Summary
A series of Merlin one-shots that each mostly began with either a random thought, or a dialogue prompt. None are related, so you can read them in any order. Some are funny, some are horrendously sad, and several are angsty with some hurt/comfort thrown in for good measure.

Summary
“You’re speaking of it like it is that simple.” Arthur said, drawing Merlin’s eyes to meet his king’s finally. “You either have it or you don’t. That’s what you are implying.”
“When did Morgana’s dreams begin?” Merlin asked rather than answer.
“She’s had them for as long as I’ve known her.” Arthur frowned deeper.
“Her mother was an initiate to the priesthood of the Old Religion, as you call it, before Uther banned such practices. She unfortunately died before she could teach her daughter control. Morgana is a Seer. Her dreams are visions of what has been, what could be, and what will be, with no discernable differences to the undisciplined mind.” Merlin said gently. “She was born with that ability. She did not ask for it, she did not study to gain it, and she certainly did not explore it when she was forced to live here in Camelot when Gorlois died.”
“Magic drove her mad.” Arthur argued, his face angry.
“Fear drove her mad.” Merlin countered firmly, not backing down.

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
“It was never supposed to end like this. You were both meant for such happier things.”
“I was always meant to be a tragedy.” Arthur disagrees.
“Dearest darling, you are the king of kings, this will not be your end.”
With Arthur's death comes a single chance to go back to the beginning and save everyone he's ever loved. Seeing home in Merlin's eyes and a hope for a better world in Morgana's, Arthur knows what he must do.
Only bringing magic back to Camelot will prevent the future he knows is coming from happening, but in his way is the only mountain he's never been able to climb; his father won't change for anyone, not even for his son.

Summary
Once there was nothing left for them to do, they made their way to the Disir’s cave once more. As they arrived, Merlin started fidgeting nervously. Arthur noticed but he needed to stay focused on how to say the right thing. He planted his sword into the ground and made his way inside, Merlin following suit.
“-Arthur Pendragon. You have returned with your decision?
-I have.
-Will you embrace the ways of the Old Religion, or will you seal your fate and follow the path of your father?”
The King took a deep breath, and shifted his feet. He could feel Merlin’s eyes practically burning a hole in his neck.
“I need to do what my heart tells me is right. I have decided to heed your warning and to learn to accept magic into Camelot."
OR
After Merlin accidentally reveals his magic to Arthur, the King of Camelot decides to reinstate magic back into the land. His relationship with Merlin is forever changed, and they grow even closer than they used to be. Will their love for each other be enough to beat the fates awaiting them?

Summary
In hopes of escaping a vicious monster, Merlin reveals his magic by teleporting Arthur and himself deep into the forest. The injured king is anything but forgiving, and it may cost him everything in end.
Or
"Arthur watched in suspended horror as Merlin picked his dirty jacket up and shrugged it on, fixing his stained scarf over the collar. Stains of Arthur's blood he could tell wouldn’t wash out at the river where Merlin must have rinsed it off. After Merlin saved his life. Again.
Reality stabbed Arthur like a thousand daggers to his stomach and he brutally realized Merlin was walking away from him without another word."
