One popular Lady Merlin fanfiction could be those that explore her hidden magical powers in new and unexpected ways. For example, a story might have her use her magic to save Camelot from a threat that was not in the original tales. Another type could be fanfictions that focus on her relationships, like a deep friendship with Arthur that goes beyond what was shown in the source material.
Morgana could be a great antagonist. She might see the Lady of the Lake as a threat to her own power and plans for Camelot. And she could try to stop any alliance between Merlin and the Lady of the Lake.
The relationship can be developed through shared secrets. For instance, if Merlin discovers a hidden prophecy that only the Lady of the Lake can help him understand. This would create a bond of trust between them as they work together to figure out the meaning of the prophecy.
One idea could be that the Lady of the Lake gives Merlin a special power that he has to learn to control. For example, the power to control water in a way that no other sorcerer can. This could lead to him facing challenges as others might fear or envy this new ability.
To write your own Lady Merlin fanfiction, start by brainstorming ideas. Think about what kind of story you want to tell. Is it a story set in Camelot, or does she travel to new places? Once you have an idea, outline your story. Include the beginning, middle, and end. When writing, focus on her character development. Show how she grows and changes throughout the story. Also, make sure to proofread your work for grammar and spelling errors.
One idea could be that the Lady of the Lake has a premonition about a great danger coming to Camelot and she enlists Merlin's help to prevent it. They have to go on a journey to find an ancient artifact that can save the kingdom.
In a more humorous take on the 'Merlin tied to a bed' fanfiction, it could be that Merlin has fallen ill and the overly - protective Gaius has tied him to the bed to make sure he rests. Merlin, being the active person he is, complains constantly. Arthur comes to visit and teases Merlin about finally being still for once. Meanwhile, Merlin tries to convince Arthur to let him loose, promising that he'll be fine. Eventually, Gaius relents and unties Merlin, who then immediately starts bustling around the room.
If Merlin died in the fanfiction, it could trigger a series of tragic events. The balance of power could tip, and the villains might seize the opportunity to attack. It could also bring out hidden strengths in the remaining characters as they try to cope with the loss.
One more idea is that Merlin is tied to the bed in a dream - like state created by an ancient magic. In this dream world, he is faced with his deepest fears and insecurities. His friends in the real world notice his strange behavior and try to wake him up. Merlin, while in the dream, has to find the source of the magic that is binding him and break free. Through his inner strength and the memories of his friends, he manages to do so and wakes up, having learned more about himself and his magic.
