After Uther discovers Merlin's magic, he decides to treat him a little differently due to him being Arthur's manservant for 3 years. He wants to hurt him like he's never been hurt. That destroys Merlin, the hatred he feels for Uther is the only thing he can think of. Merlin allies his prior enemies and does everything to destroy what he once called home and people he once called friends.
But is it possible, that Arthur, the man Merlin risked his life for so many times, son of the person who ruined his life, will change his mind? Will he be able to bring Merlin back to the bright side?
My first fic, hope it's not totally shit :))

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)
After Freya's death Merlin thinks he'll never find love again. But he couldn't be more wrong. As Arthur tries to cheer up his manservant they both discover something. 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."

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
