Merlin is just a plain white sheet, happily drying on the clothesline, until a gust of wind tangles him with the arrogant blanket next door.

Summary
This is what should be remembered, what people should speak of in a decade, a century, a millennium; the story of a king and his sorcerer, of two men who were never meant to love each other—not like this, never like this—and who never once cared to listen to the odds.
Or, the magic was revealed, the shouting and explanations were done, and yet there remains one secret, one confession to be made. They always were easiest to declare in the light of a fire and only the forest bearing witness.

In which Merlin grieves, remembers, and lives.

among the fields of barley.

Summary
Arthur doesn’t know that with a single whispered word Merlin could summon a flower, a butterfly, a bird. Arthur doesn’t know how it feels to watch something manifest before you from the utterances of your own mouth. Arthur doesn’t know of the simplicity in which magic lives around him, in the air, in the trees, in his own blood.
Arthur doesn’t know that Merlin loves him. Merlin isn’t sure if he ever will.

Summary
“It’s my job to protect you,” Merlin whispers.
Arthur’s brow creases. “At the cost of yourself?”
Merlin gives a crooked, painful smile. “That’s what protection is, isn’t it?”
Arthur doesn’t speak; he doesn’t know how to respond to that, how to even begin to unravel the lifetime of sacrifice tangled in those few words. Instead, he reaches out. Slowly. Gently. Fingers brushing Merlin’s forearm. Merlin flinches, not because he’s afraid, but because the touch is kind.
“Let me help,” Arthur says, voice raw. “Just this once. Let me take care of you.”
It's time for someone to hold what was once hidden.

Summary
Arthur sees more than his father thinks. He sees how cruel the persecution of magic users is. He sees how prejudices destroy the lives of innocent people. He understands that magic is nothing but a tool which can both harm and heal. And, despite the king’s orders and laws, he helps sorcerers. Doing all this alone is a heavy burden, though, but the only person he’d like to have on his side is Merlin.
But Merlin, who twitches every time Uther mentions sorcery, who runs away when Arthur tries to bring up magic, and hides from druids, hates magic almost as fiercely as the king does, and definitely doesn’t want to deal with it, right?
Right?

Merlin has a way about him. Arthur doesn’t know what it is, exactly—he just knows that it’s there, and it’s Merlin, and no one else has a way about them quite the way that Merlin does.

Summary
Merlin's bones don't feel like they fit. His magic is spilling out the edges. He can't sleep.
There are foxes in the night, nipping at his heels.
“I’m afraid you are close to waking, young Emrys.”
***
Self-indulgent and dramatic. If Merlin is too much magic, too much Emrys to be human, that's got to feel a bit fucky.

Summary
But he had to, he had to, whatever they said of his father and whatever shame he felt in so marring his legacy. The deaths could not continue. Magic was not so rare as the nobility wanted to believe. At least a third of Camelot’s population were sorcerers, or had the capability to become so, an absurd number for a kingdom that steadily lost such kinds to execution and magical attacks. It was as though magic was being called here, centered in his kingdom, and he could not fight it any longer.
The Disir had given him a choice, and he stood by his answer. He’d gone in alone before them and left with a new vow.
Magic would be free, and Arthur would honor its gods.

Summary
“Please fire me,” Merlin laughs. “I dare you to sack me for longer than two days.”
“You don’t think I can make it two days without you?” The idea is absurd. As if he needs Merlin of all people.
“You haven’t yet.”

Or: Arthur doesn’t know what the point of his manservant is. (Until, of course, he does.

Summary
“You kept calling me names you would call your romantic partner instead of my title. Like you had mixed the words up by accident.” Merlin looked at him completely baffled. “You’re seriously telling me you have no idea what I’m talking about?” The man shook his head. “I cannot believe this.”
Merlin keeps calling Arthur 'love' in replace of 'lord' and the poor, confused prince cannot tell for the life of him if his servant is meaning to or not.

Summary
“That will be all, thank you, Merlin.”
Arthur’s dismissal is cold, final. His bed still lies unmade, his bath water not poured, his dinner awaiting collection in the kitchen.
Merlin stops in his attempt at undressing him, holds his cape uselessly in his hands. “Arthur—“
“Don’t!” Arthur snaps, hard, dangerous, and Merlin clenches his jaw, swallows hard around the lump in his throat, the heat behind his eyes. “I hardly think you have the right to address me as anything but ‘sire’ at the moment. Now, leave me.”
Or
In the fallout from Lancelot's sacrifice, Arthur's anger shows a new face. If only he and Merlin could both agree on its target. (Aka, magic reveal with a twist.)

Summary
Arthur has always known that Merlin is keeping secrets.
He has known it when Merlin stood up to him in a marketplace, eyes full of defiance and not a shred of fear to be found. He has known it when Merlin swung a mace at him even though it was clear that he had never handled one before, refusing to cower before anyone, prince or not. He has known it when Uther had made Merlin his servant, and Merlin looked as if he would walk out of Camelot right then and there.
From the first day they’ve met, Arthur never wanted anything more than for Merlin to consider him worthy of each and every part of him.
Sometimes, you love despite, not because. Sometimes, finding out does not change anything.

Summary
“Why didn’t you ever tell me?” Arthur asks. For a few seconds, the silence feels like it heralds the rolling thunder—an incoming storm, so destructive it will tear down the castle. Then Merlin grins, and it’s a soft, forlorn little thing, and the thunder never comes.
“Sometimes,” he says, very, very quietly, in a way that Arthur didn’t know Merlin could sound like, “it turns out that fear is a little bit stronger than love.”

Summary
Arthur calls him a daffodil and Merlin laughs.
“You look like a startled stoat,” Arthur complains, and Merlin glances sidelong at him with eyes that look strangely yellowish in the sun.
“You’re such a girl’s—”
“—Blouse, I know,” Merlin says, and grins, canines glinting wickedly in the low light of the fireplace.
It’s only when Arthur finds out that Merlin is a bloody dragon that everything clicks into place.

Summary
Morgana was dead. Her body, once terrible in its beauty and power, lay gutted and lifeless on the bloody battlefield, the prince who had slain her standing triumphantly over her remains. He was speaking, but Emrys barely heard him. Magic still crackled around him, off the tips of his fingers and the ends of his hair. He alone remained standing, untouched by mortal steel or iron, uninjured. He had a clear shot to the prince, but his life would be forfeit if he tried.
“Anybody who yields will not be killed,” the prince announced. “Quarter will be offered to anybody who swears fealty to the crown and agrees to abide by its laws.”
