“𝘈𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘶𝘳, 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬!”
No… he had been in it.
“𝘔𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘯? 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵?”
He had been in it. He was sure of that.
“𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘢, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘦.”
And he had not been alone.
“𝘐 𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘌𝘮𝘳𝘺𝘴-”
His hand flew up to his neck, almost by instinct. But there was nothing there.
What… what had happened in that hovel?

Summary
Prince Arthur did not intend to bring Merlin on patrol, he didn’t even know his manservant could ride a horse. But he can’t say no to that grin, not when Merlin has gone and packed and saddled up a horse for himself without asking. It’s a dull, routine patrol along the border, almost a formality at this point. Even if magic is legal in Escetir, they’ve held a shaky peace treaty with Camelot for over a decade; it’s unlikely they’ll see any danger.
But what Arthur does not know is that the recent spike in deaths of magical creatures in Camelot has not gone unnoticed. There are whispers that King Uther is a liar and a hypocrite, now secretly rebuilding his magical defence. And to bring sorcery to the border - well now, that would be an act of aggression tantamount to declaring war.

Summary
"Ah, Merlin," Arthur said, looking up from his desk. "I expect you have my speech ready for tomorrow?"
Merlin nodded and approached the desk. He bowed his head as he put the scroll down then kept it bowed before moving back and standing in front of him.
Arthur, immediately, was suspicious.
"Merlin? Is something the matter?"
Merlin didn't answer, just keeping his head down.

Summary
Arthur died. Then Arthur wakes up. One week after Merlin begins his service as his manservant. Ten years worth of future knowledge is at his fingertips and the chance to make everything right: to rediscover Merlin, magic and all; to be the brother Morgana needed him to be; to spend more time with Guinevere and be the man she knew he could be, the man he aspired to become; to confront his father and change Camelot for the better.
But Arthur’s a prince again. He hasn’t known Merlin for one year, let alone ten, Morgana has no idea they were friends let alone related, Guinevere still thinks he’s a prat, and he has to act the part of a prince if he doesn’t want some poor sod getting killed in the hopes of lifting a fake enchantment Uther thinks was cast on his son.
Things are about to get a whole lot more complicated.

Summary
Merlin goes to see Gaius when Agravaine gives him the dagger to be gifted to Arthur instead of to the armory. He wants reassurance that he matters and that he should stay and not abandon his destiny.
He wasn't expecting to end up kidnapped along with Gaius by the Catha hired by Morgana and Agravaine.
And he certainly wasn't expecting to be taken to the Catha home to be trained by them to become an ambassador for magic to Camelot when it was all over.
Arthur can't let go of the argument he and Merlin had when Agravaine had accused Gaius of keeping secrets. He gathers Gwaine and Leon to keep him in check when he goes to talk to Merlin, only to find their rooms a mess and the pair missing.
After some reflection, he starts to see what Merlin had meant about Agravaine and has him arrested.
He talks with his knights to figure out what he should do next.

Summary
The mark of nimueh, season 1 episode 3 rewrite.
"“Please Arthur! At least let me show you magic isn’t evil! I can show you how it isn’t magic that corrupts, it’s only people. Magic is not inherently bad or good, it is just a tool, just like a sword! But it also helps create things, and helps people. Healing magic, magic to help crops grow, there are so many uses just let me show you.” Merlin was terrified. He didn’t want to die, he needed to stay alive to help Arthur. To achieve his destiny.“Okay then, show me.”
“Really?” Merlin asked with a smile, forgetting the potential danger he is in for a moment."

Summary
“Oh, fuck,” the Prince mumbles to himself as his brain registers what he’s just witnessed, one hand reaching up to anxiously run through his golden hair. He’s not panicking, though, definitely not. A Prince doesn’t panic, especially not over something so trivial as realising that his manservant— whom he also thinks he’s in love with, but that part isn’t a new development— has magic, and would most certainly be killed on the spot should his father ever find out about said magic. Why on Earth would he panic over that?
