This is a Merlin Fanfic written by my friend Kyra.
What has happened to my world? The world I created as a safe haven for my children. Shattered. By Morgause, the stupid witch I thought had died. I had been betrayed by Gaius, Morgana, and probably Merlin.
"Well, you did, but how can anyone be loyal to a tyrant?" Morgause said coldly and calmly, "You have persecuted mine and Morgana's kind for something that could not have been helped. Just because Ygraine died to balance out the laws of the Old Ways so you could have a son? These are the ways of a tyrant."
I am not a tyrant. She is. I need to keep calm before I lose it.
"Arthur, listen to me. Do not follow your father's footsteps. He has lied to you about so many things. When I let you see your mother, how she said you were conceived was true. It was by magic. And Morgana, my dear Uther. Would you like to tell us the truth about Morgana? Or will you let me do the honors?"
"Never," I responded coldly. They must never know the truth.
"You will never betray anyone again Uther," Merlin spat, "I think it's time to tell the truth about a lot of things. If it weren't for you Uther, my father would still be alive. But since you killed the dragonlords, I have no father."

A Different Destiny / Merthur
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.

I Don't Belong Here
🛑DISCONTINUED🛑 Randomly sent back in time into a different universe, Y/n finds herself in a world of magic and knights and mythical creatures. Having no clue as to what is going on, other than the fact she knows what universe it is, she is stuck there with a new life until she can find a way back to her old universe. Hello! This is a Merlin x Reader. Not Merlin as in the person but Merlin as in the show itself. I thought it would be cool if I wrote a reader-insert-fic where I don't actually know what's coming next and I have to go with the flow. I have seen the first few episodes, I know the ships and I have seen edits on YT and Tiktok so I am familiar with the universe but I don't know the plot at all. Anyway, I thought this might be fun, let's see where this goes! Disclaimers: Mature rating for swearing and sex jokes (I'm notorious for them). I do not own Merlin, the story, or any of the characters, I do not own you either! The only thing that is mine is what Y/n does and how she is incorporated into the story.

It's not Betrayal
"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!Complete
