A series of unrelated one-shots and short stories about Merlin revealing his magic because both he and all his friends are idiots. Also, Merlin, for the life of him, has no sense of self-preservation at all and I try to embody that in these fics.

Summary
It's hard enough keeping Arthur and Camelot safe without anyone finding out about his magic. But when Merlin falls in love with Arthur, he has no idea that he has triggered a chain of events that will alter the course of destiny itself... or what it will cost them both for Arthur to know the truth.
Destiny is a matter of choice, not chance.

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...
Update 27/04/2024: This is long and in-process. So consider a break between story arcs!

Arc 3 - (chapters 71+, in progress) What happens when your father invites every eligible woman to Camelot so you can find your wife like you promised in exchange for saving Merlin? Chaos. -
Summary
The National Institute for Covert Defence (NICD) is an agency established by the Crown in 1934 for the purpose of defending the United Kingdom from her enemies, in collaboration with other services directed by the Joint Intelligence Committee. Based in various locations around the UK, operations are conducted into both domestic and international affairs. Primary responsibilities include surveillance, espionage and counter-terrorism. All employees are under the Official Secrets Act and all information held by the agency is exempt from disclosure under section 23 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Although it is nominally under the judicial oversight of the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, in practice it is allowed a great amount of freedom outside the law to conduct affairs. The agency has been headed by Director General Sir Uther Pendragon since 2003.
Leon and Merlin, formerly Special Agents Lionel Gaunnes (code name Knight) and Myrddin Wyllt (code name Emrys) of the NICD, are currently on the run from the agency, charges of treason and a lifetime's worth of trauma snapping at their heels. This is the story of their lives.
