Merlin - To Be A King
To Be a King by JessieJay13. When Merlin discovers that his father was an estranged prince and he himself is now the only heir to the throne of a magical kingdom, he is forced to leave Camelot for the perils of a royal court. Will Merlin be able to win Arthur's favor again before Morgana launches an attack on a defenseless Camelot? Will he be able to defend his own kingdom at the same time or will all be lost?
Status: 27 chapters. Complete. Author says a sequel is in the works.
So I've been looking for a well-written, finished fic where Merlin is royalty for a very long time, but I think a lot of authors find it hard to deal with reconciling Merlin's destiny to protect Arthur with being a king in a foreign land. JessieJay13 does an admirable job, and solves a lot of the problems in the final Merlin season to boot. It was a pleasure to read.
