Rabbits are a Good Conversation Starter by Woman Of The Book reviews
As requested by Cindy4651: Arthur knows, and deliberately disarms himself, standing far away from Merlin and his own weapons to put Merlin at ease, and tells Merlin he knows about his magic. Merlin is as pale as a sheet throughout most of this fic. Happy ending, more fluff than angst, and practically no whump whatsoever. Takes place after Arthur is King... yep thats about it
