Once again, Arthur and the knights make the wonderful decision to go on a hunting trip. To no one's surprise, something is bound to go wrong. They are met with an ambush and a mysterious sorcerer with a pair of magical cuffs. Instead of putting them on Arthur, which is what everyone expected, she decides to give them to Merlin instead.
Unbeknownst to all of them, the cuffs are made to control one's magic and bind it to another's command. How will Arthur and the knights react? And what does she want with them?
***
Descriptions are not my thing but here you go! Important things to note:
- Takes place after season 3
- Uther's alive, but not really useful (kind of went crazy after Morgana's betrayal)
- Lancelot's alive!!!
I think that's about it. Enjoy!

*Sequel to Bound* If you have not read the previous story "Bound" go back and read it! This won't make much sense otherwise. But... I'll put a short summary to refresh your memory. *** Almost a year ago, Merlin and the knights were captured by the sorceress Edith. Due to her magic-controlling manacles, Merlin was imprisoned and forced to use magic under her control. Incidentally, Camelot's crew and Morgana crossed paths. Now, they are all back in Camelot. Merlin's free, Morgana is imprisoned but she is warning up to the idea of Camelot and those who live there. But what now? Have they really seen the end of Edith? What will it mean for the kingdom when Arthur is crowned king? Merlin, Arthur, Gwen and Morgana will face new struggles and come across new power. See how it all unfolds!Complete
TWO PRINCES - Merthur
"It would be almost surprising, how swiftly Arthur betrays Merlin, if not for the fact that it is entirely in character for the prince to do whatever he can to torture the sorcerer at any given opportunity, "apologies, Prince Claudin," Arthur says, a devilish smile spreading across his face that causes Merlin to gulp, audibly, "my manservant here was just offering his professional services while you are visiting." Merlin almost drops the scrolls he is almost entirely convinced Arthur made him carry to be a nuisance, rather than because they were needed for any specific part of the introductions, but he manages to catch them all at the last second." //Set in season 4 sometime after Uther's death but before Arthur's coronation.//Complete
Merlin: The Secret
This is a Fan-Fiction based upon the BBC series 'Merlin': Merlin is busy as usual working as King Arthur's servant. He rarely gets a good night's sleep, and it's beginning to take its toll on him. The king begins to notice. Love is growing between Arthur and Gwen, which is a joy to some, but a curse to others. Morgana goes all in to prevent Gwen from taking her place as queen beside Arthur on the throne of Camelot. She is prepared to do anything to win and is now more determined than ever to discover who Emrys truly is. Will Merlin be able to keep up appearences and at the same time fulfill his destiny? Will he have enough strength to defeat Morgana? And perhaps most importantly; will Arthur finally learn the truth? It becomes clear to Merlin that he must guard his secret with even greater care - or it might no longer hold. One thing is for sure; everyone is in for a surprise as the story unfolds... (Continued in my other story "Merlin; The Land Of Albion") :DComplete
We'll Always Be The Last To Fall
He does not remember the feeling of panic rising in his throat at the thought that he would not be discovered before he became nothing more than a dead corpse in a dead Queen's garden, an errant child out of bed after hours.' **** After a lifetime of living on the knife-edge of death, when a seventeen year old Arthur is nearly killed by a traitor to in the very heart of Camelot, all he gets is a second glance and an imperious command from his father that Arthur is to get a new manservant. What's worse is that all his protests seem to fall on deaf ears. Arthur doesn't exactly have the best history with manservants. And it seems like this one with Merlin is going to be shorter and worse than most. It is not just that he is forgetful, or disappears for days on end, but it seems like he had no grasp of common human behaviour. But despite everything, they manage to forge a friendship, and one night, long-kept secrets are revealed, pledges and sacrifices made, and a new era birthed.Complete
Something Old, Something New
Merlin had long since given up that Arthur would return. He had moved on with his life, and was currently a detective in London. It was the year 2021, and Merlin was doing fine. He had friends. A best friend even, Iris, who was also his partner. He still missed Arthur, but he was no longer waiting for the prat's return. But when bodies start turning up with alarming similarities to things in Merlin's life, he dares to start hoping, that maybe, maybe it was time for Arthur's return. The background on the cover is not mine. I found it online and thought it looked cool so I added words on top of it. Also, Merlin belongs to bbc and the writers/creators of the show. Only the storyline and the OC's are mine.Complete
Merlin's Son: A Tale old as Time • Merthur
Freya lives the attack, only just. But when she dies giving birth, Merlin's Son is born just before the Tears of Uther Pendragon, what will Merlin do to protect his child? What will Arthur do, when he finds out? Based of the series, but not completely. Featuring Merthur, Arthur 'not being a stupid prat', Good Morgana, Gwen and Lancelot and a whole lot of cuteness. Here's a snippet from one of the chapters: "I do not want your gold! I want to live without being hunted, without fear. I want magic to be alive again!" He said and Arthur grinned. He didn't even have to think about it. Anything for you, Merls. "Done." --- *Disclaimer* I can't take credit for the cover as I found it on Pinterest, I don't own Merlin either, if I did Merthur would be more than just fanfiction, all rights go to the creators.

No Man Is Worth Your Tears (Merthur)

Something that can't happen between them, not with Uther as king. Will their love be more powerful than the fear they feel? "We look each other in the eyes. I could drown in his blue eyes. I'm getting closer. My heart is racing. I feel warm. My eyes drops to his lips. I need to kiss him. I feel my stomach upside down. He's coming closer too. We're two inches distant. Slowly I place my lips on his. They're really soft and warm. We kiss. It's a gentle kiss. Our lips are synchronized. I grab his face with my hands, bringing him nearer. We keep kissing and when we move away a thought hits me. This can't happen. If my father finds it out, he will kill him. I don't want to hurt Merlin."
