    When Merlin went to trade his life for Arthur's, he was ready to die; but the Old Religion wanted his life, not his death, and Nimueh did not offer the bargain he was expecting.

    Summary

    It was over. Arthur was here. The Lamia was slain. Gwen was alright. The knights would be back to normal. It was over.

    Able to relax for the first time in days, he let his knees buckle and his back slide down the wall. He hit the ground, and his vision turned to mist.

    Merlin didn't make it out of his encounter with the Lamia unscathed, or so Arthur thinks when he slays the beast and finds Merlin slumped against the wall and bleeding. When he learns the true source of Merlin's injuries he is furious. He does his best to push that anger away though, because being there for Merlin matters far more right now.

    or

    The Lamia episode but Merthur, and the knights actually injured Merlin.

    Summary

    Arthur is captured while scouting Cenred's territory and thrown into a dungeon cell. He's not alone—his cellmate is Merlin, a mysterious prisoner who somehow recognizes Arthur as royalty despite his disguise, and who tries to keep spirits light even as he's dragged away daily by guards.

    Arthur quickly realizes something is terribly wrong. Merlin is dying, slowly drained by strange manacles and Cenred's hunger for magic. Over days and weeks, Arthur watches helplessly as the cycle repeats: recovery, torture, deterioration. He falls for the strange, brilliant boy who jokes through agony and shields Arthur from darkness.

    Summary

    What if Balinor had returned a couple of years after he left? What if Merlin had grown up with a father, knowing more about magic and Uther’s actions? What if he was more than happy to see Uther dead, so long as his destiny was fulfilled?

    OR

    Merlin grows up hating Uther and is more than happy to ignore the dragon and his yapping about his destiny.

    I will add any trigger warnings here but since I have no idea how this story will go I will try to keep all topics somewhat light but still realistic as I can. Feel free to comment if you think any trigger warnings should be added!
