Summary
“You know my husband well.” Arthur smiled. He should've known this was the case.
Merlin had this tendency to…adopt, for lack of word, young boys who were lost in life.
That’s what had happened to Mordred a few years back. And with another boy called Daegel, who Arthur still didn’t really know where he came from. But one day, he was there, and Merlin decided he was to stay.
Now there were these two orphan boys, young and curious — of course, Merlin would take to them like a duck to water.

Summary
Merlin reveals his magic in the battle against Morgana and Helios.
He wakes up in the prison cell next to Morgana’s.
This is actually not the worst thing that could happen to them— or to Camelot.
…
“State secret,” Morgana said bitterly. “Uther probably killed the sorcerer who did it, but these dungeons were charmed to make sure no one could use their magic down here.”
“The perfect place to store Emrys and the last High Priestess of the Old Religion,” Merlin said wryly.
Morgana gave him a strange look, and Merlin shrugged. He didn’t really understand it either.

Merlin startles as Arthur clears his throat.
The prince is standing over him, all practice sweaty, helmet by his hip. And a scowl across his gorgeous face. As usual.
“Merlin, do stop staring. Did you wish me to bed you or something?” He jokes.
Merlin feels his eyes fly wide.
“No!” He lies. Loudly.

Summary
“Merlin, I'm the greatest swordsman in the five kingdoms.” Arthur boasted. “I’ve fought more battles than I can count.”
”I’m aware, sire.”
”And I’ve always survived.”
”Not always.” Merlin muttered.
---
The day Arthur dies is the day Merlin refuses to let end. Again. And again. And again. Merlin’s stuck in a spiral—a dizzying, cruel dance of death and reset. With each attempt, his heart grows heavier, his magic darker, until all he can do is break.
And when the shards of his despair drag Arthur into the storm, the past and present shatter, leaving nothing but raw truth and fragile hope.
Now there's no more running. Just the two of them, the end of the world, and everything left unsaid.

Summary
As a prince and then a king, there have been certain expectations of Arthur. A king is expected to be a leader, to be experienced, both on the battlefield and in the bedroom. As Arthur has grown from a prince into a king, he has done what his knights, his soldiers, even the other nobles expect of him. But he has never truly enjoyed it.
When Arthur lets it slip to Merlin that he doesn’t actually believe most sexual acts to be enjoyable, Merlin takes it upon himself to prove Arthur wrong. What follows for Arthur is the realisation that he is in fact attracted to men, sex in fact can be good and he does in fact have a submissive side.

Summary
Eventually, Arthur had enough. “Come on, Merlin. Whatever it is must be important, and you’re clearly -” Arthur waved his hand impatiently in Merlin’s general direction, “- trying to find the right moment. Well, this is me telling you, this is the right moment. Go ahead.”
Merlin looked to the side. “You’re mistaken, Sire.” Then, half a beat too late for their usual bickering, he added: “As usual.”
“See, Merlin, I don’t think I am.” Arthur leaned back in his chair. “The only question is what it could be, that makes you want to tell me but not want to tell me at the same time.”
Or:
In which Merlin obviously has a secret, and recently crowned King Arthur figures the wrong things out. At least initially. Then, he starts getting frighteningly close to something he, in the end, isn’t sure he wants to know about.

Summary
Arthur’s heart dropped to his feet. “It’s too hard, Gaius. I can’t do it anymore.” Arthur had never heard Merlin in so much pain before. Not when they’ve been attacked or kidnapped or almost killed. But that, it sounded like Merlin was choking on his own cries, on his own tears, and it took everything Arthur had for him to not ram the door open in that moment. “I can’t keep lying to him. I can’t keep doing this to Arthur!”
Merlin and Gaius were always so busy running around the citadel trying to stop assassins and sorcerers and everything else in-between that they often forgot other people were around. Whether it was the fact that their door being closed didn’t suddenly mean no one would ever be able to hear them, or the fact that talking loudly in a hallway wasn’t a secret place, the two of them seemed to give out more of their treason acts than they knew.
With the Guards and Knights of Camelot stumbling across these two men in various stages of illegal activities, just how long can Merlin stay off the pyre and keep his head? And just how long will it be until it’s Arthur himself who overhears one of their conversations about all the ways they break the law?

He’s got a thousand reasons to blast this godsforsaken door off its bloody hinges, and only one, really, to stay.
Arthur.
And bollocks, but that one reason outweighs them all. Always has.
Never mind that it’s Arthur who put him here.

"From now on when you encounter strawberries," Merlin told him, "Give them to me. They're my favourite."
This managed to pull a sweet smile from Gwaine, who melted back into Merlin's waiting arms and kissed his temple in a hurry, before shoving a handful of strawberries into his lap and making a run for it.
Elyan wrestled a guard for his spear and hefted it over his shoulder.
"For Camelot" He screamed, then ran after the rascal.

Summary
In the wake of killing Carleon, Arthur realises that this is not the sort of King he wants to be. So he asks Merlin how he knew about Agravaine, and to his surprise, Merlin gives him an extremely sound and well researched set of arguments, that he promises he has the physical papers to back up.
Or
"And what of me, Merlin? When you are dead." Arthur demanded, eyes pinning him to their proximity. "Do you truly expect me to let go of you long enough for them to lay you to rest?"
Merlin inhaled sharply, for a moment Arthur thought he would protest, insist his life was nothing compared to Arthur's, but Merlin only looked at Arthur, as if he was measuring the depth of his words, the give of his eyes, and Arthur refused to look away, he thought that if he squinted, he could see the stars in Merlin's eyes.

Summary
Someone in the Camelot (Merlin) has rooted out a spy on the council. This anonymous person (who is obviously Merlin) put this accusation into a long letter, full of evidence from a thorough investigation and infiltration of the spy's circle within the staff. Arthur is remarkably impressed with this mystery detective (again, Merlin) and becomes set on uncovering their identity.
Merlin didn't think things would get out of hand. He only wanted to get rid of the spy publicly and legally, so he forewent the magic and decided to conduct a counterintelligence mission for months to gather evidence the old-fashioned way—like anyone would! But suddenly Arthur is searching for him, and magic or not, he learned a long time ago to stay in the shadows.
George is so tired. It is so obvious. King Arthur is disappointingly unobservant, and George cannot take this much longer.
