Summary
As a child, Arthur didn’t know why he was kept away from the courtyard.
Or why it so often smelt… like that.
Until one morning, Sir Kay guided him to the balcony he’d only been allowed on sometimes. Only sometimes, because it looks over the courtyard.
His father was waiting for him, holding an arm out to beckon him closer. Arthur rushed in, latching himself onto his father’s side as it was so rarely permitted.
There was a crowd below him; he had never seen so many people in one place.
There was a pile of wood.
He remembers little outside of the way his eyes burned, how he at last understood that smell. He remembers forcing down his supper that night and emptying his stomach in the corridor before he could even reach his room.
Now he remembers it all.
He can’t feel the bruising stones under his knees, hardly tastes the leftover bile coating his mouth.
All he knows is the all-consuming realization that his greatest fear and anguish still holds the throne, even in his heart.

Summary
Honestly, Merlin had thought telling Arthur about his magic, and revoking the old laws would be the biggest obstacles to creating Albion. Really that had all been the easy part. After a few teary, but heartfelt conversations Merlin was installed as the new Court Sorcerer and together they set out to unite all the lands in peace.
Apparently the biggest setback was proving to be their marriage status or lack-there-of. Who knew so many people cared about whether a king or wizard had a spouse?
Well, Arthur has an idea to solve both of their problems, if it doesn’t prove to break Merlin’s heart first. Because how was he supposed to let go after getting a taste of the one thing he’d aways wanted, Arthur’s hand in marriage.
Or my fake-marriage Valentine’s Day special no one asked me for!

Summary
When Merlin's magic is exposed shortly before season 2 starts, the path of destiny starts changing forever. Now on the run with Arthur, Morgana, and Gwen. Merlin hopes to convince Arthur that magic is totally good instead of him and Morgana just being an exception. Morgana, meanwhile, hopes to convince him to usurp his father. As allies are gathered and Arthur realizes the injustice in his kingdom, it looks more and more like he will have to act in a drastic way. A way he dreads.
Meanwhile, Arthur and Merlin are growing closer and closer and might just have feelings for each other. Something they probably should be better about realizing, considering the example of Gwen and Morgana right next to them.
In a land of myth and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom now rests on the shoulders of four, their names: Merlin, Arthur, Guinevere, and Morgana

Summary
When Arthur swayed slightly, Merlin and Freya caught him at the same time. All three stilled.
Arthur huffed faintly and cleared his throat.
“We make each other alive,” he recited softly.
“Does it matter if it hurts?”Freya smiled. Merlin did too, his hand lingering at Arthur’s back.

Summary
It’s been three months since Arthur’s death.
The kingdom tries to move on, but Merlin… he’s still stuck on the day he held Arthur in his arms, unable to accept that he’s lost him forever.
His pain comes to an end when one day, unexpectedly, Arthur comes back from the waters of Avalon.
Trying to solve the mystery of this sudden return, Arthur and Merlin keep protecting the kingdom from the dangers that still threaten it, like the Saxons, whose new leader is ready to conquer the throne on Morgana’s name. It seems like nothing has changed, but everything has: the secret that Merlin was so afraid to reveal to Arthur ends up bringing them even closer to each other. In a Camelot where magic is no longer banned, in a new world where he can be by Arthur’s side without hiding who he is, Merlin finds himself living a dream with the fear of waking up, happy for Arthur’s return but also terrified by the idea of losing him again.
Now that secrets between them are over, Arthur finds out Merlin has done so much more than hide his magic: to protect him he's suffered, sacrificed everything, made difficult choices. He begins to know a side of Merlin that’s new to him, and yet, that somehow he’s always known… and loved. -

Freya tilted her head slightly.
Then she advanced.
Fast.
Blade striking high, then low, then high again, forcing him back a step.
Arthur parried cleanly, adrenaline sharpening everything.
He grinned.
This was not indulgence.
This was not courtesy.
She was fighting him.

Summary
Set after the Battle of Camlann, Arthur is sure his only venture next is spending the rest of his days finally figuring out the mystery that is Merlin. It’s been two years since Merlin’s magic was revealed and Arthur was finally starting to not only tolerate magic in his kingdom but come to accept the fact it had always been there and will always be. But his progress is shaken, however, when he and Merlin are suddenly expected to navigate their way through a new, and perhaps the most challenging, undertaking yet….
Fatherhood.
Basically Arthur and Merlin become parents, a bit unwillingly, through magic and prophecy. But their unwillingness is short lived as becoming fathers forces them to address their own feelings for each other and what it all means for the future of Albion.

Summary
Freya noticed before anyone else.
The hunting patrols along the outer walls doubled.
Not officially.
Subtly.
She saw new bootprints in the northern treeline, too heavy for common foot soldiers. Noble guards.
Messengers rode at hours when the gates should have been quiet.
Horses were changed in private stables rather than public ones.
Supply carts shifted routes.
It smelled wrong.
Not like war.
Like preparation.

Summary
‘What’s going on, Merlin? Why are you… me?’
Lancelot was lying, was his first, quite absurd thought. I do not look cute when I’m confused.«»«»«»
At first, it’s just an ‘inconvenience,’ and although Merlin and Lancelot can’t figure out a way to break the enchantment, at least their bond grows stronger than ever. The snag? It all somehow leads to a discussion about allowing magic in Camelot… and the stakes suddenly get very high.
