What would you do if you were trapped inside your mind? 
That every time you slept, the beast came out to terrorize the people you loved. 

After escaping Morgana's never ending torture, a series of killings breaks out in Camelot. At first, the only victims are servants, but Uther's fear leads him to believe the attacks are magical and will soon result in the death of his son. Trying to hide his trauma, Merlin will stop at nothing to ensure the safety of Camelot, but as the killing continues, he will soon learn that he is behind them only he has no memory of ever attacking. 

Going by the name Emrys, Merlin's double half has teamed up with his lover Morgana, and as a war brews between the sorcerers and the Pendragon's, Emrys is working as an inside man under Merlin's cover, killing off anyone who stands in his way. As he fulfills his role with Morgana in seeking Camelot's destruction, his destiny edges closer, and the prophecy of him being Prince Arthur's bane is nigh. After the death of Uther and his son, Emrys and Morgana will be able to claim the throne for themselves and welcome in a new era. One where magic is welcomed.

After discovering he has a dark half, Merlin sets out to find a way to stop the upcoming war and free himself from his inner monster, but the way doesn't seem easy. With the help of a letter from his father, he must learn to overcome Emrys before Emrys takes full control.

Two Sides of The Same Coin (Merthur)(Discontinued) by clementineme

Merlin and Arthur. There never was, nor would there be, a pair quite like those two. Arthur, the Once And Future king of Camelot; and Merlin, the greatest sorcerer of all time.

In the very beginning, Merlin had realized his love for his master, but then his master had realized his love for Morgana's old handmaid, Gwen. Merlin was heartbroken, but got over it, or at least he told himself that he had. Gwen has just been cast out of Camelot, and Merlin is rediscovering his old feelings for Arthur. Now Merlin has a chance, but will Arthur look at Merlin in the way Merlin looks at him? Only time can tell, but there is very little time for such things now. Morgana is plotting up some evil scheme that will kill Merlin, Arthur, the knights, and take over Camelot. With forces aligning behind her, there's a chance that Morgana may even win. As Merlin struggles to show Arthur his love, all of Camelot is in danger of Morgana's powerful magic. So what happens if Camelot falls?

The night Morgana gave birth to her daughter while she was asleep, Uther asked the sorceress to put Morgana under a spell..that she never knew she had a daughter. After the spell was done, Morgana never knew she had a child and no one ever spoke of it. She lived her normal everyday life. As of for her daughter, Uther sent her away to another kingdom far away from Camelot so there's more of a chance that Morgana will never find her.

We'll Always Be The Last To Fall by cassan_riviera

He does not remember the feeling of panic rising in his throat at the thought that he would not be discovered before he became nothing more than a dead corpse in a dead Queen's garden, an errant child out of bed after hours.' **** After a lifetime of living on the knife-edge of death, when a seventeen year old Arthur is nearly killed by a traitor to in the very heart of Camelot, all he gets is a second glance and an imperious command from his father that Arthur is to get a new manservant. What's worse is that all his protests seem to fall on deaf ears. Arthur doesn't exactly have the best history with manservants. And it seems like this one with Merlin is going to be shorter and worse than most. It is not just that he is forgetful, or disappears for days on end, but it seems like he had no grasp of common human behaviour. But despite everything, they manage to forge a friendship, and one night, long-kept secrets are revealed, pledges and sacrifices made, and a new era birthed.

It's not Betrayal by twixlea

"Merlin has-" The ghost of Uther Pendragon has told Arthur that Merlin has magic. Arthur struggles to deal with it, until he's forced to once Camelot has a familiar new visitor. ~ Morgana crooned to the guard, her words cold but soothing, smile apparent in her voice. The sharp clicks of boots snapped against the cold dungeon air as a high-headed, cold-hearted sorceress stood proudly in front of the old man. Dark hair, wild like a bloodthirsty animal, contrasted sharply against her pale, creamy skin. A dangerous smile lingered on her lips, watery green eyes gleaming with malice as she tilted her head to survey her prisoner with mock sympathy. ~ Heads up, this fic is as straight as a ruler, so don't be expecting gay smut. I warned you!

Swords & Spells (Book One):The Magic of Emrys by jayuswrites

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!***
