After Merlin is kidnapped on a hunting trip, Morgana casts a spell that forces Merlin to tell the truth. How will he keep his secrets from his friends? And when Morgana finally gathers the means to attack Camelot, what will Merlin do to stop it?
This is a Merthur fic, but not primarily focused on Merthur.
Doesn't really take place in a specific time, but Uther is dead. Lancelot is alive because he's a beautiful human being who didn't deserve his pain and I lowkey forgot to add Mordred in the beginning so he's working with Morgana for now.
Whump, fluff, angst, magic reveal

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

What if this person helped Morgana with her magic? What if this person became Arthur's best friend? What if this person is the unknown factor in the lives of Camelot? #1 in sirpercival #1 in gaius #1 in percival #1 in morganapendragon (Please don't leave negative comments, if you don't like it, don't read it) (I do not own any of these characters other than Kylynn and Maeve.

A Different Destiny / Merthur
A Merthur fic set in canon era. After two years of putting up with his useless excuse for a manservant, Arthur begins to suspect that there may be more to Merlin than meets the eye. But Merlin's not the only one with a secret. And maybe destinies aren't always as they seem. AU where I use elements of all five seasons in a way that does not always comply with canon. WARNING: Contains: (some) violence, mentions of blood, and a lot of gayness (duh)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.
