Merlin's magic by CitadelVeilt, Theroundbartable
Fandom: BBC Merlin, Good Omens (TV), Merlin (BBC), Merlin (TV), Merlin - Fandom, Merlin BBC, Merlin TV
04 Jul 2025
Summary
This is a series based on BBC Merlin.
It's about Merlin's magic and his relationship with Arthur. In as many different ways as I can imagine.
The knights and servants and other characters will also have many appearances. But the main focus will be on Merlin and Arthur.There is no need to read the stories in any order or all of them at all. Each story is it's own idea. They can be read separately.

Summary
Lancelot hesitates. Clearly he’s hit a significant nerve by hiding this injury, and it worries him. He doesn’t think he’s ever seen Merlin so worked up. “I’ve been cleaning it about twice a day,” he begins quietly, “and I tore my spare sheet to keep it covered. I haven’t used any herbs.”
Merlin stares down at the offending wound, lips pursed and forehead wrinkled in worry. “I have to drain it,” Merlin says grimly. “That pus has to come out.” He glances up at Lancelot, concern taking over the lingering anger in his eyes. “It will hurt.”
“I can bear it,” Lancelot assures. He pauses a moment, then continues. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. I meant to prevent work, but I only made more.”
“I don’t care about the work,” Merlin murmurs, returning to the gash and avoiding Lancelot’s apologetic gaze. “Lance…”
Lancelot hides an injury, hoping to prevent more work for Merlin, who is swamped caring for four others. But the wound becomes infected, so he reluctantly reveals it to Merlin, expecting the angry response—but not the reason behind it.

Summary
Merlin hated his neighbor.
It wasn't an epic hatred, like the one between dark wizards and the chosen ones chosen by a Prophecy (Merlin loved Harry Potter and wouldn't apologize, sorry); it was a more... practical hatred. The kind that arose when the neighbor started the washing machine at two in the morning. Or parked in his neighbor’s driveway. Or worse yet, jogged at six in the morning in front of your door just because he was the devil's most loyal and tried to damn people to Hell by stimulating their murderous instincts.

Summary
Everyone he trusted with his secret – Will, Freya, Balinor, Lancelot, and now Gaius – was gone. Arthur would never bring magic back to the land, and he would never let Merlin stand at his side the way Merlin had hoped he would. It was a cold awakening, years of baseless faith dashed against the fraying tapestry that destiny had made Merlin sew into his own skin, but an awakening nonetheless.
Merlin is shaken out of his obsession with destiny and his blind faith in Arthur. Arthur just wishes he knew how to get his closest friend back.
(For Merthur Angst Week 2021 Day 7: “No. You don’t get to talk.”)

Never Knew What We Had (Until He Was Gone) by Merlinfirstlastalways
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
29 Jun 2024

Summary
Arthur was at his wits' end when he caught Merlin walking out of the tavern, which led him to make a horrible mistake, one that proved to be the last straw for Merlin, who decided there was nothing else to do but publically quit his job and leave Camelot in a huff.
Arthur never realized how much Merlin did for him-- or for Guinevere-- until he was gone; neither he nor his wife realized just how integral Merlin was to Camelot... and to their marriage.

Summary
"Gwaine." Arthur says finally, already feeling a headache set in.
"King Arthur Pendragon of Camelot." Gwaine smiles gracefully??
At this, the knights and Arthur blanch as one. Of course he is possessed, Gwaine won't use a proper title to save his life."I am not possessed..." Gwaine declares, looking directly at Arthur, then a bit to his left, gaze softening almost imperceptibly, expression incredulous as he says, "... especially not by a fictitious arthropod/villain of a show that doesn't air for 1500 years."
Arthur cannot tell you what the bastard meant with such an absurd proclamation, considering how it was utter codswallop. But Merlin seems to understand something he doesn't, and gives out a sort of 'meep' sound.
or
George asks Arthur to get his head out of his ass. Leon slowly loses his will to live. Gwaine and Merlin remember floating in supernovas. Albion blooms.

Summary
Arthur feels like he’s standing on a precipice without knowing how he got here. He swallows. “He—”
“—damned himself. So you’ve said.”
They stare at each other, and the distance between them seems to be growing in leaps and bounds. Arthur can’t remember the last time he felt so estranged from Merlin, not during the whole disaster with Caerleon, or when Merlin disappeared. Not even when—
“Then I’ve damned myself as well.”
Without intending to, Arthur pushes Merlin just one step too far. Now he's left without his manservant but a hundred questions, a world of hurt, and guilt that clings to him like a shadow. Well, and a notebook filled with drawings because apparently, Merlin can draw on top of being a sorcerer. No matter how often Arthur tells himself that he just wants to forget, he can't help but come back to the collection of sketches and notes, a chronicle of all that Merlin has done.
Maybe their story isn't quite over yet.

Summary
What Arthur knows: Merlin, his clumsy and foolish servant, is actually quite smart. He’s also loyal, and brave, and in many ways the reason Arthur has so many good people in his life.
The goal: Make Merlin realize how important he is to Arthur, no matter how stubborn he's clearly chosing to be about it.
What Arthur does not know, yet: Merlin has magic. Also they're very slightly a little bit in love.
It's going to take them a while to figure it all out. Meanwhile the knights have known for ages, Gwen figures it out pretty quick, and pretty much all of Camelot has also known ever since that weird peasant stumbled through the gates and challenged the Prince all those years ago.

Summary
The magic reveal is not glamorous. After Ismere, Merlin confesses practically on a whim—while in the midst of his evening chores—and Arthur is forced to question everything he thinks he knows. What follows is a journey that tests their friendship, Arthur’s kingship, and Merlin’s faith. Known like never before, Merlin discovers that he has more secrets than just his magic to confess, some of them difficult and guilty; meanwhile, Arthur is tasked with undoing the fear of magic Uther has left behind in the kingdom, and in Arthur’s own heart. Together, can they defy Arthur’s prophesized death, and guide Camelot towards its Golden Age?
An episodic Series 5 rewrite.

Requiem of a Forgotten Prince by kairennart (Personaje), queerofthedagger
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
29 Aug 2022
Tags
Summary
'You will forget all that you hold dear,' the sorcerer had vowed before he attacked Arthur, leaving his patrol dead and Arthur achingly thankful that for once, Merlin hadn’t been with him. Well, and he is quite certain that he hasn’t forgotten anything.
As it turns out, everyone else has; specifically about him, and that Camelot is supposed to have a crown prince.
When Merlin stumbles across him by chance, Arthur should be relieved. And he would be, really—if he hadn’t just been stabbed, and found out that Merlin has magic while he was at it. That Merlin does not remember who he is, either.
It all gets a lot more complicated from there on out as Arthur tries to keep his own secrets, deal with the revelations about Merlin, and find a way not only to restore Camelot's memories, but protect it against the threats gathering on the horizon, too.
When it rains, it pours; sometimes, the aftermath might just be worth it.

Summary
Arthur doesn’t sleep. He feels heavy with guilt at the knowledge that he nearly killed his best friend. His only friend. He wishes he’d never found out about Merlin’s magic. Then this wouldn’t have happened.
Or, no, that’s not true. He didn’t have to react that way, didn’t have to use cold iron. He could’ve at least spoken to Merlin first. But he didn’t, and now his only friend’s nearly dead. Every time he closes his eyes he sees Merlin’s terrified, accusing look.
Arthur finds out about Merlin's magic and decides to keep him safe by stopping his magic. Unfortunately, thinking he's protecting him and actually doing so are completely different things.

Summary
Merlin is the perfect servant.
That's how everyone figures out something is wrong.
After a large argument with Arthur, Merlin shuts off. He no longer will argue with Arthur.
Arthur is being driven insane by the silent treatment, or more accurately to respectful treatment, and drowns his sorrows at his father's ball.
