Summary
He turns his gaze back to Merlin, face tight as if braced for battle. “What did she do to you?” He asks.
Of course he does.
And Merlin tells him. He doesn’t want to, but he doesn’t try to resist either. He submits to the power within him, urging him to go ahead, ruin all that he holds dear with a simple truth.
“She gave me a truth potion.”
Or: Merlin is under a truth spell, but Arthur lets him keep his secrets.

Arthur huddles in the bedclothes. 'Throat hurts,' he croaks, and swallows painfully.

Summary
"There’s only a few of them around the office today. Most people have already gone home, taken the week off to celebrate Christmas with family and friends. Arthur will have leave soon, too. It’s a long drive to Camelot Manor, and the roads will be packed with other people desperate to go home.
Not that Arthur is desperate. He isn’t even sure he’s really going home."
*
Arthur is driving home for Christmas for a dinner with his father. After last year's debacle following his coming out, he'd really rather spend his Christmas Eve somwhere else. Or rather, with someone else.-

Summary
Hunith's child has magic. He has yet to be born, but it's the only explanation for why she can suddenly move things with her mind. She is taken in by the druids, and learns the name of her son from a goddess.
Twenty years later, Merlin follows in his mother's footsteps. He seeks the Triple Goddess to learn of his destiny, but all he sees is an image of a blond man and a set of runes that are important enough to be inked into his skin.
Arthur goes on a pilgrimage to Tintagel. On his way, his horse spooks and he is knocked from her back. Luckily for him, a traveler by the name of Merlin is there to help him. The two of them are drawn together, and might have just met their destiny.
(Mostly just an excuse to give Merlin tattoos. Includes art by cursedmerlinedits.)

Summary
Arthur supressed a sigh. He was at just the right level of exhaustion that he noticed everything. His body was trying to relax which just made his mind more alert. It wasn’t such an important feast, but some neighbouring lords had come and as the prince it was his duty to represent Camelot.

Summary
Arthur is five years old when his father decides he’s old enough to bear witness to his first execution. He sees two people he cares about burn, and it’s his fault that they are dying. He vows to never use his magic again, because he has seen first hand the damage it can do. So he locks it away, deep inside himself, and tries not to think about the incessant humming in his veins.
What if Arthur had magic, too?

Summary
“Saved my life? What on earth are you talking about? Father, all he’s done is cost us half our feasts dessert!” The Prince exclaimed and he was not pouting. He was absolutely not, no matter what Merlin said later! Speaking of Merlin… Arthur turned to glare accusingly at his manservant.
Merlin gave Uther a strange, almost startled look before looking back to Arthur. “You don’t… You don’t know?”
“Know what?!”

Summary
“Who is this?” Gaius finally asked.
Merlin yelped in surprise as he turned fast enough to almost lose his balance and stumble. The purse of Gaius’ lips and the raised eyebrows told Merlin his mentor was struggling not to laugh at the display. Merlin wouldn’t admit it, but he appreciated it.
“I found him on the street, I think he’s a druid. He can use mindspeech, but he can’t or won’t speak to me. I don’t really know who he is or where he’s from, but he needs help, Gaius. I couldn’t just let him freeze and starve out there. It’s just for a few days, I promise –”Or
Merlin finds Mordred on the street on a cold and rainy night and decides to take him in. He starts teaching the boy how to control his magic and Mordred soon becomes Merlin's ward.

Summary
Prompt fills for Whumptober 2021
Listen, I had plans to write one for each day, but then some that I did write ... grew. A little. Or a lot. Maybe there will be some drabbles, but this is probably gonna be more like a small selection of Whumptober fics rather than a full Whumptober. I do hope that the quality of the ones I do post makes up for it.
