Summary
Loneliness is an insidious thing. When Merlin looks at Arthur, he sees not just a prince waiting for his time to rule, but a young man struggling to find his place in the world, with little help from anyone else.
The truth is, Arthur needs more than the friendship Merlin can offer. He needs people he can trust: men and women who will become his court and his confidants, and if he is going to survive to take the throne and lead Camelot into its golden age, he needs them sooner rather than later.
Finding loopholes in Uther’s laws is no easy feat. Court life is a dangerous game, but it’s one Merlin has every intention of winning so that Arthur can have knights of his choosing by his side.
And then there is the matter of his magic…

Summary
If serving Arthur was Merlin's destiny, then why was Morgana the one he felt inexorably drawn to?
Every time his thoughts followed this trail, he felt the press of the dragon’s prophecy, the beast's rasping words so potent it was as if they were etched into his skin like scales. Arthur was the one he was meant to serve. Arthur was the one who would make it safe for magic users to thrive once again in Camelot.
So why was it Morgana he couldn’t help but fixate on?
--
OR A Morgana-centric BBC Merlin rewrite in which Merlin doesn't blindly listen to Gaius and finds connection with Morgana amongst the dangers of Uther's court. Burdened by destiny but hounded by desire, Merlin navigates the treacherous path of fate. Morgana attempts to walk the righteous road but makes difficult, and often bad, choices in her quest for a just world.

Summary
I woke to a sunset town, a life I almost believed, and a boy who felt familiar in ways I couldn't explain. But Twilight Town was full of missing pieces, and every time I reached for the truth, something slipped further out of place. Beneath it all was a pull, quiet and impossible, drawing me toward a light I couldn't remember but somehow knew. And when the town began to fall apart, I realized the life I'd been given was only the beginning of what I had forgotten.

Summary
With the 20th anniversary of the Purge looming large there is no single place in the world where Merlin would like to be less than the citadel of Camelot. Unfortunately for him, he may not have much of a choice in the matter.
The situation rapidly goes from "dire" to "fucking apocalyptic" when a witch-hunter gets added to the mix. Suddenly his most immediate problem is no longer convincing the court physician Gaius that, yes, he does have a nephew; and no, the nephew in question doesn't really, actually want to kill the interminable pain in the butt most commonly known as Prince Arthur Pendragon (for all that the royal clotpole seems intent to persuade him otherwise). Suddenly, he's in more danger than he's ever been before. And his life isn't the only one on the line.
He's got less than two weeks to set up and pull off the heist of a lifetime, right under the nose of a man who can sniff out magic like a bloodhound—and seems to have his eye on Merlin in particular.

Summary
"Merlin of Ealdor you are charged with using sorcery in the heart of the citadel during an attack by an assassin sent by Morgause, and Morgana. How do you plead?" Arthur asked trying not to let his voice tremble.
He looked at the man he loved who was shackled in chains beneath his stare, and he didn't see fear, he saw trust? After all this did Merlin still have faith in him?
------------------------
Merlin always knew the day would come that his magic would be revealed, but he never imagined this would be the result. He knew Arthur cared for him, more then he would often say, but he didn't realize how deep that care, that love would go to 'protect' him from what Arthur deemed a danger.
After all, Merlin would do anything for Arthur, but so would Arthur, and through that love and devotion, many lines would be crossed.
Lines that leave you wondering whether you can ever come back from? And whether the great future of Albion, the freedom of magic, and Merlin himself could ever be found or would Merlin be forever bound chained in iron to his great destiny?
