In the 'Arthur forgets Merlin because of Gwen' fanfiction, what could be the possible reasons for Arthur's sudden forgetfulness of Merlin?

Merlin might be initially shocked and heartbroken. He has been so close to Arthur, and this sudden forgetfulness would be a huge blow to him.

One reason could be that in the fanfiction, Arthur and Merlin might have a deeper, more complex bond. Maybe they've shared more adventures and secrets that make Arthur value Merlin's presence more. Another possibility is that the writer might be exploring a different dynamic where Merlin offers something unique to Arthur that Gwen doesn't in that particular fictional scenario.

It could also be due to some past trauma. Perhaps Merlin has been through an experience where Arthur was involved in a way that now makes him flinch. Like, Arthur might have accidentally hurt Merlin during a battle training in the past, and now Merlin flinches whenever Arthur makes a sudden move.

One possible reason could be a misunderstanding. Maybe Merlin did something that Arthur misinterpreted as betrayal or dishonesty. For example, if Merlin was secretly helping an enemy for a greater good that Arthur wasn't aware of at the time.

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.

In a fanfiction, it could be that an evil sorcerer casts a spell on Gwen and Arthur's unborn baby. The baby starts to show strange and dangerous symptoms. Merlin is the only one who can sense what's really wrong. He has to race against time to break the spell. He delves deep into his magic knowledge and also consults ancient magical texts. Along the way, he has to hide his actions from those in Camelot who still distrust magic, all while trying to save the baby and ensure the future of Camelot's royal family.

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.

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.

One possible secret could be that Merlin is a powerful sorcerer from an ancient and powerful magical lineage. Maybe his family has a long - standing connection to Camelot that has been kept hidden.
