Summary
“But I have a question. Are you in love with Arthur?”
Merlin froze. Was it too convenient to pretend to faint from pain? Surely, that was the best answer to such a question. Of course, second only to a confident, bewildered “no.” Unfortunately, he felt his pause had already given enough of an answer. Nevertheless, he persisted. “Of course not.”
“Well, then are you trying to kill him?”
Or, Morgana finds Merlin's self-sacrificing behavior as something that could only motivated by love. Arthur thinks she's crazy. In her quest to prove herself right, she uncovers some secrets about Merlin better left hidden...

Summary
Canon era, canon divergent featuring BAMF!Merlin, irritatingly confusing Kilgharrah, mentally exhausted Arthur, and a very impatient Morgause.
Growing up in isolation with his father and a handful of druids, Merlin has been trained in the arts of magic and self defense. He's also good with a sword, knows how to evade the enemy and is quite literally dying of boredom. NOTHING exciting ever happens aside from the stories his father tells him of days long past about the evils of the outside world.
All this changes when a chance encounter leads Merlin to save Arthur Pendragon’s life. He soon discovers he's got a shared destiny with the pratty prince. (who does not like his magic, not one bit)Merlin thought his life was boring before, now he's not sure what to think. In a matter of a few weeks, he's met a dragon, promised to set him free, and may or may not have been tasked with usurping the king! He's managed on his own for this long, what's the worst that could happen? He spends the rest of his life alone, that's what!

Summary
'What was in that potion?' he rasped, swallowing the pasty flavour in his mouth. His lungs felt unpleasantly raw, and a dull ache stirred to swift life in his temples.
Gaius scurried about, opening windows and retrieving some water, pressing a cup into Merlin's hands. 'In small doses, it's an excellent tonic for numerous fevers and ailments. However, it has some rather unfortunate interactions with those who use magic.'
Merlin closed his eyes in disbelief. 'Unfortunate how?'
'It varies. The more powerful the mage, the more... extreme the reaction.'
------
An accident in the healing rooms leaves Merlin confined to his chambers, ailing and miserable. There's a unicorn in the kitchens and a nymph in the marketplace well. The only silver lining is that Arthur is there to tend him. Will the distance that has grown between Camelot's king and his court sorcerer widen, or will they finally heal the breach for the better?
(Based on the word "Curative" for Benji)

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.- Language:

The Royal Household Survival Code for the Preservation of the Physical and Mental Health of the Knights and Not-Knights by amariram

Summary
Merlin was just ahead of them, talking to what the Knights recognized as Arthur's old servant, even before Merlin. The two were laughing at something, Morris' arm resting on Merlin's shoulder.
"For all the gods, we left him alone for one minute. How is it possible that someone is already flirting with him?" exclaimed Gwaine in exasperation.
"Oh no. Oh no, no, no, no, no," Elyan moaned. When Lancelot turned to look at him perplexed, he noticed that Elyan's gaze was not directed towards Merlin and Morris, but at the Castle. Lancelot frowned, following Elyan's gaze and for a second his heart missed a beat.
Arthur was marching at a charging pace towards the Tavern.
Precisely towards Merlin and Morris.Lancelot brought his hand over his eyes. What to do? What not to do? The Knights of Camelot were not used to being scared for stupid things like that. They had endured worse, They had survived that morning, they could survive everything. The Knights of Camelot were the bravest men in the Kingdom. And since Leon was not with them now someone else had to be wise in his place.
So Lancelot made the wisest decision possible.

Summary
Arthur could see his father glaring down - face red and eyes narrowed as he looked at Merlin with clear distaste.
"Once this over, sorcerer...I’ll burn you."
"You’ve already tried that," Merlin’s voice answered and Arthur had to bite his fist to keep from making any noise. “You need to accept you can’t kill me… Hand me that blanket, please.”
“I’m sure there must be some method… Beheading?”
“No, we tried that.”
“Hanging?”
“I just sort of... Swung there, remember?”
There was another pause.
“I should have made you keep that dragon below the castle so I could feed you to it.”
“Kilgharrah? He won’t eat me, but if you want to torture me than making me listen to his nonsense for an hour might do it.” Merlin said and there was a soft sigh from the other end of the room. “I’m glad you agreed to help me though. Usually I have to do the grunt work of saving Arthur myself.”
“I can’t wait to kill you.”
Or
Uther finds out about Merlin’s magic, but can’t seem to kill him. Merlin is just trying to protect Arthur. They become a begrudgingly effective duo. Arthur doesn't understand why they think he isn't noticing this.

Summary
"What are you going to do about it, Uther?” he asked, eyes wide and wild. “Kill me?"
He let out a harsh laugh, looking around the room, before his eyes fell back on Uther and his voice grew dull and joyless, almost daring the King. "You can certainly try."
"Merlin!"
"What? It's not like it'll work," Merlin muttered at the horrified look Arthur was giving him. His horror seemed to shift to concern at his words. Merlin would have laughed in any other situation.

Uther has discovered Merlin's magic after being tipped off anonymously.

Summary
Arthur has always had distant dreams of leaving Camelot. They were never more than a wistful fantasy, at least once he grew up.
Finding out about Merlin’s magic changes everything though, and not only because Arthur would do more to keep Merlin safe than he cares to admit. What follows are secrets upon secrets, allowing the dreams to slip back in as all his father’s lies unravel around him. Slowly but surely, Camelot feels less like a home and more like a gilded cage, and Arthur isn’t so certain anymore whether he’s the right person to carry this legacy. If he even wants to.
One final secret, one opportunity, and suddenly the dreams aren’t mere dreams anymore. Merlin wouldn’t be Merlin if he didn’t follow wherever Arthur goes, and as they try to outrun Uther’s manhunt for them, they have to learn to live a life that’s about more than duty, other’s expectations, and a destiny that has never once cared for them.
Or: Arthur long since expected that one day, he might have to flee Camelot with Merlin. He just never thought that he would be the reason.
