Summary
What Arthur knows: Merlin, his clumsy and foolish servant, is actually quite smart. He’s also loyal, and brave, and in many ways the reason Arthur has so many good people in his life.
The goal: Make Merlin realize how important he is to Arthur, no matter how stubborn he's clearly chosing to be about it.
What Arthur does not know, yet: Merlin has magic. Also they're very slightly a little bit in love.
It's going to take them a while to figure it all out. Meanwhile the knights have known for ages, Gwen figures it out pretty quick, and pretty much all of Camelot has also known ever since that weird peasant stumbled through the gates and challenged the Prince all those years ago.

Summary
A sorcerer burns at the Pyre.
And as always, Arthur can only watch. He had long closed his heart from such sights.
What breaks his heart is seeing the people he loves hurt from such moments. Such as Merlin.
But there is more to the boy than Arthur thinks. And soon he sees the entire day unfold once more.
This time - from a different perspective.EDIT:

Summary
Based on a tumblr post:
"achillesuwuFollow
Me thinking that it would be really funny (why nearly all of my most begin like that —) if Freya comes to Camelot as a Druid/magical representative and Arthur, the Knights and Gwen know 3 things about her
1. She is married
2. She is really powerful and can kick your ass
3. If she isn't in an ass-kicking mood her very very very powerful immortal husband will handle the ass kicking
They absolutely do not know about Freylin and they all are sweating buckets when they see Merlin successfully flirting with her at the welcoming feast.
( Meanwhile Merlin and Freya enjoying some role-play : so~ my name is merlin 🥰 Oh, nice to meet you, I'm Freya.🥰)
Basically the Knights, Gwen, Arthur (and even maybe Gaius for extra fun) trying VERY hard to stop Merlin and failling miserably "

Summary
Based on this: (my post, but I altered it a bit)
Arthur is granted a wish.After years of obliviousness, Arthur has grown an awareness for how blind he is, so he wishes to be able to see people for who they really are.
That's how he begins to see people dressed differently than before. He sees servants dressed like people of the court, he sees closeted people finally representing as themselves, he sees his wife with an eternal crown over her head.
And then he sees a man walking into his rooms. His face held high, his eyes golden. His face and hands are scarred all over and Arthur knows it's emotional scars. But the man glows, his clothes that worthy of a king, no. A god.
Only when the man opens his mouth and pulls away the curtains, does it dawn on Arthur whose in front of him.
"Rise and shine :D"

Summary
Vaguely based on this:
It's not Arthur's fault, he thinks. How could he have known they were waltzing into the territory of gods? Sure, if he had listened to Merlin... But since when did Arthur ever listen to Merlin? He regretted that now.
"Only gods may enter"
Merlin sighs and draws attention to himself. "Well, I guess this is it."
Merlin shrugs, then turns to the impeccable door. As if to test it, he touches the wood. His hand goes through. "Shit", Merlin mutters, but doesn't look surprised. A second later, he's gone.
Arthur doesn't realize that he tried to stop him until his own hand collides with the hard wood of the door that swallowed his servant. Arthur's eyes are stuck to the sign. Slowly, very slowly, his mind connects the dots.

Summary
Aithusa is captured by King Sarrum. In order to make sure the dragon is secure and the realm therefore safe, Arthur gathers a delegation to visit the Kingdom Amata. Merlin, however, breaks as he sees the state his daughter is in. And suddenly, secrets are no longer relevant.
Excerpt:
His teary eyes scanned all over her body, finding it worse than what Sarrum had described. Her claws were twitching and bleeding on the dirty ground. There was no water in sight and she looked thirsty while her eyes looked milky and unseeing. Yet, she seemed to recognise him somehow. For a moment, her gaze cleared and she nuzzled her forehead against Merlin’s. Cuts among her side, red coloring her white scaled bloody.“Merlin, what the hell are you doing! Come back here! NOW! It will eat you!”
But Merlin’s glare found only Sarrum’s who seemed more confused than anything. And that look, that innocence feigning, pleased expression, blinded Merlin with pure, unaltered rage. “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER!”

Summary
It started after the death of Uther, the possessiveness.
Maybe it’d always been there to some degree. Merlin blamed it on their destiny, the unbreakable umbilical cord that tied them together even when they physically existed on opposite ends of the kingdom.
After Uther’s death, though, the cord tightened on Arthur’s end and Merlin went willingly.

Summary
Arthur was going to die here.
He had already made his peace with that fact. There was no one who could save him now — Uther had laid the groundwork, and following blindly in his father’s footsteps, Arthur himself had all but ensured it.
“If only there were a sorcerer alive who didn’t hate you, my king."
When Arthur is captured in another plot to overthrow Camelot and kept in a place barred to any except the most powerful of sorcerers, he faces his certain demise with grim determination. Though he doesn't know it, there is only one person who may yet be able to save him.

Summary
It was over. Arthur was here. The Lamia was slain. Gwen was alright. The knights would be back to normal. It was over.
Able to relax for the first time in days, he let his knees buckle and his back slide down the wall. He hit the ground, and his vision turned to mist.
Merlin didn't make it out of his encounter with the Lamia unscathed, or so Arthur thinks when he slays the beast and finds Merlin slumped against the wall and bleeding. When he learns the true source of Merlin's injuries he is furious. He does his best to push that anger away though, because being there for Merlin matters far more right now.
or
The Lamia episode but Merthur, and the knights actually injured Merlin.

Where there is grief, there are things to be said. Sometimes there's no one to say them to. Sometimes they go unsaid, but the silence doesn't mean that they aren't waiting.

Arthur wasn't meant to see Merlin's magic in the last moments of battle, but he did.
Merlin wasn't meant to take the arrow fired at Arthur, but he did.
Maybe they can find the truth in all of it. Maybe not.
