Summary
Princess Ygraine knows her family is a little different, with the King and Queen and their companion, Merlin. To her, Merlin is the quiet constant holding their world together. But when she discovers Merlin's magic, Ygraine makes it her mission to show everyone—including Merlin himself—that the love of her family is a far stronger force than the fear he carries, and that some secrets are too important not to share.

Summary
Merlin always suspected destiny had it out for him. That suspicion became certainty when Arthur decided to stage a play.
About Emrys.
With glitter.
Arthur calls it cultural integration. Merlin calls it a war crime. Possibly several.
Or: The one where Arthur discovers ‘theatre’ and Merlin discovers existential regret.

Summary
“Merlin,” Arthur said, catching the servant as he returned from whatever useless errand he’d been pretending to attend to, “have you noticed people are rhyming?”
Merlin blinked at him, then tilted his head with theatrical puzzlement. “Rhyming? Not that I’ve heard. That would be absurd.”
Arthur stared. “You just did it.”
“Did what?” Merlin asked, his face the perfect picture of blank idiocy.
“That—that thing,” Arthur spluttered. “You just rhymed ‘heard’ and ‘absurd’.”
“Did I?” Merlin scratched his ear. “Are you sure you’ve got the right… word?”
Arthur’s eye twitched.
Or: what if Merlin’s “I'm teaching him some poetry” lie in Season 5, Episode 3 spiralled into a full-blown cultural movement featuring knights training in iambic pentameter, laws being written in verse, and a king begging his manservant to please just speak normally?

Summary
“Ah, I’m unavailable on Thursday evenings, young warlock,” Kilgharrah’s voice intoned, with what Merlin could only describe as deeply apologetic gravitas. “That is a night dedicated to... personal growth and self-reflection.”
“You’re booked?” Merlin asked, tone teetering between disbelief and insult.
“Yes, I have boundaries, Merlin,” Kilgharrah replied, as though that settled the matter entirely.
Merlin stood in the dragon-summoning field, utterly flummoxed and vaguely offended. A dragon—his dragon, the last of its kind, ancient and mighty and presumably unaffected by anything less than cataclysmic events—was skipping a monster-of-the-week consultation for what sounded suspiciously like a self-care evening.
This could only mean one thing. He was enchanted, or brainwashed, or indoctrinated by a sinister, emotionally manipulative cult. Merlin knew the type. Smiles that didn’t quite reach the eyes. Cloaks. Tea and biscuits—probably Custard Creams.
Whatever it was, Merlin was going to get to the bottom of it.
Or: The one where the Great Dragon joins a support group to stop speaking in riddles and Merlin accidentally has a full emotional breakdown over a Rich Tea biscuit

Summary
This is a series of unconnected works, which are based on a single, often innocuous line of dialogue or a tiny event within Merlin and then spiral out into truly ridiculous and absurd territory.
