Alexandria Pendragon is the rightful heir the the throne of Camelot. Merlin took her away the night she was born, disguised as the great wizard Emrys to train her to be the most powerful High Priestess. Merlin isn't afraid to teach Alexandria, or Alex, even after what happened to Morgana. He knows that Alex will only use magic for good, so at the age of 15 he sends her to live with Gaius as assistant to court physician.
She has no idea that she is Arthur and Gwens daughter until Merlin decides to return back to the castle after being missing for 17 years.
Working her way up to becoming Queen Guineveres personal servant, she finds out what really happened that night, 15 years ago. Once she knows her true identity, she gains a little brother named Felix and the mother and father she's never had.
After a scary ordeal, Merlin tells Alex that she needs to fulfill his destiny of protecting Arthur who has no idea that she possess magic. After Arthur and Gwens death, Alex takes the throne. Is she really up to the challenge of becoming queen?

The destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of brother and sister. Peasants. Bastards. Sorcerers. Annabelle of Ealdor has always known she and her brother were different, but it was the kind of different that had to be hidden. It was the kind of different that could mean a death sentence. After making their way to Camelot, the very kingdom that ruthlessly punishes those like them, Annabelle and Merlin discover a destiny greater than they could have ever imagined - one that will test them at every turn. And if that were not enough, Annabelle finds herself falling deeply for the golden prince, the son of the king who made it his life's to destroy everything Annabelle holds dear.Complete

But if Emrys guides Arthur to his destiny, she leads herself to her own doom. Emrys hopes to be able to change her fate, but it's hard to focus on that when she's busy trying to keep the prat of a prince from being killed by everything else. ***This is a fanfiction based on the BBC show Merlin and features MAJOR canon divergent. There are original characters in this, some taking place of canon characters and others added in as side characters. Many of our favorite characters will both look and act a little differently, as such, but this is just to help them all fit better together. This story contains a lot of original plot points, with a sprinkling of beats from some favorite episodes, but I hope you'll give it a chance and still enjoy it!***Complete

Destiny Defied ¹
Guinevere Pendragon needs a king. A shadow from the past; a strong leader? Her hesitant friend; a fractured bond? Or loyalty; a man who's never left her side? Camelot is without a king. Guinevere is alone; only Sir Leon still stands by her side. Everyone else is gone. Ruling in grief is a challenge she thought she would face alone, but true to his word, Leon stays close, offering advice when she wants to give up. Offering friendship. Offering even a hint of... love? But then Merlin turns up; he didn't die, as Gwen had feared, and has returned. He's home in Camelot. Instead of the joy she'd expected, Gwen is struck by a startling anger. Friends don't abandon friends. Merlin is distressed- he never meant to abandon Gwen, but it seems she can't see his staying away as anything else. They'd been friends before, but maybe friendship isn't enough. Merlin is the most powerful sorcerer to walk this earth- there must be something he can do. Yet it seems no matter how hard he tries, he can't be enough. Because maybe Gwen needs something else. Someone else. Can Merlin resurrect the past for her- a dark and dangerous game? Or should the past stay in the past? As if the rising tensions within Camelot aren't enough, it seems a threat is lurking outside the kingdom. Whispers of an army led by a ghost. Time will reveal the threat is already deep within the castle- already close to the queen. It seems the past can't let go of Camelot, and with the eerie Cup of Life falling into the conflict, past mixes with future. Some ghosts are hard to bury, but maybe Gwen isn't after the past anymore. Camelot needs a new start. New leadership. New rules. The old ways versus the new. Fear. Respect. Magic. Fear alone cannot lead Camelot, respect must be earned, and magic holds an uncertain future. They'd all begun to think they were safe- but is Camelot even meant to have a future? Or is it doomed to follow the destiny of its past kings? To die- and leave them all devastated amidst its ashes.Complete
