Summary
When Aithusa hatches, Merlin’s magic reacts instinctively: not with celebration, but with fear. The newborn dragon is transformed into a human baby, meant to shield her from a world Merlin doesn’t trust. She will only transform back to her true form when Merlin, himself, feels safe in the future Arthur is meant to build.
But Merlin has never felt safe. Not in Camelot. Not in his own skin. Now, with a child who looks like him and a destiny he never asked for, Merlin must confront what safety truly means—and whether he’ll ever find it.

Summary
After centuries of immortal solitude, Merlin lives in quiet exile, burdened by grief and the failure of a great prophecy. His reclusive existence is shattered when an unexpected delivery is left at his door: an infant girl, abandoned because she possesses a dangerous and innate magic.
Reluctantly, Merlin takes her in, and the child, Olivia, slowly pulls him back into the world. As he raises her and teaches her to control her growing powers, their quiet life is interrupted by strange signs from a sacred lake—signs that the ancient prophecy Merlin thought had failed may be stirring back to life, forcing him to confront the past he left behind while protecting the future he has found in Olivia.

«E così abbiamo più di un segreto, Emrys. Chi lo avrebbe mai detto.»

«Sei in mio potere Emrys, non c'è nulla che tu possa fare»[...]«Ho intenzione di farti soffrire come mai in vita tua»

«Mi chiamo William e... e… sono il figlio di Merlino.»

«Questo è la magia, per me. Non è diversa dell'aria che respiro o del sangue che mi scorre nelle vene. Io sono una parte della magia ed essa è parte di me. Non posso semplicemente “smettere di usarla”, capite?»
«No» rispose con indolenza Artù, scuotendo la testa con aria austera e impenetrabile. Il tono del re era freddo e affilato come la lama di un pugnale. «Mi dispiace, ma non riesco a comprenderlo.» -

Summary
The throne room was silent, which was unusual on a Tuesday afternoon since that was when the Round Table had their weekly meeting. Today, however, Arthur had dismissed his knights early, as there was no current crisis to manage or tricky problem for them to pick through, and it was a lovely day outside. He only had a few more reports to read before he put down his work for the day himself and spent the rest of his evening with his family. Merlin had no pressing matters to deal with today and was instead somewhere in the castle, playing with their daughter. Arthur intended to join them as soon as possible.
As if Arthur’s thoughts had summoned him, Merlin burst through the doors. Arthur smiled at him, dropping the reports and standing, happy to have the excuse to give up on his duties early. "Merlin, I was just thinking -"
“I lost Clara!”
Merlin loses their daughter during a game of hide and seek, and he and Arthur have to figure out why she's so hard to find.

Summary
What if Les Mis took place in Camelot? What if Jean was actually a warlock named Merlin? What if Marius was a young boy named Mordred?
Not perfectly loyal to Les Mis or Merlin, respectively. I will be writing the scenes, not just plugging song lyrics in and changing names in post. This will take time, there will be a chapter for every song in Les Mis, and perhaps a few between. I have outlined the entire story and written this prologue. Chapters won't come out on a specific schedule as I start college next week, but it is something I'm excited about. If this peaks your interest, stay tuned.

Summary
"Witan hwæt hæfð been forloren funden eft on þǣm sæum of tīma..."
Growing up in 21st-century London, it was easy for Duran to forget he was the son of a medieval king back from the dead and an immortal sorcerer from whom he had inherited immense magical power. He was happy living a quiet, normal life, where his biggest problem was coming up with new videos to post online.
Then one day he breaks into his father's study and ends up stranded in the distant past. A past where his Dad was an arrogant prince coming into his own and his Pa faced constant threat of execution for the "crime" of being magic. A crime Duran was also guilty of, so long as he stayed in Camelot.
At least he still had his mobile. Might as well get some new material before he went back home. Because he was definitely going home.
(...Right?)

Summary
Arthur Pendragon’s life was saved by a sacrifice from his alternate self—a twist of fate that left him with haunting dreams of a past life in which Merlin, his gentle and protective father, was also his lover. As Arthur grows up, those dreams become harder to ignore, and so do the feelings they awaken. Navigating high school to college, Arthur’s caught between the life he has and the one his heart remembers. Meanwhile, Merlin, the always-affectionate dad, has never turned his son down.
Pt 2 in the "A Promise Beyond Time" series. Even though the two are connected, you don't have to read pt 1 to understand (but feel free! This fic is such a fix-it). This fic takes place in a different multi-verse to the first one but it's still very much connected. Wholly different vibes.
