    Summary

    Arthur may not know how he got here or what’s going on, but he does know he sure as hell isn’t leaving this tiny, terrified, five-year-old behind.

    Or: Arthur and Merlin get caught in a de-aging incident. Merlin is predictably not ecstatic to wake up near Camelot knights, and Arthur has never been weaker in his life than he is for Merlin’s baby bambi eyes.

    Summary

    Loneliness is an insidious thing. When Merlin looks at Arthur, he sees not just a prince waiting for his time to rule, but a young man struggling to find his place in the world, with little help from anyone else.

    The truth is, Arthur needs more than the friendship Merlin can offer. He needs people he can trust: men and women who will become his court and his confidants, and if he is going to survive to take the throne and lead Camelot into its golden age, he needs them sooner rather than later.

    Finding loopholes in Uther’s laws is no easy feat. Court life is a dangerous game, but it’s one Merlin has every intention of winning so that Arthur can have knights of his choosing by his side.

    And then there is the matter of his magic…

    Summary

    Starting with Valiant, Arthur begins to realize that maybe—just maybe—Camelot’s problems aren’t caused by magic alone, no matter what his father’s been screaming his whole life.

    Instead, it’s a mess of emotional tangles, terrible communication, and the dawning horror that Uther might be completely wrong about… well, everything.

    Summary

    The knights had sprung to their feet. Percival and Elyan had pulled him back, while Arthur and Leon stood in front. Lancelot and Gwaine were flanking them, the latter showing none of the alcohol sickness he had been prior.

    But Mordred’s eyes were fixated on the wall and the text therein.

    The left option stood there, upon the wall, like a tantalizing invitation, a riddle within a mystery; the right option seemed like both a warning and a reprieve from the unknown.

    Mordred suddenly found himself unable to breathe.

     

    OR:

     

    After waking up in an unfamiliar and barren room, Arthur and the Knights are forced into solving a mystery which only brings about more questions than it answers. Worst of all, Mordred fears the secrecy of sorcery will only get more jeopardized.

    Summary

    AU:
    In a world of humans, magics, vampires, and werewolves, Merlin is just trying to learn to control his powers.
    What is it, to be a human? a witch? a vampire? a werewolf? Merlin can barely answer one of those questions, but now he finds himself having to answer all of them all at once.

    AKA: A was-supposed-to-be-rewrite of Merlin in a vampire/werewolf universe that ran off the rails and became something greater. (No longer a rewrite.)

    Summary

    A flash of terribly familiar golden light filled the clearing, a deafening boom sent the knights flying backwards, and then, at last, a pair of blue eyes opened once more.

    And they were met in return with the sight of shimmering gold eyes.

    As it dawned on everyone what exactly had just happened, Arthur’s battle-proven instincts kicked in and overtook his petrified mind once more, playing out his body’s natural response to any worst-case scenario:

    Grab Merlin and run.
    ~
    Alternatively: After a ritual goes disastrously wrong, Merlin's magic has been transferred to Arthur, who is still unaware that Merlin has magic in the first place. Believing himself to be a danger to everyone around him, Arthur sets out to live the rest of his life in self-imposed exile.
    Suffice it to say, Merlin has some objections to Arthur's plans.
