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

How about we force the child to watch an execution (no one but Uther Pendragon said) by TheArchbishopOfCanterbury

Summary
“There’s an execution tonight. A sorceress was caught this morning.”
“Okay…” Merlin hesitated, brows furrowed. Of course he hated to hear about another sorceress being caught, but he couldn’t quite grasp why Arthur was so up in arms about it. “Isn’t that a good thing?”
“What- Yes! Of course it is, but-” Arthur inhaled loudly, eyes going unfocused for a moment before settling on Merlin, hard and intense. The hand he still had on Merlin’s shoulder tightened its hold. “The King thinks it is time for Willow to witness her first burning of a sorcerer.”
Merlin felt as if he’d been hit by a brick. Reeling, he shook his head, trying to grasp what Arthur had just thrown at him.
“Willow?”
Or: Uther thinks making children watching people burn alive is good good for them. Evidently, it's not.

Summary
We all know how a small twist of fate can redesign the way a story is supposed to go. How one small act can reform reality into something almost unrecogniseable.
So what would happen, if through one of these miniscule changes, Merlin never becomes Arthur's manservant? What if these two sides of the same coin, oblivious idiots, are never forced into close proximity to one another? What if, bound by fate, they live parallel lives within the walls of camelot
Will destiny rewrite itself? Or force itself upon us?
Or
Arthur falls in love with the physician's apprentice without being made aware of that fact himself. Merlin is just trying to prove the stupid dragon wrong. Gwen was not prepared for any of this, and Morgana is happy to cause chaos. Leon technically did sign up for this, but in his defense, he didn't read the fine print. Gaius is desperately clinging on to the last remains of sanity in Camelot.
Oh, and did I mention that there's a 'mysterious' sorcerer offering Uther unwanted advice? Because that happens too.

Summary
The horse that might not be an actual horse cranes its neck all the way around to - seemingly - stare at Merlin. It’d be quite funny to watch, actually, if it wasn’t for the clear, conscious contact of its milky eyes. Or Arthur’s hand being stuck to it. Or its voice.
“Oh. This is interesting.”

Summary
Gaius ushers them in. “I was just gathering my things to come check in on you. How are you feeling?”
“Uh, headache. Deeply wrong.” And then Merlin adds offhandedly, “Oh, and like I’ve switched bodies with the Crown Prince of Camelot.”
Or: Merlin and Arthur accidentally swap bodies. This would be a great opportunity for Merlin to relish in making Arthur muck out the stables, if the prat hadn't also gotten Merlin's magic in the exchange.

Summary
Five years after the battle of Camlann, King Arthur devises a challenge: whoever can enchant him to hand over his mother’s sigil is to become Court Sorcerer of Camelot. To most sorcerers, it is an impossible, undecipherable task.
But to one sorcerer, it is a clear message: come home.

Summary
Merlin can’t remember the last time he’s locked his bedroom door, if ever. But he chooses not to think about it. He merely sulks his way back to his bed, taking a moment to contemplate taking off his trousers and tunic from the night before. He decides not to think about that either.
Instead, he decides not to think at all. He just falls back into his bed, covers up his body more so in shame than for warmth, and closes his eyes.
Basically Merlin is sexually assaulted and this story follows how he and everyone else deals with it.
Spoiler alert: THEY DON'T HANDLE IT WELL.

Summary
Arthur’s love for Merlin is trying to kill him.
It started after Merlin showed him his magic. It began as a small cough and Arthur thought nothing of it…not until Merlin was finally named Court Sorcerer, his new robes blue with butterflies around the trim- the same butterflies he always loved to conjure- and Merlin was standing there giving Arthur the happiest smile he’d ever seen on the man…That night, with Arthur’s heart at its fullest, he began coughing up blue flower petals.
