AU:
In a world of humans, magics, vampires, and werewolves, Merlin is just trying to learn to control his powers.
What is it, to be a human? a witch? a vampire? a werewolf? Merlin can barely answer one of those questions, but now he finds himself having to answer all of them all at once.AKA: A was-supposed-to-be-rewrite of Merlin in a vampire/werewolf universe that ran off the rails and became something greater. (No longer a rewrite.)

Summary
Arlin Emrys Ambrosius pendragon is many things. Her grandpa Gaius likes to think of her as Devine retribution for all the things Merlin put him through. The one time she met her grandfather Uther he tried to kill her. She like to think it is because he was a murderous psychopath, but to be honest that's a stretch because he hadn't actually known she had magic at the time. Her dad's think she is a blessing from heaven but their standard for normality is a little skewed being Immortal kings of myth and legend and all. She also happens to be the only person in all of time and space capable of accidental time travel, to say her toddler years were unusual is the understatement of the millennia. And you just might find a few stories of those years in here but because of the immortality thing most of those stories include hundreds of years old men sprinting after her while yelling at an older version to fix it already. This is a compilation of her time travel mishaps.

i dont know how to do summaries well so heres my best try.
merlin. arthur. arthur must sacrifice someone to a dragon. to continue his fathers deal with said dragon. uther arranges the idea of a marriage for the sacrifice for some reason. (look i cant find a natrual coherent way for the marriage thing to make sense so it doesnt just go along with it)
merlin is sacrificed to a dragon but unknown to the people who threw him to the wolves (aka a single dragon) he has magic. he must use his magic in attempt to escape.
arthur feels guilty.
