    Summary

    Uther Pendragon’s hatred of magic is so out of the realm of reason that even Arthur can see it is bordering on the perverse. Ordered to hunt down and kill a band of renegade sorcerers, Arthur makes a fatal mistake that could cost Merlin his life. Will he be able to set aside a lifetime of his father’s indoctrination and accept magic in order to save his servant and friend? And what will the repercussions be if he does? How far is he willing to go to stop his father's reign of terror and to protect the people most important to him? When your destiny was written at the dawn of time can a single decision alter it forever?

    Summary

    “Merlin has magic…”

    Three words uttered by Uther Pendragon’s spirit sets off a chain of events that will dramatically alter the lives of not only Merlin and Arthur, but everyone around them. Before Arthur can fully come to terms with his friend’s betrayal Merlin is captured by a vengeful Morgana who knows he is Emrys. Fearing for his life, Arthur sets out on his own to find his friend and bring him home…hopefully before Morgana’s army attacks Camelot.

    Merlin finds himself far from home, without his magic, and at the mercy of Morgana. When all her efforts to break Merlin fail, Morgana wonders just what it will take to crush his spirit. A desperate attempt to do so has a startling effect, not just on Merlin, but on Morgana as well. It forces them both to face the past and the feelings they thought long buried. Merlin knows the only way out is through and if he can bring Morgana with him then just maybe they could alter the path fate had laid out for them.

    Summary

    Somehow the thought of Merlin not being by his side had never crossed Arthur's mind. Not since the idiot peasant boy walked into his life more than three years ago. He couldn’t remember his life before Merlin. He didn’t want to know a world without Merlin’s goofy grin, his big ears, and those damned laughing eyes that saw right into the prince’s soul, opened him up like a book, and changed the whole story around to his liking. Merlin had made him a better prince; a better man and Arthur didn’t want to go back to the person he was before. The thought of one day being king and Merlin not being there was impossible to accept. He had lost his temper after finding out about Merlin's magic, and now he could lose him forever. His father somehow found out and sent men to hunt down and kill Merlin. Arthur had to get to him first. He had to warn him, protect him. That's if Merlin would even forgive him for what he did. Uther has put a price on his head and is on the verge of declaring war on his own people to get Arthur back. The prince may be next in line for the throne, but he will not sacrifice Merlin for it. He would gladly give it all up for Merlin.

    Summary

    The things Merlin is willing to do for Arthur...he should really learn when to keep his mouth shut. With a ball planned to celebrate Morgana's birthday, Uther has invited multiple eligible young women for the sole purpose of pushing Arthur to find a wife and secure the future of the kingdom. It worked with the jousting match when Sir William stood in for Arthur in the tournament. Why couldn't it work again with a stand-in princess? Merlin immediately regrets mentioning the idea because Arthur takes it seriously and decides that Merlin will make a beautiful princess. This is definitely not what Merlin had in mind...

    Summary

    “I came to properly say goodbye”, Merlin repeated.

    “What the hell”, Arthur said.

    “What do you mean, sire?”

    He walked to his bed, sat down and looked at Merlin again. “What the hell."

    ---

    Merlin was banished from Camelot after Freya accidentally told Uther's men about his magic and, with his mother not alive anymore, he was cursed to forever wander through the forests and roam over the mountains of this earth. Then one day, he decided to visit Arthur once again to properly say goodbye and to do something that he really regretted not doing before.

    Summary

    Now, Uther couldn't be redeemed. It's as obvious as it is certain that a task like this is impossible.
    But what would have to change to make him... at least acceptable?
    It's easy. Give him a heart.

     

    Alternatively: My attempt at writing an Uther who is mostly the same, but he actually cares about Arthur's and Morgana's wellbeing.

    Summary

    There is one rule in Camelot that everyone knows but they don't know they know: Merlin has magic and is such an idiot that he needs to be protected from execution, by any excuse possible.

    Except, perhaps not any excuse because that just causes problems now doesn't it...

    Summary

    There are quite a few things that Arthur found incredibly boring.
    He meant it. If it wasn't for Merlin – his adorably clumsy manservant – he probably wouldn't survive the council meetings his father forced him to attend.

    And then he gets a second Merlin.... from the future.
    And he is .... maybe a tiny bit insane.

    Summary

    And he really would’ve told Merlin all of this, if their bond, their companionship weren’t so vital for not only their future, but Camelot’s. But in all the small moments of short lived touches, ever-so-quickly fading loving smiles and just a tad too-long eye contact, he is just scared to break the beauty of what they are. They are everything and nothing, no label to restrict them and no borders to bind them. They have everything and nothing, and how could he ever dare to break their beauty?
