    Summary

    “Good evening, my love! What kept you so long?” Arthur greeted him warmly as soon as he walked into the room.

    “Your what now?!” Merlin blurted out wide-eyed. Surely he couldn't have heard that right.

    But Arthur was unfazed by his apparent confusion and promptly planted a kiss on his lips as if it was the most natural thing in the world for him to do.

    Merlin accidentally stumbles into a timeline where Arthur seems to think he is his lover, and a very affectionate one at that. Now he just has to figure out how he got there, how can he get back to his own time and why Arthur keeps thinking about poetry.

    But little does he know that in this world he is a noble too and they are to be married within a month...

    Or: Arthur is not emotionally constipated and Merlin doesn’t know how to deal with that.

    Summary

    Turbulent times are approaching. Foreign invaders from without and growing animosity between the kingdoms from within threaten to plunge Albion into darkness.

    An alliance between Cornwall, a kingdom abundant in magic, and Camelot, a kingdom abundant in everything but, has been underway for months and it looks like the discussions are finally coming to a close. Much to their mutual displeasure, Princess of Camelot and the Prince of Cornwall are to be married, to solidify the alliance.

    However, unforeseen developments leave them with no other choice but become unlikely allies to protect their people from dangers known and unknown.

    The blonde knight, who she now recognised to be Arthur de Bois, noticed her first and signalled the other two. Coming to Camelot with a de Bois at his right hand? He was either shameless or mad. Morgana wasn’t sure which would be worse.

    Merlin broke away from the two and approached to meet her with an easy smile and a bow, “Princess Morgana.”
    It looked easy enough anyway.

    “Prince Merlin,” she returned his smile with a slight curtsey and an incline of her head, “We meet at last.”

    Summary

    When Prince Arthur turns 21, his father Uther thinks it's a great idea to marry him off. Only issue is: he's a tactless, sheltered bisexual who has absolutely zero ideas on how to woo one of his two princess suitresses... Lord help this man.

    Merlin definitely isn't jealous that one of the two princesses of Carenid, his foster sisters Helen and Celeste, get to marry a rich pretty boy from Camelot. And he'd totally not rather be back at home in the comfort of the castle with his mother while they're away. He's definitely pleased that he has to wait and watch on the sidelines for months... All of these statements are lies.

    Summary

    Merlin never really understood how two boys play-sparring with wooden swords in the training field turned into hiding in a tree trunk; the blond prince was quiet this time, though.

    Summary

    “Who am I to wed?”  

    Balinor and Hunith shared a nervous glance. Balinor knew this would be the hardest part—he wasn’t the most pleased about it either, but it was the best idea he had and, well, at least he knew his son would be marrying into a good family.

    Even if he held his own biases against the patriarch.

    Merlin stared on, expectant—arms now crossed over his chest in perhaps the least princely manner Balinor could picture. Hunith pulled her hand from his knee, and he braced himself, head high and shoulders back.

    “Arthur Pendragon,”

    or

    Balinor & Uther have a deep mistrust of each other due to a petty feud in their past friendship, and therefore the only way to bring their kingdoms together is through marriage--the only way they'll trust one another to not destroy their kingdom is if they are united.

    Summary

    Queen Ygraine lives, and magic isn’t banned even if it is on thin ice. Merlin comes to Camelot, and just as before he saves Arthur’s life, but this time he doesn’t need to keep his magic hidden, or hidden from Arthur at least.
    It’s all spoiled by the arrival of the Questing Beast. Once again, Nimueh takes Ygraine’s life to save Arthur’s.
    Magic is banned. Merlin finds himself fleeing Camelot in the wake, and Arthur finds himself torn between his obligations to his father, and the safety of the man he... his dearest friend.

    Summary

    Throughout the lands, sorcery is persecuted. It has been this way since before anyone can remember differently. Those who those who are caught using magic are persecuted, and when they are caught they are shown no mercy. For magic users, this means a life of hiding and fleeing. For one young warlock in particular, the hurt and loss he’s faced in the run for freedom has taken its toll.

    Or

    Prince Arthur and his knights are on a quest near Camelots borders when they encounter a party of slavers illegally transporting through Camelot lands. After defeating the slavers and setting most of their “cargo” free, the knights meet a young sorcerer bound by magic chains. He refuses to speak or trust his rescuers, which frustrates Arthur to no end, what with Camelot very publicly legalizing magic years ago.

    Summary

    When Arthur blows the horn of Cathbdhah for the second time, the horn doesn’t just send Uther to the other world. It sends Arthur away as well – to a world where Ygraine never died, the Great Purge never happened, and magic lives freely at court. As do those who practice it.

    Summary

    "why are you in a magical portrait?"
    "I could ask you the same question, and why are you on a horse?"
    or
    In which Merlin and Arthur as young and rosy-cheeked little boys first meet through mutual magical portraits (it's like facetime but magical). In which Uther never banned magic and Ygraine is still alive. In which Balinor is still alive and Merlin is a dragonlord with a different destiny.
