this is my idea for Season 5

at the series finale, the apprentice after getting free from the hat creates a magic door back to the EF. he travels to a castle where we meet the sorcerer who is reading something. the apprentice says something about the author and the sorcerer turns and monologues as he walks to the window. the camera goes down till it stops at a sword in a stone.

then that leads into either a usual 11 episode Camelot arc or a full season plot. Morgan le Fey will be the villain (the first or the other dark one) who is plotting to take over Camelot which is abandoned after Arthur disappeared and the round table disbanded. Merlin resides inside the castle protected by a force field, a similar one to Cora's to protect Camelot from both dark curses. a trio of round table knights fight to survive against Morgan's forces as the seek the Lady of the Lake. Mordred (in this version he is gay but that really happening is unlikely which is annoying) is trying to seek revenge on Merlin for letting his lover (insert character name) from being taken by the dark curse and he becomes a misunderstood hero. Morgan takes over halfway through and the Storybrooke cast travel to Camelot (like with Neverland) and help Merlin fend off Morgan and find Arthur.

if that lot lasts the usual 11 episodes then it leads into a Agrabah arc with Jafar being freed from the lamp by Drizela, the sister to Anastasia. Jafar plans on doing something to Storybrooke that involves genies. Mulan helps the main cast with fighting Jafar while she deals with Aurora and Phillip (awkward conversations). Emma while on a case sees two men breaking into Mr. Gold's shop where she is on hot pursuit. she catches one of them, Flynn who back in EF was Prince Eugene, a reckless prince who steals items (cross between story version and Tangled version). he reveals the second thief is Aladdin who is trying to get back Jasmine who they had a falling out with. while this is going on, the author storyline continues to whatever direction it's going. so this goes on for 11 episodes until the finale where Drizela changes sides, Jafar is killed permanently and people singing Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah. until the secret villain reveals himself (or herself) as Blue fairy goes crazy and becomes the black fairy (unless Maleficent is). the end
