Outfoxed

by huniths-muse (sopaltenbass)

Never, in the history of mankind, has the phrase, "Easy, watch," been followed by a good outcome. Merlin and Will are sent on a "quest" to get them out from underfoot. It doesn't exactly go to plan. Rating is for slightly graphic injury, but this is pretty tame, honestly.

Harvest Moon

by Snowy_Cas

Will and Merlin had always looked forward to the harvest ever since they were little. They got to run around, cheer and holler, sing as loud as they wanted and no one would bat an eye. It was the day when their raucous troublemaking was viewed by the village not as an annoyance, but as part of all the fun.Today was different, though.

No Choice

by katelyn_writes_stuff

Her heart shattered when she saw the look on Merlin’s face. He hadn’t wanted to hurt anyone; he didn’t even understand why using his magic was wrong. It was as natural to him as breathing or using his right hand. He didn’t understand, and Hunith didn’t know how to make him understand.

The Empty Dawn

by flowerofnettles

Merlin turned back to the guard. “Sound the warning bell,” he commanded, his chest tight and his hands beginning to tremble. “Someone used black magic to abduct the king.” After searching every hour of every day for four months, a desperate and exhausted Merlin begins to realize that the knights' gossip about his feelings for their king might not be as ridiculous as he'd thought.
