*Sequel Out now*

Kilgharrah may have told Merlin that nothing he could do would save the Once and Future King, but that doesn't mean he was right. The warlock takes things into his own hands when he revives Arthur at Avalon, but there are consequences for breaking a destiny written before the time of men.

Set just after season 5, Arthur slowly comes to grip with his friends' magic as they return back to Camelot, victorious from the battle of Camlan. Merlin tries his best to face his demons alone, but sometimes the constant pain, scars and tournament is not that easily overcome. The warlock faces his biggest trial yet... himself.

Destiny Defied by NeverEndedForMe

Guinevere Pendragon needs a king. A shadow from the past; a strong leader? Her hesitant friend; a fractured bond? Or loyalty; a man who's never left her side? Camelot is without a king. Guinevere is alone; only Sir Leon still stands by her side. Everyone else is gone. Ruling in grief is a challenge she thought she would face alone, but true to his word, Leon stays close, offering advice when she wants to give up. Offering friendship. Offering even a hint of... love? But then Merlin turns up; he didn't die, as Gwen had feared, and has returned. He's home in Camelot. Instead of the joy she'd expected, Gwen is struck by a startling anger. Friends don't abandon friends. Merlin is distressed- he never meant to abandon Gwen, but it seems she can't see his staying away as anything else. They'd been friends before, but maybe friendship isn't enough. Merlin is the most powerful sorcerer to walk this earth- there must be something he can do. Yet it seems no matter how hard he tries, he can't be enough. Because maybe Gwen needs something else. Someone else. Can Merlin resurrect the past for her- a dark and dangerous game? Or should the past stay in the past? As if the rising tensions within Camelot aren't enough, it seems a threat is lurking outside the kingdom. Whispers of an army led by a ghost. Time will reveal the threat is already deep within the castle- already close to the queen. It seems the past can't let go of Camelot, and with the eerie Cup of Life falling into the conflict, past mixes with future. Some ghosts are hard to bury, but maybe Gwen isn't after the past anymore. Camelot needs a new start. New leadership. New rules. The old ways versus the new. Fear. Respect. Magic. Fear alone cannot lead Camelot, respect must be earned, and magic holds an uncertain future. They'd all begun to think they were safe- but is Camelot even meant to have a future? Or is it doomed to follow the destiny of its past kings? To die- and leave them all devastated amidst its ashes.

It Comes the Dawn (Merlin Fanfiction) by ladyofthecelts

After every dusk and the darkest hour it always comes the dawn. ~ What if Merlin managed to take Arthur to Avalon? What if Arthur lived? Will they build a fair and just kingdom they dreamt of? Story begins from the moment when Merlin reveals his secret to Arthur. First and second chapter are quite similar to the events from the last episode of season 5, also, I added some changes, so don't get discouraged! 😃 I used it as an introduction to the story. PS: I don't own "Merlin" and characters from the series. _____ Top ranks: #1 in arthurianlegends #1 in knightsoftheroundtable #1 in aithusa #1 in knightsofcamelot #2 in gwaine

What If? {Merlin} by jokermadhatter

What if someone else had been there in Camelot? What if they magic? What if they taught Arthur and Morgana that not all magic is bad? What if they keep it a secret from Merlin? 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.

Albion: The Beginning of the End (A Merlin fanfic) - Book 1 by half_a_banana

"In a land of myth and a time of magic, the future of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a powerful man. His name...MERLIN." ☆☆☆☆☆☆ Destiny is changed as the death of the Once and Future King is denied by the Greatest Sorcerer who proves himself to be more than what prophecy claimed. Now it is up to the Warlock and the King to allow magic into Camelot and thus bring about the birth of Albion. However, changing destiny is no small feat and evil arises to cause havoc and devastation in order to prevent the creation of Albion. ☆☆☆☆☆☆ "He felt at peace. The Pendragon Dynasty would live on." ☆☆☆☆☆☆ DISCLAIMER I do not own any of the original characters and settings of this story. These belong to the creators of the BBC show MERLIN. Characters Axel, Cecilia, and Lord Murrin are my own as well as the plot of this story. Additionally, the fanart used for the cover does not belong to me.

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.
