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!

So we meet again... (a merthur au)
[COMPLETE: 25/25✅] Do you ever feel such a deep connection to a complete stranger that you feel as though you know them from somewhere else, from a long time ago?

More Than A Servant
*Starts out in the same timeline as Servant Of Two Masters* Merlin and the Knights are out on a trip, when they are suddenly attacked by a group of bandits. Merlin ends up getting hurt and is eventually captured by Morgana. Originally, she plans to use him to kill Arthur. However, what would happen if she were to see his scars? What if she were the one to discover that there's more to Merlin than meets the eye? How will she react when she finds out that Merlin is more that just a servant? ***** So like I said before this starts out with like the first 5 minutes of A Servant of Two Masters. If you have seen the scars type of stories before, this is a little bit like that. The difference is, it's Morgana that sees his scars first, which sparks some interesting conversations. Disclaimer: This is not a Merthur story. There may be some Mergana... Also I do not own any of the characters or setting or stuff like that. Hope you enjoy the story!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.
