Merlin fic: Think of the Children (3a/3)

Title: Think of the Children (3a/3)
Author: dk323
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: mention of past non-con, dub-con, underage, character death
Characters/Pairings: Merlin/Arthur (pre-slash), Merlin/Morgana, Arthur/Gwen, OC
Spoilers: No; occurs during Arthur’s reign as King.
Disclaimer: The show “Merlin” is property of the BBC. No money being made.
Summary (for all of Chapter 3): Secrets are revealed and confrontations are made. Morgana is still ever present and she has one more trick up her sleeve. Merlin’s son, Stephen, is sent away from Camelot for his own safety. The path to the future begins to unravel as the time of King Arthur draws to a close.

Author's Notes: This is literally the only fic I'm working at the moment, so the second half should be posted in a week or so. The fic is getting longer than initially planned, but it should all work out. I have bits and pieces of the second half written and I know how it'll end. I've been debating back and forth about whether to end with Arthur's death, but I couldn't do it. :( There will be a character death, which will occur in the next (and final) chapter. You could probably guess who it will be after reading this part. Also, I didn't want to introduce two characters in one update...that was overload in my opinion. So the second character will be introduced in the next chapter.

*I changed the number of years Merlin spent with Morgana (from five years to six) because their children's ages didn't make sense before (unless they were born premature).

*The summary is for all of Chapter 3, so you could see part of it as a preview for the second half. :)

Merlin fic: Magic gone awry (1/1)

Title: Magic gone awry (1/1)
Author: dk323
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairings: Merlin/Arthur, Gwen, Morgana  
Spoilers: 2x12 did not happen… Morgana isn’t on her way to being ‘evil’. :(
Disclaimer: The show “Merlin” is property of the BBC. No money being made.
Summary: After Merlin and Morgana confide in Arthur and Gwen about their magic, neither the prince nor handmaiden expected to have this happen.

The things you do for friends…

Author’s Notes: This fits nicely within my “Tread Carefully” universe (where Arthur and Gwen are similarly privy to Merlin and Morgana’s magic secret) now that I think about. But this could standalone.

I could probably return to this fic, but I just wanted to write a snapshot of the situation. Let's just say, Merlin and Morgana will owe Arthur and Gwen big time after all this. ;)

For glenien’s prompt ~ A magical sickness is affecting Camelot: Only who has magic falls ill. Uncontrolled raw magic, Arthur and Gwen tries to cover for Merlin & Morgana.

Much love for glenien's Merlin/Sword in the Stone icons + walls here:
