When they can't think of a timely solution, Merlin forces it upon himself to take matters into his own hands and reveals his magic to Arthur.
Follow the story and watch it unravel as Arthur decides if he will follow the path of his father or become the once and future king Camelot deserves.

Summary
“Why not?” Arthur began, shrugging lightly, dismissively “You need blood to live which I have. Why not let you take nourishment from me?”
“You make this absurd suggestion sound so easy.” Merlin replied testily “I could kill you.”
“You could kill me long before this.” Arthur snorted mirthfully, “You spoke of that fact very often actually.”
“Do not jest about this━not about this” Merlin snapped, his voice sounded afraid even to his own ears. He blinked away the tears threatening to fall, his lower lip quivered “I could lose control━lose myself. I will not endanger your life to satisfy my hunger.”
▂
After spending weeks unbearably hungry, Merlin confessed that Gaius’s blood-like potions aren’t curbing his newfound appetite. So, Arthur offered an interesting solution to his problem. The warlock isn’t into the idea at first, but he may grow to relish his lover’s trust.

Summary
Arthur had never cared much for magic, yet he knew his sword was anything but ordinary. It moved as though alive, adapting to his grip and style, gleaming without needing a whetstone. Whenever his hand brushed its hilt, a current of warmth stirred beneath his skin, as if the blade longed to be understood.
In which Arthur uncovered the truth behind Excalibur, and one thing led to another.

Summary
To save the Prince, Merlin's magic is revealed and King Uther sentences him to death, to be burned on the stake. However Prince Arthur has a different plan, where he decides to run away with Merlin, forsaking his rights to the throne and to serve a self-voluntary exile beside Merlin.
This journey covers riches to rags, roads of difficulties and staying incognito from both foes and allies yet under the worst circumstances the duo finds themselves nurturing a bond stronger than friends whilst learning to embrace their flaws to adapt and overcome hurdles together.
Slight Inspiration: From the scene where Arthur tells Gwen (his literal queen) that if he wasn't the King, he would become a farmer and bring Merlin with him.

Summary
Basically, a Time Travel fix-it inspired by the song 'The Challenge' from Epic. Specifically:
'Whoever can string my husband's old bow
And shoot through 12 axes cleanly
Will be the new king, sit down at the throne
And rule with me as his queen
Let the arrow fly
Once you know that your aim is true
'Cause I'd rather die
Than grow old without the best of you'Series

Summary
“Only the once and future king,” Merlin would say, his voice a practised lilt "Can draw the sword from the stone.” It was a line he had repeated to countless tourists, their faces a mixture of scepticism and that stubborn, hopeful glint. Year after year, he scanned those faces, searching for the familiar flash of blue eyes, the proud set of the jaw, any sign of the man he had waited centuries for. He was an old soul, trapped in eternal limbo.
