Summary
Arthur has tried everything. He’s given Merlin flowers, he's taken the man out on nice walks through pretty nature—because Merlin is in love with plants or something—that he’d tried extra hard to make sure wouldn’t be interrupted by bandits, assassins and such, and he’s even tried to set a do some of Merlin’s chores for him as a show of his helpfulness, though that one hadn’t quite gone to plan. But the man still wasn’t getting it. Arthur needed a new plan, he really did, but he felt as if he was running out of ideas.
Arthur makes Merlin test his food for poisoning. Or; alternatively, Arthur doesn't know how to ask Merlin to sit and eat with him when he's having dinner, so he comes up with a brilliantly idiotic plan.

Summary
“Sit down. Also, please remove the plate from the air.” Merlin does as he’s told—for once—and sit’s in the chair next to Arthur’s, who of which is sitting at the head of the table like normal.
“So, you’re a…”
“A sorcerer, yes.”
“I was going to say an idiot, but sure.”Revealing his magic to Arthur happens in the weirdest, stupidest way, but somehow the idiocy does not end there. He tells his king the truth, maybe minus a couple of details involving people close to him, and then lets the man deal with it in his own time. Merlin's aware he's a unique person, but to think he's that much of an idiot that everything he mentioned—destiny, dragons, coins and such—is a complete lie? Well, that's just insulting.
Or, the magic reveal fic where Arthur doesn't believe how powerful Merlin is because he thinks his servant is too stupid for it to be true.

Or, Merlin saves Arthur from his fate at Camlann. Under any other circumstance he might ask for the rest of the week off. Unfortunately for him, it seems like an arrow in the back will have to do.

Summary
Arthur didn’t much like dying. It was rather painful, and unpleasant, and he didn’t have the energy to move his leg to get the uncomfortable crick out of his knee.
The problem was, it kept happening. Again, and again, and again.

Summary
Months after Arthur learns the truth about Merlin’s magic, their bond deepens in quiet, sacred ways.
In the stillness of shared nights, something begins to change—Merlin cries golden tears at the height of intimacy, unaware of the magic spilling from him.
Arthur says nothing, holding the silence like a vow, until the phenomenon becomes impossible to ignore.
A story of devotion, transformation, and the alchemy of being truly seen.

Summary
For a split second that lasts eons, Arthur exists in that horribly weightless space before gravity conquers, and then he's falling. Distantly, he hears Merlin cry out his name in panic, and then he’s bracing himself for impact.
An impact that never comes.
Silently hoping, begging, for anything but what he knows he’s about to see, Arthur turns his head to look.
And sees Merlin, hand outstretched, and eyes ablaze with gold.
***
Faced with the revelation of Merlin's secret and a sudden internal war between duty and sentiment, Arthur must make a decision that will affect both of their fates. And when Merlin is gravely injured, the time to make that decision rapidly dwindles. Arthur must quickly choose what matters most: the demands of the law, or those of his heart.

Summary
“I can do magic.” Merlin said.
His voice was as frighteningly clear as it was weak, cutting through the cold air of the forest.
The worst part, Merlin realized, wasn’t waiting for Arthur’s verdict. It wasn’t even the certainty, that, no matter how, it would change them, rip them apart, drive a wedge between them and rob them of everything beautiful they had become.
No, the worst part of it all, was how ridiculously little of a secret Merlin had actually revealed in the end. How much of him, still, even now, remained the harrowing mystery he had turned into, somewhere along the way.

Summary
Arthur has a problem. He is now the 'proud' owner of a book of magic.
Arthur was forced to lie to all of Camelot to save Merlin, only to find out that he's been protecting a liar. But hey, just because Merlin owned the book, doesn't mean he's a sorcerer, right? Merlin? He would know.

Summary
As Arthur laid clutching his side with one hand and the hilt of his sword with the other, his only thought was that the golden glow of magic had no right to take up residence in Merlin’s eyes.
It had no right to look so beautiful.

Summary
“I thought you might have some stories.” Arthur says, like this is a perfectly ordinary thing for him to suggest.
“Stories,” Merlin repeats.
“I don’t see any acrobats jumping out to entertain us.”
“Very funny.”
Arthur knocks their shoulders together with surprising gentleness. “Go on,” he goads. “Surely you’ve got at least one good story.”
Or, Arthur and Merlin are trapped by a rockfall. Arthur wants to know about Ealdor. Merlin wants to get out of this without having to reveal his magic.
