How could Merlin carry on after failing his king and best friend? How could he live, knowing he wasn't enough? How could one man face the brunt of such a colossal failure? Merlin was one man, but he'll come to realise he's not alone.
________________________

This is a collection of interconnected one-shots/short stories of events following Arthur's death and the ups and downs of Merlin's journey through time. Some stories will be through the eyes of various characters who survived the season 5 finale.

Expect lots of ANGST, but with hopeful tones, and also comfort and some humour. I want my Merlin to have happy days too! 

I have lots planned but will take requests too. Can't guarantee anything but I love and appreciate getting new ideas from readers.

Updates every Saturday!

P.s. Wish I found this show 10 years ago, but here's to hoping the fandom lives on in 2023 🙌

Revealfic set after 4x10: The Druid boy leaves a lasting impression on Arthur and in an attempt to fulfill his promise to the spirit he sets out to find the Druid tribes of Camelot and bring them together to make peace. He learns of stories, prophecies and of Emrys. He also can't get it out of his mind that the Druids are acting strange around his manservant, but he is sure the truth will come out soon enough, after all- Merlin couldn't keep a secret if his life depended on it. (From a prompt on fanfic.net: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12508342/5/100-Merlin-Prompts. The original idea is of course, that of 'MerlinEmrysBAMF', but the story is mine.

A Different Destiny / Merthur by Kat_Winters
27 parts Complete
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)
Swords & Spells (Book One):The Magic of Emrys by jayuswrites
22 parts Complete
Emrys has always known that it is her destiny to turn the spoiled Prince Arthur Pendragon into the greatest king Camelot has known since magic was expelled from the kingdom. But if Emrys guides Arthur to his destiny, she leads herself to her own doom. Emrys hopes to be able to change her fate, but it's hard to focus on that when she's busy trying to keep the prat of a prince from being killed by everything else. ***This is a fanfiction based on the BBC show Merlin and features MAJOR canon divergent. There are original characters in this, some taking place of canon characters and others added in as side characters. Many of our favorite characters will both look and act a little differently, as such, but this is just to help them all fit better together. This story contains a lot of original plot points, with a sprinkling of beats from some favorite episodes, but I hope you'll give it a chance and still enjoy it!***

Pls do read this! It starts out bad but I get better at writing as time passes! This is a merthur one shot book it is going to be almost all fluff maybe one or two angst. I will not write smut. Unfortunately I don't own Merlin or any of the other characters. They belong to the bbc Merlin. I made this cuz some fanfics that I wanna see don't get written so here they are. Also I know this is rated mature, but that is not because of the naughty!!! That is because I am sometimes to eager and able to write gore. So be prepared my beautiful children!

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
