What could be the plot of a 'Merlin, Gwen and Arthur baby' fanfiction?

In this type of fanfiction, it could start with Merlin having a prophetic dream where he sees himself kissing Arthur instead of Gwen. This dream haunts him and makes him realize his deeper, unacknowledged feelings for Arthur. As he tries to avoid this fate, circumstances keep pushing them together. Eventually, during a magical incident where emotions are heightened, Merlin accidentally kisses Arthur. This sets off a chain of events where they have to face the reactions of their friends and the court, and also explore their own feelings which they had previously buried deep inside.

One possible plot could be that Arthur and Gwen face challenges in raising their baby in a world filled with political intrigue. Maybe there are those who see the baby as a threat or a tool for power. For example, some nobles might try to use the baby's influence to gain more land or favors. Arthur and Gwen would then have to protect their child while also ruling Camelot fairly.

His magic would be crucial in safeguarding the baby. If there were any threats from dark magic, Merlin could sense them early on. He could then use his powers to counteract the dark magic, perhaps by creating a magical shield around the baby. Also, if the baby were to be born with some sort of magical ability (since Arthur and Gwen are in a magical world), Merlin could help the baby control and understand its powers as it grows up.

One great fanfiction is 'The Once and Future King's Love'. It beautifully weaves the relationships between Merlin, Gwen, and Arthur. It shows their deep friendship and the budding romances in a really engaging way. The author does a wonderful job of staying true to the characters' personalities from the show.

I'm not entirely sure if there is a specific one. While fanfiction can cover a vast range of scenarios, including some that deviate from the expected character relationships. The idea of Arthur cheating on Merlin with Gwen seems rather untrue to the spirit of their relationships in the common Arthurian tales. But in the world of fanfiction, anything is possible.

Merlin might become even more protective of Arthur. Since Gwen is carrying Arthur's child, Merlin would see it as his duty to safeguard the future of Camelot. He could be more involved in Arthur's personal affairs, which might initially annoy Arthur but eventually he'd come to appreciate Merlin's concern.

Popular 'Merlin Arthur Gwen fanfiction' often has strong character development. It dives deep into the personalities of Merlin, Arthur, and Gwen, showing their growth and how they interact with each other. For example, it might show how Arthur becomes more accepting of magic because of Merlin and his relationship with Gwen.

It could be that Gwen unknowingly has some sort of magical influence over Arthur. For example, if there is some ancient magic tied to her lineage that she's not aware of, and it's causing Arthur to focus only on her and forget about Merlin. Another aspect could be that Arthur's love for Gwen is so overpowering that it's subconsciously pushing out other important relationships, like the one with Merlin.

It could be a story where Merlin and Gwen attend a royal ball. Merlin, who is usually shy about his dancing skills, decides to ask Gwen for a dance. As they dance, they share a special moment and start to realize their feelings for each other more deeply.

The antagonists could be forces of dark magic. They might sense the power within the baby and want to either corrupt it or use it for their own evil purposes. For example, there could be a sorcerer who wants to steal the baby and raise it to be his minion. Also, some neighboring kingdoms that see Camelot's new heir as a future threat might send spies or assassins to target the baby.
