Aww man I always made it a point to avoid WIPs but this was so much fun. Arthur as Batman and Merlin as his somewhat competent sidekick. The focus of the story is not so much of Arthur saving the world as Merlin trying to worm his way into Arthur's world. Now how do I bribe the author to continue this?

I've seen this fic being recced a few times recently - and it deserves every rec out there and more to come.
Magic reveal fic. I loved how Arthur was given not just time, but also reason to accept magic and it was wonderful to see Merlin finally prepared to give it all up to change Arthur's mind on the matter.

Did I mention this was perfect?
I love this SO much. The show always made it a point to show us how noble Arthur was but we didn’t really get to see how his people reacted to that - how they saw him; if they thought him to be as kind and generous as he really was. And how wonderful is it that the fic shows us this, with a whole village of people who adored, believed in and knew him. It was also amazing to see a different kind of experience Arthur could have had where he was younger, which somehow made sense if you think about how conflicted he was most of the times in his adult years. A younger Arthur having happy childhood memories and Arthur bringing himself to share it with Merlin is the best thing ever and no fic set in the canon-verse that ties up the M/A relationship is complete without a proper magic reveal. As much as I enjoy angry, even bitter, confrontations between Merlin and Arthur, I also wanted it to be a simple conversation initiated in a setting where they were both deeply relaxed, trusting and comfortable. Where it became natural to ask the obvious questions and where Merlin can see that he wasn't alone in secrecy and pining.
Just read it ok.

Summary
Art for kianspo's Paperlegends fic "Come Alive"
Arthur Pendragon, the youngest Detective Inspector in Camelot, whose job is rumoured to be cursed, stumbles over a series of crimes no one can explain. Merlin Emrys, a constantly broke student working at a shady nightclub to pay the bills, comes in as a sketch artist - one with an unusual gift. The shadow of magic, supposedly eradicated centuries ago, makes things so much more dangerous for everyone. It's hardly a good time to fall in love.
