Summary
The thing was, Merlin didn’t mean for it to happen this way. Sure, it had been a conscious decision on his part, he had actually rolled it over in his head for hours to make sure he was truly doing the right thing, but he didn’t mean for it to be like this.
Written for Day 1 of Mercelot Week 2025, for the prompt “it took you almost 4 years to fully trust me, and it took you all of one minute to stop.”

Summary
‘What is the name of you grandfather?’ Sophie asked, not too unkindly in the face of the suspicion entering the boy’s blue eyes.
‘Why do you ask?’ He countered stiffly as Merlin, who she now thought was officially the Prince’s servant of advisor or some such thing, returned with a bunch of firewood.
‘I think I know how I got here and I’d like to confirm my theory,’ she said gloomily.
‘I am Sophie, and my husband is Howl. Howl Jenkins Pendragon. I know for a fact that there is no one else by the name of Pendragon where I come from. That’s probably because he made that name up. He said it’s a lovely name, which it is, I guess, though I prefer more plain ones, but anyway.’
She was getting distracted.
‘The point is. I don’t know how it happened, but I think I’m in the future. I hope he didn’t leave me to really get married to the King’s daughter, but one can’t ever be sure with Howl, so tell me the name of your bloody grandfather, because I have a wizard to kill if I hear the name Howl among the list of you ancestors.’Sophie travels forward in time to when her great great grandson is on the throne. (Hint-he’s our favourite genocidal git)

What if Merlin's paranoia *wasn't* justified for once? We've got plenty of Merlin being rightly paranoid in canon, so what if his mistrust was misplaced?
There's a new stranger in Camelot and while everything *seems* fine, Merlin can't shake the feeling that there is something deeply *wrong* with this boy. Even better, Gaius has taken in said stranger as his apprentice. Merlin has to get to the bottom of this and expose their secret.
