Summary
What would have happened after Merlin's magic reveal to Arthur if the battle was not at Camlaan and Mordred did not wield the sword that felled King Arthur (i.e. he did not die yet)? This story begins roughly where Diamond of the Day Part 1 leaves off and continues the adventures of the characters we know and love from the show.
Arthur has to decide if he still believes magic is evil, and if he can continue to be a friend to someone who has lied to him. Merlin has to balance reality with his hopes for the future and his destiny. Everyone else just wants to support their friends, and might have to decide for themselves how they feel about sorcerers.

Summary
Merlin saved Camelot with his magic—but the display was terrifying enough to turn even his closest friends away. Now, the people who once cared for him look at him with nothing but fear. He’s been replaced in Arthur’s and the queen’s chambers, scorned in the streets, and pushed out from every last one of his roles.
He drifts through the castle like a ghost, watching Arthur slowly restore magic to the kingdom—without him.
He tells himself it’s enough. That it has to be enough.
Then a visiting kingdom arrives—openly magical, warm, and welcoming. For the first time in what feels like an eternity, Merlin is seen, valued, liked.
He stayed for the promise of Albion. But maybe Albion has come—and Merlin simply isn’t part of it.

Summary
Break the Cutie - aka: When a sweet and loveable character, who you adore and root for, is slowly tormented in front of your very eyes. And well, Merlin is awfully cute after all... :)
Long story short, I’ve set myself a little challenge to write a fic for every single episode of Merlin. 65 episodes means 65 opportunities to hurt my favourite character because who doesn't love some good ol' whumpy angst! (I’m definitely going to regret this decision but I’m determined to complete them all.)
(These are all standalone fics!)

Summary
"Arthur took one look at that unmerlin like grin and knew something was wrong. Before he could as much as stand up Merlin's eyes shifted to gold and the floor cracked. That awful grin extended as vines erupted out of the new Earth. "
i.e. Merlin gets possessed. It goes as well as expected.

Summary
"Ah, Merlin," Arthur said, looking up from his desk. "I expect you have my speech ready for tomorrow?"
Merlin nodded and approached the desk. He bowed his head as he put the scroll down then kept it bowed before moving back and standing in front of him.
Arthur, immediately, was suspicious.
"Merlin? Is something the matter?"
Merlin didn't answer, just keeping his head down.

Summary
Yet another magic reveal, Court Sorcerer AU.
Starts after season 4, but before season 5, and therefore happily tosses the tragedy out the window.
I'm just having a little fun taking the mother of all clichés and putting my own spin on it.- Words:

Summary
The Dorocha. They are the voices of the dead, my child. And, like the dead, they are numberless.
Or
A different take of the dorocha. Instead of them being faceless screams that attack you, they are actually figures of the dead. Merlin doesn't quite realize how much death affected him until him and the knights go to close the veil.

"Great, just what he needed, something else trying to off the prat on the way home."
Merlin, Arthur, a very large spot of prison-cell-shaped trouble, and a lot to work out. Basically, a fix-it for all of season 5.

Summary
Holding back a grunt, Merlin craned his neck backward. Maybe he was injured and didn’t realize? He twisted his head around — neck oddly more flexible than he remembered — as he tried to take stock of himself. And Merlin froze. Because instead of his usual tunic and red neckerchief… were feathers. Lots and lots of feathers.
The resulting screech that left Merlin’s throat was inhuman.
…
Or, a hunting trip goes awry, as so many do, and Merlin is hit by an errant spell. If there’s one thing Merlin can take away from this, it’s that clearly the Fates have a sense of humor. Why else would he be turned into a merlin?
