Summary
“I just wanted to make sure that you’re alright. You know you can always come to the Council if you need anything. Or me, I can give you my comm code. Or Master Plo. We just want to help you, Obi-Wan.”
Obi-Wan gave Mace a look, a look that made him look far beyond his 14 years. As if he didn’t believe a single word coming out of Maces’ mouth. And Mace honestly couldn’t blame him. The Council had failed Obi-Wan, multiple times.

Summary
Arthur could see his father glaring down - face red and eyes narrowed as he looked at Merlin with clear distaste.
"Once this over, sorcerer...I’ll burn you."
"You’ve already tried that," Merlin’s voice answered and Arthur had to bite his fist to keep from making any noise. “You need to accept you can’t kill me… Hand me that blanket, please.”
“I’m sure there must be some method… Beheading?”
“No, we tried that.”
“Hanging?”
“I just sort of... Swung there, remember?”
There was another pause.
“I should have made you keep that dragon below the castle so I could feed you to it.”
“Kilgharrah? He won’t eat me, but if you want to torture me than making me listen to his nonsense for an hour might do it.” Merlin said and there was a soft sigh from the other end of the room. “I’m glad you agreed to help me though. Usually I have to do the grunt work of saving Arthur myself.”
“I can’t wait to kill you.”
Or
Uther finds out about Merlin’s magic, but can’t seem to kill him. Merlin is just trying to protect Arthur. They become a begrudgingly effective duo. Arthur doesn't understand why they think he isn't noticing this.

Summary
Being a warlock in a kingdom that punished magic by death wasn't easy to begin with, but Merlin had learnt the hard way that things could always get worse. For example, you might have to keep your secret while being appointed as the Prince's manservant... or said Prince who would by then have become King could suddenly find it entertaining to accuse you of sorcery.
Or, ten very confusing conversations about magic with Arthur, and one that wasn't.

Summary
“So I take it you weren’t on a date last night?” Arthur asks.
“Hmm?” Merlin answers distractedly, eyes scanning the space around them.
“Last night. You said you had to leave because you were meeting somebody. You were going to have dinner with Guinevere and I to tell us about it.”
Merlin groans. “Bugger. I forgot I agreed to that.”
“So you are courting someone, then?”
“Not as such, no,” Merlin admits.
Arthur keeps pressing, disturbingly desperate to know for certain so that he can picture it more clearly, or, less likely, never think of it again.
-
Or, Merlin claims he has a date. Arthur spirals. Things work out in the end.

Summary
"After a night spent tossing and turning in her bed, Gwen could only see one path forward: she would keep Merlin's secret and try her best to save him from his own impulsivity. Merlin was one of the bravest people Gwen knew, but he was also one of the most foolish. Anyone who would walk up to Prince Arthur and call him an ass clearly needed somebody to watch their back."
AU where Gwen figures out that Merlin has magic early in season one, and realizes she's in a great position to make sure he and Morgana support each other.

Summary
Merlin had just enough time to congratulate himself on a job well done after removing a tampered-with goblet of wine from Arthur's chambers, when suddenly things went very wrong
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To Merlin’s absolute mortal terror, Uther tilted the cup to his own mouth and drank, looking Merlin straight in the eye all the while, and Merlin tried not to think about how much killing he’d be subjected to, when people worked it out that the King had gotten a poisoned cup from Merlin’s own hands.

Merlin's dealt with a lot of bullshit over the years, but learning that the KING OF A KINGDOM THAT HAS OUTLAWED MAGIC CAN USE MAGIC is the last fucking straw.

Summary
Without thinking, Arthur blurts out, “Maybe you can teach me a spell?”
Merlin stiffens again, looking as though he’s braced for ridicule, and Arthur knows immediately that he can’t rescind the words. “Why would you want that?”
“Come on, Merlin. I can’t exactly have my servant being better at something than I am, now can I?”
Or,
Three months after lifting the ban on magic, Arthur catches Morgana and Merlin practicing a spell together. After initially struggling to come to terms with, he asks to be taught a spell as a gesture of acceptance. He is shocked to learn that magic is hard, and Merlin is actually quite good at it. Who would have guessed?

Summary
“But I have a question. Are you in love with Arthur?”
Merlin froze. Was it too convenient to pretend to faint from pain? Surely, that was the best answer to such a question. Of course, second only to a confident, bewildered “no.” Unfortunately, he felt his pause had already given enough of an answer. “Of course not.”
“Well, then are you trying to kill him?”
Or, Morgana finds Merlin's self-sacrificing behavior as something that could only motivated by love. Arthur thinks she's crazy. In her quest to prove herself right, she uncovers some secrets about Merlin better left hidden...

Summary
“It is said that all those who oppose Camelot eventually fall,” he said casually, into the silence. “As you can imagine, that has made the position of friend rather than foe much more appealing to me.” His gaze was unwavering but not unfriendly, almost as if he was trying to read Arthur’s soul. “I am surprised that you make no mention of the individual behind your success. I am also surprised that you saw me as enough of a threat to bring him here with you.”
“Your Majesty?”
“Your Spymaster, of course,” the king said, as if it were obvious, eyes flicking behind Arthur again. “The one you’ve been having act as your servant."
