Summary
Merlin never wanted to come to Camelot. But with his home reduced to ashes and nowhere else to turn, he has no choice but to seek refuge with his uncle, a court physician under King Uther’s rule. All he wants is a quiet life—one of healing, learning, and keeping his strange gifts hidden.
But the moment he steps within Camelot’s walls, he feels it. A presence watching. A hunger waiting.
Prince Arthur Pendragon is nothing like the noble protector of legends. He is ruthless, possessive, and drawn to Merlin in ways neither of them fully understand. Every time Merlin tries to escape, Arthur is there to catch him—tender, terrifying, and utterly unwilling to let him go.

Summary
When Arthur was thirteen, he was miraculously saved from drowning in a river. He remembers the sensation of hands pulling him to safety, and the warmth of something's presence. He listened to Gaius, who had told him it was in his head, but many years later, he finds a strange feather right after a chandelier had crushed a witch who'd been attempting to kill him. Arthur's certain he didn't imagine it; something was watching over him.

Summary
Merlin is new to Camelot, and he often gets lost. Sometimes he sees things he shouldn't. But he's not an idiot. He'd never tell anyone, except maybe Arthur. And one time, when he's very upset, Gaius.
As far as Arthur is concerned, Merlin is an idiot. He doesn't understand how anything works in Camelot. Arthur finds it hilarious, until he overhears Merlin confiding in Gaius. Which leaves him with a terrible dilemma, and one burning question: who's the idiot now?

Summary
This fic is inspired by a completely wild and spiralling-out-of-hand discussion we had on a merlin twitter gc. I'm trying to keep it as PG as possible, okay?
Prompt: Remember how in season 1 there was a shot of Gaius's table, and there were some inexplicable stuff like a rabbit mask on the table, among others? Yeah, let's see a scene where Merlin gets to call out Gaius's.....rabbit problem - featuring, borderline not-PG innuendos, Gaius epically failing to explain to an innocent!Merlin, and poor, poor Arthur.
Crack, kind of.

Summary
~
Chapter One:“What on earth are you doing?” The british voice asked bemused.
“I am uncovering the secrets of the universe-”
“-He’s playing with Merlin’s things.”
“Gwaine!”Chapter Two: “I told you I was innocent.” Arthur grinned smugly at Gwaine.
Chapter Three: The muffled thumping intensified until the inconspicuous door banged open, and a spaniard toppled out.
“Gwaine? What’s wrong? Gwaine- please wake up! Please wake up!”Chapter Four:
"Arthur no."
"Arthur yes."
"Arthur no-"~
Post Sucessful~
Basically, Merlin is introducing Arthur to modern technology and Gwaine ends up accidentally posting videos of them and introducing the worlds to the real Arthur and Merlin (and the knights, duh) .
