    Summary

    Extract from ‘Knights of the Temples: The Prince Arthur Story’ by T. H. Blanc, published 2021:

    'There we have it. Violence, intrigue, danger, romance, and self-sacrifice. In a couple of short months, Captain Arthur Pendragon, eldest son of The Most Honourable The Marquess of Camelot, Lord Uther Pendragon, almost singlehandedly dismantled one of the most covert and sinister arms of the Axis Powers’ military forces, ensuring that its leader and the secret weapons she had designed would never again see the light of day. '

    OR: The story of a young nobleman who couldn't stand by when his country needed him, and his loyal companion who would follow Arthur to the very ends of the Earth if he had to.

    Summary

    Heading through to the kitchen, Merlin went to flick the kettle on, stopped by the note propped up against it. ‘Bedroom ;) xxx’ it read in a familiar, untidy scrawl—although the author had evidently tried his best to print it slightly more neatly than usual. Merlin shook his head at the hand-drawn winky face, before actually taking in what the note said. He took the stairs two at a time, crashing into his childhood bedroom, stopping dead a step inside the doorway.

    Gwaine surprises Merlin with an early Christmas gift.

    Summary

    Destiny plays a cruel game with us. It lets us hope, lets us believe we are in control, just for things to end the way we knew they would anyways. But sometimes, to it’s very favorites, destiny will be kind. One of those favorites is Merlin. And what if this time it will actually end differently? What if this time he would find a way to show Morgana that violence was not the only option? What if this time, he could help Mordred not loose his loyalty. What if this time he could be honest with this man earlier on? Share his secret with him and show what magic can also be. Show him the beauty and peace it can bring. And what if this time he could build the courage to tell Arthur how he truly felt, before it will be too late again? If he could do all those things, could the ending truly be changed? Could he watch Arthur be the king he was destined to be instead of watching the love of his life die in his arms without him ever truly knowing what he meant for the young warlock? Merlin wasn’t sure. Anything he had ever done to try and change the cause of events had led to the exact situations he tried to avoid. But if destiny gives you a chance like this, you use it. Even if it may just mean reliving your losses once again…

    Summary

    Yuletide in Camelot was a complicated thing.

    Merlin had grown up with simple winter traditions: small gifts left on windowsills, bread shared between neighbours, his mother humming old songs while the snow piled against the door. Ealdor’s winter had been cold, yes, but it had been kind — a quiet, honest cold that wrapped around you and sat beside you at the fire.

    Camelot’s Yuletide, by contrast, was a spectacle sharpened to a shine. Crimson and gold banners layered every wall and archway, richer and heavier than usual. Courtiers drifted through the halls in velvet and fur, jewels bright at throats and wrists, their laughter ringing too loud, as if joy were something that had to be proven by volume alone.

    Below, the lower town seethed with it all — stalls packed into every sheltered corner, merchants shouting over one another, the air thick with spice and smoke and roasting chestnuts. It was dazzling, overwhelming, impossible to escape.

    And above it all, the castle tradition: the Gift of the Longest Night.

    Summary

    Merlyn is the ward of Uther Pendragon. Arthur Pendragon and Merlyn are chaotic siblings and Sir Leon being a tired older brother.

    If Leon, first knight of Kamalot and soul mate of two Pendragons, had been told in advance how chaotic his life would be, he probably would have laughed or fled. It all began a few months ago, when both of them began to think about the future. Something he should be proud of, if it weren't for Arthur and Merlyn.

    Summary

    1500 years after Arthur's death, Merlin roams the land, awaiting the day Arthur returns. He watches time pass in a blur and makes a new friend in an awfully familiar blond cat called Arddwr. Merlin just wasn’t aware of how lonely his birthday was until he was forced to live through them without company.

    Or

    Every year on Merlin's birthday, someone from Camelot returns to his side.

    Summary

    After Arthur disobeyed his father and retrieved the Mortaeus flower for Merlin's cure, Arthur's frantic pleading to save Merlin led to a misunderstanding that actually convinced Uther to take the flower to Gaius.

    Now all Arthur has to do is explain to Merlin why Uther thinks they are lovers.

    And while Uther is supportive of the relationship, he requires it kept secret. But in his paranoia, Uther misinterprets every innocent interaction between the two as something far more intimate, to the embarrassment of everyone involved.

    And then the knights begin showing up...

    Update 27/04/2024: This is long and in-process. So consider a break between story arcs!

    Arc 1 - (chapters 1-32, 90k words) What happens when you accidentally tell your father you're gay and in love with Merlin and he ships it hard? You make it true.
    Arc 2 - (chapters 33-70, 110k words) What happens when your father sends you to court someone you have no interest in? Side quests and Gwaine.
    Arc 3 - (chapters 71+, in progress) What happens when your father invites every eligible woman to Camelot so you can find your wife like you promised in exchange for saving Merlin? Chaos.

    Summary

    Merlin has magic,” Uther’s words hit Merlin like a ton of bricks, the spirit disappearing as if it was never there.

    Merlin closes his eyes, letting out the breath he’s been holding. He feels his back hit the door behind him, holding himself up against it. He doesn’t look at Arthur, just waits.

    One breath, two breath, three breath. Nothing.

    Merlin opens his eyes, looking up, half expecting Arthur to have disappeared to alert the guards. Arthur is staring at him, he is stock skill, breath coming out ragged and uneven. He looks crushed and not just from expelling his father’s spirit but that must also have contributed to it.

    “Arthur,” Merlin tries, swallowing when his voice shakes with the anticipation of Arthur’s reaction.

    “Is it true?” Arthur asks, his voice quiet but stern, he still holds the horn tightly in his grip by his side, his knuckles white with the force.

    “Arthur I-“

    “Yes or no, Merlin,” Arthur interrupts, voice suddenly louder in the empty corridor, he looks Merlin in the eye while he nods wordlessly before looking away, “you-you do. You would betray me? You?”
    ---
    In which Arthur find out from spirit Uther about Merlin's magic.

    Summary

    For the first three days and nights after he Remembered, he attempted to drown himself in a tankard of mead. It didn't work. All he could think of was that he failed.

    The thing about tough love was that it hurt you as much as it did the other person. Percival was willing to endure that pain as long as his brother was safe.

    Summary

    After six days of being locked up, he could feel it bubbling trying to find an escape but there was nowhere to go. No outlet. It felt like he was being held under. Not able to take a breath. Like his legs were trapped in seaweed and his body was itchy with salt water.

    And it wasn’t even the worst part.

    Thorin's Company is left by Gandalf as they enter Mirkwood. But, fortunately for them, another maiar decides to help them.
