Something Old, Something New
Merlin had long since given up that Arthur would return. He had moved on with his life, and was currently a detective in London. It was the year 2021, and Merlin was doing fine. He had friends. A best friend even, Iris, who was also his partner. He still missed Arthur, but he was no longer waiting for the prat's return. But when bodies start turning up with alarming similarities to things in Merlin's life, he dares to start hoping, that maybe, maybe it was time for Arthur's return. The background on the cover is not mine. I found it online and thought it looked cool so I added words on top of it. Also, Merlin belongs to bbc and the writers/creators of the show. Only the storyline and the OC's are mine.Complete

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!***Complete
