Summary
The world is falling into winter. Camelot is falling into war. Arthur will do anything he can to keep his kingdom safe, and he will use whatever weapons are at hand - but, to his horror, his decisions turn out to have severe consequences for Merlin. Naturally, Arthur decides that it is his duty to protect his loyal servant from the shocking truth...
“Let me see if I’ve got this straight,” Lancelot said, beginning to grin. “You want to teach Merlin to use magic – without letting him notice that he’s using magic?”
“He must not find out. If he finds out he has magic, he’ll – why are you laughing? This is no laughing matter, Lancelot!”
Set soon after Season 3.

Summary
Arthur’s been sent to negotiate a trade treaty with Ergyng, a kingdom where magic is perfectly legal. He’s been on diplomatic missions before, but never one that made him feel like he’d made a wrong turn and left reality behind. With Uther desperate enough to even consider such a treaty, much less send his son into a kingdom where sorcery is openly practiced, their Queen could ask for anything vaguely reasonable and Arthur would have to grant it. So why is she only interested in Merlin?

Summary
His manservant clears his throat, still on his feet with his hands folding around themselves, “It’s a spell. It’s the old language, from before men. It will end your curse.”
Arthur looks up at him in disbelief, “It’s that simple?”
Merlin shifts, eyes going somewhere past Arthur before darting down again, “Actually, it’s a fairly complicated spell. You’d need a magic user of considerable strength.”
Arthur growls, crumpling the paper and tossing it down the table, looking down at his now unappetizing meal, “What’s the point, then? I’m never going to find a mage willing to read this off for me. While it’s nice it somehow missed you, I can’t rule Camelot with the people flinching every time I speak.” Never mind that was his father’s method.
Merlin meets his glare, “The curse didn’t pass me over, Arthur.”
“Of course it did!” he objects, “You haven’t been acting like everyone else. You're not afraid of me.”
He smiles then, soft, and says nothing.
Prompt Fill: Arthur’s cursed by a witch to experience his worst fear.

Summary
A small ball hovered in her hand, shining with a silver-blue light. It floated there, getting brighter and brighter before dimming again. Wisps of cloud swirled at its center. It was pure magic.
And the breath was stolen from Arthur’s lungs.
“I thought you’d recognize it. He said it was warm. He said it reminded him of home.”It has been one year since Merlin's death when Arthur meets Morgana on the battlefield.
Somehow, between all the guilt and shame, he discovers that his sister knew Merlin better than he ever did - and ever would.- Language:
