    Summary

    Merlin would have expected his magic would be revealed in some epic life or death scenario.
    Not for something so mundane.

    “You know what. Yes. I do confess I have magic.”, Merlin said. And suddenly the room was silent. Honestly, why were they surprised? He was just condemned to death for sorcery.[...]
    "No. Gaius didn't know.. [....] In fact, I've been very careful hiding my secret from all of you. [...]
    Which is why this is the stupidest thing I have EVER heard!”, Merlin shook of the knights hand, as he stepped forward to the king. Like a mad man. To be fair, he was a little mad.

    “Burned... for heating tea.”, Merlin shook his head.
    [...] "How fucked up is that?!"

     

    Alternatively: what if Merlin was actually condemned to be executed but just decided to -not let them do that.

    Summary

    Merlin told his magic to back down when he sensed something wrong during one of Camelot's many feasts because everything seems
    to be just fine but it isn't until he leaves The Kings chambers for the night that he realises swallowing his magics screams wasn't a
    good idea.

     

    or:
    Merlin goes missing after a feast in the castle and Arthur will use every last piece of his body to ensure his Warlock gets home alive.

    Summary

    “I demand that Gaius take over your role involving my care immediately.”

    Merlin gave Arthur a blank stare. “Gaius has better things to do.”

    Arthur spluttered, guffawed, mouth open in shock, then replied unintelligibly, “You are the worst physician I’ve ever met.”

    -

    Prince Arthur gets severely injured, and unfortunately, Merlin has just signed up to be Gaius' apprentice.

    Summary

    What Arthur knows: Merlin, his clumsy and foolish servant, is actually quite smart. He’s also loyal, and brave, and in many ways the reason Arthur has so many good people in his life.

    The goal: Make Merlin realize how important he is to Arthur, no matter how stubborn he's clearly chosing to be about it.

    What Arthur does not know, yet: Merlin has magic. Also they're very slightly a little bit in love.

    It's going to take them a while to figure it all out. Meanwhile the knights have known for ages, Gwen figures it out pretty quick, and pretty much all of Camelot has also known ever since that weird peasant stumbled through the gates and challenged the Prince all those years ago.

    OR

    "How to win over your manservant one argument at a time and convince him it was all his idea."

    Summary

    This is a series based on BBC Merlin.

    It's about Merlin's magic and his relationship with Arthur. In as many different ways as I can imagine.
    The knights and servants and other characters will also have many appearances. But the main focus will be on Merlin and Arthur.

    There is no need to read the stories in any order or all of them at all. Each story is it's own idea. They can be read separately.

    Summary

    Hurt by a confrontation with a drunk Arthur, Merlin decides he's had enough and leaves Camelot. As he's leaving, Agravaine follows him, determined to kill him so he'll no longer cause him further issues. So Merlin reveals his magic and kills him instead before taking the man's horse and leaving. He travels for a while, playing music at taverns to earn food and shelter before he ends up helping an injured patrol of Caerleon Knights. Queen Annis takes him in and assigns him to train her physicians before discovering his heritage and naming him a knight and reinstating his father's name.

    Along the way, Merlin becomes embroiled in courts and councils, three stubborn and playful princesses, and attends King Arthur's wedding at his Queen's side.

    Before long, Merlin is lord of his own township, conducting magic lessons, and locating Morgana to try and bring her to his estate as a peace offering to the court of Camelot.

    He really wishes he'd found a cave to hide in instead of joining Queen Annis some days....

    Summary

    Merlin panicked, and in his panic, he forgot the dozen or so spells he’d learned to handle situations like this. Instead, he reached for his magic on instinct, lashing out with unshaped force; he reached for something, anything, anything at all, as long as it would help!

    ‘Anything’ answered in the form of Nimueh’s magic, blooming in his chest. The magic unfurled like a great flower, and its petals stretched out. Then the screams cut off, because the petals were sharp, and Merlin turned on his side and was thoroughly sick.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or, Merlin struggles after killing Nimueh

    NOTE: there is no non-con in this story, but there are bandits who make some threats that imply it

    Summary

    In which the author took that one scene from S4E4, where Merlin takes Arthur's keys in front of the council, and made that his entire personality; then took that level of chaos and shamelessness and plopped him in the middle of a college campus.

    Summary

    A series of one-shots depicting various times Merlin could have, and SHOULD have, left Camelot.

    Some angst, some hurt/comfort, some hurt/no comfort (because I really love those), and perhaps even some humor.

    Summary

    “...I think there’s something wrong with me,” he whispers. “I have an…affliction.”
    Merlin’s eyebrows raise, mouth opening and closing all at once. “You—you have an affliction? Have you…been to see Gaius lately?”

     

    -

    Arthur's turned up in Ealdor, prepared to help the village fight off Kanen and his men, much to Merlin's delight. But there's something about an excursion away from Camelot, away from his knights and guards and Uther, that loosens his tongue around Merlin that first night.

    Summary

    Arthur and the knights happen to see something they shouldn't have and Arthur reacts like you'd expect. Merlin has enough and a simple sentence ends it all.
