So did anyone else think this episode was the perfect time for a magic reveal? Because I did. Here's a story of how Arthur doesn't kill Uther and gets to keep his correct knowledge on magic. MAGIC REVEAL! (no duh I just said that). Also bromance, because that's my main diet when it comes to this show. AU in case you didn't pick up on that.

"Don't, Arthur. Please." They are the last words he says to you before he's bleeding all over your hands.

Harry and Merlin duke it out for the title of "Most Crapped On." Both have been through insanely angsty times, but what happens when they face off about who's had it worse... with a plethora of fellow characters as an audience and Gandalf as referee?

In the wake of Uther's death, Arthur goes too far in an argument with Merlin and is left to try and pick up the pieces.

Modern/Reincarnation Oneshot. In his universtiy class, Arthur writes according to the assignment - "Memories". All of them. T just because.

His secret discovered, Merlin's punishment is yet unknown.

Arthur and Gwaine rescue Merlin from the clutches of slave traders only to find themselves trapped in a strange castle whose residents have up and vanished. There's something in the castle that's after them, and to make matters worse, Merlin is already injured and can't use his magic. Gen. Friendship.

Merlin is injured in an attack and the knights all worry about their friend. Just a little story that I thought of last night. Not slash.

"The king's voice broke though the haze, ringing loud & clear against Merlin's slowly slipping mind. It was the last thing he heard before he finally unwillingly gave into the darkness." Hurt by the actions of the man Merlin considers his best friend, Merlin puts himself in mortal danger. Guilt-ridden, Arthur does all he can to save his loyal servant before it's too late.

Merlin is stretches himself to much, and suffers as a consequence. One-shot.

A normal hunt with Arthur and the Roundtable Knights goes awry when bandits attack. Post Season 4 reveal-fic. Character death. One-shot. Please forgive me for spelling mistakes. I normally make very few of them, but I'm too lazy to go back, edit, and repost this.

He thought that he had used enough magic to cure himself of the poison before returning to Camelot. But a few days later, and Merlin realises that he was wrong. Spoilers for 5x08.

It started when a few of the servants disappeared. And it didn't stop. It spread-throughout Camelot. Like a plague. Everyone, and everything, started slowly disappearing, but that's not all. Those who remain forget, and for some reason, Merlin is the only one who remembers. No slash. Post s4. Reveal.

What if Arthur or other characters had followed Merlin at various times throughout the series? What if he had heard certain conversations, and how would he react? This is a series of one-shots of how I imagine those scenes would have happened. Will include fighting with Nimeuh, talking with Mordred and arguing with Gilli. Reveal!fic. No Slash. Ideas are appreciated.

As he watches Merlin go through a difficult time, Leon is forced to question everything he knows about duty and responsibility and the places of servants and nobles in society. Set very early in season 1 canon. Rated T for some abuse.

Night fell. Tonight was not a night for living; it was a night for barely surviving. Characters: Gwaine, Pericval, Gwen, Gaius, Arthur, Morgana. Deathfic, oneshot. No slash.

As time passes and Merlin does not return, Gaius has to face the truth. Set post 5.06. implied character death. Ficlet.

The attack had come out of nowhere. The sorcerer wanted someone of noble blood and someone with powerful blood. So why, for the love of Camelot, were Merlin and Gwaine the ones to be taken?

Merlin tries to end his life for unknown reasons. Arthur swears they should have seen some sort of self-destructive signs, but what if there hadn't been any? Contains attempted suicide, mentions of self harm.

...and One Time Arthur Held Merlin.

Arthur doesn't appreciate Merlin, Merlin is sick of Arthur's mood swings, and the boys' relationship is at breaking point. Looks like it's time for some magical intervention to help them understand each other and realise what they've been missing.

Never before has Merlin felt the weight of his destiny so heavy upon his shoulders. The threats to Camelot just keep coming, and Merlin is feeling drained. But things are only about to get worse after a trip to the vaults with Gwaine comes with unintended consequences. Merlin's secret suddenly becomes that much harder to keep. And it isn't long before Arthur becomes suspicious.

Morgana uses the fomorroh to manipulate Arthur into hunting down and killing Emrys. Little do they know the man they are both searching for is much closer than they think … AU of 4x06, 'A Servant of Two Masters'.

"Merlin had to dig his fingernails into his hands 'till they bled in order to drag his mind out of the forests of Longstead and back into Camelot. It was just like the Lamia all over again." Gen, friendship. Tag to 4x08.

What if Arthur sent out a search party to find Merlin before Gwen told him he was with a girl. What if Morgana made Daegal give Merlin the poison. And what if the Knights of Camelot caught him in the act. What will Arthur do to the man who tried to kill his friend?
