Summary
“So I take it you weren’t on a date last night?” Arthur asks.
“Hmm?” Merlin answers distractedly, eyes scanning the space around them.
“Last night. You said you had to leave because you were meeting somebody. You were going to have dinner with Guinevere and I to tell us about it.”
Merlin groans. “Bugger. I forgot I agreed to that.”
“So you are courting someone, then?”
“Not as such, no,” Merlin admits.
Arthur keeps pressing, disturbingly desperate to know for certain so that he can picture it more clearly, or, less likely, never think of it again.
-
Or, Merlin claims he has a date. Arthur spirals. Things work out in the end.

Summary
“Are you sure you can’t do a bit of magic?” Arthur asks. “I promise I won’t behead you for it.”
“Very reassuring,” Merlin says. “Truly, that’s an extreme act of mercy on your part, my Lord. It’s almost enough to convince me you aren’t a dollophead.”
“What use are you,” Arthur mutters.
Or:
The druids call Merlin Emrys. Arthur isn't sure why they think his hapless manservant is some sort of powerful sorcerer, but it's certainly a good way to improve Camelot's relationship with the druids. It's only a little bit of a lie, surely.
Except it turns out that it's not a lie at all.

Summary
Merlin walked over to the wardrobe and began to pick out clothes for the day, as Arthur hurried off the bed and to the mirror. Merlin paused, a pinch of confusion on his face, when he suddenly heard Arthur mutter in awed shock ‘sorcery!’
He also should have taken that as a sign something was wrong. Of course, he didn’t, though.
OR
Uther wakes in Arthur's body and vice versa. Things get...awkward.

Summary
In many ways, things are the same as ever.
It’s only… Well, back when Merlin still had things like secrets, or privacy, or self-respect, he would have thought that of the secrets, the magic would have been the one to truly catch Arthur’s interest.
But no. It’s the other secret that Arthur picks and plucks at.

Summary
Draco Malfoy has three excellent reasons to get sloshed- a father who won't accept him, a Harry Potter he can't stop crushing on and that damned hippogriff that tried to eat him. And he is going to tell them what's what, because clearly that is a good idea. Fortunately, his new muggle friend seems to have a beef with Potter too.
