To develop Merlin's character further, we could see him learning new types of magic that are more complex and dangerous. This would show his growth as a sorcerer. Also, his relationship with the king could be developed in a more nuanced way. Instead of just being the king's protector, he could become a confidant who the king turns to for advice not just on magical matters but also on personal and political issues. He could also start mentoring a young apprentice, which would show his own maturity as a sorcerer.

When Merlin is Uther's court sorcerer in fanfiction, his relationships are full of twists and turns.

Gaius would still be an important character. He serves as Merlin's mentor and confidant, even more so when Merlin is in the dangerous position of being Uther's court sorcerer.

They would be there to support Arthur and Merlin in different ways, and their loyalty to the two would be tested in various situations.

Or perhaps Merlin has to travel to a far - off land on a quest for the court, using his magic in new and untested ways.
A third storyline could involve Merlin facing the challenges of being in a position of power as a sorcerer in Uther's court while still being a servant at heart. He has to deal with the snobbery of the nobles who look down on him as a sorcerer, yet he has to use his influence to protect Arthur and Camelot.
