Summary
In spite of himself, Arthur felt his breathing accelerate and his palms begin to sweat. He had had this nightmare before. He had had this nightmare many times, since he first saw Merlin using magic.
It wasn't real, it couldn't be. It wouldn't happen like this. The sun was shining.

Summary
Merlin was confused, to say the least. When he had told Arthur of his magic, he had half expected him to kill him on the spot or banish him right then and there. He certainly never expected Arthur to speak to him again, let alone look him in the eye as he did now. He felt as through the rug would be pulled out from under him at any moment, that Arthur would reveal it was a trick. But then, he could have killed Merlin right there and Merlin would have been okay. Arthur’s hands were warm on his and his gaze was gentle. Merlin could have died happy there.
Arthur lifted his hand and wiped the dirt from Merlin’s cheek softly.I had a conversation with my friend as to what would have happened if Merlin revealed his magic to Arthur during Sword in the Stone, then of course I had to write it.

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.

A week before the winter solstice, Arthur goes on a quest to kill a beast: a shapeshifter with siren-like abilities.
He makes it clear he does NOT want Merlin to come along, but Merlin's never been very good at doing what he's told...

"Dude, why did the siren take on my image and try to lure you, is there something you want to tell me?" -

Summary
On a hunting trip with all of their friends, Arthur learns that Merlin has kissed everyone there… everyone except him, of course. For reasons he can’t quite explain, this causes Arthur to feel a whirlwind of emotions: shock, confusion, anger, and… jealousy? But that can’t be, can it. No, definitely not.

Summary
Merlin is the perfect boyfriend - sweet, caring, sexy. And he's Arthur's best friend.
When Merlin suddenly announces that he doesn't want to date right now, it's Arthur who benefits from Merlin's newfound spare time. From friendly dinner dates to watching movies to all the little gestures - where does the friendzone end and something else begin?
In hindsight, maybe his best friend kissing him on the kiss-cam at a rugby game should have clued Arthur in?

“He is my husband.” Merlin blurted out loudly.
“Exactly, I’m his..” Wait. Only now did Merlin’s words catch up to him.
“I’m not… what… why…” Arthur began to stutter but Merlin interrupted him hastily again.
“Yes exactly. My husband. As in… we like each other. You know… sexually. We are… ehm… married.” Merlin laughed nervously.or, Arthur (not so) accidently follows Merlin to a secret magic celebration in the forrest. It turns out to be more fun than expected.

'“Is there a problem with what I do with my free time, Sire? I was under the impression I could socialise as I wished.”
“Is that what you call it?” Arthur muttered before he could stop himself.'
Arthur can't figure out why he's so perturbed to discover Merlin has a certain reputation in the castle. He takes it out on everyone, naturally. Gwen and Morgana give him pitying looks and dead legs, respectively, and Merlin ignores him until even he loses patience and demands to know why.

Summary
What starts with Arthur wanting to understand Merlin's incessant ramblings about herbs and the like, ends in him finding a note detailing a prophecy about the union of The Once And Future King and a sorcerer by the name of Emrys.
He supposes it's probably time to lift his father's magic ban if he is to marry a sorcerer.Merlin doesn't know how to break it to Arthur that he's, one, a sorcerer, two, the sorcerer that Arthur is looking for and intends to marry (???), and three, that he's also quite stupidly in love with him and isn't actually all that opposed to the whole marriage thing.

Summary
Arthur finds out about Merlin's magic prior to the events of season 5 and post-season 4. He goes into sullen silence to punish Merlin for lying to him, leaving Merlin in the interim of "does he want me dead or does he just need time?"
It leaves Merlin spiraling and Arthur to deal with the heart of Camelot, his heart, to deal with it.
