Summary
“Mordred, right?” Arthur asked, kneeling in front of him. The boy nodded, eyes wide as he looked at Arthur as if he might bolt at any moment. “What are you doing back in Camelot? My father won’t like seeing you again.”
“He’s hurt.” Mordred whispered and Arthur glanced over at where Merlin was unconscious. A sudden realization dawned on him.
“You healed him,” He said slowly “With magic.”
Mordred nodded. Arthur’s mind raced – thinking of all Merlin had survived in his encounters with bandits and sorcerers. Before he could ask if Mordred had been responsible for all of it, there was a groan as Merlin shifted, eyes flickering open.
“Arth – you!” He choked, sitting up quickly to grab Arthur’s arm as if he could yank the prince away. Mordred grinned.
“You’re awake!” He beamed and launched forward to hug him. Arthur watched as Merlin stiffened at the action – eyes widening before desperately trying to push him away.
“Arthur. Arthur, get him off of me-”
Or
After sneaking Mordred out of Camelot, he occasionally returns to make sure Merlin is doing okay. Arthur isn’t sure why this child is so concerned about the wellbeing of his servant… Nor Merlin's vehement attempts to ignore it.

Summary
Gwaine scoffed as he crossed his arms over his chest, chin jutted out as he resolutely shook his head.
"No way. We can handle ourselves without Merlin for two days...Well, some of us can." He clicked his tongue with a nod towards the other three. Leon frowned.
"What are you trying to say?"
"That we didn’t grow up with servants," Elyan snorted "I know it’s a scary thought but...we can actually survive a hunt without Merlin’s stew." He said. Gwaine gasped in fake shock.
"We don’t need a servant," Arthur piped up immediately, chest puffing out in defiance "Hell, with how Merlin is, I’ve pretty much been without a servant for years!"
"Great!" Percival said and jerked his head "Then let’s go."
Or
The knights go on a hunt without a servant because Merlin is sick. Obviously it goes fantastic.

Summary
"I..." Merlin began, trailing off. Arthur waited. "I, um... You see..." He tried again. Arthur felt another stab of resentment rise as his shoulders seemed to slump in resignation. What had Gwaine done to him? He was about to suggest Merlin speak to him alone when Gwaine's expression went completely blank before turning to look at the prince.
"Ah," He winced and offered a dazzling smile "Hello, your majesty. You caught us at a bad time."
"Have I?" Arthur asked coolly. Merlin blinked - looking Gwaine over warily.
"Yes," The knight continued and gestured between himself and Merlin. "We were just about to have some amazing sex. Right in that alcove actually," He said, nodding a bit towards a nook in the wall behind Arthur. "So, if this isn't anything urgent..." He trailed off. Arthur stared.
He... He had misheard, right? Definitely. For a moment he thought Gwaine had said... No. Absolutely not.
Or
Gwaine learns that Merlin has magic. Arthur learns that Gwaine is hopelessly in love with Merlin.

Summary
Arthur caught his sorcerer’s eye again. “If Emrys did have a simple, human identity, you wouldn’t have any suspicion who it could be, at all?”
“I wouldn't, I’m afraid.” Merlin shrugged one shoulder, seeming somewhat defeated. “I’ll look into it.”
Once, years ago, Arthur had been sure he could tell when Merlin was lying through his teeth. How frustrating it was to know that couldn’t be further from the truth.Or: In a fixed-it post-canon, word begins to get out about the godlike sorcerer Emrys who will aid the Once and Future King to unite all of Albion. This, of course, results in all the leaders of Albion beginning their attempts to win the elusive Emrys’ favor, in order to be chosen as his prophesied King.
Even as his Court Sorcerer, Merlin lives to antagonize Arthur and decides to inform the world -as Emrys- that he has already chosen his King, in a... less-than-conventional way.(Can be read standalone from the series.)

Summary
In his grief, Merlin makes a deal with fate. He can save everyone in Camelot---right from day one. He is sent back in time, remembering everything that has happened, in the hopes of rewriting his own story.
-
He looks around, surprised and more than a little lost. No, this is definitely Camelot, despite the fact that he'd been nowhere near mere seconds ago. A voice speaks, and Merlin realizes three things at exactly the same time.
1. This is a much younger, although still very familiar, version of Camelot.
2. Uther Pendragon is alive, and is unfortunately the one talking.
3. Merlin is much shorter. That might just be the worst of the three. -

Summary
"He's just a servant."
"He is mine!"
"No." Uther took in Arthur’s unrepentant claim and stormy gaze, and a chill swept through him. "No, Arthur, tell me you didn't."
Dragon blood ran through the Pendragon line. Not enough to taint them with the evil of magic, but to carry through and amplify draconic traits in their human nature that made them better, sharper. It also drove them to hoard one thing above all else. Uther had chosen well to hoard power, but Arthur -
Arthur couldn't have chosen people as his hoard. He'd taught his son better than that.

Summary
Arthur’s heart dropped to his feet. “It’s too hard, Gaius. I can’t do it anymore.” Arthur had never heard Merlin in so much pain before. Not when they’ve been attacked or kidnapped or almost killed. But that, it sounded like Merlin was choking on his own cries, on his own tears, and it took everything Arthur had for him to not ram the door open in that moment. “I can’t keep lying to him. I can’t keep doing this to Arthur!”
Merlin and Gaius were always so busy running around the citadel trying to stop assassins and sorcerers and everything else in-between that they often forgot other people were around. Whether it was the fact that their door being closed didn’t suddenly mean no one would ever be able to hear them, or the fact that talking loudly in a hallway wasn’t a secret place, the two of them seemed to give out more of their treason acts than they knew.
With the Guards and Knights of Camelot stumbling across these two men in various stages of illegal activities, just how long can Merlin stay off the pyre and keep his head? And just how long will it be until it’s Arthur himself who overhears one of their conversations about all the ways they break the law?
