Summary
Merlin arrived in Camelot months ago, as a scrawny fourteen-year-old with nothing to his name but magic that would get him killed. Now he's fifteen, apparently made a good impression with the King and as a reward (?) he gets to be manservant to His Royal Pratness, Jr. himself, and is *also* apparently supposed to keep said monarchal clotpole alive long enough to change the world for the better. And be Gaius's apprentice in the healing rooms. And keep his magic tamped down enough to not have his head detached by way of axe, or skin removed, or burned to a blackened husk, or whatever else the glorious King decides is appropriate punishment for a sorcerer that day.
Now, he's only fifteen. But he can totally handle this, right? Easy peasy.Series

Summary
Kamaelot is at war. Mages are all but extinct and their fight for survival threatens to tear the kingdom apart.
Arthur's birthright is their eradication. He is destined to slay the dreaded Emrys, leader of the Mage Rebellion, and restore peace to his father's districts. But when a mysterious mage spares his life and reveals a plot to kill him, Arthur must hire a royal mercenary, Merlin, to uncover the truth. Though he is shown far more than he ever imagined -- a people oppressed, an ancient empire, a tyrant in power, a lover in his sworn enemy, and a lifetime of lies. Can his destiny be challenged? Can his kingdom be saved?
Latest Chapter Summary:
How could he resist the helpless ignorance —endearing, intoxicating—wrapped up and bound in a delicious sacrifice Merlin had no right to want? Arthur was something that whispered of ruin, the kind of ruin a man might crave. He could kill him. He should kill him. And yet, in the dim light, with his lips hanging open in the slightest whisper of a question, Merlin wondered what it might feel like to let him live—and damn myself instead.

Summary
“It’s not magic,” Merlin murmured, feeling the now bladeless hilt of the weapon. “It’s… it’s something else.”
“I figured you would be able to feel it,” Anakin said. “The Force glows bright around you.”
Merlin turned around, intrigued. “The Force?”
Or, Emrys and the Chosen One decide to throw the prophecies out the window, no one turns to the dark side/dark magic, and Arthur doesn’t realize that he’s dealing with a completely different kind of “knight.”
(Series 3-5 rewrite; grows increasingly AU)

Juggling the stress of being a knight in Camelot, keeping several dangerous secrets including his own immortality, and marveling over the lack of self-preservation of some people, it's no wonder that Leon has a big headache.

There's more than one person talking to the dragon.
Of course, being who he is, Kilgharrah sees no need whatsoever to share this information.
