Part 1 summary: There’s a threat on Arthur’s life, but with Merlin around, Arthur isn’t too worried about it. Merlin is still hurting after losing two years of his life. 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.

Title: With A Heavy Heart (1/1)
Author: dk323
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 7,310
Characters/Pairings: Arthur/Merlin, implied Arthur/Gwen, Lancelot/Gwaine (if you want to see it that way – I couldn’t resist ;)), Morgana, Morgause, Freya
Disclaimer: The show Merlin is property of the BBC.  
Summary: Merlin couldn’t be happier. Arthur knows about his magic and he has accepted it.
 
But unfortunately, Morgana and Morgause have a plan to divide Arthur and Merlin.
 
Author’s Notes: This is set some time after 3x04. Morgana and Morgause are already well aware of Merlin having magic. Also, Gwaine has already visited Camelot and left…and there’s a strong likelihood he crossed paths with Lancelot after departing from Camelot. *cough*
