Disclaimer: The show “Merlin” is property of the BBC. The Dark Is Rising book series is property of Susan Cooper. No money being made.
Summary: Fearing losing control of his magic, Merlin gives his magic up. But then Arthur gets involved…
Chapter 8: Arthur meets two travelers from the future, and he feels a little better about being parted from Merlin. Merlin spends time in the year 2008 and he ends up going to a Christmas celebration.
But what both Arthur and Merlin wish for most is to be reunited. How long will Arthur have to wait for Merlin's return to Camelot?
Author's Notes: I started this story back in August 2009, and it was the first story I ever posted on themerlinxarthur comm. I made an end of the year resolution that I would finish "Nothing Has Changed" before 2012 hits. I didn't want to go another year with this story left incomplete.
Happy New Year, everyone! :D

Disclaimer: The show Merlin is property of the BBC.
Summary: Arthur thought that the oddest thing about Merlin was his magic, but one Christmas, he discovers how wrong he is. When there’s a news story about everyone dying at a psychiatric institution, Arthur’s Christmas is about to take a very wicked turn.
Author’s Notes: This is more of a dark holiday story, but I was inspired by a drawing she recently did and this fic is the result. A link to the drawing is at the end as it’s a bit of a story spoiler. ;) I’m also re-using an idea that I introduced in another fic of mine.
Happy Holidays,reni_m! : )

Characters/Pairings: Merlin/Arthur
Spoilers: Story is now considered an AU after 2x04, Lancelot and Guinevere. There will be references to later episodes, but some characters aren’t aware of certain things as they should be if I were following current show canon.
Most notably, Merlin doesn’t know about Dragonlords or that his father is one. So if that throws you off, then the AU nature of the fic is the reason why.

Spoilers: Up to 2x04 (AU after that (2x04 is the "Lancelot and Guinevere" episode))
Disclaimer: The show Merlin is property of the BBC. The “His Dark Materials” books are property of Philip Pullman. No money is being made.
Summary:
In another world where daemons are the norm, Arthur is an exiled prince for not letting Merlin be executed to further the king’s blind crusade against magic. With Excalibur and magic on their side, Arthur and Merlin escape to a different world when the king’s men catch up to them.
It’s lucky that Excalibur can do more than strike men down in battle. But Arthur and Merlin discover that they can never truly escape their enemies.
( Author's Notes )
Chapter 4: The taking of the betrayer
Arthur and Merlin tell the daemon-less Merlin about what led the pair into exile.
Unbeknownst to them, a prophecy may be what breaks Arthur and Merlin's bond forever. It is the beginning of the end…

Morgana decides to turn the tables on Fate, and she ends up pregnant as a result. With Freya’s help, Morgana is able to rectify the problem.
Part 2 summary: Merlin confides in Arthur and their relationship is all the better for it.
Meanwhile, Morgana officially meets several people of the Alpha World. In the Alpha World: Merlyn is Arthur's grandfather (Ygraine is Merlyn's youngest daughter), the Lady of the Lake (Viviane) is Arthur's aunt as well as Merlyn's eldest daughter. Lancelot is Viviane's son, so he's Arthur's cousin as well. Morgan is Merlyn's ward and Arthur's wife.
Eight months later, Merlin takes Arthur with him to go see the Crystal Cave. When Morgana returns to her world, Merlin is at the lake to welcome her back.

Rating: PG
Characters/Pairings: Arthur/Merlin, OC
Word count: 6,514

Disclaimer: The show Merlin is property of the BBC. Legend of the Seeker is property of ABC Studios.
Summary: There was a before and an after. Before the magical plague, Arthur had been the Crown Prince of Camelot. After the plague, Merlin ascended the throne as King of Camelot. It’s a year into Merlin’s reign, and Arthur still hasn’t taken that final step.
Author’s Notes: The idea of a true Listener is thanks to Legend of the Seeker. This story is a variation of a world mentioned (and will be further explored) in my fic, “The Wolf and the Phoenix.” I would like to think this fic is the more positive, ‘happier’ version of the world.
