Summary
In a medieval-modern fused world where magic is still illegal, Merlin, with no memory of his previous life, enters Camelot, now an eerie, grey maze of a place where elites train to become future political leaders.
The last thing he should be doing is falling for Arthur Pendragon, star swordsman, son of infamous anti-magic proponent Uther and massive whopping prat. Whose life he just can't seem to help saving.
But history is threatening to repeat itself. As Merlin begins to see visions of Arthur's death, can he evade tragedy this time around?

Summary
“Arthur!” Merlin turned to him with a sunshine-y grin that dimpled his cheeks, “can I help you with something?” Arthur realized he should speak now.
“Oh, um, yes. I’m supposed to give you my buy in money and then you’ll give it to your uncle, right?”
“You convinced your father, then?” Merlin asked, his smile returning.
Arthur chuckled and scratched the back of his now slightly warm neck, “Uh, no actually. He doesn’t know I’m doing this.”
Merlin’s eyes flickered down for a second then met his again, “Well, I think that’s great! Um, I’m glad you’re joining us.”

Summary
Arthur Pendragon has spent his whole life untouched—by kindness, by desire, or anything resembling real intimacy. It never mattered. Not until a certain annoying manservant came to Camelot—Merlin—who disregarded all strict royal etiquette and showed no restraint when it came to sudden, reckless displays of affection. Now, there’s something impossible in the space between them, something Arthur doesn’t know how to name—only that he aches to close the distance.

Summary
After Arthur disobeyed his father and retrieved the Mortaeus flower for Merlin's cure, Arthur's frantic pleading to save Merlin led to a misunderstanding that actually convinced Uther to take the flower to Gaius.
Now all Arthur has to do is explain to Merlin why Uther thinks they are lovers.
And while Uther is supportive of the relationship, he requires it kept secret. But in his paranoia, Uther misinterprets every innocent interaction between the two as something far more intimate, to the embarrassment of everyone involved.
And then the knights begin showing up...

Summary
Amelia never really thought about what would happen when she died. Wait, no that was a lie. She had wondered if she would be reincarnated she supposed or just simply go to some sort of afterlife. Or maybe she would wake up in the world of one of the very first Tv shows that she had got obsessed with.
Amelia genuinely did not think this would happen, fanfiction is just that! Fanfiction!
But hey ho here she is.
——
The usual tale of someone dying then waking up in one of their favourite TV show with, what I hope, is a twist.

What follows is a terrible series of revelations, dubious rituals, offensive job offers, and lots of not-quite secrets still to be revealed.
A season 4 & 5 rewrite where everything is worse.

Summary
Mithian heard about Merlin long before she ever actually spoke to him.
In fact, the servant was one of her future husband’s very favourite topics of conversation – Merlin’s insolence, his laziness, his incompetence. Arthur scoffed and sighed and shooed him away, but he paid attention to Merlin in a way he didn’t any of the other servants, and despite the tension that stretched between them like a worn-thin thread, there was affection woven through it, keeping it from breaking. Merlin, lowly, incompetent, infuriating servant that Arthur claimed him to be, was important.
It was too bad, then, that Merlin did not seem to like her at all.

Summary
“How?” Mordred had stuttered, some time later, when they were out of Arthur’s ex’s house and back in the small two-bedroom flat Arthur rented nowadays, black nail polish-adorned hands trembling around the meet&greet tickets. “These sold out in like, less than twenty seconds. H-how?”
“I have my connections,” Arthur had said, mysteriously, and Mordred had rolled his eyes and let it go.
Or; Arthur takes his teenage son to another concert. This time, he has ulterior motives.

Summary
After his long absence, Arthur Pendragon returns to Camelot, upon hearing for his father's death. He claims his crown as the rightful heir, but many things have changed since he disappeared in the dark of the night three years ago, including Morgana herself.
~~~
She almost glared at him. ''The Arthur I know has been gone for almost three years now. And I know he will never come back.'', was it sadness he heard in her voice? Longing, perhaps. He couldn't tell for sure.''I'm standing right in front of you, not even a meter away.''
She ignored him. ''And do you want to know why, my lord?'', he frowned as she moved closer to him. ''Because, he's a coward.''
Her voice was nothing more than a whisper, yet it ruined him and set fire to his insides all the same.

Summary
Merlin looked up at the overcast sky and sighed. He lived in a world that was at once a place of unparalleled, sparkling beauty and a noxious, foul, suffocating cage. Three months already.
‘Hope my old man’s eating properly.’ He thought.
It seemed just the other day he had gone into the woods to gather herbs, where he had met three kidnappers; let us call them Villagers One, Two, and Three. They were after servsnts for the royal palace, and in a word, they offered the world’s most forceful and unpleasant employment.
Now, it wasn’t that he wouldn’t be paid, and with a couple years’ work, there was that glimmer of hope that he might even be able to come back to his hometown. There were worse ways to earn a living—if one went to the royal city of one’s own volition.
But Merlin, who was making his way just fine as an apothecary, thank you very much, saw it solely trouble.Or: An apothecary diaries and Merlin crossover au

Summary
Camelot has no king. All that remains is Queen Guinevere and Sir Leon. His steady friendship is all she has left, offering her a hint of... love? Then Merlin turns up—he didn't die as feared and has returned. Instead of joy at his return, Gwen is angry. She assumed him dead—now it seems he abandoned her. Merlin never meant to leave her, he needed time, but it seems she can't see it as anything else. No matter how hard he tries, he isn't enough—maybe Gwen needs something else. Someone else. Can he resurrect the past for her—or should the past stay in the past? As if tensions in Camelot aren't enough, a seemingly trivial error has morphed into a threat lurking outside the kingdom. Time reveals the threat is already within the castle—close to the queen. It seems the past can't let go of Camelot, and with the Cup of Life falling into the conflict, past mixes with future. Camelot needs a new start. The old ways versus the new. Fear. Respect. Magic. Fear alone can't lead Camelot, respect must be earned and magic's future is uncertain.
They'd all begun to think they were safe—but is Camelot even meant to have a future? Or is it doomed to the destiny of its past kings? To die—and leave them all devastated amidst its ashes. -

Summary
Marania, eine scheinbar gewöhnliche Frau aus einer anderen Welt, lebt am Hof von Gawant als Gefährtin von Prinzessin Elena. Um ihren Hals trägt sie einen rohen Amethyst, der ihr unauffällig hilft besser zu hören – eine Form instinktiver, verbotener Magie. Als Lord Godwyn mit Elena und Marania nach Nemeth zu einem Turnier reist, beginnt ihr Schicksal sich zu verändern. Dort begegnet sie Sir Leon von Camelot. Ohne dass beide es wissen, tragen sie zwei miteinander verbundene Steine, die auf Magie und körperliche Erregung reagieren und sie langsam miteinander verbinden.
Während Turniere, Jagden und höfische Intrigen stattfinden, entwickelt sich zwischen Leon und Marania eine vorsichtige Anziehung. Gleichzeitig entsteht über Briefe eine ungewöhnliche Freundschaft zwischen Marania, Morgana und Elena, die sogar König Uther misstrauisch macht. Durch Mut, Intuition und ihre unauffällige Stärke wird Marania schließlich zu einer einflussreichen Lady zwischen mehreren Höfen – eine Frau, die Könige respektieren und Ritter nicht mehr vergessen können.
