Little do they know that Morgause is lying in wait to trap them, and that Lord Ulfin is a little too keen to meet Merlin, and for all the wrong reasons, and that he's recruited his manservant, Daegal into his plot, a plot that will see secrets come to light, and show just how powerful a shadow that both Merlin, and Arthur's fathers, have cast on the land

Summary
In the dead of night, Mithian and her elderly maid arrive in Camelot after an attack on their kingdom. However, not everything is as it seems. Will Merlin be able to figure it out and warn everyone of the danger before it's too late?
SNEAK PEAK: In the heat of the realization, Merlin stood up, abandoning the waterskin and his cane, momentarily forgetting that he needed it, adrenaline clouding his judgment. He stumbled a few steps as he yelled out, "ARTHUR!"
Before he had a chance to say or do anything else, he found himself flying through the air toward a nearby tree. He felt his head connect with one of the roots that was sticking out of the ground. The warlock quickly ignored the pain and turned around. Before he could even think of a spell to cast, Morgana's magic was choking him.
Morgana glared at the meddling fool. He wasn't going to stop her this time. This time she would come out on top. Nothing and no one was going to get in her way.
In the haze of his pain and inability to breathe, he tried to move the invisible hand that was choking him. After several more seconds, he lost consciousness. The last thing he heard was Arthur calling his name.

Summary
Merlin is well aware that a price has to be paid to ensure that magic is freed. He's also aware of the spear sticking out of his side and Uther charging towards him. Is now the time to pay that price? AU version of Death Song of Uther Pendragon. Part 1 in my Magic Reigns Free Series. This work is a rewrite of a story I wrote years ago on FFN.
SNEAK PEAK: "He has magic and must die," Uther insisted. "If he lives, he will destroy the kingdom I have worked so hard for."
"No," Merlin weakly squeaked.
Arthur glanced over at Merlin. He had heard what his father had said but paid it no mind. Merlin needed to be rescued right now. He could not waste time arguing with the ghost of his father. If he did, Merlin would surely die.
"You had your turn. It's my kingdom now," Arthur stated as he put the horn to his lips and blew.
As soon as his father was gone, Arthur rushed to his manservant's side and got him down as quickly as possible. He laid his body on the floor and yelled for anyone who could possibly hear him as he put pressure on Merlin's wound. Merlin howled in pain before losing consciousness altogether.

Summary
Escaping Morgana's most recent attempt to end Arthur has the unfortunate result of everyone forgetting that Merlin ever existed. Now alone, Merlin continues to work towards the goal of peaceful magical integration, but he also has to work to find his place again amongst the knights and Arthur. If he's not just Arthur's bumbling servant, is there a chance they could be something more than friends? Or has Fate already written them as a tragedy that can't be avoided? And why won't this stupid fumorroh in his neck die already?
It's not an easy life to be a child of Fate's control. Will Merlin be able to save them or will he bring them all to ruin?
OR
An extremely alternative take on A Servant of Two Masters s4e6.

Summary
Arthur’s voice dropped, more serious. “It’s not like you to hate anyone, Merlin. But you look at Mordred like he’s your enemy.”
Merlin went quiet.
"Merlin?"
“Maybe he is,” he whispered so quietly the words barely made it past his lips.
“What?” Arthur asked in disbelief.
....
Arthur trusts Mordred. Merlin knows better.

Summary
Still, Merlin wouldn't look at him. “Prophecy says you are to bring about Arthur's doom. You did not survive by Gaius' medical art. Your life–” Finally, he stopped and turned to face him. His eyes were wet. “Your life is my punishment. And I can't bring myself to regret it anymore.”

When they are ambushed on a hunting trip, Merlin finds himself taken prisoner and with Mordred of all people as his cell mate.

Summary
After the Great War and the legalization of magic, Camelot is finally at peace — which means the knights, the Queen, and a newly redeemed Morgana suddenly have far too much free time on their hands.
Their solution? Matchmaking.
Their targets? Merlin and Mordred, the two most powerful magic users in the kingdom who are clearly pining for each other.
(They’re not. They absolutely are. They just haven’t noticed.)Arthur insists he’s not part of the plan. He is very much part of the plan.
Gwaine leads an entire betting pool.
Gwen weaponizes her soft voice.
Morgana plays puppet master.
The knights attempt espionage and nearly set the training yard on fire. Again.Meanwhile, Merlin and Mordred try to figure out why the entire castle is acting strange, why they keep being shoved together, and why their magic keeps reacting in embarrassing ways.
It’s Camelot at its most chaotic, heartfelt, and relentlessly meddling — all for the sake of love.
