Summary
Ravening (adj.)
(of a ferocious wild animal) extremely hungry and hunting for prey.
---
Danger faded from the forest after it fled. Swords were lowered, shoulders releasing the tension. Even the air was easier to breathe.
Yet, though Percival knew not why, he didn't feel comforted by the outward lack of threat. There was something in the pit of his stomach. He felt like eyes were constantly trained on the back of his head, and his heart was still thumping long after they'd saddled their horses and departed.

Summary
“How can I ask this of you?” Merlin whispered, “I was meant to bring peace to Albion, not destroy it. I’m no good if you get hurt.”
The king took his court sorcerer’s hands. They were trembling, frail things like little fledglings, and he gripped tight and didn’t let go, “Merlin. Camelot fights for what is right. Once magic was reinstated, I pledged to be an ally to you and your kind. I, and this kingdom, would be a disgrace to that promise if I did nothing now.”
Merlin gazed at him so desperately. Arthur didn’t know what to do with it. Merlin was always so strong, usually being the one to comfort Arthur. He was his best advisor, and his closest confidant, and he’d never seen him so anguished.
***
The golden age of Albion was here, or so Merlin thought. After learning of sorcerers in the hundreds being captured and enslaved by a neighbouring kingdom, Merlin felt more useless than ever. What use is Emrys if he can't protect his people? He had to act, but he couldn't bring Camelot into it; the risk was too high. Unfortunately, his friends didn't see eye to eye with him on that, and insisted on fighting with him. Would they come out victorious?
Would they survive at all?

Summary
A druid hits Arthur with a spell to bring out his true nature, believing he's fooled everyone, but especially Emrys, into thinking he's better than he actually is.
The effects of this rather surprise her.

Summary
Merlin has been waiting centuries for the return of his King, but he’s getting restless. What’s a better way to spend his time than painting Camelot and its people? The only thing is: Merlin can’t seem to remember anyone’s faces. A few surprise reincarnations might be able to help him with that.
(AKA The Knights Return and Merlin is having his scheduled mental breakdown of the century. Also, where the fuck is Arthur???)

Five Times Arthur And The Knights Accidentally Broke Merlin And The One Time He Let Them Fix Him by orphan_account for KaitoKidCow
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
02 Feb 2020

Summary
Knife. Table. Throat.
Instantly alert, adrenaline flooding through him, Arthur’s body automatically moved in time with his thoughts, his hand fisting around the handle of the knife before his mind registered that the intruder was talking.
“Arthur, stop- it’s me, it’s Percival-” Arthur’s mind registered the voice and he dropped the knife, thankfully before he reached phase three. He bolted upright as Percival’s hands fell off his shoulders, leaving him only able to guess where his knight was in the dark.
“Percival- what’re you doing here?” He flung off the covers and swung his feet over the edge, the panicked adrenaline slowly ebbing from his veins, leaving him with only a clear head. He reached for the scarlet shirt on the bedside table. Percival wouldn’t have woken him unless it was important.
“We weren’t sure what else to do, Sire, it’s Merlin.”
Important, indeed.
Or, the five times Arthur and his knights try to help Merlin and the one time Merlin realizes he deserves help too.

Summary
A year into the golden age, Arthur finds out about Merlin's magic. The disappointment he has in Merlin for keeping such a secret from him even after there was no risk to his safety causes a rift in their relationship that seems unmendable.
He cannot ignore Merlin, however, because the kingdom is in danger, and there's only one thing that can save it:
Arthur needs to get to know magic, inside and out.
For the Merlin bingo square: Telepathy.

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) .

Summary
Merlin lives alone - if what he’s doing can really be called living. He sleeps, he eats, he whittles. Sometimes he dreams, but he wish he wouldn’t, especially when the line between dreams and the waking world starts to blur.
This isn’t how Merlin wanted to be found by a miraculously returned Arthur, but this is his reality.

Summary
It was stupid. Merlin had faced countless dangers in his short time with Arthur. He’d faced enchantresses. He’d faced evil knights with magic shields. He marched alongside Arthur on every dangerous adventure, equipped with nothing more than the clothes on his back and his magic. He’d been burned, beaten, threatened, starved, and pelted with rotten fruit. He survived every single day in Uther’s anti-magical regime, every day risking discovery and death.
So why couldn’t he drink one stupid goblet of wine?Or:
Merlin has anxiety, and Arthur is there for him. -
