Summary
Merlin is captured by Morgana after the events of Camlann. The battle was won by Arthur and his knights reigning a victory for Camelot. Lancelot isn't dead. Arthur never got stabbed by Modred, the prophecy turned out to in fact be incorrect. No one had learned of Merlins power, but they will, thanks to his screams in Morganas castle. The druids turn to Arthur to save him.
Remember when Morgana broke Gwen's mind with straw poppets? Well Merlin has it 100x worse. -

Summary
The first time Emrys sees him, he almost doesn’t recognise him. He almost looks past the teenaged frame and the baseball cap, but raucous laughter slows his step and he finds himself turning, looking again, looking closer, longer. He keeps looking and the laughter dies eventually and whispers follow soon after.
It’s summer, a Tuesday, he’s out grocery shopping and there’s a teenaged Arthur Pendragon on the streetwalk, skateboard in hand and cronies all around.

Summary
TW: EXTREME GORE/GRAPHIC RAPE. DEAD DOVE. DO NOT EAT.
(Cover photo shows a bit of blood.)At 14, Arthur endures brutal torture in pointless human experiments by extremely attractive, human-like aliens. Among them is prodigy 16-year-old Merlin, a cruel alien boy scientist who quickly becomes twistedly obsessed with Arthur. Arthur is soon purchased as a pet by Merlin and removed from the lab, where Merlin is determined to break him down and mold him into someone who will return his affections, no matter how many millennia it takes. Arthur clings desperately to his hatred as the last part of his identity.
He refuses to give in to Stockholm Syndrome.
(This fic is disgusting, horrid, the most frightening thing you've consumed this year. It's morally questionable. That's kind of the point. First few chapters is TORTURE PORN. Think Terrifier 3 but a love story lol.)

Summary
"If it's a girl we'll call her... Katherine." he remembers his wife told him once while stroking her prominent belly.
"And if it's a boy?"
"Hmm... I'll leave that to you."
He didn't bother to think of one. He thought that when the time came the right name would come to his lips and now he wouldn't even have the chance to do that.
OR
Where Uther didn't only lose his wife to magic, but his only son and heir was kidnapped by a mystery sorcerer

Summary
Slightly a canon rewrite? Most of it is written from Arthur’s POV with some exceptions.
Arthur is a basically sweetheart in this, he wants to be the protective scary boyfriend that everyone fears but that is actually Merlin. It is a slow burn but that is only one sided, Arthur is very quick to be intrigued but Merlin wants nothing to do with him for the most part which does change. In simple terms: Merlin is basically Arthur’s anchor of self restraint.
I don’t think we seen enough of powerful merlin and there were times that he deserved to go all out. He has a hero’s heart but a villains mind and I wanted to encapsulate that in this.
The slow burn is real but the protectiveness starts very early.
