    Summary

    Arthur has known about Merlin's magic for quite some time, but Merlin didn't know this. Arthur was going to tell him he knew, though, because he couldn't take it anymore, watching as Merlin threw himself into danger without help at every single opportunity.

    However, plans get scattered when Merlin hits his head pretty hard...and cannot remember the names of these two handsome men staring at him with concern.

    Summary

    Once Kilgharrah is freed, it's up to Merlin and Arthur to stop his attack on Camelot. Arthur plans to fight the dragon with his knights, but when Merlin goes with him, Arthur witnesses Merlin control the dragon. Arthur soon confronts Merlin about his secret and as magical secrets are revealed, emotional ones are too.

    It seems destiny has greater plans for them than just uniting Albion. It looks like love is in the cards too.

    Summary

    As Court Sorcerer, Merlin has to go with Gwaine on a diplomatic mission that will see him spend three months meeting with druids and queens. Three long months away from Camelot. Three long months away from Arthur.

    Fortunately, being a sorcerer has its perks. And thanks to a certain magical crystal, he and Arthur are able to stay in touch for those three months, managing to stay close despite being apart.

    OR:

    Merlin and Arthur miss each other for three months and decide they never want to be apart again.

    Summary

    Arthur knows Merlin has a secret, but he doesn't know what it is.

    ***

     

    Merlin’s expression changes. It’s like stepping into water expecting it to be a puddle and ending up in the ocean. Arthur suddenly can’t breathe. Because Merlin’s looking at him the same way he looked at Agravaine. As though they are on opposite sides of a chess board, and capturing the king ends in death.

    Summary

    The dragon leaned forward. "Your destiny is to protect Uther Pendragon's heir, the one who will be the Once and Future King and unite all of Albion."

    Merlin blinked. "But . . . Uther doesn't have an heir."

    . . .

    In many Arthurian texts, Arthur is raised as a peasant by Sir Ector with no knowledge of his royal lineage. Let's bring that back, shall we?

    Summary

    Everyone he trusted with his secret – Will, Freya, Balinor, Lancelot, and now Gaius – was gone. Arthur would never bring magic back to the land, and he would never let Merlin stand at his side the way Merlin had hoped he would. It was a cold awakening, years of baseless faith dashed against the fraying tapestry that destiny had made Merlin sew into his own skin, but an awakening nonetheless.

    Merlin is shaken out of his obsession with destiny and his blind faith in Arthur. Arthur just wishes he knew how to get his closest friend back.

    Summary

    When Merlin comes to work with a black eye and a fist-shaped purple bruise across his left cheek, Arthur goes into instant protective mode.

    Leaping out of bed the second he spots Merlin’s face, he stops in front of Merlin and crosses his arms.

    “What the hell?” Merlin squawks, obviously startled by Arthur’s abnormally fast awakening.

    “Yes, precisely,” Arthur agrees. “What the hell, Merlin? Who did this?”

     

    What if Merlin was roughed up by Dagr and his minion a little more than in canon? What if Arthur did something before Gwaine could get himself and Merlin into trouble?

    Summary

    "You feel… all that?" Arthur's voice whispered, as if afraid that speaking would interrupt the flow of this between them. He gripped Merlin's hand a bit tighter and glanced down at the swirl of gold and blue enveloping them.

    Summary

    In the context of their lives, Merlin was the least of anyone’s worries.

    But Arthur knew there was more. He could feel it. It dawned on him one afternoon that Merlin, though an aggravatingly open book at times, revealed startlingly little about himself.

    How much did he really know about Merlin?

    Summary

    “Your prowess at the healing arts is also so awe-inspiring,” Merlin said, “what do those smoked herbs do?”

    In the corner one of the druids started coughing.

    “Uhh,” the cloaked figure in front of him finished the bandage, “they, well…” 

    A druid from the corner chipped in, “Relax ya!”

    “Yeah, relax!” the other agreed quickly. “You gotta let you’re uh -muscles- rest sometimes.”

    They looked to the druids in the corner with a weird expression. Merlin supposed they were communicating with their minds.

    “So wise,” Merlin nodded sagely, “just like Gaius told me.”


    Or: What my mind comes up with at midnight after binging BBC Merlin and the only coherent thought I can have is, "They're All So Stupid." Everyone is both 100 times smarter and 100 time dumber than they are in canon. Basically a compilation of short, cracky scenarios set in different seasons of Merlin that are somehow completely unconnected, but all happening in the same universe.

    Summary

    After witnessing Merlin use magic during Arthur’s fight with Valiant, Arthur is shocked to see how obvious Merlin is with his magic over the next few months. Even more shocking, Merlin thinks that Arthur somehow doesn't know.


    Or the one where Merlin is oblivious to the fact that Arthur knows about his magic.

    Summary

    One moment, there are soft lips pressing against his, and the next Arthur is blinking, shaking off the fog, feeling as if he’s been asleep for a long time and awakening to see—

    Merlin, Gwen, and Morgana. Two of them giggling. Morgana smirking.
