You are the father (And no I don't care that you weren't participant in the conception) by TheArchbishopOfCanterbury

Summary
"Half of her is Arthur." The dragon spoke calmly, which didn't match the slight curling of its mouth at all. It made Merlin uneasy. "And the other half..."
"Is her mother?" Merlin figured, not really seeing why the dragon was actually grinning now.
That was how children worked, no? One half father, the other half mother. That's how they were made. But the dragon made Merlin rethink his assumption as apparently, he seemed to be very, very wrong.
"The other half is magic." The dragon waited for Merlin to react, but the young warlock didn't. With a disappointed huff, he added, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, "Half of her is you, Merlin. You are magic."
That did not add up on so many levels. And yet, Merlin didn't know how to contradict the dragons' statement. His vision blurred, his heart racing out of control.
"I... I'm a mother now?!"
"Merlin, no-"

Or: Merlin doesn't remember becoming a father, but oh well, he's wrong. And Arthur, of all people, seems to be his co-parent.

Summary
‘Please, Merlin, don’t do it! Don’t! I- I will drink it for you!’
The suggestion had Merlin freeze up, his lips already around the rim of the cup. His heart missed a beat before continuing its punishing rhythm with accelerated speed.
‘You stay right where you are.’ He thought as he tilted the goblet, feeling the first drops gush down his throat.
The rest of it followed swiftly.

How about we force the child to watch an execution (no one but Uther Pendragon said) by TheArchbishopOfCanterbury

Summary
“There’s an execution tonight. A sorceress was caught this morning.”
“Okay…” Merlin hesitated, brows furrowed. Of course he hated to hear about another sorceress being caught, but he couldn’t quite grasp why Arthur was so up in arms about it. “Isn’t that a good thing?”
“What- Yes! Of course it is, but-” Arthur inhaled loudly, eyes going unfocused for a moment before settling on Merlin, hard and intense. The hand he still had on Merlin’s shoulder tightened its hold. “The King thinks it is time for Willow to witness her first burning of a sorcerer.”
Merlin felt as if he’d been hit by a brick. Reeling, he shook his head, trying to grasp what Arthur had just thrown at him.
“Willow?”
Or: Uther thinks making children watching people burn alive is good good for them. Evidently, it's not.
