Summary
Amelia had been a court sorceress, and friend, of Uther Pendragon before the Purge. He'd laughed, when she claimed to be from the future, but after Ygraine's death, and her disappearance, he stopped giving it much thought, as he gave himself over to his grief.
Twenty two years later, Uther finds himself shocked when the pieces begin to fall together - Merlin, his son's insolent manservant is a woman - how on earth had he missed that? - and Arthur intends to keep the baby and marry the peasant. Uther finds himself full of righteous fury, until he meets the infant. With Arthur's blonde hair, and Merlin's unmistakable blue eyes, there's only one conclusion, Amelia'd been telling the truth - although not all of it - when she'd claimed to be from his future. His granddaughter.
Uther turns everything on its head for her - to keep a promise he'd once made to her. But that's only the beginning.
OR
Being the daughter of the Once and Future King isn't easy. Neither is being the Druid Lord - or Lady, as it turns out - Emrys' daughter. Trouble double when you're both.

Summary
Merlin has secrets.
Some of them more obvious than others.
But when his family comes to town, declaring him their royal daughter and Arthur's fiance.... things get a little out of his control.
Good thing Uther Pendragon isn't as much of a horrible king as you'd expect.Warning: Mentions of transphobia, and good Uther Pendragon lmao.
Also Merlin has some personal issues about periods.
Edit: Deadnaming-------------------
Edit: In the story, Uther referrs to Merlin as "being cursed at birth to be born in the wrong body". To clarify: Being trans is NOT a curse.
I did not reedit the part, despite being made aware of the problem, because the reaction still fits to Uther's character and it may still be true to some people.
You're valid and beautiful people and the only curse you're under is other people's ignorance and blatant hatred against you.
I apologize for my mistake.A.N.:// The title is ironic. Because that's what Gwaine calls Arthur at the beginning.... and the end. But you'll see.
