Summary
The gang gets drunk in the woods to celebrate Leon finally being able to convince his father not to marry him off for gain. This leads to a discussion of sexuality in which Percival and Gwaine are so obliviously in love it’s painful and Arthur tries to hide his feeling for Merlin. (Badly.)
Then Merlin accidentally reveals his magic.

Bookmark Notes:
“He would have wanted to tell us sober.” The king said and his friends gaped at him. He was so clam. Why was he so calm?! “Everyone can calm down, Merlin isn’t a threat to us and I am not one to him.”
“You don’t seem surprised sire.” Lancelot blurred out. Arthur turned to look at him with a blank expression.
“This is the third time he’s gotten drunk and accidentally revealed his magic.”
“So you knew?” Elyan asked and Arthur nodded. Gwaine’s eyes grew hard and he looked angry.
The kings agreed. Merlin would want that too, they thought. The group spent the rest of the night drinking laughing and watching Merlin dance shapes around in the fire.
There would be two more instances involving Merlin, alcohol and a magic revival but all of the knights were true to their word to keep silent.
Arthur would, in time, finished the changes to the laws of Camelot and Merlin would reveal himself whilst completely sober. Then, and only then… would the knights take every opportunity to tease Merlin mercilessly over his many drunken confessions.

Summary
Arthur Pendragon was ten years old when he first realized that he had never received a hug. He was fifteen years old when he noticed that even though he was training with the knights almost every day, he wasn’t one of the knights. He was twenty years old when his father decided that a scrawny boy with two left feet was to work as his personal servant. And although Merlin continued to cross every imaginable line between servant and prince, he never touched him.
Arthur Pendragon was twenty-five years old when he first got drunk enough to complain about it all.

“Do you understand me now, sire?” Merlin asked smugly, leaning in so close their lips were hovering over each other. “Or do I need to explain it more fully?”
Arthur swallowed hard. “No,” he whispered back, glancing at Merlin's lips. “I think I understand now.”Series

Summary
"Reverse what exactly?" Arthur pressed now fully in the room with door carefully shut behind him.
"Ah. Well it's kind of an uh intimate problem? No need to get involved I'll figure it out," Merlin stammered out.
By now both men were glancing down at his crotch area with curiosity. Merlin covered it with his hands quickly, a blush growing on his cheeks.

When Arthur nearly dies by Lady Helen's dagger, Merlin uses magic to heal him. Unwilling to see Merlin executed for saving his life, Arthur turns a blind eye—but only under the condition that Merlin take on the role of his servant.

What then becomes camaraderie soon blossoms into much, much more.
Series rewrite.

'There we have it. Violence, intrigue, danger, romance, and self-sacrifice. In a couple of short months, Captain Arthur Pendragon, eldest son of The Most Honourable The Marquess of Camelot, Lord Uther Pendragon, almost singlehandedly dismantled one of the most covert and sinister arms of the Axis Powers’ military forces, ensuring that its leader and the secret weapons she had designed would never again see the light of day. '
OR: The story of a young nobleman who couldn't stand by when his country needed him, and his loyal companion who would follow Arthur to the very ends of the Earth if he had to.

This was all Morgana’s fault, honestly. What kind of person has a brother that looks like that and doesn’t even offer to set him up with her very single, very gay best friend?

Summary
Coming to Camelot from Ealdor is one hell of a culture shock, that’s for sure.
There's just so many things now and Merlin has no idea how to cope with it. Luckily, he's got Gaius and Gwen. They're enough to keep his head above water.
Then there's a feast and Merlin is alone.

Arthur doesn’t have to hold his hand.
He doesn’t have to cut Merlin off by offering his own hand, palm up, waiting patiently.
He doesn’t have to smile when Merlin places his shaking hand in his.
He doesn’t have to cover Merlin’s hand with his other one, drawing it into his lap.
He doesn’t have to cradle it like it’s some precious thing, like Merlin’s some precious thing.
His grip doesn’t have to be tight and the most comforting thing Merlin can remember.
He doesn’t have to stroke Merlin’s hand with his thumb or squeeze back tenderly when Merlin has to double-check if this is real.
He doesn’t have to do any of those things.

Now, Arthur has two choices: ignore the bond and ensuing bad luck, or get very comfortable being haunted by his sarcastic, spectral fiancé.

Arthur thinks the new lecturer in modern Romance languages is disrespectful, infuriating, and gorgeous.
Merlin thinks the department head is a posh, arrogant Classicist, who has no right being so stunning.
But workplace relationships never last, and they don't have a single thing in common, including what languages they speak.
Then again, some things don't get lost in translation.

Summary
Merlin and Arthur met as conservatory students -- Merlin studying cello, and Arthur drama. They went from snarky roommates to inseparable friends, despite their differences, and Merlin started to wonder why being with Arthur made him feel so different than with all his other friends. Unfortunately, when Arthur left for Hollywood, and Merlin's own career took off, they slowly lost touch. Now, Merlin is a world-famous virtuoso and Arthur comes back to London with some surprising news...and a lot of feelings.
Domestic schmoop, fluff, humor, snark-as-a-love-language, smut, and more ensue, and pretty much the whole gang shows up.
Title from famous cellist Jacqueline du Pré: "Playing lifts you out of yourself into a delirious place."

Merlin's magic by CitadelVeilt, MaybeDonut (Theroundbartable), Theroundbartable
Fandom Merlin (TV)
09 Jul 2026
Summary
This is a series based on BBC Merlin.
It's about Merlin's magic and his relationship with Arthur. In as many different ways as I can imagine.
The knights and servants and other characters will also have many appearances. But the main focus will be on Merlin and Arthur.There is no need to read the stories in any order or all of them at all. Each story is it's own idea. They can be read separately.

Summary
“You,” Arthur began pointedly, “are a sodomite.”
In the few seconds it took Merlin to process the linguistic distinction between sorcerer and sodomite his mouth had already jumped two steps ahead of him and admitted, “yes.”
Then, when Merlin finally realised Arthur had jumped to the wrong conclusion, he said again, firmer, “yes! A sodomite. I… like men.”
OR: five times Arthur kisses Merlin, and Merlin gives him an excuse about why he can’t sleep with him + one time Arthur kisses Merlin and he finally tells the truth
