Summary
Merlin is lying about who he is (warlock, alpha) so he won't lose his head. Arthur is lying about who he is (omega) so he can make his father proud and inherit his crown. Even Morgana is lying and hoping that the lies will bring her happiness at last.
Is the joy of being seen worth the pain of unraveling the lies?

Summary
"I do not just have magic, Arthur. I do not just practise it."
Arthur looks up, his knees digging fervent and hard into the stone, bullets of pain crackling up his thighs. Merlin looks down - impossibly, immeasurably sad. Tears drip from his chin and splash on Arthur's cheeks, but he cannot ignore the way they run past a mouth curled in contempt, in hatred. Their gentleness has, like fruit on a hot day or flowers forgotten about, rotted. There is nothing left now but their battle of fury, their back and forth of violence. Arthur remembers, a long, long time ago, that Morgana told him love and hate were not all that different. Now, he thinks he finally understands.
"I was born with it. I am magic."
--
"It's... lonely." Merlin murmurs. "To be more powerful than any man you know, and have to live like a shadow. To be special, and have to pretend you're a fool. I know how it feels.
I understand."

Summary
From a prompt on Tumblr
"As Arthur and the rest of Camelot get more comfortable with magic, Arthur makes a decision. He’s tried teaching Merlin every type of weapon out there, and he’s hopeless with every one of them. But, Merlin still insists on coming with him on dangerous quests. So, Arthur decides to have Merlin try his hand at magic so he has some sort of self defense"Bookmarked by ChocoSenpai

The Aeon of Albion: The Dawning of the Danger by theimpossiblegirl39
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)

Summary
In a land of myth, and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young man. His name:... Well, Arthur doesn't know his real name, but he'd bloody well like to find out.
Or
Arthur has known about his destiny to unite Albion as the Once and Future King since he stumbled on that ridiculously large Dragon his father had imprisoned under the castle when he was a young child. Now, all he has to do is find Emrys - his prophesized magical partner, navigate becoming the Crown Prince of Camelot and his father's hatred of all things magic, and survive the frankly insane amount of attacks against him by angry sorcerers. If only his idiot manservant could be on time to work for once.
Or
An ambitious canon rewrite of Merlin season one from Arthur's POV, if he was already pretty cool with magic from the start but was still just as oblivious to Merlin as he was in the show.

Summary
Merlin has been alive for a very long time.
He is not losing it... But he is on a very meditative journey to become one with a blade of grass when he suddenly wakes up in the sixth century, surrounded by friends he only sort of remembers and a king who isn't a king yet.
In other words: My version of a Merlin travels back fix it fic starting in the missing year between seasons 3 and 4.
Will add more tags as they become relevant!

Summary
After Arthur disobeyed his father and retrieved the Mortaeus flower for Merlin's cure, Arthur's frantic pleading to save Merlin led to a misunderstanding that actually convinced Uther to take the flower to Gaius.
Now all Arthur has to do is explain to Merlin why Uther thinks they are lovers.
And while Uther is supportive of the relationship, he requires it kept secret. But in his paranoia, Uther misinterprets every innocent interaction between the two as something far more intimate, to the embarrassment of everyone involved.
And then the knights begin showing up...

Summary
The land is dying, and magic is a myth. For Arthur and his team, trying to keep the world from falling apart just got a whole lot harder, what with the giant venomous snakes, the undead, life-sucking daggers and immortal mystic beings. Destiny is fractured, the future is unstable and the nation is crying out for someone to save them - but the stories of The Round Table and Merlin are just that. Stories.

Summary
“So, uh. Arthur is doing better-? Not like, healed better. But… The curse has stopped attacking him?” Merlin really tried to put as much nonchalance into his voice as possible, but Gaius knew him too well. More often than not, when Merlin did something to create problems for himself, he would leave out large parts of what had actually happened. Gaius raised his eyebrow to show Merlin he knew as much.
He finally gave up the act and slumped down in his seat. “I kind of trapped Arthur’s soul in here with me,” he said weakly gesturing toward his head in defeat.
Gaius looked back at him with a special kind of fear. The one that came from having to hide something that could most definitely get you killed.
Pure exhaustion made his breath feel heavy as it left his lips. “He knows,” Merlin sighed, not even looking at Gaius.
Arthur's cruel tone echoing in his head only made him sink deeper. “Of course Gaius knows. You needed someone to strategize just how you could betray me best.” Merlin tried his best not to let Arthur’s hatred stab any deeper into his heart.

Summary
They called him “Will” because of the way he fought when they captured him.
A plaque outside his tank, facing out towards the humans that gawked over him, day in and day out, told his story. He watched their lips move as they read it, their young sounding out the words slowly, short tongues bitten between flat square teeth as they concentrated.
“Possibly the last of his species.”
He didn’t think this was true, but the words still hurt when he learned to understand them.
The humans were affected by the words as well. They scoffed or laughed at the idea of it, occasionally cried. Many were relieved, and those he was happy to bare his teeth at, swimming up to the glass and staring at them in the dim dry cavern they moved through. He hoped they felt at home in the ocean, and that someday he would find them there again.

Summary
After Merlin's magic is discovered by Arthur, he understands the king's need for some time apart. But the loss of the king's trust is a bitter pill to swallow, and even more so the loss of his love. Forced to wait until Arthur is willing to deal with him again, Merlin begins to realize that the loss of Arthur's love isn't just emotionally painful, but physical as well. He hasn't been able to breathe without pain since that day in the forest. And his cough is producing flower petals, a sign that something much worse is going on. Merlin isn't stupid, but he without options. There's no cure, and even if there was, it's definitely not pressure he's willing to put on his love. Merlin is content with his decision.
Arthur isn't.

Summary
Job 30:16-19
And now my soul is poured out within me;
days of affliction have taken hold of me.
The night racks my bones,
and the pain that gnaws me takes no rest.
With violence it seizes my garment;
it binds me about like the collar of my tunic.
God has cast me into the mire,
and I have become like dust and ashes.Will possesses magic. A Witch, with abilities and power in his soul beyond even his own comprehension. He is not just any run of the mill medium with a beat-up tarot deck and a muggy crystal ball. No, Will Graham is a Necromancer. More powerful than any who have come before him.
Jack sees Will for what he is; a tool to communicate with the dead and solve murders. Will doesn’t know what to see himself as anymore - all he knows is that the darkness he fights to keep at bay is closing in.
And when a certain Hannibal Lecter, Professor of Occult and Magic Studies, is consulted to help on the case, for the first time in his life the Dead become the least of Will’s worries.

Summary
After a brief tryst with Hannibal, Will flails for balance amidst the many blows he's dealt, from his incarceration to the deaths of Abigail and Beverly. Warring between his undeniable kinship with Hannibal, and the resentment for his actions, he tentatively resumes his therapy.
Meanwhile, he's forcibly befriended by Margot Verger, whose oscillating motivations are never as simple as they seem.

A continuation of examining Will's character through the lens of transgender identity throughout canon events, with a twist. It is not essential you read the first part, but recommended. :)
