Morgana could also be a possibility. If Merlin gets in her way or thwarts her plans in a way that really angers her, and she wants to humiliate him as well as punish him, she might choose to spank him. Morgana has a complex relationship with Merlin and is not above using unorthodox means to get back at those who cross her.
Arthur could be the one to spank Merlin. Given their relationship where Arthur is the king and Merlin is his servant, if Merlin does something that Arthur believes is a serious offense against Camelot or his own authority, he might take this rather unorthodox form of punishment. Arthur is known for his hot - headedness and quick decision - making, so in a fit of anger, he could do it.
Gaius might be the one. As Merlin's guardian and mentor, if Merlin goes against Gaius's teachings in a very serious way, Gaius could see spanking as a way to discipline him. Gaius has a deep care for Merlin but also believes in strict upbringing, so this could be within his character in some interpretations of the fanfiction.
One possible storyline could be that Merlin makes a serious mistake in his magic that endangers Camelot, and as a form of punishment, he gets spanked. Another could be that he disobeys Arthur's direct order in a situation where it really matters, and this leads to the spanking as a disciplinary action. Maybe he accidentally reveals a secret that was crucial to keep, and the spanking is a way for the other characters to show their disappointment and enforce discipline.
Yes, there might be such fanfiction out there. Fanfiction platforms like Archive of Our Own (AO3) are likely to have a wide variety of fan - created stories. However, it's important to note that this concept might be quite out - of - the - ordinary for the Merlin series, which typically doesn't have such plotlines in the original show. You can search for it on relevant fanfiction websites using the specific keywords.
Yes, there might be such fanfictions in the vast world of fanfiction. However, it often involves non - canon and creative interpretations of the Arthur and Merlin relationship.

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.
It could be for comedic effect to lighten the mood and add some fun to the story.
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.
This type of plot also allows for exploration of the reactions of other characters. Arthur, for instance, might be filled with guilt if he discovers Merlin in such a state. Or Guinevere could show her nurturing side as she helps Merlin recover.
It could be Morgana. She has been known to be an antagonist and has a vendetta against Camelot and those associated with it. Poisoning Merlin would be a way to weaken Arthur's most powerful ally.
In this fanfiction, perhaps the burnishing of the staff is part of a larger plot. Maybe Merlin is preparing for a great battle or a significant magical encounter. The staff is often a key part of his magical abilities, so making it look and function better could be crucial. For example, a well - burnished staff might be able to channel more powerful spells or offer better protection against dark magic.
Well, if Merlin gets drunk in a fanfiction, it could lead to some really interesting character interactions. He might lose his usual inhibitions and act more freely. This could result in him getting into trouble with the court or the knights. He could also make a fool of himself in front of Gwen, which would be quite embarrassing for him later when he sobers up.
