Summary
It’s there, suffocating under the golden hues of the morning sun, that Arthur first experienced what it must feel like to truly believe in something.
-----
Sometimes, he’d hear someone wax poetic about their faith. [..]They’d all told him about the same - that one day they just knew. They looked around at the world around them and found miracles and intention. Realized that surely, something or someone had to be the cause. Surely, there was a point to this. There was meaning.
Arthur had never understood it. He’d never needed faith. Never needed blind obedience, or trust in some entity he could not see much less touch. Did not experience that Knowing.
Merlin knelt beside him, chin up and hands low, and yet Arthur felt like the one who was praying. Felt the buzz at the center of his chest; the twitch of his hands at the need to - to say something. Do something. Let that Knowing escape him like a hymn.

“Actually, It Wasn't Magic” (“It Was Just You, Uther.”) by NeutralMime

Summary
Starting with Valiant, Arthur begins to realize that maybe—just maybe—Camelot’s problems aren’t caused by magic alone, no matter what his father’s been screaming his whole life.
Instead, it’s a mess of emotional tangles, terrible communication, and the dawning horror that Uther might be completely wrong about… well, everything.

Summary
"It had started with a stranger who requested to speak to him privately. — The loyalty and love that he held for an old friend is what propelled him forward."
Merlin takes in two children. The Round Table knights kind of lose their minds. Gwen nearly burns the place down several times out of cuteness overload. Gaius can't believe this is happening. Hunith finally arrives to Camelot. And Arthur? Well, he manages the whole situation flawlessly, of course.
Featuring: A shoddy attempt to be partially accurate of the time period, in some of the least-important aspects possible; Arthur being entirely honest to himself about his feelings... eventually; Merlin finding the strength he needs to go after peace; emotional outbursts, mishaps, and conversations; a dog, at some point; magic being welcomed back into Camelot; and, perhaps most importantly, a whole bunch of love.

Summary
A merciless heatwave descends on Camelot, draining knights and servants alike, testing even Prince Arthur’s resolve. In the suffocating air, where every movement grows heavier and every glance lingers too long, the line between duty and desire begins to blur.
Caught between the weight of the sun and the pull of something far more dangerous, Arthur and Merlin soon find that the fiercest heat may not come from the summer at all. -

Summary
Everyone thought the prophecy about Camelot’s Golden Age was grand and glorious.
"One day, a fair and just king will bring Camelot into its Golden Age… if they reach it."
Uther assumed it was him, with magic eradicated from the land.
Nimueh thought she was destined to guide him as court sorcerer.
Morgana was under the belief that it was her right.
The druids whispered that Emrys, the greatest sorcerer of all time, would be the key.They were all wrong.
The prophecy wasn’t about glory, conquest, or restoring magic.
It was about keeping Arthur Pendragon alive long enough to actually be king.
Which meant Emrys’ true, legendary destiny was not to wield unimaginable power or unite Albion— but to be the world’s most powerful, put-upon babysitter.

Summary
Merlin hisses as the harsh metal digs into his wrists. There are rumours that The Mighty Emrys, emphasis on the capital letters, wouldn’t bend to cold iron’s will…and yet. It’s hard to believe such innocent looking metal – or innocent as chains can be – could be the cause of such immutable pain. Don’t get him wrong, Merlin has been through his fair share of injuries and attempts on his life (some more successful than others, thank you immortality) but this? This is unlike anything he’s felt before.
[Merlin's magic is revealed after yet another bandit attack. Arthur doesn't react well. And as it turns out, cold iron is bad, folks! Way angstier than I expected this idea to be. Would you believe me if I said I just want everyone to be happy? No? Okay.]

Summary
Arthur Pendragon and Merlin were literally from two different worlds. One is a prince from a great kingdom and the other a common farm boy from the next kingdom over. These two should have never met.
But that was before they realized their parents were once friends and arranged the two of them to marry when they reached adulthood. That was before Uther turned on magic and Hunith went on the run with her infant son.
Now, twenty years have passed and the Prince, Arthur Pendragon is far out of his depth. After four months of marriage and learning what he has about Merlin, he knows that things need to change, but doesn’t know what can be done.
And with every attempt at trying going wrong, with mysterious boys showing up wanting to be a knight, strange physician’s trying to coerce his consort away, even stranger ladies who’ve seen to weaken Arthur’s brain, and the arrival of an odd Druid boy they need to risk it all just to get to safety…will Arthur ever get things to go right?
