Hi, this is MerlinPsych! Thanks for reading this, or at least considering reading it! I was thinking recently about making a Merlin/Tangled crossover, as there don't appear to be any others... (Correct me if I'm wrong,) ;) So... here it is! I'm not exactly sure how this will turn out, but we'll see where it takes me. This story takes place after 5X06 of Merlin and during the time Flynn and Rapunzel explore Corona.

Rapunzel backed away from the two mysterious, intimidating strangers. "Who are you and what do you want?!" she cried.

"I'm Merlin," said the one with dark hair and oversized ears who wore a neckerchief. "This is my master, um..." he turned to the other man, who was blond and wore armor, for help.

"I'm, erm... Lancelot," the other coughed, sending an irritated look at his laughing servant.

Then, Lancelot blinked. "That's some looong hair." he commented, eyeing Rapunzel's 70 feet of blond locks.

"DON'T YOU DARE COME AFTER MY HAIR!" Rapunzel shrieked in horror, "I WON'T LET YOU CUT IT!"

Merlin and Lancelot exchanged glances.

"Why," Arthur replied, looking very confused, "Would I ever want to cut your hair?"

"Well, why else would you be here with a sword?" Rapunzel snapped.

The two exchanged glances again.

"We're here looking for someone," Merlin responded.

Rapunzel calmed down a little bit, realizing that they weren't more guards searching for her and Eugene. "Oh. Who?"

"Her name is Lady Gothel," Arthur replied, coldly, "And she kidnapped Queen Guinevere and tried to kill Merlin. With magic."

Rapunzel gasped. "What?!" Her mother had tried to kill Merlin?! But he seemed like he was such a nice young man! Lancelot she wasn't so sure about, but… "Wait- how did this… WHY?!"

Lancelot looked at Merlin and she could overhear him whispering to him, "I think she's crazy. Let's go,"

Merlin shook his head at him. Too late now, he mouthed.

Rapunzel wondered if she should tell them she could hear them, but decided against it.

Lancelot shook his head. "We don't have time for this!" He hissed.

Merlin sighed. "Fine," he growled, "Go then! I guess I'll just have to interrogate her on my own-"

"Merlin!" Lancelot cried, smacking him upside the head, "You idiot! Don't give us away!"

"Ow!" Merlin complained, "Arthur-"

Both men froze.

Rapunzel just stared at them. "Uh, why did he just call you…?"

"RUN!" Arthur cried, and the two of them bolted off through the streets of Corona, to be stopped by Maximus leaping in front of them with Flynn on his back. They must have finished getting dinner, then.

Flynn hopped down from the horse, looking at Lancelot- er, that is, Arthur, and Merlin. "Rapunzel? Who are your friends?" he asked, suspisciously.

"They're looking for my mother," she whispered to him, "Apparently, she tried to kill the servant."

"Names?" Eugene asked.

"Merlin and-" Merlin began, looking away from her guiltily.

"King Arthur of Camelot!" Rapunzel cried, remembering, "That's where I know your name from!"

Arthur groaned. "Merlin, you idiot, you blew our cover in the first five minutes!"
"I'm sorry!" Merlin snapped, "Maybe you shouldn't have startled me!"

Arthur drew his sword, pointing it towards them. "We don't want any trouble," he warned, "We aren't here as enemies of Carona, even if our kingdoms are at war. We just need to find the criminal who escaped from our dungeons. We need to find my wife."

"You know," Merlin commented, "They always escape. Maybe we need sturdier cells."

Arthur sighed in mock exasperation. "But then how would I have bust you out all those times you got in trouble?" he teased.

Merlin sighed, dramatically, "Just quit punishing me then!"

"I can't," Arthur replied, "You just attract trouble wherever you go."

"I attract trouble?!" An incredulous Merlin cried, "Do you have any idea how many times I've had to save your sorry-"

Eugene cleared his throat. "Ahem. So, what do you want us to do here? Because I assume you must have some sort of plan for us, threatening us with your sword and all…"

Arthur looked over at his servant. "I'll hold them off," he muttered under his breath, "Run."

Merlin shook his head, quickly, with his stormy blue eyes wide. "Arthur, I'm not leaving you to-"

Rapunzel quickly knocked Arthur out cold with her frying pan while they were distracted. "You're not battling anyone!" she cried.

Merlin looked horrified, and suddenly his eyes began to glow a liquid golden color that Rapunzel recognized instantly.

"Whoa! My hair glows just like that!" she cried, startling Merlin into turning his eyes back to cobalt.

"Your hair glows?" he asked, clearly astonished.

"Yes, which can only mean… You have magic?" she cried in alarm.

"Rapunzel," Eugene warned, "Tie him up! NOW!"

She complied instantly, and in seconds Merlin was bound in hair.

His eyes began glowing again, but Maximus knocked him out before he could do anything with a whack of his hoof.

There was an awkward silence as Rapunzel and Flynn stared at their unconscious captives.

"Um, what now?" Rapunzel asked, nervously.

Uh oh... Merlin and Arthur talked to the wrong girl! And she knows Merlin's secret! How can this possibly end well?! I would love your ideas and feedback! Please Review! :) I'll try to update soon!
