Summary
Merlin felt it rush past him, and then Arthur was on the ground, clawing at his throat as he gasped for air.
In the blink of an eye, Merlin’s magic tore through Sigan’s spell. Coughing, Arthur doubled over, only just catching himself on his hands, while Merlin wrestled his magic back under control.
Withstanding the urge to rush to Arthur’s side, Merlin glared at Sigan. “You will not harm him.”Ever since he defeated Nimueh, Merlin's magic is getting harder and harder to keep in check; especially when it comes to protecting Arthur. After his magic is revealed during Sigan's attack on Camelot, things are beyond tense between the two of them — and as the tension grows, Merlin's control is slipping.

Summary
"Having been near you all these years, I am not unaware of the goings on of court, or the way you nobles like to do things.” He gives a half smile at that but doesn’t convince himself of his own humor, “I also know… that when a new king comes to power, he inherits his predecessor’s information network. His spies.”
Arthur leans back, folding his arms and narrowing his eyes, “That’s true, Merlin. I’ve been expecting whomever my father’s last spymaster was to come to me for days now. Do you know who it is?”
Don’t fidget. Don’t shift your weight. Goddess take you, Merlin, stand still. He clears his throat, “It was Gaius for a long time.”
The young king relaxes an imperceptible amount, and nods, “He’d have access to everyone, from villager to noble, and friendly relationships with most. Who is it now?”
Merlin stares at him, then spreads his palms helplessly, “Me.”
Merlin is Camelot’s spymaster and must reveal himself as such to Arthur when he becomes king.

Summary
“Because you’re a great sorcerer?” There was no derision in Arthur’s voice this time, just something that sounded an awful lot like panic as Merlin reached forward.
“No, sire,” Merlin said, glancing up at Arthur again. He knew, from the way that he could feel the magic in his blood, that his eyes were gold. “I’m the greatest.”

Summary
Merlin would have expected his magic would be revealed in some epic life or death scenario.
Not for something so mundane.“You know what. Yes. I do confess I have magic.”, Merlin said. And suddenly the room was silent. Honestly, why were they surprised? He was just condemned to death for sorcery.[...]
"No. Gaius didn't know.. [....] In fact, I've been very careful hiding my secret from all of you. [...]
Which is why this is the stupidest thing I have EVER heard!”, Merlin shook of the knights hand, as he stepped forward to the king. Like a mad man. To be fair, he was a little mad.“Burned... for heating tea.”, Merlin shook his head.
[...] "How fucked up is that?!"Alternatively: what if Merlin was actually condemned to be executed but just decided to -not let them do that.

Summary
If he had to describe himself, Flambae would need three words, and three words alone:
Hot, strong, heroic. Two of these were objective.
If he had to tell the truth?
Chad exists in pieces. Most of them not good. But trying their best not to be worse.
They certainly wouldn’t be good enough for Mecha Man.
Which makes every news outlet in Torrance deciding he and Robert must be fucking all that more confusing.
Or,
Everyone in Torrance thinks Flambae and Mecha Man are dating. Robert has no issues with that.
