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?”

In which Arthur find out from spirit Uther about Merlin's magic. -

Summary
My answer to Tumblr's @merthurmicrofic prompt: Family (Or at least that's how it started off. I'll have to somehow shorten it to fill that prompt.)
I've lost sight of the meaning of "microfic"Merlin, Arthur and his Knights are en route to speak with a Magic encampment, when they're ambushed.
The battle is bloody, and they're going to lose.
Then Merlin does what Merlin does. And Arthur must decide what to do about that.

Summary
The Knights of Camelot love Merlin almost as much as Arthur does, until the Lamia weaves her way into their minds. The Knights don't understand at first why Merlin isn't talking, and it scares them.
Gwaine didn't fall to the Lamia, and Merlin begs him and Gwen not to say anything.
But the loyalty of friendship sometimes requires it, especially when the most worried and confused person in the mix is the King himself, who has a well-known soft spot for his "idiot servant". -

Summary
Merlin knows that Arthur is up to something. It's just what he never expected it to be. Or is it?

Summary
The knights had sprung to their feet. Percival and Elyan had pulled him back, while Arthur and Leon stood in front. Lancelot and Gwaine were flanking them, the latter showing none of the alcohol sickness he had been prior.
But Mordred’s eyes were fixated on the wall and the text therein.
The left option stood there, upon the wall, like a tantalizing invitation, a riddle within a mystery; the right option seemed like both a warning and a reprieve from the unknown.
Mordred suddenly found himself unable to breathe.
OR:After waking up in an unfamiliar and barren room, Arthur and the Knights are forced into solving a mystery which only brings about more questions than it answers. Worst of all, Mordred fears the secrecy of sorcery will only get more jeopardized.

Summary
Arthur remembers how he got the callsign. His leadership qualities, his boldness, bordering on stupidity, alongside his, how Merlin would grow to call it, ‘pratishness’, granted him the callsign ‘King’.
Where were all the king qualities tonight, then?

Summary
Merlin's developed a new interest. A hobby of sorts. As if magic didn't make him enough of an outsider he's found a unique interest in crossdressing. The colors, the fabrics, stitching, and embroidery -- all of it has sparked his interest.
Now bring in the fact the soon-to-be king of Camelot, Arthur Pendragon, has just found out about this and things get messy. Let's see how long Merlin can keep this hobby quiet before everyone else he knows finds about it.

Summary
Merlin and Arthur get into one of their usual squabbles after a quest, Arthur is annoyed at Merlin(per usual), and tells Merlin he can either apologise or he can walk the entire way back to Camelot, Merlin’s petty ass chooses to walk the entire way, effectively also slowing everyone down. Merlin won’t even speak to Arthur on the way back, and honestly, the knights are amused by all of this(though they are more in the background)
(May become multi chapter if anyone is interested in that? Only maybe though)

Summary
Lance swallowed uncomfortably before he looked into Arthur’s eyes and spoke again. “Hunith died two years ago, sire.”
“She’s not dead. She cannot be! Merlin’s mum can’t be dead, I would know…He would have told me if she was!” He tried desperately to assure himself, but the truth he saw in Lancelot's brown eyes broke his heart again.
Or...
Hunith died two years ago, but Merlin only ever told Lancelot.

Summary
Merlin is tired. Magic had been dying for ages, and he'd tried to stave it off but to no avail. So now the apocalypse has descended upon humanity, and he is so, so tired. So in true Merlin fashion he had to do one last stupid thing, but truly, he couldn't possibly harness that kinda power, right? In his last moments he wished for when things were simpler, before things had turned to right shit.
He hadn't expected it to work. What was he supposed to do now? Could he fix everything?

Summary
In an effort to prepare against future attempts on Arthur's life, the knights are sharing their suggestions for ways to kill the king.
Merlin's been lucky enough to observe some experts (and idiots) in real-life attempts, so has his answer ready suspiciously fast.
Really, he's put a lot of thought into it.
