5 parts Complete Mature
When Merlin entered his chambers, Arthur was already awake, and ordered Merlin to prepare two horses for a hunting trip. "Is it too much to hope that you'll be taking Leon or Lancelot," Merlin had asked, his voice laced with fake sweetness. "Stop being lazy, Merlin. It is an honor to be invited on a hunting trip with the king," Arthur replied haughtily. "An invitation implies there being a choice, sire." Or, yet another magic reveal fic with lots of angst, but also a fluffy happy ending with Merthur romance, because apparently I think there can never be enough of them lol Cross-posted from AO3

A wizard out of mind control. by skdbhdnz
10 parts Ongoing
The time had suddenly stopped, he no longer felt anything. Even the air seemed to have left the place. He didn't understand what was happening, he was starting to panic before a voice appeared in his head. "It's been so long since I found a friend, we'll play together." Contrary to the tone of voice that seemed cheerful, the feeling of dread he felt had amplified. He didn't even see that time had resumed its course, he moved away from Arthur to take a few steps outside the ruins. He didn't even see that time had taken its course again, he moved away from Arthur to take a few steps out of the ruins. "What's wrong with you Merlin?" Arthur looked at him with a frown as if he was trying to understand his servant's reaction but Merlin didn't hear him. Instead of Arthur's face and his normally blue eyes, there was just nothing just black holes that seemed to never end and a mouth that looked a smile, has without unhinging your jaw as if there were no muscle or bone underneath. "Don't worry, it's already too late, running away won't do any good."

We'll Always Be The Last To Fall by cassan_riviera
6 parts Complete
He does not remember the feeling of panic rising in his throat at the thought that he would not be discovered before he became nothing more than a dead corpse in a dead Queen's garden, an errant child out of bed after hours.' **** After a lifetime of living on the knife-edge of death, when a seventeen year old Arthur is nearly killed by a traitor to in the very heart of Camelot, all he gets is a second glance and an imperious command from his father that Arthur is to get a new manservant. What's worse is that all his protests seem to fall on deaf ears. Arthur doesn't exactly have the best history with manservants. And it seems like this one with Merlin is going to be shorter and worse than most. It is not just that he is forgetful, or disappears for days on end, but it seems like he had no grasp of common human behaviour. But despite everything, they manage to forge a friendship, and one night, long-kept secrets are revealed, pledges and sacrifices made, and a new era birthed.
