A Merthur Story (see description below)
**********
Arthur, King of Camelot, has brought peace to the land. Magic is still banned, yes, but Merlin can live with that, he just needs to be careful.
Really, there's only one problem present:
Arthur needs an heir.
In order to solve this predicament, three princesses are invited to stay in Camelot for Arthur to court until he can choose his bride.
Thing is: Merlin is in love with Arthur, and he could never bear to see his king fall in love with anyone else.
And Arthur isn't even sure if he wants to get married himself...
(This is an AU! Features Good!Morgana, Servant!Gwen, and the knights being lovable idiots. Morgana doesn't have magic, either.)

It's not Betrayal
"Merlin has-" The ghost of Uther Pendragon has told Arthur that Merlin has magic. Arthur struggles to deal with it, until he's forced to once Camelot has a familiar new visitor. ~ Morgana crooned to the guard, her words cold but soothing, smile apparent in her voice. The sharp clicks of boots snapped against the cold dungeon air as a high-headed, cold-hearted sorceress stood proudly in front of the old man. Dark hair, wild like a bloodthirsty animal, contrasted sharply against her pale, creamy skin. A dangerous smile lingered on her lips, watery green eyes gleaming with malice as she tilted her head to survey her prisoner with mock sympathy. ~ Heads up, this fic is as straight as a ruler, so don't be expecting gay smut. I warned you!Complete

I Don't Belong Here
🛑DISCONTINUED🛑 Randomly sent back in time into a different universe, Y/n finds herself in a world of magic and knights and mythical creatures. Having no clue as to what is going on, other than the fact she knows what universe it is, she is stuck there with a new life until she can find a way back to her old universe. Hello! This is a Merlin x Reader. Not Merlin as in the person but Merlin as in the show itself. I thought it would be cool if I wrote a reader-insert-fic where I don't actually know what's coming next and I have to go with the flow. I have seen the first few episodes, I know the ships and I have seen edits on YT and Tiktok so I am familiar with the universe but I don't know the plot at all. Anyway, I thought this might be fun, let's see where this goes! Disclaimers: Mature rating for swearing and sex jokes (I'm notorious for them). I do not own Merlin, the story, or any of the characters, I do not own you either! The only thing that is mine is what Y/n does and how she is incorporated into the story.
