Summary
A particularly brutal execution has Arthur running for his favorite coping mechanism: working himself to exhaustion so he doesn’t have to think about it. But that means it takes him days to realize that the witch’s death had an impact on Merlin, too. An impact far deeper than Arthur would ever have guessed…

Summary
Arthur glances at him, but doesn’t stop to reprimand, “I told him I didn’t know what he meant. Then he spoke of many things. Said I was a figure of prophecy and legend.” His voice twists around the words, mocking them, “Said I was to rule all Albion. I was about to call him out as some sort of sorcerer’s trick, trying to trap me into oaths or pride, when he began to speak of another. A man I knew well, supposedly, who walked in my inner circle.” The king takes a sharp breath and raps his knuckles on the table, making Merlin jerk his head up, “I have little doubt he meant those who stood with me at the table. When the others come, I am going to eat with them, my men and my favored. And when we are done, I will speak to them of this, and I will know who has been lying to me all this time.”
A quick reveal and a needed conversation.

Summary
Arthur had always known that magic was linked to people's emotions.
That was something his father had mentioned once when he was younger. He sat Arthur down and told him how dangerous magic was.
How you couldn't trust people who chose to use magic. Because their anger and their fears would bottle up and make them explode. They were living bombs.Sorcerers could not be trusted. Even if they seemed like good people, magic would slowly overtake them, corrupt them and destroy everything around them.
And if you were unlucky, you would catch their disease. Their magic. And become a bomb yourself.Series

Summary
De-aged!Merlin, Caring!Arthur, Caring!Knights, Reveal!Fic. If that doesn't say it all, Merlin is turned into a child by ex-druids bent on raising "Emrys" to be their weapon to free magic. Plot is actually just an excuse to write Merlin-as-a-kid fluff. SPOILERS for S4. Set during S4, after episode #whatever, when Elyan is ... you know. This is one I wrote way back in 2012 and have finally migrated it over to this archive in case you recognize it. That's also why it's being posted all in one go. If you haven't read this, I hope you enjoy!
