You wouldn’t know a good liar if you saw one (that is, after all, the point) by MyFairKatie

Summary
Arthur and his knights can’t go just one hunting trip without getting themselves into a situation like this.
Well, it didn’t seem terrible. Whoever had told the most lies in his life would go through the barrier, answer some questions, and then the sinister smirking woman would just leave them all alone.
It’s just that, well, he wasn’t expecting it to be his servant.

Summary
Arthur had been drunk the day he’d won a small potion in a tavern, and he hadn’t really given it much thought since. The mysterious-sounding lady who’d given it to him said that it was a truth potion of sorts, and that one drop would force the truth out of whoever it was given to. Arthur kept it around, just in case.
He didn’t think he’d ever really need it, but his servant recently made him suspicious…
—
“You know Merlin, you couldn’t keep a secret if your life depended on it!”
“You’d be surprised!”
—
Maybe he’s finally found a use for the potion after all.

Summary
“The force of any magic in its presence will be reversed and magnified tenfold.”
Morgana didn’t confine the enchantment on the amulet to simply healing magic - she didn’t see the need to.
Which was why when Arthur brought the old sorcerer into the room with his father to save his life, he suddenly collapsed to the ground, replaced with a scared eight-year-old child claiming to be Merlin.

Summary
A gift passed down in Leon’s family is now in Arthur’s hands, a gift from a loyal knight. Its purpose: to protect from sorcerers.
Naturally, Arthur accepts the gift.
On an unrelated note, Arthur and Gwaine are FIERCELY protective when Merlin suddenly begins to collapse and faint sporadically, with almost no pattern. They won’t let this go on.
(Wait, does he only collapse when Arthur is in the room? …that’s probably irrelevant.)

Summary
Arthur throwing a banquet for the sorcerers who have helped him over the years to celebrate the legalization of magic is a good idea in theory.
But four of the five people Arthur just asked Merlin to give invitations to are just… different variations of Merlin.
Merlin’s TRYING to explain this to Arthur. But he just. Isn’t. Listening.

Summary
For my Merlin Bingo: Snowed in.
When Arthur and Merlin visit Queen Elena's castle, their stay gets prolonged by un unexpected storm.
It's a cold night and, like all servants when they travel with their lords, Merlin sleeps on the floor next to Arthur's bed.
Arthur feels guilty, Merlin is a cheeky fucker and they're both hopelessly in love with each other. What else is new?...
Or, the author saw a post on tumblr that said that servants slept next to their lord's bed when visiting other castles and she couldn't resist writing about it.

Summary
Arthur finally looked up and frowned at Merlin’s soaked and shivering form.
“You mean to tell me you’ve been out, on the worst storm we’ve seen in years, in the middle of winter?”
He was shaking so much his body ached, he couldn’t feel his fingers or toes.
“Someone h-had to d-do it”
Arthur stared at him, incredulous.
“Where’s your jacket?”
Merlin crossed his arms unconsciously.
“I gave it to Claire. She needed it more”
Now Arthur was looking at him with exasperation and disbelief. Merlin shifted, uncomfortable, and pointed a shaking finger at the dinner tray.
“Your food will get cold, s-sire”
Arthur continued to stare at him, eyes widening.
“My-? For fucks sake, Merlin, come here.”...
In which Merlin cares too much about others (and too little about himself), Arthur is a good prince and he's hopelessly in love with his servant.Series

When I Didn't Know The Answer, I Found It In Your Eyes by ironfamjam for muguetmuse
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
26 Mar 2023

Summary
“It was never supposed to end like this. You were both meant for such happier things.”
“I was always meant to be a tragedy.” Arthur disagrees.
“Dearest darling, you are the king of kings, this will not be your end.”
With Arthur's death comes a single chance to go back to the beginning and save everyone he's ever loved. Seeing home in Merlin's eyes and a hope for a better world in Morgana's, Arthur knows what he must do.
Only bringing magic back to Camelot will prevent the future he knows is coming from happening, but in his way is the only mountain he's never been able to climb; his father won't change for anyone, not even for his son.

There's not a soul alive who knows Arthur better than Merlin does. And there's no one who'll fight harder than Merlin to find the true Arthur when everyone else is content with just the echo of him.

Tell me every terrible thing you ever did (and let me love you anyway) by Stardustwrites17
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
16 Feb 2021
Tags
Summary
“I love you,” Merlin whispered it like a promise, like a prayer.
It was Arthur’s job to protect Merlin, even from himself. So he wrapped his arms around Merlin’s neck, resting his forehead against his. Merlin’s eyes were wide, vulnerable and scared. Arthur swore he would do anything to keep Merlin from being scared ever again.
“Well then, why don’t you tell me every terrible thing you ever did, and let me love you anyway?”...
For my merlin bingo: witch-hunt.
In which a witch-hunt takes place in Camelot, Arthur worries for Merlin's safety and Merlin worries for his secrets.
Arthur knows. Merlin doesn't know he knows.Series

Summary
“Sure” she agrees lightly and Merlin’s shoulders sag and he smiles over at Arthur. They must be somewhat new to this, Isolde guesses, judging by how hesitant that smile is.
But Arthur’s own beam leaves nothing to doubt, so she doesn’t.
Isolde thinks Merlin and Arthur's relationship is very similar to her own with Tristan; so it's high time for those two to acknowledge it. (Don't worry, she will help!)
