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 🙌

Now Merlyn travels to Camelot with her son and daughter a few years later to fill out the prophecy of the once and future king and the future of Albion.

( Merlin is female, and hopefully you find some good surprises in here) *tw* I don't know if this is a trigger warning, or if it needs to be, but there are spicy smut Content.

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.

*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. Revivals of key characters Descriptions of torture Character deaths scars revealed *story started Oct 2020* *story finished 11th Jan 2021* I promise its better than the description, read to find out :)

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!***

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)
