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
This is what he’d been waiting for, this is why he’d suffered centuries in an odd sort of stasis. He’d seen the rise and fall of empire after empire, felt spikes in magic and heard whispers of legend that were so close to the real thing he’d nearly deluded himself into believing it time and time again, but nothing had felt quite like this. After an entire millennium of waiting, the King had returned.
Or: Harry Potter is the fated Future King of Camelot and Merlin isn't about to let him grow up in Surrey with no knowledge of magic. What results is a Harry who's much better trained and much more well equipped to dive headfirst into chaos and a Merlin who remembers what it's like to care.

Summary
Merlin remembers, sort of.
He recalls the panic and chaos of the battle, the dread of realising Camelot’s forces were vastly outnumbered, of knowing innately what had to be done even though he couldn’t name it. He remembers locking eyes with Arthur, seeing the moment his king registered what must have been an expression of grim apology on his Court Sorcerer’s face. The widening of dismayed eyes, the alarmed, half-formed forbiddance on his lips, and it all gets a bit muddled after that.

Summary
“One of my girls mentioned she saw a new face at the market today. A pretty boy looking for employment. I have a proposition for you, if you want to accompany me inside,” the woman said.
Her voice was warm and her smile almost motherly. It made Merlin ache for the comfort of his home. He looked at her uncertainly. Merlin may have had a sheltered upbringing in his small farming village, but he could imagine what kind of work she had to offer him, and he wasn’t sure he wanted it. Still, he stood up, shaking slightly from hunger and exhaustion. There was something in this woman’s eyes that compelled Merlin to trust her.

Summary
The day began like all other. Arthur groaned as he stretched on his pillow, the faint glow of the sun peaking through the closed curtains of their bed. He yawned as he turned to his left, gazing upon the black hair which was the only thing visible from his husband hiding underneath the blanket. He smiled as he turned over to just look at Merlin in the quiet moments of the morning, belonging just to them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The words got stuck in Arthur's throat as he watched his sister's face pale, her expression morphing into disbelief and panic.
“Morgana, what—?”
He couldn't finish, because she clenched her fists and the nearest barrel caught flames from nothing. Her green eyes emitted lightning, flashing gold, like the embodiment of heavenly fury. She waved her hand, extinguishing the fire she caused, then turned towards him.
“It was Merlin,” she said, voice cold as ice. “They can't find Mordred.”

For the first time, Arthur sees magic not as a weapon, but as part of the woman he loves. Their bond deepens, even as the shadow of destiny presses closer.

Yet the greatest revelation lies not in vengeance, but in blood. Merilyn’s long-buried secret, her son emerges into the light. His existence changes everything: for Merilyn, for Arthur, and for the destiny of Camelot itself. Whispers of the boy ripple through the Old Religion, binding his fate to the same prophecy that foretells Arthur’s rise and Merilyn’s sacrifice. Allies will question her loyalty.

Summary
He reaches forward, careful but determined. Darkness gives him no guidance, but his King does instead. Arthur’s hands close gently over his. “Here,” he murmurs, guiding him. He leads Merlin’s fingers up, toward his shoulder. “The clasp.”
His fingertips brush leather, then metal, then the warm skin at Arthur’s throat. He feels the steady, living pulse beneath his touch.
His fingers slip once, then again. Merlin exhales a quiet, frustrated laugh. “I’ve done this a thousand times.”
“A million,” Arthur corrects, fond.
“And yet,” Merlin mutters, trying again.
In which Merlin is injured in a battle and loses his sight.
