Summary
Merlin has magic,” Uther’s words hit Merlin like a ton of bricks, the spirit disappearing as if it was never there.
Merlin closes his eyes, letting out the breath he’s been holding. He feels his back hit the door behind him, holding himself up against it. He doesn’t look at Arthur, just waits.
One breath, two breath, three breath. Nothing.
Merlin opens his eyes, looking up, half expecting Arthur to have disappeared to alert the guards. Arthur is staring at him, he is stock skill, breath coming out ragged and uneven. He looks crushed and not just from expelling his father’s spirit but that must also have contributed to it.
“Arthur,” Merlin tries, swallowing when his voice shakes with the anticipation of Arthur’s reaction.
“Is it true?” Arthur asks, his voice quiet but stern, he still holds the horn tightly in his grip by his side, his knuckles white with the force.
“Arthur I-“
“Yes or no, Merlin,” Arthur interrupts, voice suddenly louder in the empty corridor, he looks Merlin in the eye while he nods wordlessly before looking away, “you-you do. You would betray me? You?”

In which Arthur find out from spirit Uther about Merlin's magic. -

How A Little Kindness Changes The Course of Camelot by Daughter_of_Thranduil

Summary
“Some believe that it is only great power that can hold evil in check. But that is not what I have found. I have found it is the small things; everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and love.” - Gandalf
Truer words were never spoken.
Some of the legends give Arthur an additional half-sister, Elaine. Here’s how her existence as a background character, despite performing no great deeds or showing no particular extraordinariness, prompts an earlier magic reveal and a happier ending than they all originally got.
Will be canon compliant until the end of Season 3, then verge into AU territory, where everyone stays alive.

Merlin was accepeted to the prestigious Pendragon All Boys College which has been running for centuries under various Pendragons. Now it is Uther Pendragon's turn, but he isn't alone.

Merlin all the while has to juggle his studies, hiding his biggest secret and still has to deal with Arthur as his roommate. As the two get to know each other and find that the other isn't as insufferable as previously thought, they suddenly fall under the scrutiny of fellow student Mordred and with him in the picture their semester is anything but predictable.

Summary
Leon is in a fog, clinging to his dignity by the tips of his fingers. He'd just delivered fifty lashes to someone whose only crime was to serve someone unworthy. He didn't understand it, after all he'd done, this was what threatened to break him? But it was, he still had blood under his nails, and he needed to go somewhere safe.
Mahtab. He needed Mahtab.

Summary
Gwaine challenges anyone in Camelot not to have had the occasional flight of fancy about one of their famous knights swooping in to save them, all shining armor and tousled hair, or the wish of being courted by such a noble suitor, or even just a night, one night, to find out what's really underneath all that armor. Their knights are the stuff of legends, after all, and bards are commonplace in a tavern, can he be blamed for how he listens to them? Especially working in a tavern so close to the citadel itself, where the knights will actually come and drink during their evenings, well, that's just like putting a fresh pie on the counter and expecting it to be there when he returns.
And if there's one knight in particular that happens to occupy Gwaine's mind more than any other, well, that's between him and his thoughts.

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.

Summary
Dark!fic AU
*Now with beautiful art by LightsAtTintagel!*
The Kingdom of Avalon has fallen. Arthur finds himself the reluctant keeper of the fallen enemy prince.
Destiny had somehow made a mistake.
***
"You don't have to, you know," Arthur said. "Not all the time."
"What?" came Merlin's clipped response from the corner after a moment.
Arthur turned around to face his captive. "Be this," he gestured at Merlin broadly. "Be defiant, brave...stoic...all the time. It's painful to watch."
Merlin did not answer. Arthur sighed.
"Just...just...when that door closes, when we reach the end of the day. Just allow yourself to relax for just a while." Arthur tried on a small smile, holding his palms up in a gesture of surrender. "I promise I won't tell anybody."

Summary
Merlin waited. He spent centuries chasing ghosts of Arthur — faces that weren’t his, voices that rang hollow. Then, in a world far removed from Camelot, he feels it again — that sharp, impossible pull of déjà vu.

Summary
‘What’s going on, Merlin? Why are you… me?’
Lancelot was lying, was his first, quite absurd thought. I do not look cute when I’m confused.«»«»«»
At first, it’s just an ‘inconvenience,’ and although Merlin and Lancelot can’t figure out a way to break the enchantment, at least their bond grows stronger than ever. The snag? It all somehow leads to a discussion about allowing magic in Camelot… and the stakes suddenly get very high.
