Summary
Merlin has magic,” Uther’s words hit Merlin like a ton of bricks, the spirit disappearing as if it was never there.
Merlin closes his eyes, letting out the breath he’s been holding. He feels his back hit the door behind him, holding himself up against it. He doesn’t look at Arthur, just waits.
One breath, two breath, three breath. Nothing.
Merlin opens his eyes, looking up, half expecting Arthur to have disappeared to alert the guards. Arthur is staring at him, he is stock skill, breath coming out ragged and uneven. He looks crushed and not just from expelling his father’s spirit but that must also have contributed to it.
“Arthur,” Merlin tries, swallowing when his voice shakes with the anticipation of Arthur’s reaction.
“Is it true?” Arthur asks, his voice quiet but stern, he still holds the horn tightly in his grip by his side, his knuckles white with the force.
“Arthur I-“
“Yes or no, Merlin,” Arthur interrupts, voice suddenly louder in the empty corridor, he looks Merlin in the eye while he nods wordlessly before looking away, “you-you do. You would betray me? You?”
---
In which Arthur find out from spirit Uther about Merlin's magic. -

Summary
Merlin doesn't want Arthur to die. Not at Camlann, not in his lifetime, not if he can prevent it. He knows what Mordred will do. Knows that as soon as Kara refused to withdraw her support of Morgana, that her death would send the young Druid-turned-Knight, straight to the High Priestess. So he makes a decision. If he must sacrifice his life, he will do so with a clear mind and conscience.
He talks with Arthur and Gwen.
He talks to Gwaine.
Then he meets the Disir and chooses his path.
It is time he chose a side.

Summary
Merlin has a habit of keeping Arthur out of trouble, without the prince noticing of course. But when it's the warlock's turn to keep himself from harm's way he's not as on top of things as he'd like to believe, leaving the task up to those closest to him. A series of connected short stories featuring our favorites from Camelot and their mission to keep one selfless sorcerer safe.

Summary
When a bad morning encourages Arthur to take a quick ride to clear his head before meeting his royal guests, he returns to find someone else, his servant, has already greeted them. And he did it while pretending to the be the king.
------The knights both moved to barricade the door with their bodies. "I'm afraid we can't let you do that," Elyan told him.
Arthur sighed. "Why not?"
"Because you've already met them," Gwaine blurted out without giving Elyan any time to prepare for the potential ramifications, mainly death, that could follow after Arthur found out how they'd spent their morning.
"What are you talking about?" Arthur asked wearily.
"Well, sire, see it's like this...We realized you wouldn't be back in time before they rode in so Merlin put on your royal robes and met the King and Queen while claiming to be you that way they wouldn't get mad about you being late and now he's preparing a tour of the castle and you can't leave your room because then they'd know we were all lying to them and there would be absolutely no possibility of ever having a civilized treaty with them," he inhaled, catching his breath. "Simple, really. No need to get upset or anything."

Summary
A series of oneshots written for every episode of BBC Merlin as I rewatch it. This series has been on hiatus for more than a year so I'm happy to announce that it no longer is! I will however not post regularly, except for probably these last few months of 2022 because it's the 10th anniversary since s5 aired and I'll most likely be rewatching it and probably writing fics for it too. (And yes, that means I'm skipping the rest of s2, s3 and s4, but I'll get back to them later.) I haven't seen s5 since it aired, but I think a decade of waiting has been enough, so let's celebrate the anniversary :D

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.
