A letter from Merlin to Arthur

Summary
Arthur is five years old when his father decides he’s old enough to bear witness to his first execution. He sees two people he cares about burn, and it’s his fault that they are dying. He vows to never use his magic again, because he has seen first hand the damage it can do. So he locks it away, deep inside himself, and tries not to think about the incessant humming in his veins.
What if Arthur had magic, too?

Summary
"Yeah," Merlin started, "no thanks."
The entire court froze.
"I'm... sorry?" The Wicked Villain of the Week™ was flabbergasted from where she sat on the throne.
"You had better be." Merlin scowled. "Come back in four days."
The sorceress stared blankly at him. The members of the court were looking at him like he'd grown a third head. The knights were watching in slack-jawed dumbfoundment. Gwaine looked like he was about to jump in even though he had no idea what Merlin was saying. Lancelot most definitely regretted waking up this morning, and Leon was just tired.
"I don't think you understand what's going on here," the sorceress began when she regained her composure.
"No, I don't think you understand that we have already met this week's quota for magical shit hitting the fan. As I said, come back next week. Or, you know, never, but that's always 'too much to ask'."

Summary
For clarification, he asks “Prince Wilhelm? Simon, did you just say you used to be in love with Prince Wilhelm?”
Simon doesn’t hesitate to answer.
“Oh yeah, I wanted to marry him and everything. I had one of his posters on my bedroom wall for like a year when I was 15, right before I started high school. I took it down before I started Hillerska, but I’m sure it’s still in some box somewhere. His hair is so shiny, have you ever noticed?” He asks, as if he’s not just upended Wilhelm’s entire existence.
He knows he shouldn’t let this continue, Simon’s drugged out of his mind and doesn’t know what he’s saying and none of it might even be true, so he responds with “Simon, you know that I’m Prince Wilhelm, right?”
or: when Simon has to get one of his wisdom teeth removed, Wilhelm doesn't hesitate to offer his help. It definitely has nothing to do with the fact that he's been in love with Simon for years.

Summary
Of all the ways Arthur and the knights could've found out about his magic, Merlin hadn't thought it'd be due to a sparrow. There will be a happy ending, but it's gonna take a while.
"Arthur was terrified when he saw Merlin make up his mind to jump. He put on a burst of speed, willing his body to give everything he had so he could just-reach out and….He crashed at full speed into the warlock, knocking them both out of breath, but most importantly, far away from the edge of the ravine. Merlin fought him, kicking and clawing for escape, but it was clear that whatever had fueled him for so long was gone, and eventually the kicking and punching and shouting was gone, and Merlin wept in Arthur’s arms, trembling hard.
“Sorry, so sorry, so so sorry. ‘M so sorry, Arthur,” he sobbed desperately, and Arthur held him close, heart racing and eyes wet. “I’m so sorry, please don’t burn me. I’m so sorry. I didn’ mean to, I was born with it.” Merlin cried, and Arthur shushed him gently."
A huge thanks to the remarkable artists who have been generous enough to bless me with their work. xoxo
