    Summary

    The fragile trust between Arthur and Merilyn is no longer a secret hope—it is real, tangible, and dangerously alive. For the first time, Arthur sees magic not as a weapon, but as part of the woman he loves. Their bond deepens, even as the shadow of destiny presses closer. But love does not erase the weight of prophecy, nor the enemies waiting to tear them apart.

    Yet the greatest revelation lies not in vengeance, but in blood. Merilyn’s long-buried secret, her son emerges into the light. His existence changes everything: for Merilyn, for Arthur, and for the destiny of Camelot itself. Whispers of the boy ripple through the Old Religion, binding his fate to the same prophecy that foretells Arthur’s rise and Merilyn’s sacrifice. Allies will question her loyalty. Enemies will seek to use him. And Arthur must decide if love can survive the truth that destiny has hidden from them both.

    Summary

    “Gwen, it’s terrible,” Merlin said. “He’s polite! He’s kind, even!”

    “And that’s a problem?” Gwen asked, dryly.

    "I’m going to have to go through an entire week serving the perfect Golden Prince, and then go back to my Prince Prat, and I think it’s going to break me, Gwen. He’s going to get me used to it, and then it’ll be back to mile-long lists, and being called stupid instead of spectacular and how am I supposed to handle that?”

    Gwen said, hesitantly, “I thought you liked Arthur?”

    “I do,” Merlin said, sounding even lower than before. “I have to.”

    When a visiting Prince visits Camelot, and takes Merlin as his servant during his negotiations with The Crown, Merlin finds himself being seen in a way he'd always wished Arthur would see him, and doesn't know what to do with any of it.

    Merlin frowned, trying to fight off the serum, after several long moments of silence Merlin looses the battle and says quietly, “I have magic.”
    Anthea grins, “there now, was that so hard?”
    Lancelot winces but Arthur looks puzzled. Arthur, who had been observing the interaction with confusion finally chimes in with a cut off laugh.

    Summary

    Aithusa is captured by King Sarrum. In order to make sure the dragon is secure and the realm therefore safe, Arthur gathers a delegation to visit the Kingdom Amata. Merlin, however, breaks as he sees the state his daughter is in. And suddenly, secrets are no longer relevant.

    Excerpt:
    His teary eyes scanned all over her body, finding it worse than what Sarrum had described. Her claws were twitching and bleeding on the dirty ground. There was no water in sight and she looked thirsty while her eyes looked milky and unseeing. Yet, she seemed to recognise him somehow. For a moment, her gaze cleared and she nuzzled her forehead against Merlin’s. Cuts among her side, red coloring her white scaled bloody.

    “Merlin, what the hell are you doing! Come back here! NOW! It will eat you!”

    But Merlin’s glare found only Sarrum’s who seemed more confused than anything. And that look, that innocence feigning, pleased expression, blinded Merlin with pure, unaltered rage. “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER!”

    Summary

    "That was weird," Merlin says, chirpily, and the knights laugh, as if they don't know that Merlin just almost died, just would have died, if it hadn't been for his -

    Arthur takes a deep breath.

    He's not thinking about it.

    Summary

    Arthur, the knights, Gwen and Morgana woke in a strange forest, filled with magic. Without Merlin. None remember how they got there. Begrudgingly setting aside their hatred, they traversed through the forest stumbling upon a village. None of the villagers had ever heard of Camelot, and practiced magic freely. Thankfully, the Court Sorcerer happens to be visiting the village for business. He offers them help in figuring out what happened to them.

    What happens when the Sorcerer turns out to be Merlin?
    What happens when they realize Merlin barely remembers anything?
    What happens when Merlin tells them about his king?
    What happens when they find out Merlin has a new life, without them?
    How will they get past this?

    Read to find out.

    Summary

    "Speak treason against my uncle again, and I swear you can join yours in exile forever!” Arthur's voice thundered across the throne room. All Merlin had done was address his suspicions of Agravaines betrayal and framing Gaius. He hadn’t even mentioned Morgana, or even Uthers death.

    “There will not be any reason for banishment, sire. I leave Camelot willingly.”
    Merlin didn’t bow. Nor did he look back as he walked out of the throneroom, leaving a heartbroken Arthur behind him. After the big wooden doors closed shut, he could hear shouts and disagreements.

    Summary

    Merlin is mentally Ill. This is his... journey? Start to finish of... healing? That's the word I want to use. He gets better in the end. Please remember mental illness wasn't really acknowledged in this era. They didn't have a word for depression or a diagnosis like nowadays, but people felt that common ground of low mood, they would have somewhat known it existed.

    Summary

    “I never believed that you would betray me,” Arthur says, because Merlin knows him, even if the same might not be true the other way around. Merlin could tell when he was lying, when he was lashing out to protect himself, long before a bond tore down all the defences Arthur so carefully erected around himself. “Do not pretend that you ever believed me capable of truly hating you. I could not, no matter how much I may want to.”

    The way Merlin’s face twists reveals that there is another story there, and words echo within Arthur’s head, guttural and ancient—a half cannot truly hate that which makes it whole.

    He wants to laugh at the truth of it, at the absurdity of it all. Here they are, a prince and a servant, Uther Pendragon’s son and one of the most powerful sorcerers to ever walk the earth—caught up in a fight over who possesses more devotion, who is going to ruin themself for the other’s sake first.


    One hot summer day and an ill-advised kiss leave Arthur with an incomplete soul bond, panic about all his secrets coming to light, and the question of why Merlin is so afraid of Uther. Actually, scratch that—why is Merlin afraid of him?

    Summary

    Merilyn’s double life grows increasingly perilous as her magic intertwines with the fates of those she cares about most. Arthur’s journey toward kingship is fraught with moral trials, unexpected alliances, and revelations that threaten to shatter his trust in those closest to him. Meanwhile, Morgana’s descent into darkness shakes the foundations of Camelot, forcing Merilyn to make heartbreaking sacrifices to protect her friend-turned-foe.

    As the pressures of her secret life mount, Merilyn’s past comes back to haunt her when she crosses paths with the Black Thorn Brotherhood, the merciless group that once controlled her fate. Facing old enemies and the wounds they left behind, she must confront the harrowing truths she’s long buried—and admit to herself, and to those she loves, the extent of her pain and guilt.

    Sequel to A Warlocks Disguise.

    Summary

    Merlin has wanted Arthur for many years, it’s hard to know when it started, he had never intended for Arthur to find out the truth, and even when Arthur reciprocated, he managed to ruin everything.

    It would take at least six rolls of parchment for Merlin to list every reason Arthur can’t be with him, most are fairly obvious reasons. But Merlin finds himself - himself! - slowly strikeing each reason off the list.

    A hot and bothered and messy pandemonium ensues.

    Summary

    Arthur is kidnapped by rogue sorcerers who somehow think that if he’s in trouble, this all-powerful warlock Emrys will do anything to save him. Which is stupid, because Arthur has never met this Emrys before. Why would a warlock care that Arthur was kidnapped, much less risk everything to save him?
    It’s not like Emrys was actually going to show up, right, Merlin? …Merlin?

    Title taken from Taylor Swift's song, "Treacherous (Taylor's Version)"
