy but also the future of Albion?

    This is follows the show from Season 3 episode 8 -> Season 4 episode 13 but will include storylines from other episodes.

    If like me you loved all the side characters well then get ready to get a lot more time with them (especially if you love Mithian, Elena and Vivian).

    Or,

    Basically "Deliver Us" from the Prince of Egypt and Merlin being Daenerys Targaryen

    Summary

    Arthur accompanies his court sorcerer to a Druid Winter Solstice celebration, stepping into an ancient magic he never imagined embracing. As woad marks awaken otherworldly power in Merlin—revealing glimpses of the divine Emrys beneath his friend's familiar face—Arthur confronts the vastness of what he doesn't understand, and what he cannot live without. A quiet night in the woods becomes a turning point in their bond.

    Written for the Round Table Gift Exchange 2025.

    Summary

    “Merlin was too driven by grief for his other half that he turned back time, but magic like this always has a price. For Merlin to turn back time he had to give up his memories of that time.”

    Or, merlin resets time to the day he enters Camelot and meets Arthur and looses his memories, but everyone and I mean EVERYONE remembers the past timeline

    Or, the time travel fix it trope but merlin is the only one who doesn’t know about the past lifetime.

    (Ignore that Chapter 4 is actually Chapter 3, i’ll fix it when I get the chance.)
