One interesting proactive Merlin fanfiction could be where Merlin uses his magic more openly to change the political landscape in Camelot. For example, he might secretly influence laws that are unfair to the common people. Another could be about Merlin taking proactive steps to train Arthur in magic, defying the ban in Camelot.

One interesting Merlin and Arthur fanfiction could be where Merlin reveals his magic to Arthur in a very unexpected and comical way.

This could be a fun and light - hearted fanfiction exploring their relationship in a new context.

Well, in some Merlin death fanfiction, Merlin might die in a battle against an ancient evil. His death could lead to a series of events where Camelot starts to crumble without his magic and wisdom.
