One-Shots


Shattered: Summary: When something breaks, it can almost be impossible to fix.
The aftermath of ‘2.04’ Because the episode was incredibly heartbreaking, it inspired incredible angst... A ficlet that's most probably made up of incomprehensive words and phrases.

For Your Honour: Summary: Lancelot was the first man to ever notice her as more than a servant. Beautiful and golden; safe and secure; gallant and determined. He could offer so many things should she wish to take them. But she knows in her heart that she can’t. Gwen is trapped in a prison, hoping that Arthur will come and rescue her, and he’s determined to be the one who does so. But things don’t always go according to plan.

Broken Spells and Wounded Hearts: 
Gwen will never know the reason for Arthur’s anguish that day, nor why Merlin walked around as if his world had been shattered. But two years later, Arthur becomes king and he finds out Merlin’s secret. Betrayed and angry, he banishes Merlin away and forced to make the hardest decision of her life, Gwen follows. Based on the episode, "Sins of the Father"


Multi-Part

To Make You See My Worth: After his failed attempt to rescue Gwen, Arthur tries to show that now more than ever, he has everything to prove to her. A drop of angst, a big spoonful of light-heartedness (combined with a half-spoonful of heavy-heartedness), a slicing of cheese and a few heart-melting moments made this fic. Split into five parts.

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5

And its sequel To The Ends of The Earth (one-shot). Summary: Merlin is not sure whether to worry when Arthur is possessed with an inexplicable need...to pick flowers for Gwen, dragging Merlin with him

Multi-Part AUs

The Blacksmith's Son
: Summary: He has the hands of a blacksmith but a heart of a prince- if only she could see that. AU fic, in which Arthur is the blacksmith’s son, Gwen a princess and Lancelot the enviable (but smarmy) knight.

Broken Spells and Wounded Hearts




Rating
: PG
Pairing: Gwen/Merlin (friendship), Merlin/Arthur (friendship or de-friendship, should that be), Gwen/Arthur, allusions to Merlin/Morgana
Disclaimer: Merlin belongs to the BBC.
Spoilers: Based on the episode “Sins of The Father”
Summary: Gwen will never know the reason for Arthur’s anguish that day, nor why Merlin walked around as if his world had been shattered. But two years later, Arthur becomes king and he finds out Merlin’s secret. Betrayed and angry, he banishes Merlin away and forced to make the hardest decision of her life, Gwen follows.

A/N: Yesterday’s ep broke my heart! Even though the reset thing complicates things, it was definitely worth it if only to see Colin’s portrayal of being immensely broken-hearted by a dear friend. But I really do hope that Arthur’s reaction to Merlin’s secret will be the opposite to this. Oh, and for anyone wondering, the next chapter of The Blacksmith’s Son will be up as soon as my beta gets it back to me.

She only wished for their happiness. )

It's taken me half an hour to post this (lj being rubbish). Am not impressed. Anyway, enjoy!

Summary: He has the hands of a blacksmith but a heart of a prince- if only she could see that. AU fic, in which Arthur is the blacksmith’s son, Gwen a princess and Lancelot the enviable (but smarmy) knight.

Author's Note: Thanks to [info]lovedbyahero for her help. Writing Arthur as a peasant was hard to do whilst at the same time trying to retain his character, but hopefully it works. Also, even though I love Lancelot, this is not a Lancelot-friendly fic. Much. Also, the derivations of his name weren't thought of by me.

Look After You What-If

Summary:A what-if of Look After You. Tom turned into a lizard and kidnapped B'Elanna instead of Kathryn, and together in Sickbay they deal with the aftermath.
Rating: PG

A/N: This idea came about because a friend had rather hoped that Tom would have taken B’Elanna instead of the Captain in Look After You. So instead, I wrote a ‘What-If’ he had taken her, and this one-shot looks at the three days they spend in Sickbay together. It’s mostly a dialogue fic, and I tried to make it humorous instead of going for the serious side, and hope they’re not too out of character and that it’s at least vaguely funny. I hope you enjoy!

 

“So... I’m sorry for escaping from confinement and kidnapping you.” )

The Ends of the Earth

Rating: PG

Spoilers: None

Disclaimer: Merlin and all of its wonderful people do not belong to me.

Summary: Merlin is not sure whether to worry when Arthur is possessed with an inexplicable need...to pick flowers for Gwen, dragging Merlin with him. Counterpart fic to For Me to Prove My Worth, but you don’t have to read it to understand this, although it helps. Written for [info]misseri44 , who wanted an expansion on the flower-picking scene.

There were a lot of things Merlin never expected to see in his life, and Arthue Pendragon laying face down in the long grass examining flowers was one of them. )

Title:  For Your Honour (Your Knight in Shining Armour)
Author: 

[info]starry_laa
Rating: PG
Pairings: Arthur/Gwen, with a side helping of Gwen/Lancelot
Spoilers:
Based on the preview of the episode ‘Lancelot and Guinevere.’
Disclaimer: Everything belongs to the BBC.
Summary: Lancelot was the first man to ever notice her as more than a servant. Beautiful and golden; safe and secure; gallant and determined. He could offer so many things should she wish to take them. But she knows in her heart that she can’t.

 

Gwen is trapped in a prison, hoping that Arthur will come and rescue her, and he’s determined to be the one who does so. But things don’t always go according to plan.

Author’s notes: Based on the prompt by 

[info]sterni75 The first paragraph is paraphrased from the episode ‘Lancelot,’ I couldn’t find a clip to quote it directly. Also, I decided not to go too much in detail about Gwen’s rescue, as I don’t know much about the Star Wars-esque rescue scene, to write about it.

 

That would never stop him from setting on his white horse to find her. )
