Arthur Pendragon is known was the King of the Britons, the defeater of the Saxons, and the leader of the Knights of the Roundtable.  When the orphaned boy is suddenly thrust into the life of a legend, Arthur struggles with being king and all that it entails, even his eventual fate.

This project was originally made to be a comedy.  As time went on, however, I begun to treat it a bit more seriously.  So if there's any parts that references something or seems weird to you, that's the reason.

Swords & Spells (Book One):The Magic of Emrys by jayuswrites
22 parts Complete
Emrys has always known that it is her destiny to turn the spoiled Prince Arthur Pendragon into the greatest king Camelot has known since magic was expelled from the kingdom. 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!***

Gaining a strong group of friends for herself, they all fight against the oppression they face. But their group is small, and their enemies powerful. But one day they find a strange man.
