tw: homophobia (internal and external) and violence
-
Homosexuality was illegal. Anyone caught practicing homosexuality was burned, beheaded, or drowned. Merlin didn't want that. He especially didn't want Arthur to be the one to turn him in.
Or kill him.
Shaking his head, Merlin pushed that thought away. Arthur was his friend. His 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥. Nothing more.
-
inspired by prompt that magic in Merlin is gay-coded
-
Rated Mature because of homophobia and violence that is a result of homophobia.

Fulcrum (Harry Potter/BBC Merlin Xover)
There are some things that are just not supposed to happen, some wrongs which should not occur--these are the things Merlin knows he and Arthur were brought into existence to prevent. Then of course there are also certain things that would make everything better if they happened, and folly or stupidity has stopped them from occurring--Merlin likes to put these back on track as well. Arthur calls that part meddling. Harry Potter finds himself in the middle of both. AU from the scene on the Astronomy Tower at the end of Half Blood Prince, and leaving out the unsatisfactory ending for BBC Merlin as well. Rated Mature for sexual content in later chapters (not violence).Complete

Always Be With You - Merthur
Merlin gets kidnapped by an unknown person and when he returns, he's different. Gaius finds out what causes it. The Fomorroh. Arthur and Merlin go on a quest to kill the mother beast while it's tranquilized, so they can protect Camelot from Morgause and Cenred. Gwen and Morgana are also a big part of the story and I write in their perspective too. (I have put it on AO3 as well, I am currently editing out spelling/grammatical errors there, because it's easier than on this platform, plus, I love going back and forth to compare, it shows me my growth as an author)Complete

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
