Summary
Yet another magic reveal, Court Sorcerer AU.
Starts after season 4, but before season 5, and therefore happily tosses the tragedy out the window.
I'm just having a little fun taking the mother of all clichés and putting my own spin on it.- Words:

Summary
“I’m the king,” Arthur says grumpily, swallowing around the stone that has settled in his throat, “I can wear what I want.”
“What about what I want?”
“I’m the king,” Arthur repeats slowly, since Merlin is being particularly thick, “and so you can also wear what I want.”
Or, Arthur dresses Merlin, which goes about as well as you would expect.

Summary
Arthur does not need love. A prince is above such things. He does not need to be held, he needs only the embrace of armor on his skin as he trains to protect Camelot. He does not need friends, only allies to ensure his kingdoms future. These are the marks of a good leader.
That is what he tells himself, anyway.

Summary
It was over. Arthur was here. The Lamia was slain. Gwen was alright. The knights would be back to normal. It was over.
Able to relax for the first time in days, he let his knees buckle and his back slide down the wall. He hit the ground, and his vision turned to mist.
Merlin didn't make it out of his encounter with the Lamia unscathed, or so Arthur thinks when he slays the beast and finds Merlin slumped against the wall and bleeding. When he learns the true source of Merlin's injuries he is furious. He does his best to push that anger away though, because being there for Merlin matters far more right now.
or
The Lamia episode but Merthur, and the knights actually injured Merlin.

Bad Dreams by Merlinfirstlastalways

Summary
When Morgana and Agravaine attempted to take Camelot by siege, Merlin could only see one path forward: reveal himself, and push back their army. Now, with Agravaine dead and his secrets revealed, his relationship with Arthur seems broken beyond repair, especially since Arthur has sent him away from Camelot to represent the Crown's interest outside of the city.
Accompanied by Gwaine, Percival, and two new knights, Merlin must endeavor to reassure the Kingdom and its allies that magic can be a force for good even as he navigates the pressures that come from being a newly-elevated noble and Arthur's recognized personal sorcerer.
His quest begins with King Olaf and Lady Vivian.

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
In many ways, things are the same as ever.
It’s only… Well, back when Merlin still had things like secrets, or privacy, or self-respect, he would have thought that of the secrets, the magic would have been the one to truly catch Arthur’s interest.
But no. It’s the other secret that Arthur picks and plucks at.

Summary
A hazy fog shrouded his thoughts as Merlin’s cock brushed over his prostate on each thrust in. His breath came in short pants, needy ‘ah ah ah’s’ and ‘yes, yes yes’s’ punched out of his lungs in wanton, shameless streams with garbled pleas and moans of what could have been Merlin’s name like worship. Heat tingled down his spine, tightening and swirling low in the bottom of his belly.
“Gonna fill you up until it’s dripping out,” Merlin sighed, hot breath ghosting the shell of Arthur’s ear and sending shivers through his body.
Or
Arthur loves when Merlin fills him up with his come, Merlin loves filling him. They make a perfect pair, really.

Summary
Merlin and Arthur are fighting, and its driving everyone in Camelot insane - especially since they're intent on proving that they don't need each other. Tortured, the Knights get to meddling, and when that doesn't work, they leave it to Morgana.
Includes: Dancing, Pining, Gwaine getting punched in the face, and a very bitchy Merlin, because I'm convinced there's not enough of that. Also Leon breaks. Again.

Merlin is calm, sweet, loved by everyone. He's the guy you want mediating your arguments. The most adorable human. Everyone's little brother.
So the Knights think.
...then Arthur is kidnapped.

Summary
Arthur knows Morgana would rather have her father back, but that doesn’t mean she gets to take his. Yet Arthur’s father seems like he rather wants to be taken. Happy to have a daughter, whereas Arthur has never managed to convince himself that his father is happy about him at all.
Tintagel was to welcome him.
(Or, Arthur leaves the summer Morgana comes to Camelot, and manages to find first a bird and then a friend.)

Summary
“Aren’t there others who need your help?”
“Perhaps,” Merlin’s response is immediate, “but seeing as the King has entered my tent, I find it prevalent to tend to him first.”
Arthur’s stomach sinks like a stone. Merlin only gets respectful when he’s hiding something.
They don’t hold secrets from each other anymore. Or at the very least, it's something they are working on. But old habits die hard, especially when they think it’s to protect the other.
Which means Merlin is hiding something he thinks will upset Arthur. Which also means it has to do with magic.

Summary
Merlin is court sorcerer, but having that role means he isn't Arthur's manservant anymore, and Merlin misses it. Not all of it, obviously, but the domestic bits, like waking him up every morning and wishing him a good sleep every night.
Now, Arthur has a new manservant, Quentin, to do those things - and Merlin hates it. Everyone knows he hates Quentin, but nobody knows why. Naturally, the knights bet on it, because what else do they have to do in a land of myth and a time of magic (and peace)?-

Magic is no longer outlawed. Camelot is safe for all those who practice magic and who wish to study it.
As soon as Leon steps into the courtyard he can hear the shouts.

Summary
The five times that Merlin unknowingly uses magic in his sleep and the one time he realizes what he’s done.
Or Merlin sucks at keeping secrets and Arthur just thinks he’s the most adorable thing on this planet. So a bit comedy, hurt/comfort, and fluff all rolled into one short fic.

Summary
Morgana crept through the hallway towards the door of Arthur’s Chambers. She was so close she could taste it. She tried to open the door but of course it was locked. She looked around before discretely whispering ‘Tospringe’ to break the lock. She edged into Arthur’s room, readying herself for the best moment of her life. Revenge. What she didn’t expect to see was Arthur in a deep sleep. (Ok, that made sense as it was God knows what time in the morning. It was the other major sight that shocked her.) Arthur wasn’t alone.
Morgana comes back for revenge but it just turns into one big emotional pillow fight - Literally :)
