    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins was a great many things. He was the master of Bag End, a wealthy gentle hobbit, the favored grandson of the Thain, son of Belladonna Took, and a renowned scholar within the Shire. In fact, Bilbo had made an excellent name for himself, he was a reputable, if estranged and largely rumored about, member of his community. Bilbo was all of this and more, however, there was one thing he was not. That one thing was a simple matter. He was not a Baggins.

    Summary

    The scholars, historians, and budding scientists of Middle-Earth literally froth at the mouth trying to determine just where new dwarfs come from in a population that seems to be entirely male. Do they spring from holes in the ground? Do they carve them out of stones? Do they have some disgusting and painful sounding process where the men give birth?

    The dwarves aren't talking... They're too busy laughing their butts off over the situation!

    Summary

    "Having been near you all these years, I am not unaware of the goings on of court, or the way you nobles like to do things.” He gives a half smile at that but doesn’t convince himself of his own humor, “I also know… that when a new king comes to power, he inherits his predecessor’s information network. His spies.”

    Arthur leans back, folding his arms and narrowing his eyes, “That’s true, Merlin. I’ve been expecting whomever my father’s last spymaster was to come to me for days now. Do you know who it is?”

    Don’t fidget. Don’t shift your weight. Goddess take you, Merlin, stand still. He clears his throat, “It was Gaius for a long time.”

    The young king relaxes an imperceptible amount, and nods, “He’d have access to everyone, from villager to noble, and friendly relationships with most. Who is it now?”

    Merlin stares at him, then spreads his palms helplessly, “Me.”

     

    Merlin is Camelot’s spymaster and must reveal himself as such to Arthur when he becomes king.

    Summary

    A small ball hovered in her hand, shining with a silver-blue light. It floated there, getting brighter and brighter before dimming again. Wisps of cloud swirled at its center. It was pure magic.
    And the breath was stolen from Arthur’s lungs.
    “I thought you’d recognize it. He said it was warm. He said it reminded him of home.”

     

    It has been one year since Merlin's death when Arthur meets Morgana on the battlefield.
    Somehow, between all the guilt and shame, he discovers that his sister knew Merlin better than he ever did - and ever would.

    Summary

    After a sudden encounter with Morgana, Merlin is severely injured, only managing to survive by calling the Great Dragon. However, he must return to Camelot still affected and somehow hide this from Arthur. But what's another secret on top of so many others?

    Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin, and the whole idea of how Merlin's blindness works is from TA Barron's Merlin series (which is amazing and everyone should read)
