Summary
Arthur asks Merlin to learn magic to see if it can be trusted in defeating Morgana.
"We want to ask someone to learn magic to see if it can be used without corrupting the soul of the person who uses it. Lancelot suggested you be the person we ask."
Merlin's lips parted a fraction, "He did?"
"Indeed. Something about your heart being pure." Arthur brushed the compliment off with a wave of his hand and straightened in his seat, "I know you're scared of magic so you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to but-"
"I'll do it."Now complete with added prologue and epilogue!

Summary
Based on this prompt I saw: Merlin makes a familiar face, and Arthur realizes why dragoon the great looked familiar… Assumptions are made, the knights are confused, and Arthur is just trying to figure out how Dragoon is related to Merlin.
Basically Camelot shenanigans with our favorite knights of the round table and some magic (and Merthur) thrown in.
Enjoy!-

Summary
Merlin wasn’t exactly certain when it happened, but somewhere between the years of lies, the terrible choices, and endless blood on his hands, he had stopped believing he deserved to be loved. So when Arthur finally confesses that he is in love with him, how is Merlin supposed to trust his words? Arthur doesn’t even know the real him.
Will Merlin finally be able to open his heart? Could this truly be the happy ending Merlin always dreamed of? Or was Merlin right, was Arthur’s sweet words not what they seemed?

Summary
Merlin knew his go-to excuse of “going to the tavern” to explain his disappearances was always going to bite him in the arse. He just didn’t expect that one night while he was off doing magical things that said tavern would burn to the ground in a devastating fire and he would be presumed one of the victims.
Yep, this was going to be hard to explain.
[Now with new perspective from the knights!]

Summary
Merlin practically fled Arthur's chambers. He got down the hall and leaned against the stone wall. Did he really just slip up in front of Arthur? He hadn't meant to say it, but it was all stupid Arthur's fault. Who gave him permission to look that way, with his stupid soft looking hair, and blue eyes that Merlin wanted to stare into. Merlin's blush deepened and he sank further into the stones, wondering if he could come up with a spell for the walls to just swallow him whole before that meeting.
------
Merlin accidentally calls Arthur "my love" instead of "my lord" one morning. Heavy blushing, staring, and pining ensue.-

Summary
Merlin can’t remember the last time he’s locked his bedroom door, if ever. But he chooses not to think about it. He merely sulks his way back to his bed, taking a moment to contemplate taking off his trousers and tunic from the night before. He decides not to think about that either.
Instead, he decides not to think at all. He just falls back into his bed, covers up his body more so in shame than for warmth, and closes his eyes.
Basically Merlin is sexually assaulted and this story follows how he and everyone else deals with it.
Spoiler alert: THEY DON'T HANDLE IT WELL.

Summary
Merlin dashes fiercely at the tears that have started to trickle down his face, and waits. Because if Arthur wants to take him back to Camelot as a prisoner, to a cold cell and death in the grey morning – if that is what Arthur wants, Merlin will let him, because he can’t deny Arthur anything.
And Arthur takes Merlin’s shoulders in a hard, almost bruising grip, and he’s breathing hard, and Merlin’s crying messily, because he just can’t seem to stop and he’s more scared than he’s ever been in his life.

“I offered to take you to the hospital,” he pointed out. The man hummed.
“Could’ve been lying,” he retorted as Arthur maneuvered his head to lay in his lap. Arthur nodded.
“Yes, I suppose I could. But there’s nothing you can do about it now, hmm?”

Summary
“I’m sorry, there must be a mistake.” Uther furrows his brows. “That is my son’s manservant.”
“This is Emrys, the most powerful sorcerer who will ever walk the earth. It is our deepest honor to be able to offer his hand to your son.”
“Merlin?” Arthur asks, looking across the hall. Merlin looks the palest and the smallest Arthur has ever seen him. He looks like a scared animal that knows it’s about to be trapped, and that’s when it clicks for Arthur that no part of this is a joke. None of it. “Merlin, what are they talking about?”
