Summary
After the encounter with the Disir, Merlin finds himself forced to take destiny into his own hands to prevent Arthur's fate and must come to accept his role as Emrys.
Arthur, too, is afraid he has sealed the fate of Camelot in refusing to allow magic to return to the land. When he hears tell of the fated Emrys, a God who is meant to help him usher in a golden age of peace, he cannot imagine turning down his kingdom's last chance at salvation.

Summary
Emrys was starving.
It was a gnawing, aching sort of hunger, the kind that stayed and held itself inside you like a bruise.
He should be used to it. It was expected he suffer in the forsaken citadel. Camelot’s castle towers stretched like barren trees, limbless in the unforgiving sky, and nothing grew from them. The water these people drank was empty of its true richness and slaked nothing in his cracking throat. Their food was tasteless, sand coating his tongue and stones cracking his teeth. It made him restless, his hunger -restless and weak and unforgiving.

Summary
“You burned me alive, as you burned me in every warlock I lived inside, in every sorcerer who asked my blessing. Your father slaughtered me by the hundreds and you by scores. Your weapon sought my throat always, and even when I lived beside you, in your service, I was forced to kill my own. I died by your word, Arthur, not the honor of your hand but the voice of your contempt. So Merlin died so Emrys died. You wonder why your fields grow ash and your cattle sicken and your people cannot conceive? You are responsible. I could not live in a land that had destroyed me.” His voice thickens, “I could not serve a man who wished me dead.”
The rulers of the five kingdoms ask magic to choose who will draw Caliburn and so rule Albion.

Summary
“Hmmm,” the goddess hums, “yes I see that this kingdom is in dire straits. I will have to rectify that immediately.” With a flick of her wrist Uther is flung from the throne and off the dais into the crowd of courtiers who fill the room. Arthur gives a shout as he moves to help his father, but before he can move more than a step from his seat he is held back by some invisible force. Even Morgana had stood up in shock when Uther was thrown. Kethra gives Arthur a reprimanding look and Arthur stops struggling. The members of the court have already helped Uther back to his feet. Though the king cannot speak he is trying his best to scream at the goddess. “The ruler of this kingdom is in a pathetic condition. Camelot is under the dominion of the gods and shall be ruled by one worthy of her. Camelot shall be ruled by the strongest among you.”

Summary
"Having been near you all these years, I am not unaware of the goings on of court, or the way you nobles like to do things.” He gives a half smile at that but doesn’t convince himself of his own humor, “I also know… that when a new king comes to power, he inherits his predecessor’s information network. His spies.”
Arthur leans back, folding his arms and narrowing his eyes, “That’s true, Merlin. I’ve been expecting whomever my father’s last spymaster was to come to me for days now. Do you know who it is?”
Don’t fidget. Don’t shift your weight. Goddess take you, Merlin, stand still. He clears his throat, “It was Gaius for a long time.”
The young king relaxes an imperceptible amount, and nods, “He’d have access to everyone, from villager to noble, and friendly relationships with most. Who is it now?”
Merlin stares at him, then spreads his palms helplessly, “Me.”
Merlin is Camelot’s spymaster and must reveal himself as such to Arthur when he becomes king.

Summary
Merlin is not human. Not truly. And this body—this fragile, mortal vessel—is never enough to contain what he is.
He has always had the ability to slip free, to unshackle himself from flesh and bone, if only for a moment.Arthur learns of it in the worst way imaginable. And with it, he learns the truth of Merlin’s magic.

Summary
The wind whispers to those who listen, as do the rain and the worms. They whisper of a foolish king and a merciless deity. They whisper about the slow decay of the world and the rebirth of all things.
They whisper that, during the Great Purge, Uther trapped a being no mortal was ever meant to trap. He bound it in the deepest cave of his kingdom and atop the highest peak of his land.
And the rain whispers: fear not, for only mortals remain bound forever. The seasons will come and go, the world will freeze and the snow will melt. And one day, Emrys will be free once more. Magic will walk the Earth anew.
◊◊ ◊◊ ◊◊
Arthur is in love. Merlin is tired. And Mordred will free Emrys, no matter the cost.

Summary
Merlin is not a sorcerer.
He is magic itself—older than language, older than the stars, shaped into mortal form and bound by fate to serve the one king who might unite Albion. To Arthur, he is only a manservant. A friend. An annoyance, perhaps. But beneath the clumsy smiles and rolled eyes, something...old stirs.
And now, the world is screaming. Magic—his magic—howls with the weight of a coming storm. Visions of war. A crown shattered. Camelot in flames. Every time Merlin listens to the bones of the earth, he loses a little more of himself. Every time he holds his silence, the voices grow louder. Until at last, they begin to break him.
He can no longer keep the truth buried. Arthur must know what walks beside him. What protects him. What might one day destroy him. Because something is coming. And it will fall here. And kill them all.

Summary
He stares up, confused why this one is denying his nature. He tilts his head, “Are you not a god?”
Merlin blinks, and then a moment later is doubled over with laughter, until he has to sit down with him on the grass and clutch his side, nearly crying. “Me?” He sputters, “Oh, tell that to Arthur, he’d love that.” He giggles again, grinning as if they’re sharing some fond joke.
Lancelot stares, then shakes his head. A trickster god, perhaps? But no, that light… it could only come from the highest of sources, not a simple spirit or fae.
“What makes you think I’m a god anyways?”
“You look human, but here,” he motions to the center of his own chest, “there is something else. Something more. It is small, but dense and bright beyond what my eyes could register. Gold or white or lightning-blue, trapped in tight vibrations. It is a god’s light, and pure.”
Merlin swallows, looking away as he digests this, “I…that’s not me. You must be mistaken, my friend. My mother was a mortal woman and I bleed like any other.”

Summary
Arthur feels sick at the sight, because there is just so much, so much blood for one little body. A body that once smiled, and joked, and cooked, and cleaned. Arthur never imagined this. Not ever, not Him. Merlin isn't supposed to look so. Lifeless.
Merlin wasn't supposed to have magic either.

Summary
The buzzing in Mordred ears has replaced all coherent sound. Fillingfillingfilling his brain upupup until only raw, unadulterated horror remains.
The buzzing stops. Along with everything else.
Arthur is poised mid smack, hand raised to cuff Merlin in the neck. Frozen. Silent. And so is everything else. Knights practicing on the training field, a bird flapping its wings in the autumn air, servants buzzing around their masters and lugging laundry baskets. Unmoving. Frozenfrozenfrozen.
"Hello Mordred."

When Life Comes Knocking [Send a Dragon After Her] by TheCourtSorcerer
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)

Summary
A few minutes passed, and Arthur heard no more speech, just the sound of Merlin walking around his chambers. Making the assumption she truly had left (though, how he didn’t know, he assumed through sorcery), Arthur quietly walked away from his chambers a few metres before loudly walking back to them and swinging the door open with a bang as he walked in to announce his presence.
When he walked inside, he saw Merlin hunched over his desk, scribbling on parchment quickly. He glanced up, and smiled when he saw Arthur walking over.
“Oh, hello, Sire. I’m just adding some finishing touches to your speech for next week,” he explained, dipping the quill he was using in a well of ink before going back to writing. Arthur just nodded at him and walked to his bed, dropping onto it.

“I’m not dealing with this today,” Merlin said. “If you would like to take a pass at the throne, please come back when I’ve had a decent night’s sleep.”

Summary
“Merlin?” His eyes snapped open, and he looked straight ahead to the man in front of him. When his eyes landed on him, the god relaxed, letting out a breath of relief.
“Arthur…” he sighed softly, the tenseness easing from his shoulders as they drooped. “It’s just you.”
“Just me?” Arthur raised an eyebrow.

Summary
He has known the turned back of each he once trusted to protect him, the creeping understanding of sweet eyes he would never again see. He has known the slow, small death of starvation, and the aching, gasping death of sudden pain. He has known the ire of the eyes of men and walked in ruins laid to waste by creatures older than their names. He has known the gaze of Emrys turned on him in hate and loathing with a length of steel streaking for his throat. He has known fear greater than this.
And so he moves, in spite of his terror.
As the others clash about to rally or flee, he rides to his king. He hoists the man’s armored form onto the saddle with a strength born of desperation and climbs up behind him, electricity spurring through his motions. He kicks his mare, and she needs no further encouragement.
They run.
