    Summary

    Merlin's position as Arthur's manservant has become more widely known...it was only a matter of time until this became a problem.

    Merlin swallows, hands curling into fists. The chains wrapped around his wrists squeeze as his muscles flex. Fresh blood leaks where the metal loops dig into his skin, running down his arms where they’re hung over his head. He shifts, trying to alleviate the pressure, but his toes just manage to scuff the ground.

    "He won’t come for me."

    Yah. It's the fic where Merlin get's kidnapped because Arthur's a prince and everyone has to deal with the repercussions.

    Summary

    Merlin didn't mean to become the Spymaster of Camelot, honest.

    It just kinda…happened.

    It's not Merlin's fault that when the Purge happened, the previous Spymaster was a known (but not very powerful) sorcerer, and was also young enough to have not yet taken on and trained a successor. In all the chaos, Uther had had to be much less discerning about choosing the man's replacement, and his focus was, and continues to be, locating ‘evil sorcerers’ rather than literally anything else.

    In the end, Merlin was the perfect storm of charisma, power, knowledge, connections, and skill.

    “And yet, Arthur’s socks are still ranked among my top three worst smells ever smelt.” Merlin scrunched his nose, thoughtfully...

    Summary

    "Since our job's done here, let's go set something on fire, Merlin."

    "Uh, maybe not set something on fire?" Gwen quickly interrupted with a frown.

    "I'm on Gwen with this one," Merlin said apologetically.

    "But Merlin! We haven't set anything on fire this past two weeks!"

    Merlin winced. "Actually… Lancelot and I already set something on fire."

    Gwaine pouted with resentment. "Oh, sorry. I should have known that you preferred Lancelot over me."

    "I don't! I like you both equally!"

    Gwaine turned away from him, crossing his arms.

    Merlin shared an exasperated look with Gwen. "Look," Merlin said. "We didn't actually mean to set anything on fire. So you really can't base your statement over that."

    Gwaine turned back to him with glee. "So does that mean you still haven't intentionally set anything else on fire after we burned that old lord's whole underwear drawer two weeks ago?"

    "I suppose so."

    Gwaine snapped his fingers. "That's it. We're going to set something on fire."

    Summary

    The storm that had passed through Albion didn't only bring devastation to Camelot.

    It also brought a party belonging to the king, queen and princess of a distant land on the edge of Albion's maps. As per propriety and courtesy, the king of Camelot was required to hold a feast and provide accommodation for them. The feast started off smoothly, the royals of Camelot getting along quite well with the royals from Harden.

    But a single question changed everything. Including the destiny and future of Arthur and Merlin.

    "And what are your stances on magic?" Uther asked.

    It took all Merlin had not to tense up.

    Summary

    “Nothing it’s just,” Merlin shrugged. “You’re in the process of overturning the ban on magic, some of the kingdoms have made you their enemy, some have allied with others. We’re not sure who stands on our side in the fight for magic. I’m just... concerned some might try and take it out on you during the tournament.”

    “Well, I won’t need to worry, not with an all powerful warlock watching over me.” Arthur said confidently and Merlin gives him a toothy grin. “Though, if you’re that concerned... you could always, you know.... Give me your favour.”

    ~~~

    Merlin insists on helping Arthur into his armour for a tournament, just to make sure everything is secure and his King is protected.

    Arthur asks Merlin to give him his favour, just in case.

    Summary

    In the dead of night, Mithian and her elderly maid arrive in Camelot after an attack on their kingdom. However, not everything is as it seems. Will Merlin be able to figure it out and warn everyone of the danger before it's too late?

    SNEAK PEAK: In the heat of the realization, Merlin stood up, abandoning the waterskin and his cane, momentarily forgetting that he needed it, adrenaline clouding his judgment. He stumbled a few steps as he yelled out, "ARTHUR!"

    Before he had a chance to say or do anything else, he found himself flying through the air toward a nearby tree. He felt his head connect with one of the roots that was sticking out of the ground. The warlock quickly ignored the pain and turned around. Before he could even think of a spell to cast, Morgana's magic was choking him.

    Morgana glared at the meddling fool. He wasn't going to stop her this time. This time she would come out on top. Nothing and no one was going to get in her way.

    In the haze of his pain and inability to breathe, he tried to move the invisible hand that was choking him. After several more seconds, he lost consciousness. The last thing he heard was Arthur calling his name.

    Summary

    People [are] hiding everywhere; stand still as a stone...

    Merlin has imagined telling Arthur his secret. He's thought about it countless times, hundreds upon hundreds. Thought about his fate, his destiny to serve Arthur as the Once and Future King.

    But he's never imagined this. Never thought this would happen, never thought he would take such a step.

    And now he is certain that his end has come.

    (Or, Merlin plans or rather decides spur of the moment to reveal his magic and - if necessary - die trying. Because how can he be completely, utterly certain that he is immortal, Kilgharrah? And how can he truly serve Arthur if he forever conceals an integral part of himself?)

    Summary

    In which many strange creatures begin to show up in the woods outside of Camelot, and Merlin finds several more reasons to hate hunting.

    Starts up after Arthur becomes Prince Regent, but before the events of 4x01.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    “Gaius,” Merlin started to ask, a bit hesitantly, when he finally reached the tower, late that evening. “What all do you know about faeries?”

    Gaius dropped a half-finished potion, turned several fascinating shades of red and pink before moving on to near-purple, and yelled at Merlin for being irreparably foolish for quite a long while before Merlin was able to get a word in edgewise and was allowed to tell him anything more about the afternoon.

    Summary

    Starting from childhood, Merlin and Arthur keep meeting at the most inopportune moments. despite the bad timing, the two become close friends. So close, in fact, that when Camelot is in grave danger, Arthur cannot think of anyone else to turn to, for this reason alone: Merlin is not just a warlock. Merlin is a necromancer, and Arthur knows this.
