Merlin is left in charge to care for his own kingdom, Aeyland. While in the midst in the course of events, Merlin's mind is a blank slate-all memories of Arthur now washed away. Things are going smoothly, until Merlin gets a sudden sense, rushing to a certain lake. There, Arthur rises. Merlin has no idea who the 'stranger' is, and why he was called upon his awakening. And Arthur realizes he'll have to start over with Merlin, hoping those drained memories will make an appearance once again. He just doesn't know if Merlin will ever be the same way again. [Completed] [The Sequel To "Crossfire"] (I do not own BBC Merlin)

As Uther calls Arthur to speak with him privately, Arthur isn't sure what predicament had occurred between him and his father. Until he gets handed a crinkled letter. The kingdom of Aeyland had just collapsed at the hands of Morgana. The letter explains that several knights are on a quest to find their King and Queen. As Arthur embarks on this journey with several knights from both his kingdom and the fallen, Arthur realizes something extraordinary. The kingdom has a lost prince. And he's hiding somewhere closer than Arthur suspects. [Completed] (I don't own BBC Merlin)

A Merthur fic set in canon era. After two years of putting up with his useless excuse for a manservant, Arthur begins to suspect that there may be more to Merlin than meets the eye. But Merlin's not the only one with a secret. And maybe destinies aren't always as they seem. AU where I use elements of all five seasons in a way that does not always comply with canon. WARNING: Contains: (some) violence, mentions of blood, and a lot of gayness (duh)

When Merlin is caught spying at Pendragon Industries, what will happen when Arthur is left in control of this flirty stranger? After poisonings, betrayal and confessions, what does fate have in store for the pair? This is a Merlin Mafia AU

Winter falls on Camelot. It falls to Merlin to keep Arthur company as the search for Morgana becomes increasingly desperate. 6000 words, Merlin/Arthur. Set in the break between series 2 & 3. I had to make a judgement call on whether we’re dealing with Yule or Christmas in this Merlin verse. I went with Yule (there was reasoning, but I won’t bore you with it). Chapter beginnings taken from Doubt Comes In, by Anais Mitchell, from my favourite album this year Hadestown (it’s a folk opera about Orpheus and Eurydice - so that’s the very definition of not for everyone but its weird and creepy and awesome)

Beautiful cover made by FangirlLikeYouMeanIt! :D When Uther Pendragon finally tracks down the rogue dragonlord to Ealdor he finds the man with a wife and child. The king feels no guilt when he enters the couple's home, killing both Balinor and Hunith as they try desperately to protect their son. But, instead of having the child meet the same fate Uther decides to keep the young dragonlord as a form of token. A spoil of war. So, once he returns he locks the boy away somewhere deep in Camelot's dungeons. Merlin remains there for years, alone and afraid until one day a young prince finds him.

Credit for the amazing cover goes to EdamameBean on Wattpad! Merthur AU (Still set in the same time period) After the Great Purge, led by Uther Pendragon, magic has become outlawed in the Kingdom of Camelot. The kingdom thrives quietly for a few years, none disturbing the silence. Meanwhile, a betrayed Balinor is seen as a leader within the community of surviving sorcerers and their supporters. The sorcerers create a new home within the borders of Camelot by taking control of an old castle. With their new leader Balinor, the sorcerers are prepared to take down Uther Pendragon and return to their homes. Thus, The Resistance is born. The war between the two wages on for over a decade. Neither of the two powers willing to surrender. This is the time when our tale begins. The time of Merlin Ambrosius, son of Balinor, and Arthur Pendragon, son of Uther. What will happen when the two fall in love? Especially when neither realize they are in love with their greatest enemy. Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin.
