Summary
I can't say a word. I don't know how to tell him that I'm the reason our daughter has 107 fresh scars on her back. And that her fucking soulmate is the son of the disgraced Fen Riorson.

Have you been wanting a full-length soulmate AU for the Empyrean? Look no further! We start pre-canon and jump around with time skips a bit before diving into Fourth Wing. We've got two types of soulmarks, too - scars and relics.

Summary
Summary: While Tyrenndor’s First Queen is my guilty pleasure fanfic (which will be continued), it has gotten me thinking about what would happen in the book had Tyrenndor actually gained independence. I’ve concluded that, while most things would remain the same, these things would be different: 1) Tyrenndor would have opened its own rider’s college where all their kids (without their rebel marks) would have gone and 2) Lillith would not have sent Violet into the Rider’s Quadrant if she didn’t have Xaden to protect her kid. Which means Violet would have gone into the Scribe’s Quadrant and her mother probably would have let slip that Violet’s father was studying feathertails before his passing, making Violet investigate them herself and keeping her safely inside the wards. But we all know that a certain feathertail would have been quite ready to allow Violet the ability to study her. Which starts a slippery road that leaves Violet still bonded to both dragons and with Xaden’s ring on her finger. Think of this fic as Tyrenndor’s First Queen if I took it seriously.

Summary
Merlin is hit with a spell after revealing his magic to Arthur while trying to save him. Let's just say the spell has some adverse effects...such as forcing him to reveal his deepest and darkest thoughts.
~
“What?” Arthur made a strangled noise in the back of his throat before attempting to speak again. “I must have heard you wrong. There's no way you’re stupid enough to ask me to-”
“Murder me,” Merlin said as his voice rose yet again. “Murder me like you murdered the rest of them.”
“Now Merlin-” Arthur sounded taken aback.
“Murder me like you murdered the rest of them!” Merlin yelled at Arthur as tears started to form in his eyes. “Murder me like you murdered the other sorcerers!”

Summary
Based on the two tropes: Character A comforts character B as B is dying vs. character A comforts character B while A is dying, but make it Merthur.
or
I made Arthur's canonical death just a little bit more painful and Arthur's return brings about Albion's greatest time of need and all the consequences that come with it.

Summary
It took only a few minutes for Violet to figure out what purpose she served.
No one said it out loud—not yet, but they’d get there—but they kept throwing out words like formalizing alliances and uniting two groups, and she understood.
Violet was a sacrificial lamb, and Xaden Riorson was the wolf, and her slaughter would be their marriage.

Summary
Merlin is the last to know anything. So he isn't surprised when he is the last to know that Arthur Pendragon is going to be using Ealdor as the location for his next film. Nor is he surprised the entire town is mocking him. He did use to date the blonde in uni after all. Too bad they don't actually believe him. Things are about to get very interesting around here.

Summary
Written for the 2012 BoxOfMagic Merlin Big Bang
In the aftermath of Merlin's battle against Nimueh, the rain seems a minor complication, perhaps even a cleansing influence. When the rain doesn't stop, Camelot is pushed to the brink once more. This time, Arthur may be in over his head. Contains: a lot of wet boys in emotional scenes, Arthur knowing more than he lets on, Merlin being an idiot, both of them being a bit stupidly heroic, telepathic chess, rain (lots of), war, making out against a tree, coincidental druids, co-opted history, co-opted myths, magic, coming of age (metaphorically), and more magically annoying yet surprisingly un-floody water than you can shake a stick at.
