Summary
Arthur is saying things. Strange things. Gwaine thinks it’s the best council meeting he’s ever attended. Merlin is increasingly concerned. Everyone else is doing their best to survive it.
I apologise for this in advance. This is the result of being awake for 28 hours straight and having a very questionable idea at some point in the middle of the night. “what if Arthur Pendragon came back from the future and immediately started talking like this.” It is not meant to be taken seriously in any way.

Summary
“I didn’t know!” Merlin’s voice rises in pitch now to match Arthur’s. “I didn’t know what you would do, not at first—”
“And what about after I helped you get the druid boy out of the castle? Hmm?”
Arthur has Merlin there, or at least he thinks he does. Certainly, Merlin deflates a bit, and the strange, heavy atmosphere that had settled over them seems to lighten slightly. But the next words out of Merlin’s mouth are, “So I was supposed to just let you make me leave too? I couldn’t do that, Arthur, I wouldn’t. Not then, not ever.”
“I wouldn’t have sent you away,” Arthur protests before he can think better of it. He’s struggling to hold onto the anger, the betrayal, but in the face of Merlin’s own evident pain, his overwhelming instinct is to make it go away. “I would have never sent you away, Merlin!”
“Why not?” Merlin demands.
“Don’t—” Arthur swallows hard. “Don’t pretend you don’t know,” he goes on, barely more than a whisper. “Not now.”
--
In which Arthur finds discovers Merlin's magic due to Merlin's own bleeding heart, they acknowledge the bond they share, and Arthur realizes that he never had to know about Merlin's magic to truly know him anyway.

Summary
King Uther is dead. Long live the king.
When an old enemy crawls from the grave and cuts Uther down, an inexperienced and grieving Prince Arthur is forced to take the throne. As king, Arthur will be tested by regular magical attacks, his father's conservative council, and his own self-doubt. Yet he faces an even greater foe: Uther's shadow stretches long and dark across the land of Camelot, and if Arthur wants to forge a golden future for his people, he must first unravel the sins of the past.
Merlin is used to living in shadow, but serving the new king thrusts him out into the light. Torn between a need for secrecy and his budding friendship with Arthur, Merlin does his best to protect Camelot the only way he knows.
But no one can hide forever in a place they call home. Arthur lacks his father's zealotry, but he's no friend to magic either. Can Merlin hold on long enough to soften Arthur's heart? Or will he be forced to spend the rest of his life fleeing the way he fled Ealdor, too strange and wild to ever feel safe?
Or;
BBC Merlin if Kilgarrah never whispered destiny in Merlin's ear.

Summary
Loneliness is an insidious thing. When Merlin looks at Arthur, he sees not just a prince waiting for his time to rule, but a young man struggling to find his place in the world, with little help from anyone else.
The truth is, Arthur needs more than the friendship Merlin can offer. He needs people he can trust: men and women who will become his court and his confidants, and if he is going to survive to take the throne and lead Camelot into its golden age, he needs them sooner rather than later.
Finding loopholes in Uther’s laws is no easy feat. Court life is a dangerous game, but it’s one Merlin has every intention of winning so that Arthur can have knights of his choosing by his side.
And then there is the matter of his magic…

Summary
He shouldn’t have done it.
Sleeping with his king — in the state Arthur was in that night.
The worst part is, he doesn’t even remember all of it.— Just enough.The kiss. Arthur’s mouth, warm against his own. The breathless moans pulled from his throat. The way it felt like he was drunk — but even without the potion that caused all of this, Merlin knew one touch from Arthur would make him feel like he'd spent two whole weeks drinking in the tavern.
And flashes of what came next.
Enough to know that this time, he truly fucked up.
So when he wakes, naked in his king’s bed, Merlin does the only thing he can — he grabs his clothes and runs.
He barely makes it to Gaius’s chambers, disheveled and panicked, only to find the old man already holding the book Merlin now realizes — far too late — he mistranslated.
And in that moment, it hits him. There is no undoing this.“Merlin,” Gaius says, voice low “pack your things. Go as far away as you can."
“You’re carrying His Majesty’s child.”Or
Arthur was being too much, and Merlin—a clumsy fool—mistranslated an ancient text and brewed a potion meant to calm His Majesty, only to end up pregnant with the king’s child instead.

Summary
Arthur always told Merlin he was a girl; he just didn't expect to wake up one morning and find out it was actually true. Now Merlin is stuck being a "Lady" while Arthur tries to woo his own manservant. It’s ridiculous, it’s magical, and it’s about to get very complicated.
“I am not a Lady!” Merlin yelled. Arthur only smiled. “Exquisite. Even her anger is... noble.”

Summary
He couldn’t go to Camelot after— after Arthur. They wouldn’t blame him, of course they wouldn’t blame him. He blamed himself, though. It had been his job to protect Arthur, to bring about Albion and the Once and Future King. It had been his job and he had screwed it up.
Despite what he may wish, Merlin must go back to Camelot to collect Arthur’s knights as they die. After all, they’ll be needed when the Once and Future King rises once more.

“Okay, so let me get this straight,” Arthur said, resisting the urge to bury his face in his hands and scream until the world made sense again. “We’ve all been reborn over a thousand years after our deaths, met one another, seemingly by chance, then all regained our memories on the same day, while wandering around a museum exhibit on our previous lives. Did I miss anything?”
