Unfortunately for him, that idiot is also a sorcerer; what will he reveal to Arthur about the truth behind the Great Purge and Magic's Defender?

Starts 5x05. The Disir tell Arthur to allow magic back into Camelot. What if Merlin chooses differently? Would the ending be different? Or just the journey? T for mild violence and possible language.

Arthur overhears a conspiracy to usurp the throne, and his servant is at the heart of it. Would Merlin ever betray him? What other secrets might he be hiding? One shot (possible future two-shot). No slash.

Merlin and his eyes met again. "Sorcerer." Merlin's were filled with nothing but fear. Arthur's first instinct was to kill the sorcerer. Magic reveal. Immortal!Merlin. Prat!Arthur.

Prompts I found that work especially well for the Merlin universe. 1) What might have happened if Balinor had been present for Merlin's birth. 18) Vignettes of the growth of Merlin & Arthur friendship. 26) The forest has unique perspective on events it witnesses. 29) Arthur opens his eyes about his wife's behavior and doesn't like the conclusion he comes to. End of S5x8

Arthur reacts badly to Merlin's revelation and quickly regrets it, but not quick enough. How does one find an all powerful warlock who doesn't believe he deserves to be found?

AU: Growing up in the castle of Nemeth as the son of the royal physician, Merlin became close with Princess Mithian. When his magic was becoming too much to handle, he had to go to Camelot to learn from his uncle Gaius. It's been years since he last spoke to Mithian and now she was coming to Camelot. To marry Arthur. Merthian AU

Merlin definitely preferred the time when Arthur hadn't known about his magic.

"You just have to sort of spell it out with Merlin," Guinevere says. "I mean, he didn't even get it when I kissed him-" / "You kissed Merlin!" Arthur squawks.

They were friends, right? They'd fought alongside each other, hadn't they? He had saved Gwaine, and Camelot, time and time again. Right? So why couldn't he remember the young man named Merlin? Did he want to remember? And what about everyone else? And what if it was too late? Rated T. No slash. Reveal fic.

Arthur has just seen his manservant use magic to save his life - so can it really be so evil as he's always been led to believe? An AU of 4x06, in which Arthur sees Merlin use magic to cause the rockfall. Reveal!fic.

Arthur falls under the effects of a love potion. Merlin has a headache.

"I want to tell you something I've never told you before... Thank you." It's been fifteen hundred years since those words were spoken, and his friend's deaths still weigh heavily on Merlin's mind. But after all those years of waiting, trying, suffering, they've finally returned. Not just Arthur, but all of them. Even Morgana. And something is horribly wrong. Future fic. No slash.

Morgana has Merlin, and his secret is out. Will Arthur be able to save him in time? Now that his friend's true powers are revealed...will he still want to? I do not own Merlin.

"I said I was dying." Arthur sighed."I don't have time for this." "Would you have had time to retrieve my corpse?" Merlin thought, then nearly smacked himself when Arthur's expression made him realize he'd spoken out loud. Could Merlin have told the truth if Arthur had been willing to listen that morning? What would that mean for their future? For Morgana's?

A continuation of my previous fan fiction "Charlie and his uncle" set about 12 years post season 4. Something strange is happening to Charlie, Lucifer's nephew, and it is not the usual teenage hormones... Includes demons, fighting and some Deckstar romance.

Merlin is the most powerful warlock to ever walk the earth...but even he is not immune to sorcery. When all of the sorcerers in the area are enchanted to attack Arthur and Camelot, can Merlin hold onto himself? Or is he the most dangerous of them all? Magic reveal! FINALLY COMPLETE.

Merlin and Morgana have always been opposites just as much as they are alike. Their bond was forged before they could even breathe after all.

Arthur has always taken both his own royal lifestyle and his manservant for granted. Then a certain incident with a witch puts him quite literally in Merlin's shoes, and Arthur finds himself faced with several unwelcome truths.

It wasn't that Arthur didn't believe Merlin. It was more that he had only ever seen magic used for evil, and a lifetime of brainwashing from Uther wasn't about to fade overnight. How was he supposed to change his views for one man, especially when he had seen Merlin use his magic for bad as well?

Merlin had secrets, and Arthur knew nothing of them, until, slowly, he did. In which Arthur slowly unravels the mystery that is Merlin, and begins to realize just how much he doesn't know.

Merlin thought his Soulpoetry, a "two sides" inscription on his sternum, was about his life, trying to hide his magic all the time. Arthur thought that his Soulpoetry, an "of the same coin" scrawl on the base of his fingers, referred to the fact that he led a very dull Pendragon life. Merthur, magic reveal fic, soulmate au where Soulmates complete each other's Soulpoetries.

Merlin always refuses to share his waterskin with anyone. The knights find out the hard way that Merlin has a VERY good reason for this. One-shot. Not a magic reveal.

Arthur has a truth serum, Merlin lies more than he tells the truth. Who else would Arthur use it on?

"What do you want, Merlin? . . . Sorcerers always want something and they usually say what it is once they've revealed themselves. . . Which is it, Merlin? . . . Revenge or power?" In which Arthur questions Merlin's motives once he discovers his magic. Reveal fic. Gen.

Merlin has the unique ability to say exactly what Arthur needs to hear, and what Arthur really really wish he hadn't said. (Merlin/Arthur fic set right after Merlin's "People should marry for love, not convenience" speech in 3x06- The Changeling)

"Will you kindly stop knocking me out, Merlin!" Or, in which Arthur has an overactive imagination (or else excellent deductive reasoning) and gets tired of having branches dropped on his head. Reveal!fic of sorts. No slash.

"Merlin," Arthur whispered, horrified, "your eyes!" It didn't take Merlin long to realize that his eyes were glowing.

It is his destiny to wait for the Once and Future King to return to Albion. Merlin knows that. It doesn't mean he has to be happy about how long it's taking.

Merlin sits on the side of the bed. 'Arthur,' he says. 'Are you sick? ' Arthur huddles in the bedclothes. 'Throat hurts,' he croaks, and swallows painfully. (Arthur is sick, and Merlin takes care of him. But Arthur wants something more, and he won't say what it is.) Arthur/Merlin, canon era, sickfic.

"Arthur sat frozen on the ground. He couldn't move, couldn't think of how. It wasn't magic. It wasn't because of his wounded leg. It wasn't even fear. It was absolute shock." My version of the reveal.

Arthur finds out Merlin's secret in the worst possible way. Set after 4x08 with the premise that Lamia incited the knights to greater violence than we saw on the show, and Merlin suffers from Post-Traumatic-Stress. Reveal fic, no slash.

Set after 1x13. When Arthur learns he is of magic, he decides it's time to grow out of Uther's shadows.

No one notices servants, a fact some take advantage of . . . And some are starting to regret. Set S4, post Lancelot du Lac. Partial reveal - now full, no slash, twoshot, don't own.

This is a collection of cute Merlin/Arthur Bromance one-shots. They take place during the Golden Age, which means Merlin is Court Sorcerer and Arthur the Once and Future King. No slash intended :)

Book cover by chibichiii

No one ever saw him, but everybody knows and fears him: He is the Thief, the Shadow, the Phantom, Emrys. And Prince Arthur has sworn to kill him. At least before destiny turns everything upside down...

Post 5x03. "Merlin's eyes were wide with pain. 'Arthur,' he gasped. He brought his hands to the sword's hilt in a weak attempt to push it away. 'I am so sorry,' Arthur said, driving the sword deeper." Determined to save Merlin's life, Arthur and the knights set off on a quest to change the future. Reveal. Friendship. Whump.

Arthur looked up at the sky, trying to hide his wet eyes. The left half of Merlin's chest was covered in a big purple bruise, with five puncture wounds in the center, blood oozing out slowly, but constantly. "I've seen worse. I've definitely seen worse." AU to 4x06. Rated T for character deaths. Reveal!fic. No slash. Some Arthur/Gwen and Merlin/Freya. Mentions of Gilli/Sefa.

An alternate ending to the finale (5x13) in which a certain main character isn't killed before his time. Arthur and Merlin take the first step in rekindling their friendship after the reveal of Merlin's magic. Maybe things wouldn't have to change quite as much as Arthur had originally thought, and, perhaps, that which did change wasn't necessarily for the worse. No slash.

So did anyone else think this episode was the perfect time for a magic reveal? Because I did. Here's a story of how Arthur doesn't kill Uther and gets to keep his correct knowledge on magic. MAGIC REVEAL! (no duh I just said that). Also bromance, because that's my main diet when it comes to this show. AU in case you didn't pick up on that.

One-shot: Many years ago, a recently knighted Sir Leon was forced to make a difficult choice; a small act of mercy that would, in time, save them all. Pre-series semi-AU.

Arthur didn't react as one would think he would. He didn't start screaming at Merlin for lying to him for years. He didn't even call the guards to take him away. He simply stood there, staring at his manservant, blinking far more than was necessary. ONE SHOT!

He didn't know how long he held this connection, pouring his magic into Arthur's body and soul, but when he next looked down, Arthur's wound was completely gone. Finally, gasping, Merlin wrenched his hands away from Arthur, whose eyes flew open. They were glowing gold. (T for some gore.)

sequel to Burning Bridges- "This hill is a sacred place. Do not cross into that ring, and warn the people away. They must not interrupt the work of the gods..."

Fury destroys lives. It clouds judgement, ruins friendships, and can make a person do horrible things he may regret for the rest of his life. Merlin was always taught to control his temper, and taught never to enrage anyone else if he could help it. But this time, fury was the only tool he had to save his king. Whatever it took, he would save Arthur.

When Mordred and Morgana suddenly appear, reborn, his loneliness and despair draw him to the bargain they offer: the end of his immortality for Excalibur.

An AU. Gaius has just told Merlin that the Dragonlord, Balinor, is his father, but what happens when the Great Dragon turns up, demanding that Camelot hands over Merlin? Chaos ensues and someone must make the ultimate sacrifice if the future is to be saved. A bit dark. Definitely a T.
