What are the common themes in fanfiction where knights are possessive of Merlin?

Love and protection are common themes. Arthur's possessiveness often comes from his love for Merlin and his desire to protect him from harm. For example, in many fanfics, Arthur will not allow others to harm or even insult Merlin.

One common theme is the exploration of forbidden love. Since Merlin is a sorcerer and the knights are bound by the laws of Camelot, their relationships often have to be kept secret. Another theme is the power dynamics, as Merlin has magic which gives him a certain kind of power, and the knights have their own physical and social power. This can create interesting tensions in the relationships.

One common theme is loyalty. The knights' loyalty to Merlin and vice versa is often explored. It shows how they stand by each other through thick and thin.

Love, in different forms, is also a theme. It could be platonic love with a possessive edge, or it could be budding romantic love. The fanfiction may explore how this love affects their actions and decisions. For example, Arthur's possessive actions might be his way of expressing love without fully realizing it. And Merlin's reaction to it can be a way to show the growth of their relationship.

One popular one is 'The Knight's Claim'. In this fanfic, the knights show their possessiveness in a protective way. They are always by Merlin's side, not allowing any harm to come to him. It's a great read for those who like this kind of dynamic.

One common theme is his unrequited love. Snape's possessive nature often stems from his deep, unspoken love for someone, usually the protagonist. Another theme is his need for control. His possessiveness can be seen as a way to control the situation and the person he is interested in.

One common theme is protection. Edward's possessiveness often stems from his desire to protect the object of his affection. He sees himself as the one who can keep them safe from all harm.

Love and jealousy is another theme. His possessiveness can be seen as an extreme form of love, and jealousy often plays a part when he feels someone else is getting too close to his loved one. For example, if another character shows an interest in the person Edward loves, his possessive side flares up.

One big theme is the exploration of magic. In many Merlin female fanfictions, the female characters are either learning magic, or have a special connection to magic that is different from the male characters. For instance, a female character might have a more intuitive approach to magic. Also, the theme of friendship is present. A female character could form a strong friendship with Merlin or other characters like Guinevere, and this friendship is crucial in their adventures.

Power and responsibility are common themes. As Merlin becomes king, he has to handle the power he's gained while being responsible for his kingdom. Another theme is magic and its role in ruling. Since Merlin is a powerful sorcerer, fanfictions often explore how his magic affects his kingship, whether it's for protection or for the betterment of the kingdom.
