    Summary

    “You knew Merlin had magic,” Morgana accused.
    “I had no idea!” Arthur snapped. “Please, this is clearly hurting him! Just get the cuffs off!”

    Morgana puts Merlin in a pair of cold iron cuffs and chaos ensues. Arthur takes it surprisingly well, all things considered.

    Summary

    Jason knows hypervigilance when he sees it. To the untrained eye it surely looks like the kid isn’t focusing on anything but the ground before him, but his attention is stretching out across the entire courtyard—Jason would bet on it. He can see it in the way his head cocks just the slightest bit toward every sound and every movement, the way his foot shifts almost too minutely to see any time someone moves too quickly, moving back into the beginning of what Jason knows will turn into a fighting pose if he finishes through with it. Some kind of guard, maybe? Even though he can’t be more than fucking twelve. Jason can’t imagine what a kid would be doing here.

    More important than any of that, rank and relations aside…the boy’s eyes are a green bright enough that Jason can see the color from across the courtyard.

    It's a very distinct green. Unnatural.

    The only people he's ever seen with it are Ra's and himself.

    And it isn’t genetic.

    Heir or not, it means the boy must be very valuable to Ra's. He doesn't put just anyone in the Pit.

    Merlin is magic, and iron hurts magical creatures.
    How did Arthur not catch that before!

    Summary

    Merlin and Arthur are kidnapped, but Merlin manages to score a pretty cold iron cuff to match his shackles. After rescue, they decide to wait until they get back to Camelot to take it off. Surely Merlin can last until then without his magic.

    Merlin isn’t as convinced.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry, there must be a mistake.” Uther furrows his brows. “That is my son’s manservant.”

    “This is Emrys, the most powerful sorcerer who will ever walk the earth. It is our deepest honor to be able to offer his hand to your son.”

    “Merlin?” Arthur asks, looking across the hall. Merlin looks the palest and the smallest Arthur has ever seen him. He looks like a scared animal that knows it’s about to be trapped, and that’s when it clicks for Arthur that no part of this is a joke. None of it. “Merlin, what are they talking about?”

    Summary

    Here is what’s supposed to happen: Tim retreats to Titans Tower to (figuratively) lick his wounds after being dosed with Ivy’s pollen. He’s out of his usual antidotes, and had accounted for riding it out on his own. Batman is off-world, and Nightwing is in Blüdhaven. This is not unusual.

    But how it really goes is like this: Tim retreats to Titans Tower to lick his wounds. For a while, he’s alone.

    And then a very much winged Red Hood breaks in with a gun to his head. Wow, Tim needs better contingency plans.

    Summary

    For Jason, this was discovering his brother absolutely ravishing a bag filled with literal blood at five in the morning. The thought that Tim might be a vampire didn't even cross his mind. He concluded that Tim had gone insane.

    “I’m not a vampire,” Tim insisted with blood dripping from his chin, the half-empty pouch he had been drinking from still clutched in his hand. “I swear.”

    /

    If you asked Bruce, then Tim simultaneously managed to be the most tame and unhinged child of all. His behaviour ranged from graduating early out of spite, to making clones of his not-really-deceased (boy)friend. Bruce held the opinion that Tim would have to come out on his own terms. Which was why he didn’t press the vampire- situation either.

    Summary

    “Arthur had always known that there was something wrong with Merlin, that the idiot was a bit addled in the brain or something, with those fumbling, tripping, bumbling ways of his that no amount of magical power seemed to be able to fix. But this?”

    Five times Arthur and Gwen notice something weird about Merlin, and one time he shows them everything.

    Summary

    Prompt (story diverges from this)
    Arthur is being tested.

    A sorcerer makes a few dozen copies of Merlin.

    Sorcerer: if you're really that good of a king, then you'll figure out who the real one is.

    Arthur thinks it's easy. But all of these Merlin's seem to have a quirk of Merlin's intensified. It makes things difficult, because Merlin has days when he acts exactly like that.

    Only one thing he knows for sure. It's definitely not the one who just defeated one of the other Merlin's with magic.

    Excerpt:
    Arthur reached for his sword, just in case. “What do you want me to do? Figure out which the real Merlin is?”

    “Exactly.” The mercenary’s eyes glinted with mischief and he suddenly looked much more like a threat. “These Merlin’s have been designed, based on YOUR thoughts about him,”

    Arthur immediately flushed

    Summary

    Now, Arthur had grown up draped in finery. Given gold and silver and all manner of rare, shiny things meant to show his status. Arthur knew gold. He had seen it being poured by a blacksmith, gently bent into shape by a jeweller, and seen it descending onto his own head as a heavy promise. Arthur knew gold.

    Merlin’s eyes weren’t gold.

    Or Merlin finally unlocks his full power - he's pretty much magic incarnate after all

    Summary

    Every ten years or so a tournament is held between all the five kingdoms. In which one (strongest of the kingdom) sorcerer is chosen as a representative of their king/queen/crown bearer.
    The monarchs, however, do not choose the sorcerer for themselves, which Arthur is thankful for, since magic is still banned in Camelot. Instead, they are chosen by the mirror of truth. It shows the face of the strongest sorcerer in said lands, so Arthur can reach out to them.

    When the mirror finally chooses the participants, Camelot's champion is......... well i mean, who is the strongest magic user in Camelot? Exactly!

    It's Morgana.

    After all, Merlin was born in Cendred's kingdom.

    Summary

    Merlin felt it rush past him, and then Arthur was on the ground, clawing at his throat as he gasped for air.
    In the blink of an eye, Merlin’s magic tore through Sigan’s spell. Coughing, Arthur doubled over, only just catching himself on his hands, while Merlin wrestled his magic back under control.
    Withstanding the urge to rush to Arthur’s side, Merlin glared at Sigan. “You will not harm him.”

    Ever since he defeated Nimueh, Merlin's magic is getting harder and harder to keep in check; especially when it comes to protecting Arthur. After his magic is revealed during Sigan's attack on Camelot, things are beyond tense between the two of them — and as the tension grows, Merlin's control is slipping.

    Summary

    "Having been near you all these years, I am not unaware of the goings on of court, or the way you nobles like to do things.” He gives a half smile at that but doesn’t convince himself of his own humor, “I also know… that when a new king comes to power, he inherits his predecessor’s information network. His spies.”

    Arthur leans back, folding his arms and narrowing his eyes, “That’s true, Merlin. I’ve been expecting whomever my father’s last spymaster was to come to me for days now. Do you know who it is?”

    Don’t fidget. Don’t shift your weight. Goddess take you, Merlin, stand still. He clears his throat, “It was Gaius for a long time.”

    The young king relaxes an imperceptible amount, and nods, “He’d have access to everyone, from villager to noble, and friendly relationships with most. Who is it now?”

    Merlin stares at him, then spreads his palms helplessly, “Me.”

     

    Merlin is Camelot’s spymaster and must reveal himself as such to Arthur when he becomes king.

    Summary

    “Because you’re a great sorcerer?” There was no derision in Arthur’s voice this time, just something that sounded an awful lot like panic as Merlin reached forward.

    “No, sire,” Merlin said, glancing up at Arthur again. He knew, from the way that he could feel the magic in his blood, that his eyes were gold. “I’m the greatest.”

    Summary

    Merlin would have expected his magic would be revealed in some epic life or death scenario.
    Not for something so mundane.

    “You know what. Yes. I do confess I have magic.”, Merlin said. And suddenly the room was silent. Honestly, why were they surprised? He was just condemned to death for sorcery.[...]
    "No. Gaius didn't know.. [....] In fact, I've been very careful hiding my secret from all of you. [...]
    Which is why this is the stupidest thing I have EVER heard!”, Merlin shook of the knights hand, as he stepped forward to the king. Like a mad man. To be fair, he was a little mad.

    “Burned... for heating tea.”, Merlin shook his head.
    [...] "How fucked up is that?!"

     

    Alternatively: what if Merlin was actually condemned to be executed but just decided to -not let them do that.

    Summary

    If he had to describe himself, Flambae would need three words, and three words alone:

    Hot, strong, heroic. Two of these were objective.

    If he had to tell the truth?

    Chad exists in pieces. Most of them not good. But trying their best not to be worse.

    They certainly wouldn’t be good enough for Mecha Man.

    Which makes every news outlet in Torrance deciding he and Robert must be fucking all that more confusing.

    Or,

    Everyone in Torrance thinks Flambae and Mecha Man are dating. Robert has no issues with that.

    “If an SDN employee is unable to acquire lunch of some kind during his or her scheduled break, sack lunches (containing one ham and cheese sandwich, one gala apple, and one milk carton) are available at […] and will be paid forward using the employee’s next available paycheck.”

    It’s painfully obvious that Robert isn’t eating well. Flambae takes it upon himself to fix that, in the most Flambae way possible.

    "So you wanna kill him? Thought you were over that."

    "No! That's the problem!" Flambae angrily stabbed a scallop with his fork. "I don't want to kill him, but I feel this fuckin'-- it's not anger, it's this weird... aggression. Can't explain it."

    "So you wanna fuck him?"

    Flambae pinched the bridge of his nose. "No, fuck off. This might be a real problem for me. What if I give in to the urge and just crisp him at his seat, huh? What then? Supermax for life, that's what."

    --

    Flambae experiences cuteness aggression for the first time. He doesn't know how to deal with it.
