Summary
It has been six months since both Merlin’s magic and his pregnancy were revealed, and six months since he was locked inside an opulent guest room turned prison cell. Arthur hasn’t been to visit him – not once – despite the fact that the child Merlin is carrying is his, and Merlin still doesn’t know whether an execution awaits him on the other side of his pregnancy. If he even survives it, that is. Because it has also been six months since Merlin’s magic was locked away by iron cuffs, and the strain is making him weaker by the day.
Tired of waiting and deciding that he can’t allow an innocent baby to grow up in a Camelot that hates magic, Merlin strikes a deal with Agravaine that will ensure the safety of his unborn child.

Summary
"That was magic," Arthur accuses.
"Oh." Merlin just nods, looking unperturbed.
Arthur fights to keep his expression calm, mind racing and heart pounding. "Sorcery is outlawed in Camelot. On pain of death."
Merlin splutters, finally fixing Arthur with an affronted glare. "It's not like I meant to do it!"
***
Merlin gets hit with a spell meant for Arthur and loses his memory. Revelations ensue. Set sometime after 5x02.

Summary
“You knew Merlin had magic,” Morgana accused.
“I had no idea!” Arthur snapped. “Please, this is clearly hurting him! Just get the cuffs off!”Morgana puts Merlin in a pair of cold iron cuffs and chaos ensues. Arthur takes it surprisingly well, all things considered.

Summary
After revealing his magic, Merlin promised his king that he would tell him if he was hurt or needed help. The aftermath of an assassination attempt sent him, injured, stumbling into Arthur's chambers to fulfill his promise. Once he did that, he figured he could finish getting ready for the visiting delegation and wrap up his chores. He wasn't sure why Arthur was being so weird about it. He was only lightly shot.
Based on the prompt:
"I have to tell you something."
"Can it wait? I'm busy."
"It's urgent."
"Okay, fine. What's so important that you had to interrupt me?"
"I've been shot."
"Why didn't you lead with that?"Series

In hindsight, running after a sorcerer, alone, in the woods, in the middle of an ambush wasn’t his best idea.

Summary
"Excuse my directness, but there is simply no way to put this subtly. I have been wanting to ask if your husband is of fae blood?" Lord Edrick inquired nonchalantly.
Arthur almost spat out his drink, but settled for coughing profoundly.
"Sorry?"Or
A visiting noble thinks Arthur's husband, Merlin, is of fae blood because of his beauty. Arthur agrees.
Merlin is NOT a fae.

Summary
Never in his royal tutelage was he told what to do when slimy, slithering men insinuate that he seeks company that isn’t his husband. Why did no one think to prepare him for this?
“Your silence betrays your guilt, Pendragon,” Rodreck grins, and then raises his hands in placation. “Don’t worry, we certainly won’t tell. It’s only natural to have a few sweet things tucked away. A squire here, a stableboy there, a handful of whores when the mood calls for it.”
And finally, Arthur has had enough.
.
In which Arthur has to sit through yet another feast when he would rather be with Merlin, only this one is made much worse when his guests begin asking questions about his consort, and then about his loyalty to said consort. What follows after the feast is a collapse onto the bed as Arthur spends the rest of his night in Merlin’s arms.

Summary
Valarr felt the familiar, cold weight settle in his stomach. Maekar was the Anvil of House Targaryen, a man who rarely asked for help and never for company. There were few reasons his uncle would summon him at such an hour, and only one that involved such palpable panic from a messenger.
“Prince Aerion, my Prince. Lord Maekar... he—he told me to find you,” the boy stammered, confirming the suspicion before Valarr even had to voice it.
Valarr Targaryen had spent his life taming the wildfire of his cousin Aerion, hiding a forbidden devotion behind the gray mask of duty. But when the politics of the realm and the taunt of a hedge knight pushed Aerion to the brink of rebellion, the mask finally imploded. Between the cheers of a tourney and the silence of a royal bedchamber, can two dragons bind forever?

Summary
Beware: Maegor with teats has begotten Aerion the Monstrous.
Prince Aerion Targaryen once drank a cup of wildfire, convinced it would make him a dragon. It made him a corpse instead—briefly. Fate (or the gods, or some bored Valyrian demon with a taste for jokes) spits him back into the world generations earlier, reborn as the twin brother of Prince Jacerys Velaryon, son of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen.
He isn’t a dragon. Tragic.
Still Aerion decides to do what he does best:
Cause problems on purpose.

Summary
The problem with Merlin is that he doesn’t say nearly enough for all the talking he does. Honestly, the man can ramble on for hours and hours without being interrupted and never say one word about himself. He’s spoken about how Arthur sits wrong for longer than a council meeting for goodness’ sake. And yet in all that time, he’s never said a single thing about himself.
It would be impressive if it didn’t get them into nearly so many stressful situations that could’ve been avoided had he asked for help.

Summary
“There is no way in hell I’m dressing up as a woman,” Merlin huffed, crossing his arms stubbornly as his breath fogged up in the cold air.
“Come on, you have to!” Gwaine pleaded, pulling his best puppy eyes.
“Why? So that Arthur can call me a girl some more?”
The prince made a face. “First of all, calling you a girl has nothing to do with your feminine figure and everything to do with how you’re an absolute pansy!” Percival laughed, earning a threatening glare from Merlin. “Second of all, you’re not doing this for me, you’re doing this for the good of all of us.”
“Hear that, Merlin?” Gwaine piped up. “All of us. This is the future of Camelot we’re talking about! We’re going to catch our deaths out here if you don’t do it!”
“Gwaine,” Leon sighed, dragging a hand down his face. “Please stop.”
Merlin grinned “Thank you Leon—"
“You’re not going to convince him by pressuring him or taunting him.” The red headed knight turned to Merlin, a pleading expression on his face. “We request this of you humbly, Merlin. Please dress up as a woman.”

Summary
“I love him.”, Arthur said this before he had a chance to wince at his words. The moment froze between them. Arthur had so many regrets, he would love to just fling himself out of the window right now. But then Merlin's sacrifice really was in vain.
“You what?”, Uther's eyes were wide in shock. Maybe a little disgust at the prospect of a noble liking a servant.
Arthur swallowed down his pride. He had just thought about what was more important than pride and honor. He could make this sacrifice. 'For Merlin.', he thought.
Because life is always more important. Arthur closed his eyes to brace himself for what he was going to say next.
Just so he wouldn't have to see his father's reaction.“He's my consort.”, he added and almost broke at his own words. Lying was always hard. But nothing had ever compared to this.
