Summary
Merlin took under his care a young seer who asked for his help. Whether out of the goodness of his heart or his guilty concience, he didn't know.
What he did know was that the woman's dreams were now foretelling the return of his king.

She needs a plan, and she needs answers. Neither of these things turn out to be as simple as they seem, and Morgana begins to wonder if there could have been a different path for her after all.

Summary
« No young man, no young woman, no matter how great, can know their destiny. They cannot glimpse their part in the great story that is about to unfold. Like everyone, they must leave and learn. And so it will be for the young warlock and his sister arriving at the gates of Camelot... A boy and a girl that will in time father a legend. His name... Merlin. Hers... Millicent. »

Summary
Post Camlann, Arthur lives, and is wracked with guilt and grief. Merlin is still thinks Arthur is angry about the magic and the lies. Misunderstandings and heartache ensue.
(Inspired by Amy and Rory's fight after the breakup)
xxArthur shook his head again, interrupting before Gwaine could break the flow of his speech, a little afraid that if he didn’t get it all out, he would never have the guts to. “I’m going to free him. After we find the fomorrah and kill it, I’m going to let him leave. Maybe he’ll go back to Ealdor, maybe somewhere else.”
Gwaine’s eyes were wide, “Surely, you’re not serious.”
Arthur squeezed his eyes shut. “You’ve always been his.” Gwaine looked a little like child who had been caught doing something he shouldn’t, but he said nothing while Arthur continued. “Your loyalty has always been to him. Can I ask you this one last thing? Go with him, wherever he goes, I can’t bear the thought of him being hurt.”
“He will be safe here,” Gwaine said, softly.
“But will he be happy?”

Summary
Throughout five seasons and sixty-five episodes, we - and therefore Merlin - never once heard the actual prophecy that guided, led, and dragged our characters to their ends. There were quotes and excerpts, cliff notes and summaries, but never once the prophecy itself.
Merlin stood by Arthur’s side for more than a decade, working toward their shared future without ever once hearing the prophecy that foretold it.
How would things have changed if he had heard it?

But after he watches his father crush the last hope for saving his friend, doubts arise that threaten everything from before.

Together they will circle and clash and collide, making sparks that eventually will bring light to it all.

Summary
"My child," Gaius sighed when she tried to get him to say it.
"I'm not a child!" She spat.
She was a woman and she deserved to be treated as such. She deserved to know the truth about herself. Even if it terrified her.

A loving rant about Morgana Pendragon, who deserved better.

Summary
“Go on, then,” she says, and even now, she sounds self-possessed and regal as a queen.
He’s gathering his power, preparing himself to do what needs to be done (and to live with the guilt that will inevitably follow), when an agonizing pain erupts and spreads through the core of him. Looking down through eyes that have suddenly gone hazy, he sees the blade of Excalibur–he’d recognize it anywhere–sticking out of his abdomen.
Oh.
He’s been focusing on the wrong person.
And there is something that can kill him, after all.

Or: Camlann, but with less tragedy.

Summary
"I really wish there was something I could say." The words left his mouth before he could stop himself and he never thought a blow to the head was so deserved as at that moment when she stepped back from him uncertainly and shook her head, probably just doubting everything that had happened in the last few minutes.
What if Merlin had helped Morgana in 2x03 and not just sent her alone to the Druids? What if Morgana had not only come across Merlin that night she broke the vase, but also someone else? And what if it hadn't just been the accident with the vase and another person had seen how she actually use magic?

Summary
Following the departure of the Kings and Queens of Old, King Caspian X discovers the burden of his new crown. A kingdom on its own would be difficult enough to rule without the added complication of merging what once was with what already is. Two cultures, two peoples, under a single rule. Dreading the consequences of his early decisions, Caspian desperately yearns for greater advice. What he doesn't know, is what he's been given instead. A witch cast out of her own life, burned by family and betrayed by her own kind, Morgana Pendragon isn't sure how it is that she's still alive after Merlin killed her. But upon discovering the magic woven into the world around her, she becomes determined to find a place for herself in Narnia. When a man also wronged by his own people comes stumbling into her new life, Morgana turns her eye, once more, to a place on a throne.

Summary
Morgana managed to carve her own way. She spoke her mind and dealt with the consequences. She held on to her fencing training even though it wasn't lady-like. She didn't want a lady in waiting, and so she managed to get rid of her. She didn't want her maid to prepare intricate hairstyles for her most of the time. She'd let her curls frame her face madly, which drove Uther to insanity, but he learned to live with it.
Arthur was there through all of it. All the things they learned together.
OR
Morgana and Arthur are actual people with feelings, not caricatures of "bratty" royals. They grow up and become legends together, and they fall in love.
