Summary
Perhaps he could have ignored the glittering motes of magic that danced through the room. He could have blamed this strange place of power for their presence, but he could not deny the truth that made itself plain before him, painted in blue eyes turned to bright, brazen gold.
Merlin was a sorcerer.
---
When Sir Leon is gravely injured, Arthur, Merlin and the knights seek shelter in an old Sanctuary cave, but the magic within is far from powerless, and the goddess is always watching. Can they overcome their fears and find their way back to freedom, or will they be lost forever in their own enmity?

Summary
When Arthur and his knights are led into a trap and captured on Dyfed’s territory, Gwen is prompted to invoke the right of single combat. But, when Dyfed’s chosen champion is revealed to be a powerful sorceress, Merlin must take on the guise of Emrys to fight for Camelot. In doing so, the young warlock will discover just how much he is willing to sacrifice for his friends, and for the future he believes Arthur Pendragon is destined to create.
“It had never been the dragon’s prophecy he believed in so fiercely– it was Arthur. If Arthur died here, it would be like losing a part of himself. He would forever be incomplete. Severed. Merlin would remain frozen in time.”

Summary
“I have come to bring you a message, Uther Pendragon. That child is an abomination, a product of the corrupted use of magic. The Disir have spoken. They have prophesied that a child will come who will be the opposite, who will be pure magic made flesh and who will free the world from the tyranny of the Pendragon and the stain they have left on this land. Their name will be Emrys, and they will be destined to bring an end to your dynasty. Emrys is your son's destiny, and also his doom."
Or:
AU where everything is more or less the same except Merlin’s destiny is to kill Arthur.
Or:
Merlin was born to kill Arthur. Instead, he falls in love with him.

Summary
After Arthur disobeyed his father and retrieved the Mortaeus flower for Merlin's cure, Arthur's frantic pleading to save Merlin led to a misunderstanding that actually convinced Uther to take the flower to Gaius.
Now all Arthur has to do is explain to Merlin why Uther thinks they are lovers.
And while Uther is supportive of the relationship, he requires it kept secret. But in his paranoia, Uther misinterprets every innocent interaction between the two as something far more intimate, to the embarrassment of everyone involved.
And then the knights begin showing up...
