Summary
During your last few months at law school you meet Dominick, and you two start something you don't quite know how to finish.
This is a law school/lawyer AU. I treated Dominick Carisi more as an original character than the Carisi we know from SVU. Creative freedom is a wonderful thing. Please enjoy and leave feedback :)

Summary
Destiny has been broken, the path of fate has been changed!
Morgana, the dreaded enemy of Camelot and captive of King Sarum for the past few months, has escaped her captivity and through bloodshed has become the new queen of Amata! Through fear of an upcoming potential civil war with the late king’s son, the queen seeks to make an alliance with her half brother, the King of Camelot, who is beginning to become desperate in the sight of a summer drought plaguing his kingdom. But her requests are equally strange and cruel, asking for the hand of the king’s personal manservant and friend in marriage!
What will she be doing with him, what are her plans? Does the manservant have something up his sleeve, or will this strange arrangement lead to something more?- Language:

Summary
“You really do have a soulmate.” Arthur said with a frown and Merlin shrugged. “That might be a problem.”
"Can’t stand anybody but you having a shot a true love?” Merlin asked flatly. Arthur wrinkled his nose.
“No, idiot. Spirit animals don’t get along unless they belong to their soulmate. If my bird sees your hideous lion-“
“He is quite dashing, thank you. Besides, your bloody bird is too loud-“
“My bird is just trying to do me a favor and tune you out!” Arthur snapped and took a long breath “The point is they can’t be around each other. So unless you want Emmy to pluck out this lion’s eyes I suggest you tell him to bugger off.” He snapped. Merlin was inclined to tell Arthur to bugger off himself, but was immediately distracted by one word.
“Emmy?” He repeated and smiled. “You did name him.”
Or
In a time of myth and a land of magic, your soulmate’s spirit animal looks after you (even after you meet your soulmate). Arthur and Merlin are oblivious fools. We know this. That doesn’t change here.

Summary
Set after 5x02 and then deviates from there.
Intent on protecting King Arthur from his prophesied death at the hands of Mordred, Merlin is entirely distrusting of the new Knight of Camelot. After discovering a secret meeting between Mordred, Morgana, and a mysterious woman Merlin has never seen before, his deepest fear is realized when he is forced to reveal his magic in an attempt to protect Arthur and Guinevere from a deadly assassination plot at the hands of Morgana. With Merlin’s most guarded secret revealed, will Mordred succeed in fulfilling his destiny? Or will Merlin be able to stop him?
~"I do not think Mordred is the one lying to me, Merlin," Arthur said through clenched teeth. "You used magic. You used magic against a knight of Camelot. Not Morgana. What am I to make of that?"
And Merlin saw how Arthur saw it. He saw how it looked. He shook his head helplessly because he also saw one other thing: Arthur wasn't going to believe him. He had attacked a knight of Camelot. With magic. Arthur and Gwen had seen. And Mordred, though he was the true traitor, had not done anything to suggest that he was. Mordred looked completely innocent. And Merlin looked very much guilty.

“Does he frighten you?”
Arthur grows quiet, mulling the question over.
“I guess. I do not know him, or his motives. And to be in possession of that much power…” It never ends well, in Arthur’s experience. “Why the interest in Camelot? In me — an arranged marriage? Why would he pursue that after… everything?”
“Maybe you should ask him.”
“Hmm,” Arthur muses. “Maybe I will."In which an alliance is forged between Camelot and the Druid people to beat back Morgana at Camlann -- one that calls for the union of the Once and Future King, and the High Druid Chieftain, Emrys.

Summary
Merlin takes a chance and writes a letter to Princess Mithian after she departs. His intent is to apologize and allay any concerns she might have with future alliances with Camelot.
Over time, the letters become more. Slowly, the Princess and the Warlock discover they have started falling for each other.
(First part is primarily story, with very little dialogue. Last portion is fairly opposite.)

WARNING: PLOT CENTERS AROUND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
“Do you really wish all sorcerers would die?”
“Why wouldn’t I?” Merlin stared at Arthur for a long time before Arthur continued, “Sorcerers have made my life a living hell. They’re nothing more than murderers. It doesn’t matter if they’re trying to kill me, or if they’re killing the great dragon. All they crave is death and destruction. I wish they would all just kill themselves and save my father and I the trouble.”
OR
Arthur tries to justify his father’s murder of Balinor. In doing so, he unknowingly makes Merlin turn to suicidal thoughts and actions.

Summary
Leon regains consciousness after the Lamia Incident with a headache and a healthy helping of guilt. He has failed in responsibility and friendship. Merlin can't stand his and the other knights' presence anymore, and, recalling his violent behavior, Leon can't blame him. But he has no intention of losing Merlin to distrust or letting his fellow knights stew in self-hate. The damage must be repaired, for the sake of them all.
The question is, how long has the damage been there? Does Leon even have the ability to fix it?
