Summary
The world is falling into winter. Camelot is falling into war. Arthur will do anything he can to keep his kingdom safe, and he will use whatever weapons are at hand - but, to his horror, his decisions turn out to have severe consequences for Merlin. Naturally, Arthur decides that it is his duty to protect his loyal servant from the shocking truth...
“Let me see if I’ve got this straight,” Lancelot said, beginning to grin. “You want to teach Merlin to use magic – without letting him notice that he’s using magic?”
“He must not find out. If he finds out he has magic, he’ll – why are you laughing? This is no laughing matter, Lancelot!”
Set soon after Season 3.

Summary
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.

Summary
After Arthur disobeyed his father and retrieved the Mortaeus flower for Merlin's cure, Arthur's frantic pleading to save Merlin led to a misunderstanding that actually convinced Uther to take the flower to Gaius.
Now all Arthur has to do is explain to Merlin why Uther thinks they are lovers.
And while Uther is supportive of the relationship, he requires it kept secret. But in his paranoia, Uther misinterprets every innocent interaction between the two as something far more intimate, to the embarrassment of everyone involved.
And then the knights begin showing up...

Summary
Four days ago Merlin had been having a rough night after a rough few months, and had finally admitted to Arthur what he'd come, grudgingly, to accept about himself -- that he was fairly far along the asexual spectrum. Which meant, he'd told his best friend, staring fixedly at the table with his eyes burning, that he'd probably never find someone who could overlook that enough to want to be with him.
Arthur had told him that he was an idiot, and there were tons of people who didn't care much about sex and would be happy in a relationship without it, and if he'd known that was why Merlin never flirted with him he'd have asked him out years ago.
A series of mini moments inspired by Fluffcember 2023.
