It all makes perfect sense! by Merlinfirstlastalways

Summary
After years of increasingly dangerous magical attacks, Arthur finally decides that he should know his enemy, and cracks open a bestiary to study monsters. To his shock, the book talks about people who were *born* with magic, and suddenly everything makes a lot more sense, because one of the entries reads as though it was written with Merlin specifically in mind!
Alternatively: Arthur picks up the medieval equivalent of a D&D manual, and puts two and two together, but still somehow arrives at three

Summary
He was furious. His father, as always, found some mistake, a small insignificant detail that he couldn't let go.
He slammed the door to his room and locked it. When he looked up, he saw his servant give a slight jump of surprise.
His blue eyes, as soft as the calm sky, watched him with concern.

Summary
"A knight finally remembers what being a knight is about and decides fuck the king, fuck the prince and fuck everyone else as a matter of fact."
“We’ll break the tyrant’s scepter, we’ll build the prince’s throne!”
(“There’s no such thing as feminism in a feudal society,”)
————
In another life, she might have died with her children because of what her husband did.
In another, she would have been replaced as the queen by a selfish woman-child.
In one, the woman-child was innocent and unwilling and died as she did.
But in these lives, all of those come true and so much more.

Summary
Not all of Arthur's decisions are popular, and not all of his enemies dress exclusively in black.
Fortunately, there's more to Arthur's court than is visible to even Merlin's eyes.

Summary
“Dragons spin and spin
Spiders weave and weave
Snakes slither and climb
Sheep herd and herd
Lions roar and roar
Falcons fly and fly
Wolves howl and howl
White trees cry tears of blood
Ravens watch and watch with three and thousands of eyes
Blackwoods burn and burn
Dragons roar and roar
Roses grow and grow
Suns shine y shine
Towers burn y burn
Towers shine the way in green,” - Abiela Glimnt

Summary
"No dragon birth is without meaning. Sometimes the meaning is hard to see, but this time, I believe, it is clear. The white dragon bodes well for Albion, for you and Arthur, and for the land you will build together."
Merlin couldn't have known the drastic effect that Aithusa would have on destiny. She was a good omen, after all, what's the worst that could happen? Other than healing Morgana... Merlin will just have to sort it out.

Summary
What if Arthur knew all along that Uther had Nimueh used magic to allow for him and Ygraine to have a child. What If Arthur knew that Morgana was his half sister and didn't keep this from her. What if Arthur always knew that Merlin was a Sorcerer. What if Arthur wasn't born the son of Uther but instead born the daughter of Uther. In this series both Merlin and Arturia Pendragon answer the Dragon's Call and successfully bring forth the golden age of Albion, but the trials and tribulations that await them are difficult, with varying magical and non-magical threats upon not just Arturia but Camelot as well. Not only does Merlin have to protect the Crown Princess while concealing his magic from the King, but also master a power he was born with. Can Arturia and Merlin accomplish an impossible task in a land of myth? Or will events result in a dark future for magic.

Arthur is not actually stupid. Merlin, however, might be. Gwaine definitely is (but he gets all the best lines, anyway).

can we carry this love that we share into the open air by HistorianRoo

Summary
“It’s snowing.” Merlin's voice is just above a whisper, eyes sparkling and hands gripping the window sill, the cold walls tug at his threads of magic. Merlin presses his face against the glass, eyes watching closely as the snow dances in the air through the window panes.
“It’s cold Merlin.” King’s do not whine, but Arthur does. “Come back to bed, we’ll sleep the day away.”
Merlin shakes his head and turns to face his husband, tilting his head to the side and surveying his King’s sleep rustled hair. “Come on love, up.”
He waves his hand, and the quilt pulls back and attaches itself to the bottom of the bed.
“I’ll have you flogged.” It is an empty threat.
Merlin shakes his head and crosses to the wardrobe, “No you won’t.”
Arthur sighs, “No I won’t.” It’s softly spoken. He stands and pulls the blanket around his shoulders to act like a cloak.
~~~
Just a little oneshot of Married Merlin and Arthur, and Merlin's love of snow.Series

It’s late one night when they all decide to take the Sorting Hat test.
Merlin doesn’t really see the point, quite sure that Arthur will be a Gryffindor, and as such, that he, too, will be a Gryffindor.
He’s half right.

Summary
Arthur stared at his manservant as he picked up things around his room.
It shouldn’t have made his heart flutter to hear him hum as he works, it shouldn’t have sent a shiver down his spine when he shot a playful wink the prince’s way, and it shouldn’t have made his stomach flip when he laughs or rambles on and on…
But it did, and it burned.
Or
Arthur discovers Merlin's magic and has to decide if he's going to tell him or not, after taking time to come to terms with it. And maybe some other things.

Summary
Arthur was never supposed to find out about his magic, it just wasn't a priority when keeping their destinies on track. Merlin always imagined that eventually, after all of the fear prejudice had eased, he would tell Arthur on his own terms. It wasn't supposed to happen like it did.

Summary
Camelot was recovering.
Merlin had never realized how strong its inhabitants were, but after seeing their ability to return to everyday life after the horrors Morgana had subjected them to, he had to realize it.
Camelot wobbled, tried to hold on, and it did.
They had defeated Morgana, they had won. And, now, they could reap the fruits of that victory.
