    Summary

    When a Chimera threatens a village and his father refuses to let him face the monster, Arthur puts a red cloak on his shoulders and goes to face the monster anyway.
    When Merlin hears that a monster has been destroying farms and killing villagers, he puts on a black cloak and goes to take it down.
    They didn’t expect to meet each other. And they don’t even know who's under the other’s hood. Where would be the fun in that?

    Basically, a Camelot version of the good old ‘Daft Superheroes and their Stupid Secret Identity Shenanigans’ trope in a time of myth and a land of magic. With Arthur as the dashing knight, and Merlin as the fearsome sorcerer.
    Set just after the end of Season 1.
    (No Merthur planned)

    Summary

    If Draco had maybe paid a little more attention in Divination, he would have noticed the destiny spelt out in his coffee dregs.

    As it was, however, he was far too busy drinking his corretto and trying to resist Pansy's nagging. He was not going to write about his experiences in the Muggle World. And if he was, it wasn't going to be for the Daily Prophet, damn it.

    Summary

    Kidnapped and banished at a young age, Merlin is a prince without a crown or kingdom. Though raised with magic and sword by his side, he faces a tumultuous path that takes him to Camelot and brings with it a destiny he never believed in. But at every turn he faces the consequences of his actions, unwilling as they might be, and his two secrets—magic and his dusty title— have never been close to tearing apart the life he built for himself in Camelot until a letter finds its way into Arthur's hands.

    And the two lives Merlin has led begin to bleed together.

    Summary

    In a land of myth and a time of magic, the vortex of fate grows with each and every choice, drawing those linked by destiny ever closer.

    --

    Or the one where Merlin and Jaskier stumble upon each other one day and decide to meet up every once in a while to bitch about life, current events, and most importantly, their stupid, wouldn't-know-love-if-it-got-up-and-stabbed-them best friends.

    Summary

    When Arthur is born, Ygraine dies and Uther vows vengeance against all magic.

    When Arthur is four, Nimueh decides to take matters into her own hands and casts an enchantment on the prince as penance for his father. One which can only be removed by a magic user willing to undo the enchantment for the sake of helping Arthur, and no other reason.

    When Arthur is seven, the truth of the spell's nature comes to light.

    When Arthur is fifteen, the rumours of the worsening enchantment spread among the kingdoms until news it has been removed take their place and his father tells Arthur he must never let anyone know the truth of the matter.

    When Arthur is twenty, he lives with the firm belief the enchantment will never be lifted.

    When Arthur is twenty, a boy named Merlin arrives in Camelot and, by a streak of luck, becomes the enchanted prince's manservant...

    Summary

    In the midst of capturing a magical creature, Merlin is transported to a world where Camelot is home to thousands of magic-users. King Uther is nowhere to be found, Arthur is a prince again, and Queen Ygraine sits on the throne.

    Merlin plans to get back to his own reality, to his own Camelot. To do that, however, he must have access to information that is inside a shielded castle protected by powerful sorcerers. The only way in is to participate in the Apprentice Exam and be an apprentice to a magic-user included in Camelot's court. Should be easy . . . right?

    Conspiracies are afoot and Merlin just knows that, somehow, he is or will be involved. Just his luck.

    ARC 1 CONCLUDED!

    Summary

    Merlin had thought he didn’t know what he was getting into when he cleared the air and agreed to stop hating Mordred, but it turned out the knight, not the warlock, was the one who was completely unprepared for what it would mean to be considered Merlin’s friend.

    Summary

    Merlin has a habit of keeping Arthur out of trouble, without the prince noticing of course. But when it's the warlock's turn to keep himself from harm's way he's not as on top of things as he'd like to believe, leaving the task up to those closest to him. A series of connected short stories featuring our favorites from Camelot and their mission to keep one selfless sorcerer safe.

    Summary

    Instead of smuggling Mordred out of Camelot at the first opportunity, which is the most suspicious option in Merlin's opinion, the decision is instead made to pretend that the boy is someone else entirely for a few weeks and only then return him to the druids.

    It works out better than expected, and what was a one-off becomes something of a regular practice.

    Summary

    Apparently "Once and Future King" doesn't mean what Arthur thought it meant, because he woke up in the past, not the future. Now he just has to deal with a Gwen who won't give him the time of day, a Morgana that still smiles at him, a father who is still alive and king, and most importantly of all.

    He has to not let Merlin know he knows.

    Summary

    "What is it with you and wanting to sneak away in the night!" Arthur cried out.

    "It's effective," Merlin muttered petulantly. It had worked plenty of times and Arthur had never had an issue with it before. Granted, Arthur had never actually known that Merlin was doing it - but that was beside the point, since Merlin had still done it.

    (Or the one where Merlin finds it easy to get used to having the four knights know about his magic instead of just the one - and he, surprisingly, also finds it annoying.)

    Summary

    An execution was not exactly on Merlin's bucket list, wasn't even what destiny had intended for him, but it would figure that Uther Pendragon's final act would be one last strike against magic. On the bright side—because Merlin's nothing if not desperate for silver linings—he gets to learn more about magic and its still existing community than the castle he has once called home could've ever offered him. And when he finally returns, things might've just changed enough for all of them to have a chance at a better future than fate had planned.

    Arthur, for his part, really wants to catch a break, and to stop thinking about his late manservant. It should probably be less of a shock that it does not work out so neatly. Between concerning dreams, the realisation of just how wrong his father was—about nearly everything, really—and trying to deal with the loss of the person closest to him, Arthur learns a few things about making choices that aren't always easy, but right.

    Or sometimes, things have to go downhill first before they get better, and if Uther had known about the eventual outcome, he might've changed his mind for once in his life.
