Summary
He stared out at the bright blue sky, the townspeople that passed him by, the almost pearly white walls of the Citadel and took a breath in. He actually did it, he made his way back home! Now Merlin just needs to keep everyone he cares about alive.
Sounds easier than time travel.
~
A fic where Immortal!Merlin waits for Arthur to come back until the world almost comes to an end and all magic has left the world (and entered Merlin). He decided since Arthur was so rude to not come back, he'd have to go back the prat himself. What could go wrong?

Summary
He whipped his head back to Merlin so fast his neck burned, watching as the boy’s eyes faded from shimmering gold, one hand extended in the air.
The world seemed to slow, shock and anger reverberating through Arthur’s core. He could do nothing but stare, and Merlin stared back, fear, guilt, and something unreadable in his expression.
Then, there was a whizzing cut through the air, one that left Arthur’s ears ringing. He watched – helpless, the anger punched out of him – as the arrow buried itself in Merlin’s side.

Summary
Tom the Blacksmith gets so much more than he bargained for when he decides to adopt the baby he finds floating down the river in a basket. Eighteen years later, Merlin has grown into quite the proficient swordsman-- and quite the powerful sorcerer. When Crown Prince Arthur Pendragon convinces his father to hold an open melee with a knighthood as the prize, Merlin, his brother Elyan, and a ragtag group of commoners decide to enter. They soon discover that there is much more at play in the tournament than stuck-up knights and a contemptuous king. As Arthur becomes smitten with Merlin-- whose skill with a sword is unparalleled-- he discovers that there is so much more to this strange, mouthy blacksmith's son than he had initially imagined.

Summary
"It's been an honor."
Merlin tilted his head in recognition. "Likewise."
He wasn't lying. Respectful assassins were hard to come by.
or
When sorcerers make an attempt on the King's life, Merlin is forced to reveal his magic. Fluffy Shenanigans ensure. In which Arthur's a sweet-heart, Gwaine's shameless, Lancelot's downright amazing, Morgana is a mood, and Merlin has a degree in dying for Arthur.
or
Arthur having a gay epiphany. Pure fluff. Shoddy Morgana redemption arc.

Summary
Merlin may not know much, but he knows not to believe any old prophecy a dragon tells him, especially without proof. He came to Camelot to determine his own fate, not to blindly follow his supposed destiny.
He even turns down King Uther's offer to work as a servant for the insufferable Prince Arthur, but they just can't seem to stop crossing paths.
The last thing Merlin wanted while he was on his hands and knees with his head in a bush, searching for the elusive snake, was to hear Arthur's pompous voice from behind him.
"What are you doing?" scoffed the prince.
"You haven't seen a snake around here, by any chance?" asked Merlin, extracting himself from the bush with difficulty and sitting back on his heels.
"I'm sorry, one of my knights is in need of medical attention, and the physician's assistant is searching for a new pet?"

Summary
Merlin had been given a choice.
Admitting the truth about what Morgause had said, admitting that Uther was indeed responsible for the Purge and Ygraine's death would have meant freedom for Merlin and for all those who had magic.
But Arthur would suffer.
Lying about the truth, lying about what Uther had done, once again covering the king from the consequences of his own actions… it would have spared Arthur the pain of losing another parent. It would save Uther, a man who had never had compassion for anything or anyone, once again.
It would make Arthur hate magic once and for all.
Make Arthur hate Merlin, the profound nature of what Merlin was, forever.

Summary
Set after 5x02 and then deviates from there.
Intent on protecting King Arthur from his prophesied death at the hands of Mordred, Merlin is entirely distrusting of the new Knight of Camelot. After discovering a secret meeting between Mordred, Morgana, and a mysterious woman Merlin has never seen before, his deepest fear is realized when he is forced to reveal his magic in an attempt to protect Arthur and Guinevere from a deadly assassination plot at the hands of Morgana. With Merlin’s most guarded secret revealed, will Mordred succeed in fulfilling his destiny? Or will Merlin be able to stop him?
~"I do not think Mordred is the one lying to me, Merlin," Arthur said through clenched teeth. "You used magic. You used magic against a knight of Camelot. Not Morgana. What am I to make of that?"
And Merlin saw how Arthur saw it. He saw how it looked. He shook his head helplessly because he also saw one other thing: Arthur wasn't going to believe him. He had attacked a knight of Camelot. With magic. Arthur and Gwen had seen. And Mordred, though he was the true traitor, had not done anything to suggest that he was. Mordred looked completely innocent. And Merlin looked very much guilty.

Summary
For the first time in years, he felt more like a servant than a friend, and after all they went through together, Merlin couldn’t deny that it hurt. Of course, Arthur would want to spend some time alone with Gwen, that was normal, but Merlin felt like Arthur didn’t need him around as a friend anymore. Like he had been replaced. They used to talk in the morning, after the King had finally got out of bed after much grumbling. Arthur would tell him about his worries, he would complain about insufferable Lords and ask Merlin’s advice for how to solve a dispute or how to change a policy. Of course, he always pretended that he wasn’t taking Merlin’s opinion into account, that a servant didn’t have the wit or the knowledge to adequately understand a complex situation. But Merlin knew that Arthur always listened to him and that he valued his input. But now, he dismissed Merlin as soon as the servant had brought up his breakfast, claiming that he and Gwen could dress alone. Merlin missed dressing Arthur, making sure his hair looked good and fastening his armour.

Summary
Arthur watches Merlin closely. He’s stiff and rigid pressed against the far wall and it takes the king only a moment to realize Merlin isn’t readying himself for a fight—he’s terrified.
“Please don’t be afraid.” Don’t be afraid of me.
xXx
Arthur finds out about Merlin’s magic. He handles it about as well as you’d expect.

Summary
Based off of the prompt: 5 times Arthur almost catches Merlin using his magic and one time he does.
Merlin's absolutely driving himself crazy cause he just knows Arthur's figured out that he's not actually going to the tavern. For some reason, Gwaine finds this absolutely hilarious and is absolutely no help at all.
He's doomed.
Dedicated to my favorite and awesomest cousin, who's super super brave and the strongest person I know 💕
