Summary
De-aged!Merlin, Caring!Arthur, Caring!Knights, Reveal!Fic. If that doesn't say it all, Merlin is turned into a child by ex-druids bent on raising "Emrys" to be their weapon to free magic. Plot is actually just an excuse to write Merlin-as-a-kid fluff. SPOILERS for S4. Set during S4, after episode #whatever, when Elyan is ... you know. This is one I wrote way back in 2012 and have finally migrated it over to this archive in case you recognize it. That's also why it's being posted all in one go. If you haven't read this, I hope you enjoy!

Summary
Guinevere is right, as usual, Merlin does deserve a gift for Yuletide. When Merlin asks Arthur for time off, he doesn't think anything of it; but when it's the middle of the night and he still hasn't returned, Arthur and the Knights go after him, worried that he'd gotten lost, only to find him at a mysterious lake talking to nobody about someone named Freya. When they learn the whole story, there's nothing to do for the friend that has sacrificed everything for them, but save his lost love.

Summary
In "The Darkest Hour", Gaius wasn't sure what it will take to repair the tear in the veil between worlds (blood sacrifice was merely a guess) and Kilgharrah insisted that "the spirit world demands no sacrifice", that "it is the demands of the Cailleach".
What if... the Cailleach asked for something other than blood sacrifice? What if she asked for the two halves to be made whole instead?

Summary
It wasn't as though this was the first time Merlin had taken a spell for Arthur. Actually, it as around the 237th (though of course who here was counting?) and Merlin was getting pretty damn tired of jumping hither thither to protect the world's biggest ego. Only, this time was different, and after the pair manages to get hit with a truth spell, things just seem to go south... in all meanings of the term.
Or, the one time Arthur actually didn't have a filter and his constant, inner monologue of sexual frustration rears its ugly head, and Merlin is a bit too into magical puns.

Summary
When a sorcerer shows up to challenge Arthur to a duel, Merlin steps in and takes the challenge before he can get to it. On the bright side, Merlin has some time to pack before his secret is revealed in the fight. On the downside, it's going to be a lot harder to protect Arthur while Arthur's trying to have him executed.

Summary

Hiccup's connection to dragons is much stronger than anyone thought, but he isn't that surprised. Set at the time of HTTYD2, but if that plot doesn't happen.

Summary
There are none so blind as those who will not see. That’s what Merlin learned at Camelot, when Arthur – sometimes seemingly willingly – failed to notice his magic for ten whole years, despite some of Merlin’s rather blatant uses of it. Now he’s just hoping it’ll hold true once more – after all, people see what they expect to see, and no one expects to see Merlin, the Merlin, in the form of an eleven-year-old boy whose magic only just barely works the way it’s supposed to.
The reign of Lord Voldemort left an evil across the land, and when that evil rears its ugly head once more, Merlin knows that it’s high time he stepped out of the shadows and into the light – this time, unless he helps, Arthur’s destiny won’t be the only one that’s lost.
So help he does.This work has been discontinued. Chapters 1-13 are directly sequential prose chapters. Chapters 13-17 have timeskips between them. Chapters 18 and 19 are unfinished scenes/chapters. Chapters 20-22 are notes and other paratext.

Summary
Arthur wakes up to find a de-aged Merlin sitting in his room- a Merlin with no memories of Camelot. The knights all offer to help- but the one thing they can't understand is why Merlin seems so scared of 'the knights in the red capes', and why he keeps pleading with them not to burn him.
As Merlin begins to get his memories back, the knights find out more and more about their friend while he remembers and reveals his life in Camelot.
I'm not great at summaries, but please give the story a shot!Edit: I just saw that this story has a little over 10,000 hits, which is absolutely mindblowing! It's so humbling to envision a concert's worth of people reading my fanfic, and I am so grateful for all of you. I never expected this type of response, and I truly can't thank you enough for all of the support <3

Summary
Some servants, according to a few rather violent knights, need to be taught their place, and Merlin certainly doesn't seem to know his. When Arthur finds his manservant on the floor in the middle of the hall one night, how will he react? I know it's been done, but I'm a sucker for protective!Arthur.

Summary
Arthur was bound to notice at some point, the convenient falling tree branches and the not-so-subtle cases when a sword was pulled from enemy hands. Or, if he somehow managed to miss all this, maybe the way Merlin's eyes randomly turned gold clued him in. Either way, Arthur sees that sometimes, Camelot's knights get a little too lucky when fighting. In short, Merlin uses his magic to save the prince, and Arthur is angry- only not for the reason Merlin thinks. I really suck at summaries, but please give it a shot!

When Arthur found out, he refused to talk to Merlin for just over three weeks.
------------
In which Merlin's magic is revealed in a way he hadn't anticipated; the knights find amusement in even the smallest of spells; Gwen develops an eager interest in the arts of magic; and Arthur is, well, Arthur.

Because perhaps if Arthur could see it from a different perspective then he would understand why.
