When Merlin learns of a new prophecy that threatens the hard-won peace, he will do everything in his power to keep it from coming to pass.

Summary
Set after 5x02 and then deviates from there.
Intent on protecting King Arthur from his prophesied death at the hands of Mordred, Merlin is entirely distrusting of the new Knight of Camelot. After discovering a secret meeting between Mordred, Morgana, and a mysterious woman Merlin has never seen before, his deepest fear is realized when he is forced to reveal his magic in an attempt to protect Arthur and Guinevere from a deadly assassination plot at the hands of Morgana. With Merlin’s most guarded secret revealed, will Mordred succeed in fulfilling his destiny? Or will Merlin be able to stop him?
~"I do not think Mordred is the one lying to me, Merlin," Arthur said through clenched teeth. "You used magic. You used magic against a knight of Camelot. Not Morgana. What am I to make of that?"
And Merlin saw how Arthur saw it. He saw how it looked. He shook his head helplessly because he also saw one other thing: Arthur wasn't going to believe him. He had attacked a knight of Camelot. With magic. Arthur and Gwen had seen. And Mordred, though he was the true traitor, had not done anything to suggest that he was. Mordred looked completely innocent. And Merlin looked very much guilty.

Summary
What if Merlin gave Arthur different advice and in turn Arthur made a different choice in S5E5: The Disir. Magic would have become accepted in Camelot early in season 5 and changed the entire course of the show.
Magic reveal/Canon end fix/Magic returned to Camelot/In Character/Butterfly effect story/Realistic Alternative Ending.
A season 5 re-written style story as close to what really could have happened in the show as I could get it.
Canon relationships only.

Summary
“He cursed me. I’m coughing up flowers, Gaius—what other possible explanation is there?”
“Well, there is—”
“He was mad at me, it’s exactly something he would do. Infuriating, obnoxious, goddamned sorcerer that he is probably finds it funny to—”
It is said that the sins of the father should not be cast upon the son. Unfortunately, a father's miscalculated bargain can still come back to haunt you—Arthur is twenty-one, has a kingdom to rule, and apparently, a magically binding marriage contract with the Prince of Escetir. Prince Merlin, who has magic, a dragon, great dislike for Arthur, and still no intention to back out of the contract.
The worst part is, to a degree, Arthur understands—as a sorcerer, he wouldn't trust Uther Pendragon's son either. So he simply has to convince Merlin that he can be trusted, and the contract can be broken while they secure peace between Camelot and Escetir. It's a good plan.
Right up until forces conspire against both their kingdoms, more secrets come to light, and Arthur starts coughing up flowers.

Summary
When Arthur informs Merlin that he intends to make peace with the Druids, this seems like a marvelous idea at first. It's only when he asks Merlin to invite the Druids' leader, Lord Emrys, to Camelot for the Yule festivities that Merlin realizes just what he's gotten himself into...
How exactly will Merlin juggle his duties as the guest of honour and his everyday life as the King's manservant, especially when previously unacknowledged feelings surface between him and the King?

Summary
“I have come to bring you a message, Uther Pendragon. That child is an abomination, a product of the corrupted use of magic. The Disir have spoken. They have prophesied that a child will come who will be the opposite, who will be pure magic made flesh and who will free the world from the tyranny of the Pendragon and the stain they have left on this land. Their name will be Emrys, and they will be destined to bring an end to your dynasty. Emrys is your son's destiny, and also his doom."

But it seemed he still had a while longer to wait.
***I didn't rate this but there are 1-2 curse words here, brief violence - nothing graphic, all very mild, I didn't feel it was enough to warrant an Archive Warning***

Summary
The thing was, he hadn't meant to. Kiss her, that is. But he had and now she was staring at him like she'd found horse dung on her shoes. "You cannot be my true love," she sneered. Merlin was, honestly, more concerned with the possible removal of his head should her father find out.
