Summary
Everyone in Camelot knows Merlin is basically the Queen. The guards bow to him, the servants adore him, and the council refuses to start meetings without him. Everyone's in on it—except Merlin.
Arthur’s just now noticing.
And it’s starting to drive him mad.You can also find this and more (eventually) on my Wattpad account - STAR033

Summary
“I didn’t know!” Merlin’s voice rises in pitch now to match Arthur’s. “I didn’t know what you would do, not at first—”
“And what about after I helped you get the druid boy out of the castle? Hmm?”
Arthur has Merlin there, or at least he thinks he does. Certainly, Merlin deflates a bit, and the strange, heavy atmosphere that had settled over them seems to lighten slightly. But the next words out of Merlin’s mouth are, “So I was supposed to just let you make me leave too? I couldn’t do that, Arthur, I wouldn’t. Not then, not ever.”
“I wouldn’t have sent you away,” Arthur protests before he can think better of it. He’s struggling to hold onto the anger, the betrayal, but in the face of Merlin’s own evident pain, his overwhelming instinct is to make it go away. “I would have never sent you away, Merlin!”
“Why not?” Merlin demands.
“Don’t—” Arthur swallows hard. “Don’t pretend you don’t know,” he goes on, barely more than a whisper. “Not now.”
--
In which Arthur finds discovers Merlin's magic due to Merlin's own bleeding heart, they acknowledge the bond they share, and Arthur realizes that he never had to know about Merlin's magic to truly know him anyway.

Summary
“Well, I’ll be damned!” The old man crowed and tugged Merlin closer “How have you not seen it, Uther? The resemblance is uncanny!” He beamed, ruffling the servant’s hair “Sorry, son. You look like an old friend of ours. Good ole’ Balinor. A member of court before Uther chased him away.” The man snorted and Arthur’s gaze jerked up.
“Balinor?” He asked sharply and turned where his father was taking a sip of his wine “The dragonlord?”
OR
An old friend of Uther’s drops by and notices Merlin looks familiar. Arthur remembers Merlin’s reaction to Balinor’s death and puts the pieces together.

Summary
Basically, it’s a rewriting of episode s05e08 The Hollow Queen. Everything is the same except Gaius tells Arthur the truth, Arthur worries and goes to look for Merlin himself and Merlin doesn’t have to go through another near-to-death experience alone (alone= without Arthur) because Arthur is there to comfort him.
Oh, and Daegal lives.Bookmarked by Itsandromedabe

Summary
Arthur's heart thumped hard in his chest. If Merlin ingested the potion, he would fall in love with the first person he laid eyes on. He would fall in love with Arthur.
Arthur opened his mouth, a warning perched on his tongue. He didn’t let it fall.
