To fortify Nemeth's ties with Camelot after his rescue, Rodor offers Mithian's hand to the one man Arthur respects above all others. For power comes not with rank, but from one's connections. AU from Another's Sorrow, taking Series 5 where I wish it had actually gone. AKA, Where the Heck was Magic and Albion When I Wanted Them!

Arthur never would have thought he'd find his former servant Merlin in a place like this. The new king had to convince the warlock to return with him to Camelot. It shouldn't be too difficult to do. After all, who would rather stay in a brothel than return to the white city? NOT SLASH JUST BROMANCE.

I never knew my father. My mother the queen says I have his eyes, and she and my Uncle Merlin never tire of telling me stories of him, but until the Saxons started threatening I never knew him. Everything changed then. Uncle Merlin always called Father the Once and Future King, but even he never thought the future was coming that soon.

Was he born Emrys, or is it a title to be earned? [Post S4, Canon Divergence, Eventual Reveal, Part 2/3]

"Help him! Help him Merlin! Make him all right! Save him!" Merlin moved quickly to the shocked midwife who stared down at the still, blue baby in her arms. "He's not breathing! Help him!" -This belongs in my Albion AU series, but it just didn't feel chapter-ish so I'm letting it stand alone.

My Albion AU series is a series of one shots that live in the happy time after Camlann-where Arthur did NOT die-and life is good. Not perfect, but good. I mean, come on!

In which Merlin is the silliest drunk and the exasperated king is tasked (by himself) to escort Merlin home.

In which Arthur denies missing his manservant, the knights are saps for a love story, Mordred has a crush on Freya, and Guinevere plays matchmaker. And where is Merlin? Freylin, Episode Retelling.

Gwaine loves Merlin. He tried not to, but there was no escaping it. The bigger problem, however, was that Gwaine had no idea if Merlin and Arthur were together or not.[end game Merwaine; possible?Merthur] (tags: Gwaine POV, Pining, Jealousy, post S3E13, Canon-Typical Violence, Love Confessions, Flirting, Sexual Tension, Drinking)

Arthur knows and welcomes and appreciates Merlin as his personal sorcerer - and under his reign, Camelot has slowly come to accept the inevitable return of magic.

Sequel to "Refined by Fire".

The answering machine was just there for appearances, and yet the blinking number on it was still there, and for some reason James couldn't ignore it. In his solitary life, James never expected to connect with anyone, not at work and especially not with a civilian who was a complete stranger. But Q might be the connection he really needs, in more ways than one.

As Morgana and Morgause plot to take over Camelot, Morgana questions if her sister's methods are the only way. When their schemes have far-reaching effects which threaten all of Albion, Merlin has to prove his faith in Arthur is justified. (AU in which Morgana is not suddenly and inexplicably evil.) Merlin/Morgana Gwen/Arthur

Mithian has a secret admirer, Arthur suspects his servant, but he doesn't expect Rodor's ties to Merlin's family history.

It began, as any shift in destiny did, with a choice - run and hide, or stay and fight. And because Merlin chose to stand still, his destiny and Arthur's - and others' - took a sharp right turn. Discovered by the knights, arrested by Arthur, Merlin faces Uther's questioner and judgment... Gold is, after all, refined in the flames... Mid-season 3 in-canon reveal.

Merlin fights for their shared destiny while living as a fugitive. But it will take both of them to stop Morgana's next assault on Camelot. (Arthur/Gwen, implied Merlin/Morgana)

It started as a few tweaks and became a rewrite of Season 5 … what if the last season had not been about Mordred and Arthur's doom? What if Merlin used that great power he has and Arthur showed the sense one would expect of a leader and they built Albion together? Which may not be easy ... (canon divergence, canon compliant, no slash, canonical death, Arthur/Gwen, Merlin/Mithian)

Merlin might have come to Camelot to master his magic, not to end the Purge, but he's not going to sit idly by while his kin suffer. Oh no. Whether it's releasing a chained dragon, smuggling sorcerers out of the city, or trying to change Arthur's mind, he's fighting back. Now. Series rewrite beginning after 1X02 featuring Proactive!Merlin. AU.

Getting his father's knife reforged was meant to leave him out of pocket, not with a bounty hunter's prize slumbering in his arms with a fistful of his coat. Close to five years without unnecessary human contact, and now this? Balinor swallowed, and huffed to himself. What sort of idiot was he? What was he supposed to do with a tiny, hungry, possibly traumatised child?

Q can't remember the mission, the objective, or any of the circumstances regarding the room he woke up in, but if the copious amounts of pain and the sounds of Bond throwing bodies like frisbees on the other end of his radio are any indication, then it can't be anything worse than the usual misfortune.

Morgana ponders her future after being deposed and thrown out of Camelot the second time (sequel to His Father's Son Season 4 AU) Merlin/Morgana.

Arthur is well on the way to becoming the type of leader Merlin had always hoped he'd be - one who cares for all of his people.

Arthur and Merlin's first date is going swimmingly until Arthur finds out it's Merlin's birthday. Merlin's ashamed to admit he has no friends or family to share it with, but Arthur wants to change all that...

In which trust games are played, the future is undecided, and no one quite knows what Mordred is up to. Or, alternatively, an author allowing her imagination to run riot thanks to that scene with the cloak. Merlin/Mordred, eventually.

Bad boy James Bond is just Q's type. Not that the young man would ever let on. He knows 007 is dangerous in and out of the field. Bond is intrigued and fascinated by Q's sharp tongue and sharper wit. Sparks could turn into flames but just as easily fizzle into nothing. 007 is determined to get his way. 00Q, Whishaw!Q, Craig!Bond. NOW COMPLETE!

It has been a year since the battle of Camlann, the battle that altered the course of destiny and, indirectly, brought Merlin and Mithian together.

A mini-companion to Holly Leaves & a gift for several dear friends on the Heart of Camelot.

Lies can destroy friendships, destroy lives. But sometimes, maintaining a lie is the only thing that can preserve everything. Sequel to Intentions.

Arthur's journey to Avalon is painful in more ways than one. Already struggling to cope with his deadly wound, he also has to deal with the increasingly shocking confessions of his manservant... (Cover art by Wil1969).

A companion oneshot to Only Friend. Having just survived the most nerve-wracking conversation of his life with a certain Arthur Pendragon, Merlin is giddy on life, but he forgets that there is one other who learned of his secret during the most recent battle. Gwen-Merlin bonding. Post-Reveal.

If it had been a different Arthur he may have been able to appreciate that Merlin's neckerchief was simply his equivalent of a towel. (Or, a collection of shorts exhibiting the many uses of a certain warlock's neck wear. No Slash)

Bond wants nothing more than for someone, just once, to be waiting for him at the airport when he returns home. [Post Skyfall, 00Q]

After the events at Skyfall, life was different for Agent 007. M was gone—no, there was a new M. There was a new Headquarters. He had a new flat in which he was still unpacking boxes of belongings. And then there was the matter of that new, young Q…a lanky, bespectacled boy with a mop of dark hair, who was in serious need of an attitude adjustment. Alternating POV slash, slow build

Q and 007 are a great team, Q constantly in 007's ear on missions. But this time, Q will be in the field with the double-oh. How will they cope when they have to pose as a married couple? Q's health takes a turn for the worse and they become trapped. How will Bond cope? Craig!Bond, Whishaw!Q. Post-Skyfall. Eventual 00Q. Bit of Sick!Fic later on. Reviews welcome! NOW COMPLETE!
