    Summary

    Omegas are meant to be cherished, treated with softness and care. Cenred clearly never believed that. When Arthur kills him in battle, he’s left with the man’s traumatized, dying omega. To save his life, Arthur must form a bond he never wanted, taking comfort only in the knowledge that he’ll be a far better alpha than Cenred ever was.

    Day 26: ABO - breeding - war prize (Gentle Non-Con)

    ** Warning ** This fic contains non-consensual sex and descriptions of the aftermath of abuse, though it’s a lot softer than that makes it sound.

    Summary

    Arthur had seen horrors before. Witnessed them, bore them, even committed them. But what had been done to Merlin...

    They didn't even know the full extent, because Merlin physically couldn't speak of it. Perhaps he couldn't even remember, if his mind had retreated far enough. But what they did know was awful enough.

    Arthur would never forget the sight of his dearest friend hanging limp, dragged from the depths of a pit by the cold iron chain around his waist, too near death from starvation, pain, and magic depletion to even notice the flogging pole he'd been headed toward.

    Summary

    If 2 World Wars weren't enough to bring Arthur back what could have possibly made him come back now???

    If you ask Morgana she'd try her best to rationalize something...or not

    If you ask Merlin, he'd rather scream

    Also why is Mordred here???

    Summary

    I was inspired by a Tiktok edit of Arthur seeing Merlin injured during the episode 'The Kindness of Strangers' and so I decided to write him into the episode.

    Edit- and now apparently I'm rewriting the end of the final season!

    Summary

    During what should have been a secret trip through the Valley of the Fallen Kings, the Knights of the Round table are ambushed, leading to separation of the King and his manservant.

    In the days following, Merlin finds himself at the mercy of a known warlord, and ally of Morgana, Helios as a the newest member of his harem. He learns quickly that the warlord is as cruel as his ally, and just as ambitious. Isolated from everything, and everyone, he holds dear, the young warlock must try to find a way to escape his captors, without losing himself in the process.

    *Takes place during "Servant of Two Masters", but it is still not completely cannon-compliant. Some events will have been moved around because damnit I said so. I love the friendship between Lancelot and Merlin to let him be dead.*

    Summary

    It all started with one question, a seemingly inconsequential question. Merlin finds himself wondering what Arthur meant, and why Arthur would ever ask such a thing. It's not until weeks later when Merlin lets down his guards, does he learn Arthur's motives. And not until weeks after that does Merlin's answer change for good.
