There might be a fanfiction where a group of children accidentally find a hidden cave that was once Merlin's. Inside, they find a magical object that can grant wishes, but as Merlin intended, only for children. The story could follow their adventures as they try to keep it a secret from adults who might misuse it.
One interesting fanfiction could be about a young wizard who discovers Merlin's old spells related to granting wishes but only for children. In this story, the wizard tries to understand the magic behind it and how it can be used to bring joy to the local kids. Maybe he stumbles upon an ancient book that has Merlin's secrets.
It can be developed by creating new characters. For example, a young girl who is the descendant of Merlin and has the ability to grant wishes to children. She could use this power to help kids in need, like those in an orphanage.
There could be a fanfiction where the 'Heart of Gold' is a metaphorical concept. For example, a character, say Arthur, discovers that Merlin has a 'heart of gold' in a way that he's selflessly been protecting Arthur all along, and this realization changes their relationship dynamics. This type of fanfiction would focus more on the emotional and character - driven aspects rather than a physical object.
Some fanfictions might explore the idea of Merlin having a more equal standing with the knights from the start. Instead of being the servant, he is seen as an important member of the group. This can lead to different character interactions, like Merlin being more involved in the knights' training or them relying on his wisdom more often.
In some fanfictions, Aithusa could play a role in Merlin's discovery of more of his powers. Since dragons are so closely tied to magic in the Merlin universe, Aithusa might show Merlin a new aspect of magic that he was previously unaware of. This could be through some sort of magical vision or by guiding Merlin to a place full of ancient magic.
In some fanfictions, Arthur saves Merlin from a magical creature that has been sent specifically to target Merlin because of his powerful magic. For example, a dark wizard sends a shadow demon after Merlin, and Arthur, with his courage and swordsmanship, manages to slay the demon and save Merlin. This often leads to a deeper bond between them as they realize how much they mean to each other.
One interesting Arthur courts Merlin fanfiction could be one where Arthur discovers Merlin's magic in a very unique way, like during a battle when Merlin has to use his powers openly to save Arthur. This creates a whole new dynamic between them as Arthur has to grapple with his long - held beliefs about magic and his friendship with Merlin.
There are fanfictions where the world of 'Harry Potter' and the legend of Merlin collide. For example, a story might have it that the Sword in the Stone has a connection to the Sword of Gryffindor. Merlin, being the powerful wizard he is, reveals this connection to Harry and together they unlock a new level of magic that can defeat the dark forces. This kind of fanfiction often plays with the rich mythologies of both universes, creating a really engaging read.
One interesting fanfiction could be where Harry Potter discovers Merlin's staff and it unlocks a new set of magical abilities within him. This could lead to him facing new challenges and enemies in the wizarding world.
One interesting fanfiction could be about a hidden connection between the magical world of Harry Potter and Merlin's vault. Maybe it reveals that some of the powerful artifacts in Merlin's vault have a role to play in the events of Hogwarts. For example, a powerful spell book from the vault finds its way into the Hogwarts library and causes all sorts of magical mayhem among the students.
Well, in the Three Wishes Children's Story, there's often a magical element involved. Maybe a fairy or a genie gives a child three wishes. Sometimes the story shows how the child's first two wishes might go wrong in some unexpected ways. And the third wish is used to fix the problems caused by the first two. It's all about the consequences of our desires and how we should be wise when we have the chance to get what we want.
