Summary
When Uther Pendragon seeks out and begs Nimue to bless him with an heir, he did not realise the consequences would leave him with a dead wife and a son that possesses magic.
Arthur Pendragon has spent his life trying to be the perfect son, the flawless prince, the man his father demanded he become. But deep beneath his armor lies a secret he doesn’t understand, a power that burns in his blood and answers to his heart. A power he’s been taught to fear.
But destiny has other plans. As Camelot trembles beneath Uther’s crusade against magic, a young sorcerer named Merlin arrives with secrets of his own; and an unshakable belief that Arthur’s fate is entwined with the very thing he’s been taught to despise. As their bond deepens, so too does the truth between them, blurring the lines between friendship and something far more powerful.

Summary
"Merlin's relationship with Arthur changed ever so slightly in the following weeks. It wasn’t any substantial change, and in the grander scheme of things, it was probably even a good thing, but Merlin - having gotten quite used to being Arthur’s most trusted advisor and confidant - found himself a little less useful to Arthur now that Agravaine had arrived."
After Morgana fled the kingdom, Arthur took charge as the prince regent, slowly starting to form the Camelot he always wanted. However, as Merlin watched Arthur blossom, Agravaine suddenly showed up at their front door, and things started to change.
Companion story to "I'm yours", but can be read independently.

Summary
In the weeks following being revived by the Cup of Life, strange circumstances have been following Leon. The fire in his chambers seems to light and douse itself, the wind dances across his face, and water seems to caress his hands. But nothing is stranger than the root that shoots straight up from the ground to save his life from an arrow aimed at his heart. And stranger still is the answering blossom of warmth in his chest when it does.
But what does it mean? Surely, it can't be magic. Magic corrupts. It's to be reviled. He can't have magic.
Can he?
And why is Merlin suddenly so interested in him?

Summary
It was then that Merlin heard a Laugh. Chills prickled down his spine, and his heart stopped. It actually stopped in his chest – or skipped a beat... or five – because he felt it stutter back to life and pound like charging horses at the sound, because he knew that laugh. He knew it like he knew the gentle squeeze of Gaius’s hand on his shoulder, the loving press of his mother’s lips to his brow, and the ever-present whisper of magic along his fingertips.
The sun had disappeared the day Arthur died, exactly four months ago, and never returned. They called it: The Grey.
A tale of loss, supernatural meddling, time travel, hidden identities, and love.
(Not Season 5 compliant.)
