Summary
Arthur caught his sorcerer’s eye again. “If Emrys did have a simple, human identity, you wouldn’t have any suspicion who it could be, at all?”
“I wouldn't, I’m afraid.” Merlin shrugged one shoulder, seeming somewhat defeated. “I’ll look into it.”
Once, years ago, Arthur had been sure he could tell when Merlin was lying through his teeth. How frustrating it was to know that couldn’t be further from the truth.Or: In a fixed-it post-canon, word begins to get out about the godlike sorcerer Emrys who will aid the Once and Future King to unite all of Albion. This, of course, results in all the leaders of Albion beginning their attempts to win the elusive Emrys’ favor, in order to be chosen as his prophesied King.
Even as his Court Sorcerer, Merlin lives to antagonize Arthur and decides to inform the world -as Emrys- that he has already chosen his King, in a... less-than-conventional way. -

Summary
Merlin follows Arthur on his quest to the Perilous lands, returning not just with his friend alive and well but also a new kingdom. Magic has lost so much from the purge and the years after and the first rule of magic is that there must be balance, so it gives back. Creating the Kingdom of Oplaria, ruled by King Emrys.
But Merlin is not so keen to abandon his destiny and Arthur, he spends his time between the two Kingdoms constantly torn between his friendship with Arthur and his duty to his people and magic. He is good at secret identities after all.
But with Arthur constantly sidelining Merlin how long can he make excuses to stay?
And how much will this change not only the Prophecy but also the future of Albion?This is follows the show from Season 3 episode 8 -> Season 4 episode 13 but will include storylines from other episodes.
If like me you loved all the side characters well then get ready to get a lot more time with them (especially if you love Mithian, Elena and Vivian).

Summary
After Arthur disobeyed his father and retrieved the Mortaeus flower for Merlin's cure, Arthur's frantic pleading to save Merlin led to a misunderstanding that actually convinced Uther to take the flower to Gaius.

And then the knights begin showing up...

Summary
The Perilous Lands belong to the Dragonborn family, a most ancient noble family who’ve ruled since the Fisher King was injured. They have been treating the Fisher King’s injury ever since to prevent the infection from spreading onto the land, as the land of Elmet was tied to the ancient and powerful sorcerer.
The Dragonborns are warriors, as even the women of the Royal family are trained in combat.
Princess Muriel is the Dragonborn heir to the throne, and is primarily in charge of protecting Elmet’s borders with Camelot due to the many issues at that border in the past.
One day, however, she leads her Knights across the border to help a group of outnumbered Camelotian Knights against a group of bandits who turn out to be human traffickers.
It is like this that she meets Crown Prince Arthur of Camelot. -

Summary
With Vivian cured and Camelot's alliance with King Olaf reaffirmed and stronger than ever, Merlin prepares to visit another ally: Princess Elena.
Yet, there are complications. Gwaine, more protective than ever, seems to realize that Merlin is still keeping secrets, and there are still those who oppose the idea of decriminalizing sorcerery. And, of course, there's the lingering question of Morgana's influence. Where is she? When will she make her next move? And what new threats might Merlin and his knights face as they travel the Kingdoms?
~a direct sequel to Bad Dreams; this will not make sense if you haven't read the other entries in the series~

Summary
At sixteen, Prince Merlin saw his kingdom destroyed and was forced into an engagement with King Cenred just because of his magic. Now, two years later and on the eve of his wedding, Merlin's crew takes him out on a final voyage before he's forced to give up his beloved ship and way of life forever in exchange for a life of darkness with Cenred. But it isn't long before the trip takes a turn for the worst and Merlin finds himself kidnapped yet again, this time by the unfairly hot and unbearably arrogant Prince Arthur Pendragon of Camelot, the very same kingdom with a reputation for making sorcerers’ heads roll. This should be fun...

Summary
To some, Lady Vivian is just a memory, a brief presence during a long-ago diplomatic visit that brought an impressive chain of misunderstanding and heartbreak; one could even say it was funny to see her so besotted with the prince, spouting saccharine declarations even as she left for good. After all, she was rude, spoiled, impossible to please, and a foreigner to boot. Not their kingdom, not their problem.
But back home, the fact that only one half of the enchantment was undone isn't funny at all, and now that Merlin's magic is out in the open, a renewed alliance might hinge on his ability to break it.
