    Summary

    Arthur and his men all sucked in a breath when they saw the cage. It was pure iron, and inside was a man. Well a young one. He couldn’t have been quite twenty years.

    His blue eyes were wet with tears and the rest of him were just wounds and bruises. His wrists were clearly raw and torn up under the shackles.

    The boy didn’t speak but he did whine and try to cover his eyes. The whining increased when the iron hit his face.
    ~~~
    What if everyone knew Merlin was already a warlock when they met him? What if Magic wasn’t completely illegal in Camelot? And what if uther isn’t as bad as he was in the show?
    Merlin is running from something and is captured by a poacher before being saved by Arthur and the knights. When he’s taken to Camelot uther gives him to Arthur as his private sorcerer but Merlin knows little of what that entails.
    In this fic we take canon and throw it out the window for a fun slowburn merthur fic.

    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...
