Summary
"But the sorcerer--the terrorist, the one who hated mundanes. What became of him?" Merlin asked.
“He’s probably dead," said Hunith.
“What did they call him?”
She gathered the fabric of her kirtle in her hands. “Balinor,” she said, looking away. The side of her face that remained facing him was spotted with old, familiar scars, mottling her eyebrow into patches and making her right ear small with ruin. The skin was dragged like rivers over her cheekbone and jaw, a little pale and tough. Merlin loved her, loved this face, though he knew it disgusted the town. But, for the first time, Merlin reckoned he knew just how this had happened to her, just whose fire this was.
And if that Balinor was alive, and Merlin ever happened upon him, Merlin would kill the son of a bitch. -

Summary
For a split second that lasts eons, Arthur exists in that horribly weightless space before gravity conquers, and then he's falling. Distantly, he hears Merlin cry out his name in panic, and then he’s bracing himself for impact.
An impact that never comes.
Silently hoping, begging, for anything but what he knows he’s about to see, Arthur turns his head to look.
And sees Merlin, hand outstretched, and eyes ablaze with gold.
***
Faced with the revelation of Merlin's secret and a sudden internal war between duty and sentiment, Arthur must make a decision that will affect both of their fates. And when Merlin is gravely injured, the time to make that decision rapidly dwindles. Arthur must quickly choose what matters most: the demands of the law, or those of his heart.

Arthur’s little manservant Merlin was a fucking liar, Larkin just couldn’t prove it.
—
The man was dead at their feet.
[...]
“Are you alright?” Merlin asked; eyes wide and chest heaving. He held the sword in his hand awkwardly and his words shook escaping him, but he could not pull the wool over Larkin’s eyes any longer.
Larkin scowled at him. “I knew you’d show your true colors eventually.”Series

Summary
The heavy door of the dungeon cell creaked shut. A burly guard snarled through the thick iron bars before retreating. Laughter echoed down the corridors, cold and mean. Merlin was trapped. His magic was restrained by the unforgiving manacles around his wrists. He'd promised Gaius that he would be careful. Careful hadn’t been enough.

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 choose to pull off the veil and step, together, into the light.

Summary
When Hunith arrives in Camelot with news of an attack, Merlin knows what he has to do. He is perfectly capable of driving away the likes of Kanen’s men by himself; he has been defending Ealdor since he was ten years old.
However, he has no idea of the lengths Arthur will go to to protect his poor, misguided manservant - such as adopting a disguise and following him home.

Summary
"Let him think I hate him. If that’ll stop him from risking his neck for me over and over again, then it’s a sacrifice I don’t have to think twice about."
—
Arthur finds out Merlin has magic. He also finds out how often Merlin risked his life for him and so, he does the only thing he can think of to protect him: banishment.
Hurt and angry, Merlin leaves and swears to not look back.
But, when two years pass and Morgana shows up at Merlin’s door, urging him to fill Gaius’ position as Court Physician, Merlin agrees. He really doesn’t know why, but Arthur is sure Merlin would do just about anything to get on his nerves.
Unprepared for the shock of seeing Merlin back in the castle, Arthur is forced to speed along his plans to lift the ban on magic. But between stubborn councilors, a mysterious plague, a still angry Merlin, and Morgana being Morgana, Arthur is fairly certain he’ll lose his mind before the first year of his reign even ends.

Summary
It was unreasonable of Merlin to doubt Morgana from the start. Why didn't he tell her he had magic, why didn't he help her and support her? Let's try this again, what would happen if Merlin had ignored Kilgharrah's horrendously stupid advice and stood with Morgana like he should, would she become evil? Would Arthur have died?

Summary
Arthur is captured while scouting Cenred's territory and thrown into a dungeon cell. He's not alone—his cellmate is Merlin, a mysterious prisoner who somehow recognizes Arthur as royalty despite his disguise, and who tries to keep spirits light even as he's dragged away daily by guards.
Arthur quickly realizes something is terribly wrong. Merlin is dying, slowly drained by strange manacles and Cenred's hunger for magic. Over days and weeks, Arthur watches helplessly as the cycle repeats: recovery, torture, deterioration. He falls for the strange, brilliant boy who jokes through agony and shields Arthur from darkness.

Summary
She was never supposed to survive.
Escaped from years of enslavement and silence, Eilis is a ghost of a girl with a past carved into her bones and visions she’s never understood—visions of him. The boy with the strange smile. The one who keeps showing up in her dreams like a warning... or a promise.Merlin doesn’t expect the half-starved stranger in Gaius’s chambers to change anything. But something about her feels familiar, like a thread pulling tight. And as the cracks in Camelot deepen, it becomes clear she’s not just another creature to be pitied—she might be the key to everything.
A "weapon they created." A kingdom on the edge of destiny.
Sometimes the one who’s been trapped the longest is the one who knows the way out. -
