Summary
Merlin has magic,” Uther’s words hit Merlin like a ton of bricks, the spirit disappearing as if it was never there.
Merlin closes his eyes, letting out the breath he’s been holding. He feels his back hit the door behind him, holding himself up against it. He doesn’t look at Arthur, just waits.
One breath, two breath, three breath. Nothing.
Merlin opens his eyes, looking up, half expecting Arthur to have disappeared to alert the guards. Arthur is staring at him, he is stock skill, breath coming out ragged and uneven. He looks crushed and not just from expelling his father’s spirit but that must also have contributed to it.
“Arthur,” Merlin tries, swallowing when his voice shakes with the anticipation of Arthur’s reaction.
“Is it true?” Arthur asks, his voice quiet but stern, he still holds the horn tightly in his grip by his side, his knuckles white with the force.
“Arthur I-“
“Yes or no, Merlin,” Arthur interrupts, voice suddenly louder in the empty corridor, he looks Merlin in the eye while he nods wordlessly before looking away, “you-you do. You would betray me? You?”

Summary
Gaius ushers them in. “I was just gathering my things to come check in on you. How are you feeling?”
“Uh, headache. Deeply wrong.” And then Merlin adds offhandedly, “Oh, and like I’ve switched bodies with the Crown Prince of Camelot.”
Or: Merlin and Arthur accidentally swap bodies. This would be a great opportunity for Merlin to relish in making Arthur muck out the stables, if the prat hadn't also gotten Merlin's magic in the exchange.

Summary
The knights had sprung to their feet. Percival and Elyan had pulled him back, while Arthur and Leon stood in front. Lancelot and Gwaine were flanking them, the latter showing none of the alcohol sickness he had been prior.
But Mordred’s eyes were fixated on the wall and the text therein.
The left option stood there, upon the wall, like a tantalizing invitation, a riddle within a mystery; the right option seemed like both a warning and a reprieve from the unknown.
Mordred suddenly found himself unable to breathe.
OR:
After waking up in an unfamiliar and barren room, Arthur and the Knights are forced into solving a mystery which only brings about more questions than it answers. Worst of all, Mordred fears the secrecy of sorcery will only get more jeopardized.

When Uther Pendragon seeks out and begs Nimue to bless him with an heir, he did not realise the consequences would leave him with a dead wife and a son that possesses magic.
Arthur Pendragon has spent his life trying to be the perfect son, the flawless prince, the man his father demanded he become. But deep beneath his armor lies a secret he doesn’t understand, a power that burns in his blood and answers to his heart. A power he’s been taught to fear.
But destiny has other plans. As Camelot trembles beneath Uther’s crusade against magic, a young sorcerer named Merlin arrives with secrets of his own; and an unshakable belief that Arthur’s fate is entwined with the very thing he’s been taught to despise. As their bond deepens, so too does the truth between them, blurring the lines between friendship and something far more powerful.

Summary
An idea that formed from the fact that Merlin was lied to about his heritage. (A heritage that I have tweaked for the sake of this story - a self-indulgent merfolk AU)
.... .... .... ....
Suddenly the doors opened and a haggard-looking Gaius was dragged in next to Merlin and brought to his knees. He was in front of Merlin, though the warlock could still see his face from where he stood.
Gaius started chanting, his eyes glowing, Merlin felt sharp pain from where Gaius’ fingers met his skin; he cried out.
Uther had to put an arm out to keep Arthur in place as light erupted from where they’d been staring. Eyes were averted as the bright beam engulfed Merlin’s frame. When the light faded, Merlin hit the ground with a thud. -

Summary
Merlin was trained as an assassin before he went to Camelot
He was sent to Camelot to kill Arthur
But he obviously didn’t
Because he felt some unknown connection to him
It was their destiny
You know, them being two sides of the same coin and all that
Chaos and magical adventures ensue
Can Merlin keep his magic hidden
Does he even want to? -

Summary
To say Arthur was having a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day was putting it lightly. It started out with the pixie in the pantry, which sounded like one of Gwaine’s inane drinking songs but was in actuality an unmitigated disaster of flour, chaos, flying apples, and wasted pastries…
…
An unfortunate incident with a pixie leads to Arthur and Merlin swapping bodies for a day. When Merlin’s closely guarded secrets surface in the process, it’s up to Arthur to figure out how to proceed. Trust, love, protection, they’re all forms of the same thing, aren’t they? And what of secrets, burdens, and all the lies we keep to ourselves? This is a story about what would happen if we chose to pull off the veil and step, together, into the light.

Summary
It happens gradually. It begins with the repaying of a debt. Merlin saves his life before he even knows him, when all he's seen is a prince with a fragile ego and composure more brittle than dry dirt.
And so Arthur is tied to Merlin.
Devotion is a funny thing, coming from a King.

Summary
Generally when Arthur, or anyone really, hears ‘bad harvest’, his reaction would be more on the ‘Deeply worrying about my people’ side than on the ‘I’m not strong enough for this nonesense’ side
« And I’m telling you, I have not been sleeping with your wife! » Gwaine yells because when is it not Gwaine.
« Lies, lies, lies and lies !! » one of the royal Seamstress’s husband yells back again, as he had been for the past hour.
And Arthur can do nothing if not holding his nose and sigh deeply. Which sadly means he also need to breath in deeply the pissed omega scent of Perceval.
I’m not strong enough for this nonesense.
Or: One of the key herb for scent blocking become unavailable. Shenanigans issue.
