Summary
Three moons ago, the knights found out about Merlin’s magic, and all is well. They have inside jokes now. Sure the ban hasn't been discussed, but Merlin doesn't have to lie to his friends anymore, and that's all he can focus on now.
OR
Did they really find out?

Summary
When Arthur and his knights are led into a trap and captured on Dyfed’s territory, Gwen is prompted to invoke the right of single combat. But, when Dyfed’s chosen champion is revealed to be a powerful sorceress, Merlin must once again take on the guise of Emrys to fight for Camelot, and discover just how much he is willing to sacrifice for his friends.
“It had never been the dragon’s prophecy he believed in so fiercely– it was Arthur. If Arthur died here, it would be like losing a part of himself. He would forever be incomplete. Severed. Merlin would remain frozen in time.”

Summary
Loneliness is an insidious thing. When Merlin looks at Arthur, he sees not just a prince waiting for his time to rule, but a young man struggling to find his place in the world, with little help from anyone else.
The truth is, Arthur needs more than the friendship Merlin can offer. He needs people he can trust: men and women who will become his court and his confidants, and if he is going to survive to take the throne and lead Camelot into its golden age, he needs them sooner rather than later.
Finding loopholes in Uther’s laws is no easy feat. Court life is a dangerous game, but it’s one Merlin has every intention of winning so that Arthur can have knights of his choosing by his side.
And then there is the matter of his magic…

Summary
Arthur Has Returned. Magic has come back to the world. And just as Merlin and Arthur are preparing for their wedding, an ancient foe strikes at Arthur from within. (In more ways than one) as they try to face this new threat, Merlin starts to reel, realizing that Arthur being immortal now means Arthur will have to face the pain of losing everyone he cares about, besides Merlin, again. Furthermore, Merlin realizes he himself has gotten closer to the new knights and sorcerers than he let himself get to anyone in hundreds of years... And he doesn't know how many more times he can take the pain of losing people he cares about. Soon, Merlin has to face the unthinkable, and an enemy that is fully willing to take advantage of his pain.
Expect Angst, Humor, Banter, Fluff, Hurt/Comfort and lots of Merthur.

Summary
In a land of myth, and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young boy… Only, no one knew this particular magical baby was a boy, at first, which rather complicated the finding of baby Emrys. For a while, the druids rather frantically searched among other, exceptionally incorrect, babies for the prophesied boy wizard, and it took several years before they were able to figure it all out. They figured it out eventually, though, and were quite confident once they finally declared Merlin the official Camelot shouldering sorcerer.

Summary
The Pendragons have been cursed with lycanthropy for generations. Only, it isn't a curse. It is a gift, given to the Pendragons in thanks for saving a fairy's life.
Uther blamed the arcane for the "curse" and banned all arcane beings. As King, Arthur welcomed back druids, werewolves, and fey with open arms. He has a loyal pack, and now he has Merlin. A druid specially trained to tether werewolf packs to humanity.
But being a werewolf has earned Arthur powerful enemies, and there is a traitor in the Pack.
Arthur is bleeding out. Merlin must make a choice. Either save the man he loves, or stop the traitor. In the end, there is no choice.
Enemy troops are on the move: Odin and Cenred have joined forces with a group referring to themselves as Ferræden of Déaþ Wulf. They are preparing to lay siege to Camelot.
With Arthur still healing from the most recent attempt on his life and the traitor selling Camelot's secrets to Odin, defending Camelot is impossible. There is only one option. Evacuate the citadel. Seek refuge with allies.
A desperate last stand leads to a powerful potential ally beyond the realm of man. It might be The Pack's only chance to save their home.

Merlin smiled at Arthur, enjoying the flush spreading across the King of Camelot's face.
He couldn't say he'd planned what had happened—Merlin wasn’t that cunning, unfortunately.
But he couldn’t deny that he was particularly enjoying Arthur’s reaction to the situation.

“If the sigil is a proposal, then what does the ring mean?” he asked, his voice dropping to a whisper.
“The ring itself? Nothing,” Arthur reassured him, leaning closer as if drawn by Merlin’s quiet tone. “But that ring, given by me? It means I’m offering you the most fragile, vulnerable part of myself and asking you to keep it safe.”

“Wait, what are you saying where am l?“ Arthur asked suddenly and frantically, searching the area for any immediate danger.
“I don't really know how to tell you this.” there was a hint of genuine worry in the blue-eyed stranger's eyes.
Arthur's brow narrowed, hoping it would convey the message for the stranger to continue, the raven-haired boy visibly swallowed, Arthur's eyes lingered on the man's throat. The stranger cleared his throat, breaking Arthur's daydreaming and causing him to blush furiously.
“This, your highness, is Ealdor. Home of the Druids“

Summary
“I have one more chore for you. I want you to get me some flowers,” Arthur said while he reached for the soap next to the tub, looking away from Merlin as he searched the floor. Merlin blinked, hoping that Arthur wasn’t enchanted. Again.
“May I ask for what purpose, sire?” Merlin asked.
“Don’t worry about it. Just pick out some flowers you like and bring them back to me. You can do that much, can’t you?”
Arthur wants Merlin to deliver some flowers to a secret crush of his. However, Arthur neglected to tell Merlin who the flowers were for, which leads to Merlin having to figure out who it is on his own. Couldn’t Arthur just tell him who to give the flowers to without all this?

Summary
When the clock struck midnight, and murmurs of 'Merry Christmas' could be heard throughout the waiting room. Merlin couldn't resist muttering under his breath that he doubted anyone here was currently having a paticularly /Merry/ Christmas.
The man beside him had obviously overheard his comment as he snorted quietly to himself, causing Merlin to glance curiously in his direction.
"Sorry," The man said, offering Merlin a wry smile, "It's just this wasn't exactly how I imagined I'd be spending my Christmas either".
"Really? This is exactly how I pictured mine, bloody nosed stranger and all," Merlin quipped, eyes sparkling with bemusment.

Merlin has a broken his wrist, Arthur has a broken nose and quite possibly a concussion. They spend the early hours of Christmas morning together in A&E.
(A&E is the equivalent of an ER for any Americans out their xx)
