Summary
Arthur always knew that it would be over.
The funny feelings. Stolen kisses in the throne room. Hungry looks at each other. He knew that they were too good to last, good things wouldn’t happen to him. But he was lost in an illusion where he felt loved. He didn’t want to leave that illusion; he only wanted to feel the kisses, the caring touches for a bit longer.
That was what he thought when he caught Merlin using magic. No, no. That would be a lie. The first thing he thought was that Merlin was so beautiful with these golden eyes. How beautiful and cruel.
“I would never hurt you. I never hurt you.”
His voice was shaky, full of emotions. Was there love in that voice, Arthur thought, or was that another lie?
A fic where magic reveal goes wrong in the worst way.

Summary
“Gwaine,” Merlin informed, and he was just teasing Arthur, trying to rile him up about his ego. “Is the whole package.”
“Gwaine has the concentration span of a newborn lamb.” Arthur declared, angry, and Merlin rolled his eyes.
Arthur has an unreadable expression as his eyes dart over to look at Gwaine, then back at Merlin.
He scoffed and grabbed his own sword before marching onto the field, Merlin watching as he dropped his hands off his waist, rolling his eyes exasperatedly at Arthur’s constant peacocking.
~~~
Inspired by that one deleted scene of Arthur defeating all the knights out of jealousy

Summary
A life for a life was the deal for Arthur's birth, what does Uther do when he finds out that the deal was a bit more specific than he thought? Why find the loophole of course! If someone born from magic can't have a child normally... well you just have to find magic that can... or in this case, magic himself!
From mood swings, to weddings, to assassins, to love potions and so much more, Merlin's pregnancy isn't going to be smooth sailing for anyone, especially not for Merlin.

Summary
He saw Arthur burst from the forest, wide-eyed and pale-faced. Sweat plastered his hair to his forehead, and fear locked his expression in its clutches. One hand stretched out as if to grab him. So near and yet so far.
The moment fled. Gravity won, and there wasn't even time for Merlin to cry out as the bandit's weight dragged him over the cliff and into the stormy waters below.
****
When Merlin is hurt during a bandit attack, Arthur finds himself torn between the longings of his heart and his duties to the crown.

Summary
“They say Emrys tamed the great dragon of Camelot and sired the white dragon of Albion-”
“Sired?” Gwaine interrupted “This Emrys fellow is going around siring dragons? How exactly is that happening? Sex with other dragons?” He asked and despite the situation, Merlin flushed. The man in question blinked, looking equally baffled by the question. From the corner of his eye, Merlin could see Arthur pinching the bridge of his nose.
“Uh…I actually don’t know.”
“But you’re Emrys,” Merlin reminded the imposter with a sigh “You don’t remember siring any dragons?”
“I said it was an off day!” The man complained, trying to cross his arms despite being upside down. Merlin took a long breath. Lancelot had already walked away, but that did nothing to hide his howling laughter.
Or
The knights keep hearing various (dramatic) rumors about the great and mighty Emrys. Everyone is such a gossip. Merlin is trying not to have a heart attack. Lancelot is loving life.

Summary
Apparently, the council has nothing better to do than constantly hound Arthur about his love life. When they bring up the topic of finding a queen, Arthur desperately compromises...a compromise that still requires him to accept a lady's favor so that he can fight for her in the tournament. The only problem is the only person whose favor he would accept is Merlin's, but that would be impossible... right?

Summary
“You know,” Merlin said, feeling faint, dizzy and exhausted. “Your kidnapping etiquette could do better. You haven’t even offered me a meal yet.”
“Shut the hell up,” Hugo said, throwing a harsh punch into Merlin’s stomach, making the warlock suck in his breath and cough violently.
--
“What if we are unable to find him?” Elyan asked.
“We’ll find him,” Arthur insisted firmly. Leon and Elyan shared a worried look with each other.
“Sire,” Leon said. “We have to consider the possibility though. And think of a plan of action for if he is not found.”
“He will be found,” Arthur said and Leon’s shoulders fell.
“But, Sire-” “That’s enough!” Arthur shouted and his knights fall silent.
~~~
Merlin was kidnapped and tortured for information about Arthur's plan of attack. Arthur goes a little crazy until Merlin is back where he belongs, and then some things are revealed.

Summary
Arthur hadn’t stirred. His face was peaceful in sleep, utterly unguarded in a way Merlin so rarely saw. Without the weight of duty pressing down on him, without the sharp edges of his arrogance, he looked… soft. Younger.
For a moment, just a moment, Merlin allowed himself to look.Then, something inside him twisted, something deep and old and ancient, something that hummed beneath his skin like magic waiting to be cast.
And then, a darker thought crept in. A whisper of knowledge he had long known but had never spoken aloud.
He could conceive.
----------
After a drunken night leads to an unexpected pregnancy, Merlin struggles to hide the truth, but when Arthur finally learns he’s carrying his child, their relationship deepens as they prepare to face the future together.

Summary
“So let me get this straight,” Arthur said, folding his fingers together as the man in front him awkwardly shifted. “You are under the impression if you win the favor of my servant that you will then win my favor?” he asked and the nobleman shifted again.
“Well, sire,” he said “That is the common consensus among… the chatter.”
“The chatter,” Arthur repeated and his mind flashed to all the kindness Merlin had received from other nobles. Dear God.
Or
Merlin has all of Camelot (and neighboring kingdoms) wrapped around his finger and Arthur is beginning to resign himself to the fact his servant somehow has more power than he does.

Summary
“I wanted to see how you were doing after the earlier… incident.” Arthur began, slipping through the door and shutting it behind him. He lingered a moment to twist the lock in place behind his back before approaching Merlin’s desk. “Morgana really told you off, hmm?”
Merlin rubbed a tired hand over his bearded chin, and Arthur longed to follow the movement with his tongue. “God, you heard that? She tore me to pieces, Arthur. It’s all I’ve been thinking about – I can’t even focus on this bloody paperwork.”
Arthur smirked. A perfect in. “Maybe you need something else to focus on. Something to…take your mind off it all.”
Or,
Arthur seizes the chance to tempt Merlin into finally giving in and letting go.

Summary
"I..." Merlin began, trailing off. Arthur waited. "I, um... You see..." He tried again. Arthur felt another stab of resentment rise as his shoulders seemed to slump in resignation. What had Gwaine done to him? He was about to suggest Merlin speak to him alone when Gwaine's expression went completely blank before turning to look at the prince.
"Ah," He winced and offered a dazzling smile "Hello, your majesty. You caught us at a bad time."
"Have I?" Arthur asked coolly. Merlin blinked - looking Gwaine over warily.
"Yes," The knight continued and gestured between himself and Merlin. "We were just about to have some amazing sex. Right in that alcove actually," He said, nodding a bit towards a nook in the wall behind Arthur. "So, if this isn't anything urgent..." He trailed off. Arthur stared.
He... He had misheard, right? Definitely. For a moment he thought Gwaine had said... No. Absolutely not.
Or
Gwaine learns that Merlin has magic. Arthur learns that Gwaine is hopelessly in love with Merlin.
