    Summary

    "How was your journey here?" Balinor asked.
    “It would have been pleasant if a certain servant had stopped prattling on during the entirety of it.“ Arthur gave the black haired boy a pointed look, but the servant just shrugged and turned to Balinor.
    „Don‘t mind him. He woke up at the wrong side of the bed today, which wasn‘t my fault, may I add. I‘m Merlin.“
    And then he stuck out his hand, oblivious to the way Arthur‘s mouth dropped open

    Or, during the Great Purge, Balinor can convince Uther not to kill all dragons. Instead, Uther magically imprisons him and the remaining dragons at the Dragon's Keep. Now, almost twenty years later, prince Arthur regualary comes to check on him. Things change, when he brings a certain manservant with him.

    Summary

    Uther is faced with a small problem. And by "Small Problem" he means the crown Prince and his Manservant are now seven years old. Pure fluff. I've been attacked by the mental image of seven-year-old Arthur Oneshot. A take over of the royal court ensues.

    Summary

    Tom the Blacksmith gets so much more than he bargained for when he decides to adopt the baby he finds floating down the river in a basket. Eighteen years later, Merlin has grown into quite the proficient swordsman-- and quite the powerful sorcerer. When Crown Prince Arthur Pendragon convinces his father to hold an open melee with a knighthood as the prize, Merlin, his brother Elyan, and a ragtag group of commoners decide to enter. They soon discover that there is much more at play in the tournament than stuck-up knights and a contemptuous king. As Arthur becomes smitten with Merlin-- whose skill with a sword is unparalleled-- he discovers that there is so much more to this strange, mouthy blacksmith's son than he had initially imagined.

    Summary

    Now, Uther couldn't be redeemed. It's as obvious as it is certain that a task like this is impossible.
    But what would have to change to make him... at least acceptable?
    It's easy. Give him a heart.

     

    Alternatively: My attempt at writing an Uther who is mostly the same, but he actually cares about Arthur's and Morgana's wellbeing.
