Summary
For all the times Morgana begs Arthur to stay with her during the night, misappropriating her fears to that of the raging summer storms instead of the premonitions that visit her nightly always telling of his death, there is nothing she can say or do to keep him safe at her side when the dreams prove with each occurrence to be more and more so a tangible threat to his person.

Summary
It's been 2 weeks since Merlin became Arthur's manservant, since Arthur discovered his nature and it's- it's going greeeat.
Or about as well as expected for the son of a tyrannical king taught to hate and fear magic and a peasant who wields said magic and stands at the mercy of said son...
A man who chose clemency despite harsh life lessons, despite his own arrogance and ignorance.
How interesting.

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.

Summary
"Emrys will come!”
The words rang out across the courtyard. They seemed to go on and on, forever stretching beyond the courtyard and the castle walls. They extended out across all of Camelot and to some foreign kingdoms, crossing vast forests, rivers, and valleys.
Arthur was sure the whole world heard the dying sorcerer.

Summary
Lynette cared for magic but could never wield such wonder except in her dreams. As the physician's daughter, many people would find her helping the elderly with their large loads or playing with the children in alleyways. As a humble servant to her thriving kingdom, Lynette struggles to face the light of a new dawn in the war against magic. A light that manifests in her long-predestined fate as the one they call the once and future queen.
Arthur feared magic and all it had taken and could take from him. As the son of a king, most would find him training with his knights or at his desk with mounds of paperwork. As the kingdom's prince, Arthur held on to every moment of freedom until it was his time to rule. A luxury that would fade into darkness and give way to his fate as the once and future king.
Magic knew no bounds when it came to the constraints of destiny. It tended to morph and evolve until it was unrecognizable to all except those who knew it. An untamable force that struck fear into the hearts of many and yet longing in others. A destiny that weaves a sorcerer, servant, and prince into a chain of unpredictable events that would go down in history as legends in the Albion escapades.

Summary
"...'Not magic, idiot. You, Merlin' he clarifies without letting him go, little more than a murmur, 'you make me forget too much and I don't know what will happen because I can't forget who I am forever. I can't forget it'.
'I don't want you to forget' Merlin says immediately, without hesitation.
If there's one thing he's sure of - except his feelings - it's Arthur's destiny".Series
