Summary
Set immediately after the end of Season/Series 2, Uther finds out that Arthur has yet to “claim” his manservant. Having given the boy to his son with just such a purpose in mind, Uther decides that if Arthur isn’t going to use Merlin, he will. The act of forcing himself upon the young warlock reveals that the boy possesses certain physical anomalies that prove him a Dragonlord and grants Uther control over Merlin's gifts. Whatever Uther demands, Merlin must comply. However, the hand of destiny is a strange one and by usurping Arthur’s intended position in Merlin’s life, Uther “inherits” his son’s destiny with this act. With Merlin’s vast powers at his command he forcibly unites all the lands of Albion under his harsh and tyrannical rule, continuing to hunt down & seek to destroy all magic users he can't control…as well as any others foolish enough to oppose him. Arthur is forced into a position where he must seek unlikely allies to stop his father’s reign of terror & rescue Merlin from his enslavement under his father’s hand.
The 2 Most Brutal Scenes have been marked so that anyone who wishes to can avoid them & skip to the rest of the story. It's pretty self-explanatory . -

Summary
The same year Morgana Pendragon was born to an experimental test subject in the labs at Camelot Pharmaceuticals, the company invented a drug that cuts Cerebral Hyperactivity Disorder (CHAD) in half, rendering so-called sorcerers (sufferers of CHAD) incapable of practicing "magic" and therefore no longer default enemies of the United States. Instead, they are patients.
At 23 years old, Morgana and two other illegally unmedicated CHAD sufferers carried out an unsuccessful attempt on the life of Camelot's CEO, Uther Pendragon. Now, ten years later, Morgana's magic stays locked under her skin, a dull itching reminder of the mistakes she once made. Every night she sleeps through prophetic dreams. Every morning she vomits them out as the drugs coursing through her blood scour any lingering memories from her REM cycles. She visits the hospital, her parole officer, and the club where she tends bar. She injects herself with the required barrage of medicines. She keeps her head down and snarls at anyone who approaches with a curious, "Aren't you the Pendragon girl, the one from the trial?" She is done with dreaming.
Until Morgause walks back into her life, pursuing her, whispering in her ear. Until the story begins again.Series

Summary
Merlin pulled the white duvet to his chest and wondered if Freya still existed in the city - the bright of her smile in the twinkling lights of billboard signs, her hidden darkness in winding alleyways. He wondered if he could ever look out at the city without thinking of Freya, and then wondered why he'd ever want to.
Merlin discovers just how hard it is to rebuild a life when he's lost everything after the suicide of his girlfriend Freya. With Morgana and Gwen supporting and pushing him, Merlin begins to confront not only the future but also the past. However the sudden arrival of Arthur and his boyfriend Gwaine shows Merlin a new future, perhaps before he's ready. -

Summary
One accident changes Arthur's life forever. Now he is living with an amnesiac housemate in a crumbling cabin in a town so small most maps forget. He isn't sure which is more troubling, the fact he is deeply attracted to someone who might possibly have a family waiting for him, or the odd things which seem to keep happening ever since they met.

Summary
Someone has butchered five of Camelot's best not two leagues from the castle gates, and left a blunt note: 'Bring us Emrys.' Already struggling with the sudden distance between Arthur and himself, even as Arthur tentatively explores the idea that all magic is not evil, Merlin must find the killers before anyone else is hurt. With Elyan at his side, Merlin rides to meet the Catha priest Alator, to invite Gaius' kidnapper to Camelot as an ally. Upon their return, all manner of magic users converge on the city, and Merlin quickly finds himself the unspoken leader of a rag-tag magical encampment, when all he wants is for things to go back to the way they used to be: when Gwen's smiles were genuine, Aithusa adored him, and Arthur's love wasn't so utterly, absolutely out of reach.

Summary
The plan was simple: Arthur Pendragon was to scout out the seaside town of Ealdor without anyone knowing he was there on behest of his father’s hotel company. It was supposed to be "get in, swoop in on prime real estate before the competition gets to it, then get out." Funny how the plan didn’t include Merlin Emrys, a self-proclaimed “psychic” who swore Arthur’s life was in danger the longer he stayed in town.
Not to mention what to do when it turned out Merlin was right.

Summary
Starting up where season three left off, this is a story about rejecting the fate laid out for you and about forging your own destiny. Most of all, though, this is a story about rain.
Morgana has disappeared, taking her half-dead sister with her, and Uther won't wake up. As Arthur tries to come to grips with ruling Camelot, he's hindered by the unnatural rains which are trying to conquer all of Albion. Quests! Mordred! Magical plots!

Summary
Dragons are feared and mistrusted throughout Albion, and there are very few of them left in Camelot, for Uther’s long campaign against magic also included hunting down all the dragons in the wild. Now, Camelot is recovering from the invasion of Cenred and Morgause's army. Prince Arthur is the one in charge, and Merlin finds out that his secret regular visits to the covert haven't been very secret at all. There's a great deal of manly bonding with the Knights, inquisitive dragons being inquisitive, and a record-breaking number of near-death experiences for Merlin. And this is before he gets his very own dragon. (A Merlin/Temeraire fusion.)

And maybe, when faced with losing their connection, Merlin and Arthur start to rekindle a latent flame.
