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.
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.
Another possibility is a character who has been possessed by an evil spirit. They may not be in their right mind when they stab Merlin. This could add an element of mystery as Merlin has to figure out not only who stabbed him but also how to exorcise the spirit from the person's body.
Another candidate could be Kakashi. As Naruto's sensei, he is in charge of Naruto's training and development. If Naruto continuously disobeys orders or fails to progress as he should, Kakashi might use this unorthodox method of spanking to get Naruto back on track.
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.
One possible reason could be a magical curse. In many Merlin fanfictions, magic is often used as a plot device. A dark sorcerer might cast a spell on Merlin to make him forget certain things, perhaps to prevent him from using his powerful magic to oppose them. Another reason could be a self - imposed forgetting due to trauma. Merlin has witnessed and endured a great deal of pain and suffering. To protect his own mental state, his mind might subconsciously block out certain memories.
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. You can search on popular fanfiction platforms like Archive of Our Own (AO3) to see if there are any stories with this premise.
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.

Maybe in the fanfiction, Uther discovers the creativity and the different perspectives on his world and characters, and he sees value in it. He might be a more open - minded version of himself in the fan - created stories.
Maybe an older, more experienced mentor figure. If Cammy White has made a rookie mistake or shown disrespect towards the mentor's teachings, the mentor could spank her to teach her a lesson and set her on the right path.
