1	Untitled (1). In-canon reveal, end of ep.4.13 "The Sword in the Stone". Arthur observes Merlin save Gwen from Morgana with the collapsing corridor ceiling. Merlin's magic is the last straw for his low self-confidence, and after recommending Merlin's pardon to the council, Arthur abdicates, considering himself unworthy to be Camelot's king. Merlin won't accept this end of Arthur's reign, however, and follows Arthur hoping destiny has more in store for them than this. (Of course it does.)
2	"Past Faults and Future Perils" - time travel fic. Unable to best Merlin, Morgana devises a plot to trade her enemy with a past, younger self. young-Merlin arrives ten years into the future astonished at the changes free magic has wrought in Camelot - but questions his ability to defeat Morgana, even backed by his king and supportive knights. Meanwhile young-Arthur struggles with the arrival of ten-years-older Merlin, who must convince Arthur to allow him to perform the magic necessary to switch their places back.
3	Untitled (4) - A post-reveal story. Things remain uncertain between king and newly-revealed sorcerer, but enemies won't wait. Merlin finds himself transported to an interdimensional Perilous Lands populated by monsters, where time passes more swiftly. And after missing Merlin for only a month, Arthur received his former servant back almost unrecognizable for his year-long ordeal.
4	Untitled (5) - young Merlin's magic is observed in Ealdor by Caerleon and Annis, just passing through - and is offered adoption and the throne of Caerleon. Merlin learns what it means to be a prince and an enemy of Camelot - til the day he's captured by Prince Arthur's border patrol. Uther holds a prisoner with magic that he can't afford to execute, and Arthur meets a rational sorcerer for the first time. Distinct possibility of attempt at Mergana...
5	"The Eagle and the Bear" - King Arthur quests to assist his cousin in winning a bride. The group's first stop is the Oracle of Gwernabwy - only to find that Merlin is dead. Merlin's young son considers himself destined to aid Arthur... but Arthur's not initially impressed. (No MC death; shapeshifter!Merlin.)
6	"The Courage of Dragons" - modeled on Kipling's "Captains Courageous". Uther's war against the dragons and their lords is /not/ going well. Arthur falls in with the community of his father's enemies, known only to the son of their leader, Merlin; through their friendship will the war come to a head, or an end?
7	Untitled (3) - Merlin is captured as a young child and enslaved by Alined. Years later Arthur arrives on a diplomatic visit and finds himself not only thwarting an assassination attempt - but the new master of his would-be magical assassin. For his part, Merlin finds freedom in service for the first time.
8	Untitled (2) - features kid!thief!Merlin. Arthur's first official duty is to address the problem of crime in Camelot - and he finds his attention focused on a particular young pickpocket. Who ends up having magic, also.

Author has written 34 stories for Merlin, Star Wars, Fairy Tales, and Supernatural.

Current WIP: So here we go... "Past Faults and Future Perils", my first attempt at a time-travel fic, using the closed-loop model. This is one that was in a poll a very long time ago, it seems, so I feel honor-bound at this point to write it and post it... no promises on how long it takes, or whether it's the last one...

You know, I did rather think that spending time in this Merlin 'verse would help to make that series ending 'all right' for me... but I find it isn't so. I have many different ideas for short stories or longer works for this site. Some in canon, some a/u, some that could function as an entirely original stories with a change of name and description... I figure as long as I do NaNoWriMo with an original - and as long as people are still reading Merlin fanfic - I'll keep writing...

A Once and Future Destiny, The Emrys Strain, and The Artorius Blade. My first fanfiction plus two. Modern reincarnation series, wherein Merlin doesn't initially remember the rest - and struggles with a rocky past and the knowledge of his magic going public...

Kingdom Games - at the epic length of 31 chapters! As far as plot bunnies go (for any Hunger Games fans), this one was dynamite! Part 1 - Uther holds a to-the-death championship to choose his successor, but can there be two? Part 2 - Cenred challenges Uther to the same sort of tournament, winner take both kingdoms; enemies can become allies. Part 3 - a final 'game' to determine who is worthy to be high king of all Albion; destiny takes a hand.

Vortigern's Tower - my own version of the legend about young Merlin and the trapped dragons. The More Things Change - a semi-season rewrite, I'm calling it an intermission. Part II The Towers of Lionys - the first and only (so far) story I've defined as 'romance'; Arthur is ordered to find a bride. Part III Torr Badon - a 'golden age' fic dealing with prophecy and battle.

Refined by Fire - Mid-season 3 in-canon reveal and fall-out. Reactions from Arthur, Uther, Morgana, Gwen. Torture scenes, execution scene, fugitive!Merlin and Gwaine pov. Spans the time frame of eps.3.5-3.7 (The Crystal Cave, The Changeling, The Castle of Fyrien). Epilogue 4.3 time-frame, intermediary episodes now added as extra chapters. Part 2, Released by Truth, an expansion of ep.4.4 "Aithusa", with extras. Arthur struggles with popular prejudice against magic, in his quest to change the laws following his father's death, and hopes not to lose Merlin in the process. Include some aspects of the legend as I've read in Tennyson... Part 3, Renewed by Love. The other kingdoms react to the news of Camelot's change in policy on magic - including Bayard of Mercia, Alined, Lord Godwyn, King Odin, Rodor of Nemeth, and finally Caerleon. Arwen, Merthian, other non-canon pairings of the knights, told in a series of love stories, but including plenty of action and politics!

A Challenging Hostage, A Challenging Quest. My take on royal!Merlin - if Annis and Caerleon had witnessed Merlin's use of magic as a child in Ealdor, and if they'd decided to take him as the heir of their kingdom. Merlin gets caught by Arthur's patrol as he raids across the border at his king's command... Takes place at the beginning of season 3, features differences in canon season 1 and 2 to allow for Merlin's absence during those incidents. Also features Morgana's reclamation - and maybe hints of Mergana... Quest - Arthur seeks to complete his knight's quest as a condition for regency, while Merlin is searching for his long-lost father. Both of them find more - and less - than they expected...

Son of Poseidon - Royal!Merlin as well as inhuman!Merlin, a high-seas adventure with a dash of Greek mythology just for fun. Seafaring!Arthur (Is that a tag?) and the knights on board as well! Also, Heir of Aetlantys - a story of Merlin coming to Camelot as a human guest at Arthur's wedding. But there's never a dull day in Camelot, and this time Arthur might need Merlin's unique talents if he's to reclaim what's been stolen from him

Angel - A modern A/U with no magic, murder-mystery featuring cop!Arthur and witness!Merlin. Combines past action with sections of present monologue, uses a nickname for Merlin for most of it.

Payment in Gold - a period a/u. Camelot is different since Taliesin's time, a matriarchal society. Queen Nimueh presses her daughter Guinevere, the heir to the throne, to choose a consort; Guinevere resorts to the challenge of a quest to decide between Arthur and Lancelot. Meanwhile Merlin as the first male citizen in a century, based on public proof of his magic, struggles to make ends meet after acquiring two new slaves in the arena, and might be open to Arthur's proposition.

The Necromancer's Apprentice - A modern boarding-high-school version of ep.2.12 "The Fires of Idirsholas" - Arthur is a new teacher at Lone Oak, trying to understand the factors which contributed to his sister's death a decade ago. Merlin is the school's security officer, trying to befriend Arthur and atone for his sins of long ago.

The Penned Dragon. Modern A/U, based loosely on "Sins of the Father" episode. Abused!Arthur, private-investigator!Merlin, corporate espionage (or something), canon pairings and most of the knights, too.

A handful of shorter stories: Blood Brothers - kind of a rip-off of a tv-show episode (Moonlight), a short story with four additional one-shots... Royally Disired; followed by A Day in Crystal - My 'fix' of episodes 5.5 (The Disir) and 5.13 (The Diamond of the Day)... About Time - a oneshot of Merlin's time between the day of Arthur's death and the day of his return, Arthur pov - additional chapters about Merlin's reaction and adjustment... Destiny's Pet - satire/allegory, Merlin's loss of friend, lover, father, king, to heartless destiny... Possibility - a four-chapter in-canon reveal based on Merlin's confession scene from ep.1.3 "The Mark of Nimueh"... The Memory of Trees - post-canon take on the idea of Merlin trapped in the tree from Tennyson's "Merlin and Vivian" and how that might have ended... To Carry the Fire - Camlann with a Merlin-takes-the-injury-for-Arthur twist... and 3's Company, a trio of unrelated stories about ghosts and beasts and evil-black-mist-of-destiny...

Also, a couple of headings for short-story collections: Revelations, which includes in-canon reveal stories; and Something Completely Different, which is everything else...

Also, for those of you who are interested, original fiction on fictionpress.com, under fiction:fantasy. "The Mageman", and "The Tune-Tinker". Same nom de plume, same image... reviews always welcome. :D

I came across BBC's Merlin by accident - channel surfing while bored, stumbling across old episodes running in an all-day marathon in preparation for a new season. I think it was the somewhere in the middle of episode 1... I was enchanted (pun intended) by the idea of a young, clumsy, naive Merlin, and an arrogant princeling who can't stand each other. Then there was the servant named Gwen... and a princess named Morgana... I ended up watching the rest of that season, all day long.

Unfortunately, my life during those years was sporadic at best due to the military. Last summer I bought all five seasons and watched them straight through. I'd been under the impression that the series would concern itself with the "before they were famous" concept I had fallen in love with, and I was surprised at how far season 4 went, bringing Arthur to the kingship, and the knights of the round table together in Camelot. I confess to reading reviews before I started season 5, so my experience with the final season of Merlin was abnormal, in that I knew the ending before watching it, and watching it one episode each night for two weeks, rather than once a week for three months or so.

Therefore, my impression of that season, by itself and in relation to the rest of the series, may be slightly skewed. I was disappointed, my friends. Not with the acting - never that! - nor with the writing, which mostly was beautiful (or else Colin and Bradley just made it beautiful...) but with the choices made by the producers. These are my contentions:

1) The series spends 3 seasons under Uther's kingship. I have no argument with this, as it allows the focus on "before they were famous", which I love. However, this choice begs the series to bring Arthur and Merlin and the rest to the point where the legends begin. Arthur as the young new king, Merlin as his sorcerer, ready to begin a lifelong reign of peace and prosperity and magic.

2) Seasons 1 and 2 deal heavily in magical creatures. This added to the 'fairy tale' quality that I loved. However, the invasion of the Saxons is strictly historical, and anchoring the series with a modern-day Merlin expects the audience to believe the events portrayed as actual, rather than fictitious.

3) The love triangle of Arthur-Gwen-Lancelot. Making Gwen a servant girl with no chance at marrying a prince, no matter how they may feel explains her willingness to fall for a common-born knight, who is much more in her league. Taking Lancelot away from Camelot for a few years allows Gwen to fall in love with Arthur while explaining how her feelings for Lancelot would remain, as well. Making the "betrayal" a result of Lancelot's shade acting at Morgana's orders and Gwen herself being under enchantment, is a very gentle and kind way of treating that part of the legend. Merlin forced into sparing young Mordred's life, or being reluctant to kill Morgana through seasons 4 and 5 is in keeping with these ideals as well. Which leaves one unprepared for (and a little betrayed by, honestly) the harsh absolutism of Arthur's prophesied end. And don't even get me started on the use of prophecy in literature and film...

4)The series ends with the death of Arthur. This also, I have no argument with intrinsically, as of course it is semi-historical and Arthur did (eventually) die. However, if this was the intention all along, I contend that the 3 seasons of King Uther (as opposed to only 2 for Arthur) take volumes away from the claim that Arthur was the greatest king in British history, and the extreme youth of the characters negate the ideas of Merlin's power and success and a golden Arthurian age. If the end of the legend was the goal of the series, it would have been better to portray middle-aged characters who'd been vital to Camelot for decades. It would also have been better to leave off the explicit prophesies that Merlin is unable to circumvent (though not for lack of trying), and the intro line of every episode placing all responsibility and blame directly on the protagonist. All that considered, it cannot be argued very well that Merlin succeeded. And how do you do that to the star of the show?

All right, now, enough of the soap box. I had thought that as the months passed, I would 'get over' the series end. Alas... I never had any inclination to dabble in fanfiction for any other series - LOTR, Harry Potter, whatever... But, due to the unsatisfactory ending of a series I have loved like no other, here I am, seeking solace in fandom. I have read MANY good stories here, and am not planning to stop writing, myself!!

Well. I know I haven't said anything exactly "personal" here, but if you're still reading... congratulations. And thanks. I feel a little better.

The Towers of Lionys reviews

By Uther's command, Arthur must choose a wife and marry before the end of the year. Their first visit is to Lionys, but danger seems to have followed them, or anticipated their arrival. Will it be love in the air for Arthur (for Merlin?) - or just arrows? No slash, canon pairings. Sequel to Vortigern's Tower/The More Things Change.

The Memory of Trees reviews

Arthur would rise again, when he was needed. How long? It didn't matter. Merlin waited. "So many were slaughtered waiting for Emrys. I know you know how that feels. Waiting. While people die. I curse you, Emrys, do you hear me? To an eternity of useless tormented waiting!" Then in one moment, she put forth the charm... Post-series canon, ref. Tennyson's "Merlin and Vivien."

A Once and Future Destiny reviews

Arthur stood as if frozen in time, as if the ceiling had dropped down, or he'd been hit over the head with a … tree branch, or… "Don't you know who I am?" he blurted. "Don't you remember me?" Merlin concluded shortly, "Nope." If Destiny has returned the once and future court of Camelot to the world, what does it mean that Merlin doesn't - or won't - remember them?

The Day in Crystal reviews

I opened my eyes to see a tangle of blue-lit crystal. The future was beautiful, and it was terrible, and I could not allow it to come to pass, not like that. I knew what would happen, and I knew where to be. I knew what not to do. If this was my second chance, I was determined that Arthur would have one as well. A new direction for ep.5.13 "The Diamond of the Day".

Royally Disired reviews

I opened my mouth to say, There can be no place for magic in Camelot, and found I couldn't. Here, in the sacred grove, my magic humming in my veins in tune to the life all around, much more than itself, I could not utter the lie. Accept magic? Or let Mordred die? Maybe the choice was a trap, and the trick was finding the right path. A new direction for episode 5.5 "The Disir".
