Summary
Merlin, when he casts a spell in front of Arthur and the knights, might panic slightly. As in, he convinces Arthur that he definitely, no way, was aware that he could do magic. Arthur, being the kind and wise king he is, tries to help his idiot manservant figure out his new powers.
The Knights of The Round Table are mostly there to see what kind of cool things Merlin can do.

Summary
"I'm not sure what I'd have done."
"And I didn't want to put you in that position.”For better or for worse, Arthur knows Merlin's secret. The problem? Merlin doesn't know Arthur knows. This leaves Arthur with a predicament... and an opportunity. A test. Three trials and three opportunities for Merlin to prove he doesn't deserve death. Arthur hopes he will pass them. Maybe then the image of Merlin's golden eyes will stop haunting him.
Merlin opened his mouth. A noise unlike any sound Arthur had ever heard escaped from it. Loud and rumbling and guttural, inhuman, and in no way, shape, or form could actually be coming from his manservant.
But it was. And Merlin was speaking.
"O drakon, e male so ftengometta tesd'hup'anankes! Erkheo!"
For a minute, there was complete silence—a silence in which Arthur just stared from behind a tree in an incomprehensive daze.
But then there was a sound. Both loud and forceful and... familiar.
The sound of flapping wings.
AKA an in-depth character study of Arthur. I do not endorse Arthur's actions, but this is what I think he'd do in canon. This was my season 3 prediction!

Summary
Arthur gave Merlin his cloak thinking only of the warmth it would offer in a snowstorm. He never thought his manservant may be mistaken for him and snatched by bandits. Nor did he expect his dashing rescue of Merlin to turn his world so utterly on his head.
Because the bandits hadn't kidnapped a prince. They'd snatched a sorcerer, and now captivity is the least of anyone's problems.
A golden age awaits, but can they claim it together, or are they doomed to fail?

Merlin is an absolute Idiot and everyone must protect him by BookWorm_22
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
10 Jan 2022
Tags
Summary
There is one rule in Camelot that everyone knows but they don't know they know: Merlin has magic and is such an idiot that he needs to be protected from execution, by any excuse possible.
Except, perhaps not any excuse because that just causes problems now doesn't it...

Put Me Back in It by alphalupi

Summary
This is what he’d been waiting for, this is why he’d suffered centuries in an odd sort of stasis. He’d seen the rise and fall of empire after empire, felt spikes in magic and heard whispers of legend that were so close to the real thing he’d nearly deluded himself into believing it time and time again, but nothing had felt quite like this. After an entire millennium of waiting, the King had returned.
Or: Harry Potter is the fated Future King of Camelot and Merlin isn't about to let him grow up in Surrey with no knowledge of magic. What results is a Harry who's much better trained and much more well equipped to dive headfirst into chaos and a Merlin who remembers what it's like to care.

Summary
A fill for this prompt at kinkme_merlin: Merlin goes through a lot of trauma and has gotten very used to hiding it, moving on (or at least appearing to), and coping silently and without anyone noticing, because most of the time no one can know something happened. One day something traumatic happens to him, which everyone knows about, and everyone is waiting for Merlin to snap, only for him to...not. Arthur is caught between worried and suspicious, and sets about to get to the bottom of this.

Summary
“I think,” Merlin says carefully, “that Arthur Pendragon might be plotting to kill me.”
“Oh, yeah,” Will agrees. “Pendragon’s definitely fixing to have you done in.”
Freya nods slowly, pursing her lips. “Not much you can do about that, I’m afraid,” she says, patting his arm gently, “but we’ll pick you out a pretty coffin.”
Or: Arthur didn’t speak to Merlin much before Merlin lost his temper at him in Uncle Gaius’s apothecary, but the incident has apparently only strengthened Arthur’s resolve to avoid Merlin for the rest of time. On a completely unrelated note, Merlin is also now being gently stalked by Arthur’s friends and sister.
A High School AU.

Summary
Arthur didn’t move, not even when Merlin, this odd refined older Merlin that he couldn’t even recognise anymore, grabbed the back on his neck and leaned his forehead against his. Arthur closed his eyes, but nothing helped. Merlin had taken over all his senses. Common one too, it seemed.
Merlin just wanted to go back in time to pull a prank on Arthur. It doesn’t go as planned. His plans never do. Now he and King Arthur are back in the past to make sure their present doesn’t get destroyed. Confusing, he knows. He has a headache as well.
