Characters: Merlin, Uther, Arthur

Time Frame: Season 1 "Le Morte d'Arthur" when Merlin is trying to heal Arthur

Summary: Merlin's magic is seen by the last person he wants to know about him.

Let's Go On An Adventure


Merlin knew that the king could walk in at any second, but he was too desperate to save Arthur that he did not put away the spell book. He threw his hands over the wound, pouring all of his magic into his attempt to save the prince. It was all for naught, and the doors slammed open. Merlin didn't jump back even as Uther strode into the room.

An uncontrollable rage burned through the grief. "You-" Uther pointed a finger at him, but Merlin didn't move.

"Please, let me save him," Merlin urged. By some miracle, Uther obliged.


So I went a bit of a different route this time around so that Uther isn't immediately baying for Merlin's blood. I don't know what happens after they find a way to save Arthur, but for now Uther's letting him do the magic. I guess that's okay, I guess?

Next: a future knight's name is mispronounced.
