Summary
He could burn him.
That’s what one did with sorcerers wasn’t it? The moment that marred his first day in Camelot and the moment that signified its bitter end, the one and the same.
But no.
That wasn’t fair to himself or Mordred.

Summary
Canon-divergent Merthur after Camlann. Camelot is on the brink of its Golden Age—if Arthur and Merlin can survive one treaty, one duel, and one perilous feast. A king choosing warmth over cold glory, a sorcerer choosing home over secrecy. Competent king, competent sorcerer, court politics, and warm domesticity — with Excalibur still quietly dangerous.

After the fall of Camelot's greatest king, Merlin is left carrying a grief that time itself cannot soothe. While the kingdom rebuilds and life slowly returns to its walls, Merlin lingers at the edge of Avalon, unable to let go of the promise that shaped his entire life.
Years slip into centuries, and Merlin remains unchanged while the world transforms around him.
Inevitably, Merlin waits. But how much longer before he, too, begins to wither?

Summary
Amhar had seen portraits of Uncle Uther and Uncle Ambrosius, and this man looked nothing like them, but he knew this man was Arthur Pendragon.
Amhar hated him. Amhar hated him. This man was here now but he hadn’t sent aid for ages and ages and ages until it was far too late and now his Mamma and Papa were-
”Hello Amhar” said Arthur Pendragon solemnly, “I’m your- cousin, I think would be best. I’m your cousin, Arthur.”
”Hello” said Amhar, brimming with malice.-
Or, Arthur and Merlin acquire their children through less than ideal circumstances.
(“we haven’t messed up Aithusa too badly, how much worse could human children be?” said Merlin)Series

Summary
He was about to say some utter bullshit. Arthur could just sense it.
”Arthur” said Merlin, shakily, “I’m pregnant. And it’s yours”
There it was.

Merlin is keeping a secret. No, not the magic. Not the "being in love with Arthur" thing, either. A third, unrelated secret. He could tell Arthur. Or he could fake a pregnancy and rope everyone into gaslighting Arthur. Obvious choice, when you put it like that. Gaslighting it is!

Summary
“I’ll fix it.” Merlin croaks. “I’ll fix everything. We’ll switch places. You’ll be back in Camelot in no time. You’ll see Gwen again. I promise.”
Arthur makes a noise of protest but Merlin shushes him. “I know you don’t trust me anymore but I will make everything right.” Merlin vows.
The sorcerer truly means this, Arthur knows. Sincerity is practically dripping from every word. It’s such a Merlin thing to promise, with that earnest and determined tone. It only scares Arthur more.

Summary
Across centuries of plagues, wars, and new names for old cruelties, Merlin endures. After Camlann he walks the long road alone, a sorcerer who will not die and a lover who cannot forget. When grief finally tears a seam in time, he falls back into Camelot on the first day of his destiny. This time Merlin is smarter, quiet where he must be, ruthless where it counts, and determined to change fate for his golden-haired king.
“That’s not very knightly of you, darling,” he called, voice lazy as a cat sunning on a sill.
Arthur turned. Blue eyes, quick and keen and infuriatingly curious, flicked over him. “Excuse me?”
“Using a servant as a moving target.” Merlin tipped his head toward the boy trotting in a circle, the shield clattering against his spine. “It’s crude. If you wanted to show off, you could have asked me to watch. I make an excellent audience.
A squire choked. The boy stumbled to a grateful halt.
Arthur’s mouth flattened into the princely version of a smile’s shadow. “Do you know who you’re talking to?”
“Handsome, overconfident, dangerously good with his hands,” Merlin said. “Likes knives more than apologies. I’ve met your type.”A.k.a Merlin fixes destiny with flirting,

Summary
“You miserable, lying hag!” Arthur shouts. “I kissed her! I did what you asked!”
“I’m no liar,” the witch says. “I said to kiss the one your heart most desires. It appears that person is not the queen.”
Instantly, the color drains from Arthur’s face. He stumbles backwards, gripping the hilt of his sword until his knuckles turn white.
“Kiss the one your heart most desires,” the witch sings, “and your friends will be set free.”
——
To save his friends’ lives, Arthur must confess feelings that were never meant to see the light. But it is Merlin who pays the price.

Summary
Merlin hadn’t done anything dumb or self-sacrificial like Arthur had feared—that was the silver lining. But that left him with one conclusion. Arthur had died by Mordred’s blade. He was no mortal, not any longer. He was a ghost.
or—it's been a few months since Camlann, and Arthur reappears as a ghost, cursed to be unseen and unheard by his loved ones left behind. It's too bad no one in Camelot is powerful enough to see and interact with ghosts . . . right?
