Summary
Because if there are places where magic survives in the 21st century, one of those places is surely Oxford. Because the fellowship of Camelot deserved happier fates than the show gave them. Because it's hard for a king to save the world, and harder for a prophecy to be broken. And because, though there are many imaginings of what happened to Merlin, surviving into a new world, I wanted to write this one.
This work is tagged for Arthurian mythology (and related fandoms) because, as some readers may notice, I've borrowed ideas from medieval literature and modern retellings, which will be acknowledged in the respective chapters.
Weekly updates planned for Wednesdays; begun 10 June 2020.

Summary
Someone rounds the corner, stepping from kitchen to living room, wearing slim jeans and a white shirt, both of which are now stained with red wine. The someone is tall and fit and unbelievably familiar, shiny golden hair mussed up fashionably and pretty pink lips set in a delectable scowl.
Holy fucking shit, Merlin thinks, it’s him.
“It’s you!” Arthur gasps rather theatrically, pointing at Merlin as though everyone in the room doesn’t already know who he’s talking about.
Or: Merlin gets his own hashtag on Twitter. Don't ask him how, he doesn't know. All he knows is that Arthur is out of his league, and Gwen is the best friend in the universe.

Summary
Arthur huffed, “If I’d known you’d turn into such a grouch I never would have died.”
Merlin scowled.
The warlock shot up from his bed and stalked out of his room, leaving the former king in his wake. He barely gave himself time to snatch his coat from the floor to warm up his freezing shoulders.
“Too soon? Merlin- look, I’m sorry, come back!”
Or: A week after Merlin buried his best friend and other half in Avalon, said best friend and other half that he buried in Avalon is suddenly trailing after him like a lost puppy. A dead lost puppy. That came back as a ghost. Merlin was going to scream.

Summary
Elyan Pendragon was a perfectly normal young boy, as far as that goes normal being relative and all.
If you asked his mother she would tell you she could have asked for no better. A kind, gentle child but quite as headstrong as both of his parents, which the Court Sorcerer would complain about at length if given the chance. Though there would be no hiding the fondness in his eyes as he did so.
If you asked Magic it would whisper of no great Destiny, no Prophesy to dog his steps and the Court Sorcerer would say, with a quiet sadness behind his eyes, that there was no better portent to be had.

Summary
I've arrived (almost) a decade late with an episode tag. On a rewatch of the show, I was struck by how desperately sad "The Secret Sharer" is. It's all very well to say, as Merlin does, that Arthur will have to be told about magic... but how is that possible in this Camelot? In the aftermath of torture and destruction and betrayal, Arthur makes a not-quite-apology... and Gaius, convalescent, watches Merlin and thinks about magic and the king he serves. Gaius' POV.

Summary
With Arthur dead, Camelot's destiny has soured--if it was ever any good to begin with. Gwen is fed up with grief and mediocrity and takes matters into her own hands, returning to the start to make a better Camelot or break history trying. Knighthood, rekindling her first love, and Merlin's silly almanac are all just byproducts.
