It could be a story of conflict and redemption. Maybe the knight realizes his mistake and tries to make amends with Merlin.
Possibly, it's a tale of power struggle and character growth. The bad treatment might force Merlin to find inner strength and the knight to confront his own flaws.
It might be a story of friendship tested. Despite the bad treatment initially, they could eventually overcome their differences and form a genuine bond.
In Merlin fanfiction, Merlin might tell a story about his magic origins. Maybe he shares how he discovered his powers as a young boy in Ealdor. He could talk about the first time he made something extraordinary happen, like making a flower bloom in the dead of winter. This story would not only be about his powers but also about the fear and wonder he felt at that moment.
A third common theme is adventure. They go on quests together, fight battles, and face various challenges. This gives the fanfiction an exciting and action - filled element as they explore new lands and encounter different creatures.
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 great Merlin and Green Knight fanfiction is 'The Encounter of Magic'. It delves into how Merlin's magic might interact with the Green Knight's otherworldly presence. Another interesting one is 'Green Knight's Quest in Camelot' which shows the Green Knight's journey to Camelot and his encounters with Merlin and the court.
Merlin was a powerful wizard. He was Arthur's mentor and advisor.
Perhaps some of the snooty nobles who look down on Merlin and constantly try to get him into trouble. They could be making fun of his clumsy ways one too many times and he just snaps and hits them with a shoe. It would be a moment of satisfaction for the readers who don't like those arrogant characters.
A sense of adventure would be in Merlin's story. He has been on many quests and journeys. He might talk about traveling to far - off lands in search of a solution to a problem in Camelot. He could describe the different landscapes he saw, from snow - covered mountains to vast deserts. And of course, there would be elements of good versus evil, as Merlin constantly battles against the forces of darkness to protect the light in Camelot.
If Merlin is a Dark Lord in fanfiction, it could be an interesting exploration of the 'nature vs. nurture' concept. Maybe he turned dark because of the constant fear of being discovered and persecuted for his magic. His actions as a Dark Lord might include taking over Camelot or exacting revenge on those who wronged him in the past. It gives a whole new perspective on his character.
In such fanfictions, Merlin is often depicted as a revered figure. The druids might see him as a mentor or a savior. For example, he could be the one who brings new magical knowledge to the druids.
Well, it could be in a dystopian future setting where scientists are conducting experiments on magical beings like Merlin to unlock their powers for some ulterior motive.
