One great 'Aftermath Merlin Fanfic' could be 'The New Beginning'. It shows Merlin dealing with the post - Arthur era in a really emotional way. He tries to keep Arthur's legacy alive while also finding his own place in the world again.
Another one is 'A World Without Arthur'. In this fanfic, Merlin is really struggling with the loss of Arthur. He travels around the land, helping people in secret as he used to do, but he's constantly haunted by memories of Arthur. The author does a great job of portraying Merlin's grief and his journey towards acceptance.
Often, we also see new characters being introduced. For example, a young sorcerer who Merlin takes under his wing. This new character can act as a sort of foil to Merlin, showing how much he has grown and changed. And sometimes, we might see the return of Morgana in a different form, either as a spirit guiding Merlin or as an enemy he has to face one last time. It all depends on the direction the fanfic author wants to take.
Well, 'Aftermath: A New Hope' is also a wonderful fanfic. It shows how the community comes together in the aftermath of a catastrophe. The relationships between the characters are explored in a very engaging way, and it also has some great descriptions of the post - event world.
Some great 'aftermath graire fanfic' include 'Gaire's Path in the Aftermath'. In this fanfic, Gaire faces many challenges and overcomes them one by one. It also shows his growth as a character. Then there's 'After the Storm: Gaire's Story' which details Gaire's experiences in the time following a significant upheaval in his world.
One great Percy Merlin fanfic is 'The Magic of Friendship'. It beautifully combines the elements of the Percy Jackson and Merlin universes. The characters are well - developed, and the plot is engaging as it takes the two main characters on an adventure across different magical realms.
One great 'bamf Merlin' fanfic is 'The Power Within Merlin'. It really shows Merlin's hidden strength in a creative way. Another is 'Merlin's Hidden Abilities' which delves into how he uses his magic in unexpected situations to be a total badass.
One great 'assassin merlin fanfic' is 'The Hidden Blade'. It has an interesting take on Merlin as an assassin, with lots of action and a well - developed plot that keeps you hooked from the start.
In some fanfics, Arthur stabbing Merlin might be a part of an alternate universe plot. For example, if there are different power dynamics at play. Merlin might be seen as a threat to Arthur's rule for some reason, and Arthur, being a king who has to protect his kingdom, makes the hasty decision to stab him. However, later he realizes his mistake when he discovers Merlin's true intentions.
There are probably some 'Merlin Star Wars fanfic' that focus on character crossovers. Maybe a story where Arthur from Merlin's world gets transported to the Star Wars galaxy and has to adapt to the new technology and way of life while still holding onto his chivalrous values. He could form an unlikely alliance with a group of rebels.
I really like 'A Different Path'. It presents a unique take on the arthur x merlin dynamic. In this fanfic, they face new challenges together that are not in the original story, which makes it really interesting. It also has some really touching moments between them.
One great 'Arthur takes care of Merlin fanfic' could be 'The Healing Touch'. In it, Arthur discovers Merlin has been secretly injured while protecting him. Arthur then takes it upon himself to nurse Merlin back to health, showing a side of him that is both tender and determined.
