Summary
The Dorocha was only the beginning.
***
Merlin was supposed to be riding back to Camelot with Lancelot. Merlin was supposed to be safe. Which is why Arthur can't quite comprehend it when Merlin appears at the Isle of the Blessed just as Arthur is readying himself for sacrifice, blasts Arthur out of the way, and walks through the veil between the worlds.
[ON INDEFINITE HIATUS]

Summary
The Dorocha. They are the voices of the dead, my child. And, like the dead, they are numberless.
Or
A different take of the dorocha. Instead of them being faceless screams that attack you, they are actually figures of the dead. Merlin doesn't quite realize how much death affected him until him and the knights go to close the veil.

Summary

Or: during the Darkest Hour, Merlin sacrifices himself to close the Veil.

Summary
No mortal has ever survived their touch. Arthur knows that if he asks how Merlin survived the Dorocha, Merlin will smile that cheeky grin that doesn't quite reach his eyes. Missing scene/Arthur study for 'The Darkest Hour'.

Summary
The Darkest Hour rewrite: Merlin saves the day by revealing his Dragonlord ancestry
“A single drop of my blood is worth more than the life of a High Priestess.”
A moment of silence passed before the Cailleach nodded her head in acceptance.
«How brave, young dragon. So you do challenge me after all. Very well. But are you sure you’re willing to part with such a precious thing? You might save your Prince’s life tonight, but tomorrow when you return to Camelot he will demand that you burn at the stake for your powers.”

Summary
No one survives the Dorocha’s touch.
Not even Merlin.
At least that’s what Arthur and the Knights think after Merlin saves Arthur’s life by throwing himself at the Dorocha.
Or
Arthur and the knights believe Merlin has died after being struck by the Dorocha and bury him accordingly before continuing their quest to close the veil and save Camelot. But we all know that even the Dorocha cannot stop Merlin.

Summary
Gwaine mumbled something into his shoulder that Merlin didn’t quite catch.
“What was that?” He asked very quietly.
Gwaine pulled back just far enough to say it again, “You were dead. You died.” He was a bit taken aback at that.
“I’m almost positive I didn’t.” He said trying to lighten the mood by gesturing to himself in a “see” kind of way,
“You did. You stopped breathing, You were freezing. The other knights left for their chambers. They couldn’t bear it here. Not while you were…” Gwaine's voice broke before he finished the sentence.
Or in which a chicken save Lance and all of Camelot and nobody dies. Kind of.

Summary
After Camleot is overrun by Morgause's army and Morgana is revealed to be a spy, Merlin is forced to free The Great Dragon. He gives him the answer he seeks yet takes something much larger, when the citadel is weak he kills Uther Pendragon.
Arthur, overcome with loss, begins searching for the only man who can help him defeat The Great Dragon, the last Dragonlord. What they find, however, is much more than either Merlin or Arthur expected. In the shadow of that cruel night, Merlin must face the truth of his heritage and hide it from his best friend, the new king of Camelot.

Summary
There are magic reveals, A narrator whose only job seems to be sarcasm, and a plot that keeps Lance alive. That's what ya'll really want, right?
Started out as a one shot but I couldn’t help myself… it turned into a fix-it.
-—-Gwaine found himself in very unique situations whenever near to Merlin.
(Yes. Seeing Merlin drag dead people into their graves is a unique situation.)
-—-
"Uh?" Lancelot said. He directed to continue.
"This isn't.." Merlin gestured with a hand to the body on the floor.
He'd been dragging it. It was exactly what it looked like.
-—-
I am trying my best to stay on track with what actually happens in Merlin. However, there are *huge* empty spaces in-between seasons and episodes that I cannot, as a singular human, fill properly. Expect divergence from the canonical plot, including and not limited to Lancelot being alive (because I started writing without watching Merlin for a while and—hoo boy, the death of Lancelot is earlier than I thought).
Thank you for listening in on my TED talk

Summary
“Be at ease, Emrys. We are the Vilia, spirits of the river. We have healed you.” The warlock opens his mouth to ask a dozen more questions, but the spirits speak before he can. “We implore you to listen for there isn’t much time. We know what the Once and Future King is preparing to do. A blood sacrifice to appease the veil and its guardian.” They have Merlin’s full attention now. “We are here to tell you that there is another way. The choice will be yours.”
Merlin’s breath catches in his throat. Maybe, for once, no one else will need to die. “Tell me.”

Summary
Two years after losing Merlin to the veil between the worlds, Arthur finally repeals the ban on magic. It should be relatively plain sailing from there, except that it's not: his people still regard magic with distrust, no sorcerer would come forward, and Arthur finds himself unable to appoint a Court Sorcerer. With the councillors breathing down Arthur's neck and the eyes of the magical community watching him, he seeks out the Druids beyond the Ridge of Ascetir, led by a powerful sorcerer named Emrys.
