A bunch of one-shots were Merlin's magic is revealed in different ways.

Merlin appears to spend a huge amount of time in 'the tavern'. Arthur is determined to stop this. The only problem is... Arthur has to find the right tavern in order to do so. Complete and utter silliness in story form... ;-

Merlin protects Arthur with magic once again, but this time the prince sees it. Arthur intends to banish his manservant to spare him, but Merlin has none of it. Once you have to make a decision of life and death, there is no in-between. (A reveal fic, told in dialogue only)

"Sorry I don't have an entire wardrobe of literally hundreds of breeches and cloaks and God knows what else like a certain prat I know who could stand to appreciate his brave and hardworking and handsome servant a bit more—" "Oh, shut up, Merlin," Arthur says impatiently. Merlin lost him at "hardworking".

Arthur has always taken both his own royal lifestyle and his manservant for granted. Then a certain incident with a witch puts him quite literally in Merlin's shoes, and Arthur finds himself faced with several unwelcome truths.

After a year in Camelot, Merlin has made a great deal of progress in his quest to restore magic to the land. Still, there's a long way to go, and the emergence of dangerous new enemies is not making the journey any shorter. Sequel to The Warlock's Quickening; Book II of The Albion Cycle.

Arthur finds out Merlin hasn't been going to the tavern. He also figures out Merlin's secret. Pre-Merthur.

It's never easy to lose family. Grief that was never allowed out finally breaks free and Arthur is left looking for a missing servant. Reveal!fic, crying!Merlin, caring!Arthur. Oneshot

Arthur was never upset about the magic; he was upset about the lie. What if Merlin hadn't lied? What if he'd realized that there never would be a 'right time' to come clean, and told Arthur right after his coronation-the only time it would have been about the magic, and not the lie?

Merlin went missing and Arthur is determined to find him.

When Merlin and his friends are attacked while on a picnic, Merlin has no choice but to reveal his magic. He can survive the attackers, but can he survive his friends? "I will not resist... I can live with you hating me, Arthur... But I cannot live in a world where I can't protect you. So yes.. if you want to execute me, you can... But Arthur, do you want to kill me?"

Another day, another bandit attack. Merlin does his thing, but this time, he's caught. Or perhaps, he just wasn't very subtle this time. Merlin talks Arthur through his reaction to his magic and it actually turns out pretty okay. This is ridiculously fluffy! Don't take the angst tag too seriously. Enjoy! (crossposted on ao3)

Merlin had secrets, and Arthur knew nothing of them, until, slowly, he did. In which Arthur slowly unravels the mystery that is Merlin, and begins to realize just how much he doesn't know.

Adventure, Merthur, epic magic. Full summary inside.

The Royal Seal used to seal Camelot's official documents is magical - and missing. Merlin needs to retrieve it before Uther realizes it's gone. The retrieval doesn't go as planned, and Merlin awakens in the woods injured and confused. AU - Gwaine wasn't banished. Rated T solely because of damage done to Merlin. No slash.

Merlin takes Arthur's dogs for a walk.

After Morgana's betrayal, Arthur needs to relax. So what better way to do that then to go on a hunting trip? Unfortunately, nothing is ever simple for Merlin. Captured, beaten, and exhausted, Arthur and his knights gave no idea how to get away from the arena where they are forced to fight. Meanwhile, Merlin encounters some familiar faces.

Camelot, and especially Arthur, are shocked when a long-hidden truth comes to light. Apparently, Arthur has a twin brother who is a very powerful warlock. Now if only Gaius would tell him where he is. Canon AU

A confession makes Arthur question his ability to trust Merlin, but upon digging further into it, he finds that Merlin's loyalty and trustworthiness is still the gold standard. Once he can pry the truth from him. One-shot.

Merlin always refuses to share his waterskin with anyone. The knights find out the hard way that Merlin has a VERY good reason for this. One-shot. Not a magic reveal.

Arthur has a truth serum, Merlin lies more than he tells the truth. Who else would Arthur use it on?

"What do you want, Merlin? . . . Sorcerers always want something and they usually say what it is once they've revealed themselves. . . Which is it, Merlin? . . . Revenge or power?" In which Arthur questions Merlin's motives once he discovers his magic. Reveal fic. Gen.

"You're a good king.""I've been king for two weeks, Merlin, I don't think we can judge my reign just yet.""You will be a great king.""Thank you for thinking that. Was that it?" or. Another reveal fic that doesn't go quite as Merlin expected

Ever wondered why George and Merlin's looks were so similar? The only possible explanation is that George tried to dress like Arthur's not-at-all efficient servant.

Arthur wants to reward those loyal to him during Morgana's first reign but how does he reward the one who kept them all alive-Merlin-without losing him?

2nd in the Dollophead and his Idiot series. Takes place after 4x08 and before 4x09. What if Arthur had actually listened to Merlin's suspicions in regard to Agravaine?

No slash. Bromance only.

The three men finally turned to notice Merlin slumped at the table fast asleep. Upon closer inspection Merlin's friends could see that his thin body looked utterly worn out and forlorn.

Arthur forces Emrys to reveal himself, promising to bring back magic if he does.

Arthur knows and welcomes and appreciates Merlin as his personal sorcerer - and under his reign, Camelot has slowly come to accept the inevitable return of magic. But how will the other kings of Albion react to Camelot's change of policy? - Alined, Odin, Caerleon... sequel to "Refined by Fire" and "Released by Truth". Arwen, Merthian, other non-canon pairings.

Arthur wasn't really being a jerk when he told Merlin to polish his armor. He needed his friend, even though he couldn't manage to tell him why. Takes place during a portion of "A Herald of the New Age" and includes a tag.

UPDATED: MAY 2018. His magic is positively screaming, unable to withstand the thought of Arthur being hurt, of failing to keep him safe. He knows the consequences, but he won't be able to live with himself if Arthur gets tortured because of him. Not if he can stop it. Hurt!Merlin, Gen, H/C.

Trees in Camelot lost their branches all the time, it was almost like Autumn but instead of leaves falling it was branches. Gwaine is convinced that the trees in Camelot are their allies, why else would they only drop their branches on the enemies heads.

Eventually, even the greatest sorcerer in all history has to snap.

As Balinor lies dying in Merlin's arms, he tells him a secret that will change the fate of the kingdom forever. A story told completely in 100 word drabbles.

Practically every time Merlin turned around, there she was again, flapping outside a window or perched on a wall, begging for his attention. Honestly, if he'd known a baby dragon could be so stubborn over constantly returning to his side, Merlin would have left Aithusa in that stupid egg...

Arthur overhears Merlin talking to Lancelot in the armory, and realizes that he doesn't know his manservant as well as he thought. Not a magic reveal. One-shot.

As requested by Cindy4651: Arthur knows, and deliberately disarms himself, standing far away from Merlin and his own weapons to put Merlin at ease, and tells Merlin he knows about his magic. Merlin is as pale as a sheet throughout most of this fic. Happy ending, more fluff than angst, and practically no whump whatsoever. Takes place after Arthur is King... yep thats about it

Rewrite of 5x13, AU canon divergence. What if Arthur didn't hesitate to kill Mordred? How would destiny unfold then? Dedicated to my sister who had requested for a fic where Arthur didn't have to die by Mordred's hands... or at all. Oneshot (though may write another chapter if you all want) and magic reveal as always :) Open/ambiguous ending though

Dragons, Lies, and Prophecies. Or Why You Should Never Lie to an Accomplished Seer. When Morgana sees Merlin talking to a dragon about her in a dream, she decides to confront him about it. Canon divergence from episode 3 of season 2, "The Nightmare Begins." Merlin/Morgana and Arthur/Gwen. Thanks to MonJoh for her great work as a beta.

The knights protect Merlin for a change.

Arthur and Merlin travel to a nearby kingdom to sign a treaty that guarantees the safety of all sorcerers. But not everyone is so open to accepting magic into their lives. There are people who are against magic, and they would hurt Emrys to get what they want. And there are others still,waiting for a chance to settle an old grudge with Merlin. (almost all of the main cast are here)

When Arthur is cursed to transform into a magical creature, he and Merlin set out to find Emrys, a creepy old sorcerer who lives alone in the forest, to find a cure. Finding him proves to be a problem, and when they do, where is Merlin? Arthur discovers more than he was supposed to. (Taken over from The World Out There. Eventual magic reveal.

During "The Witchfinder" Arthur hears Merlin use magic to save Morgana from Aredian. No slash.

Where did Merlin manage to hide when Arthur needed him? After an angry confrontation with his father Arthur finally finds out. And really? Doors? That obvious a place? (Merthur if you wish to read it as that, but can easily be read as friendship)

One-shot. Uther gets an insight into Merlin. Written during my break at work. Disclaimer: IDOM.

Merlin isn't a good judge of fighting skill. At least, that's what Arthur thinks. So how about a friendly wager on the training field? Post-Season 4. Oneshot.

The horses are in agreement: Arthur ought to treat Merlin at least as well as the best warhorse in the stable, and they are going to show him how. One-shot.

Rewrote this 'cause I didn't like the first version. Basically, Arthur starts executing people for sorcery again, Merlin doesn't like it, they fight and Merlin reveals his secret. One of the classic reveal fics! No slash, just good old bromance.

Merlin had had enough of being scorned, of being ignored, of endless chores and never a word of thanks. He'd had enough.

Arthur finds out Merlin's secret in the worst possible way. Set after 4x08 with the premise that Lamia incited the knights to greater violence than we saw on the show, and Merlin suffers from Post-Traumatic-Stress. Reveal fic, no slash.

In an attempt to cheer his Court Sorcerer, Arthur learns of a deeply guarded secret Merlin has kept - something that, when revealed, spurs the young king of Camelot to search with all diligence to mend.

Takes place after series 5. I thought it extremely unfair that Arthur had so little time to see Merlin as he really was. So I decided they needed more time together.

When Merlin leaves for just a few days, Arthur manages to throw the kingdom into a tizzy. Slightly cracked, bromance fic. No slash.

Arthur can't deal with the shock of finding out about Merlin so he goes and yells at Gwaine instead. A short, unrealistic reaction to a magic reveal.

A quick trip to the Valley of the Fallen Kings for some herbs goes belly-up very quickly.

Merlin storms into Gaius' chambers ranting about rumors that are going around... (Protective!Arthur and Gaius, Frustrated!Merlin) WRITTEN FOR HANNAH LYNN MCDONALD.

Sequel to The Finder! When Uther discovers Merlin's magic, Arthur admits he knew - and Uther's hatred drives him to extreme measures. But, the time of The Once and Future King may not be that far away.

It's been a year since Arthur pulled the sword from the stone and retook Camelot. Things have been calm and peaceful for them all since then. Maybe it's time. Reveal!Fic. Arthur's POV

When visiting royals from another land offer Uther something that can sense magic, Arthur has to find a way to protect Merlin. (Sequel to Say Cheese! Arthur!coin!Merlin. NOT slash.)

Set just after 03x10. Merlin was just a clumsy, bumbling idiot, who fell down way too often and didn't have enough meat on his bones to keep from bruising, who wore clothes so threadbare it made Arthur cringe, who showed up too late and too tired too many times, who Arthur never worried about (absolutely not!). And, well, Merlin knew that. But Arthur cared in his own ways.

After Merlin and Arthur visit a recently capture sorcerer in the dungeons, something happens to Arthur the very next day. Something that could very well change their lives forever. (Bromance. Banter, shocked!Merlin shocked!Arthur, protective!Merlin) COWRITTEN WITH VANILLAJ1967.)

An overworked Merlin gets some TLC from his friends.

In which Arthur learns to tell when Merlin is dying. Like anything else about the warlock, this is not as straightforward as it seems. Why does ARTHUR see the light when MERLIN is dying?

What would happen if Gaius died before Leon and Percival rescues him? How would Merlin react and would his friends be abble to help him? AU to 4x13 Character death obviously. Last chapter now online. -Now completely Beta corrected!

A hunting trip and a wayward arrow lead to some interesting times for Arthur and Merlin.

Merlin has to start a fire, and Arthur is being unusually quiet. What is His Royal Pratness hiding? BBC owns Merlin.

It's known that Prince Arthur of Camelot can withstand any sort of physical torture. But his servant has not had the same training. And no one can be trained to watch a friend suffer. But when Cenred holds them both captive, lessons are learnt the hard way. Episode twist of 3x07.

Merlin lies injured in Gaius' chambers. Arthur has something to tell that self-sacrificing idiot of a manservant.

Merlin is having a normal day. Running late with Arthur's breakfast and watching from the sidelines while Arthur trains his knights. A normal day, that is, until one of the knights challenges Merlin to a bet with serious consequences. ONE-SHOT. No pairings. No spoilers.

Yesterday was torture, but Merlin would be glad to take that over this. He's just having a bad day, but a lot of mishaps, aches and pains will swiftly turn out into a very dangerous situation for all of Camelot - and especially Merlin. (Takes place S3E13-S4E1.)

Peace reigns in Camelot; Arthur is King and all is well, if a trifle boring. But evil awaits and Merlin falls victim to it. Love and loss; joy and fear - the servant and the King are trapped and Camelot will fall as they are tortured to betray each other. Can friendship and destiny win under the shadow of possession and hate? Merlin and Arthur Whump. BAMF Merlin.

Whether or not they always admit it, Merlin and Arthur are best friends. Circumstances drive them both from their home, Camelot, and the boys realize they are no longer divided by the boundaries of status. For the first time in their lives, they can truly be friends.

Even all these years later, Arthur still expected him to just pop up one day, cheeky grin in place as he called him a clotpole or a cabbage head for whatever reason.

Merlin's son accidentally overhears a conversation between Merlin and the King, where he learns that the king has some rather surprising plans for him.

Something seemed to be playing on Merlin's mind and Arthur was determined to get to the bottom of it. For one thing; he was his friend, king and master. For another thing; reports were boring and it seemed like a better thing to do.

Merlin gets attacked by a bully and is rescued by the most unlikely person. First chapter studies the Uther Merlin relationship. Second chapter explores Arthur's role of protector to his people. Two-shot. No slash. Minor whump.

Scene never before played in all of Camelot's history opens Leon's eyes. There is crownless King worthy of the throne in Camelot.

this is a story about how Merlin should have revealed his magic to Arthur and about all of the adventures they would have gone on if Arthur had known long before the final battle.

An alternative ending to season 5. It follows on from when Merlin calls Kalgarrah to take Arthur to the Isle of Avalon. Gwaine and Percival did not go chasing after Morgana so Gwaine is still alive. This story has been edited and hopefully will read better. COMPLETE Part two will also be re edited.

After a fight with Morgana, Arthur discovers a very crucial fact about our favourite Dragoon the Great. One that forces him to rethink just about everything he knows... Rubbish summary I know but story is better. Please read and rate! Thanks! (One-Shot)

When Merlin's kidnapped and tortured to the breaking point, will Arthur be able to save him? Contains magic suppression and reveal. Rated for mild violence and uncomfortable themes for some.

Merlin's a stronger influence then Arthur thought, and when arguing with his father he lets something slip. Another random idea turned into a (hopefully) funny- but short- oneshot! Pure humor! Enjoy, peoples!

In which there is a confession. Reveal! Set sometime during 4th season.

So just an average patrol round Camelot, but a conversation goes on to reveal more than expected for Arthur and the knights

You can only survive being half for so long before a part of you is desperate to be whole. Will Arthur figure it out in time with Merlin fighting him every step of the way? Mild Pre Slash mentions. Could actually be seen as deep Bromance, with the right perspective.

It was an otherwise normal day in Camelot, until a servant was discovered using magic to clean the King's chimney.

Merlin is forced to use magic to save Arthur when a hunting trip goes bad. How will the Prince take the news. Will Merlin even live long enough to find out? Will Friendship and brotherhood prevail? More importantly, what will life be like now that the prince knows? what will Arthur think of Merlin's power and what other secrets may be revealed? please review. T for violence.

SPOILERS! My own version of the ending to Season 5. Arthur and Merlin return from Avalon, and Arthur continues to rule Camelot and work toward fulfilling his destiny. Lots of him and Merlin figuring out their relationship now that he knows Merlin has magic. No slash, just lots of closeness and friendship.

Gwaine may be known for his tavern brawls and his willingness to prank his fellow knights, but he is nothing if not loyal. So when Merlin begins acting strangely, Gwaine goes to great lengths to figure out what's wrong, unaware of just what he will uncover in the process: blackmail, plots, danger, and a dark secret hanging over the head of his best friend like an axe. No slash

Merlin closes his eyes as he hears the door unlock. He listens carefully to the steady but determined footsteps as they get closer.

Merlin!whump

Another possible way 'Emrys' could be revealed: Merlin comes home and find out Arthur will try to find 'Emrys'. Merlin may let a little slip in his frustration ...

Arthur hears it.

My first fanfic! A main course of hurt/comfort, with a heaping serving of bromance, a dash of Merlin!Whump, a side of BAMF!Merlin and BAMF!Arthur, with a bit of knights, Gwen, Freya, and plot for added spice. Takes place in a slightly AU, slightly wobbly timeline, fourth season-ish, but you'll figure out what's different as you read. Rated T for violence. Please review!

Merlin cares for an animal and receives something he never would have wanted in return.
