Summary
Merlin has magic,” Uther’s words hit Merlin like a ton of bricks, the spirit disappearing as if it was never there.
Merlin closes his eyes, letting out the breath he’s been holding. He feels his back hit the door behind him, holding himself up against it. He doesn’t look at Arthur, just waits.
One breath, two breath, three breath. Nothing.
Merlin opens his eyes, looking up, half expecting Arthur to have disappeared to alert the guards. Arthur is staring at him, he is stock skill, breath coming out ragged and uneven. He looks crushed and not just from expelling his father’s spirit but that must also have contributed to it.
“Arthur,” Merlin tries, swallowing when his voice shakes with the anticipation of Arthur’s reaction.
“Is it true?” Arthur asks, his voice quiet but stern, he still holds the horn tightly in his grip by his side, his knuckles white with the force.
“Arthur I-“
“Yes or no, Merlin,” Arthur interrupts, voice suddenly louder in the empty corridor, he looks Merlin in the eye while he nods wordlessly before looking away, “you-you do. You would betray me? You?”

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 Hunith arrives in Camelot with news of an attack, Merlin knows what he has to do. He is perfectly capable of driving away the likes of Kanen’s men by himself; he has been defending Ealdor since he was ten years old.
However, he has no idea of the lengths Arthur will go to to protect his poor, misguided manservant - such as adopting a disguise and following him home.

Summary
In which Merlin is immortal, used all of his free time to do things because he'd go crazy otherwise and got filthy rich like an old vampire without meaning to, hung out with Shakespeare and a bunch of other people because why not, got gifted a pretty Cadillac that he hates by a charity he'd forgotten he'd donated to, and has a too-high alcohol tolerance for his liking.
Oh, and he bought Avalon Lake.
Because "Shut up, I just like looking at this lake and no, I don't need help, mental or otherwise."

Merlin can't always use magic to protect Arthur and Camelot, so throughout Merlin's decade spent by Arthur's side, the knights of Camelot teach Merlin a thing or two about holding his own.
Or, 5 times a background knight teaches Merlin a different fighting skill, and the 1 time Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table find out (in the coolest way possible, of course).

Summary
Change is for the young, they say. Arthur and Merlin struggle to build their dream of Albion while facing old enemies from within, and a new enemy on the horizon threatens to destroy everything. Consequences for a choice made long ago rear. Are they strong enough to stand united, or will they falter?
Season 2 of The Bond Series (I have fixed and reposted Season 1- I suggest you read that first, or this season won't make much sense). Note, you'll see each "book" in this season titled as an episode- make's it easier to follow the timeline, I think. For those who wished for less Merlin Whump and more Arthur- I have failed you, deeply :( I did make efforts to respect the "I wish Merlin was conscious more" requests!Series
