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
It takes a month after Arthur lifts the ban on magic for him to adjust to the fact that the people around him might actually start to use it. Even stranger is when Merlin learns some from Gaius and, oddly enough, has a bit of a knack for it.
In which Arthur is obtuse, Merlin is trying his best, and Gwaine, Elyan and Leon don't understand why they can't learn to light fires as easily as Merlin did.

Summary
Summary:
“You’re not meant to hide in the shadows, Merlin. One day your words will shape minds… maybe even lives.”
In the shadows of the musty basement mailroom, Merlin Ambrose's fingers fly across a keyboard, opening secret worlds and creating unforgettable characters. His dreams folded away like letters never sent. No one has ever really believed in him, so he doubts himself.
But then fate arrives in the form of golden boy, Arthur Pendragon, who sees something in Merlin and the stories he hides from prying eyes. He challenges Merlin to put himself out there and risk everything for his dream of being a published author.
When disaster strikes and the world above collapses, Arthur and Merlin find themselves thrown together in darkness, clinging to hope, memory, and a promise of love.
This is a story of survival and surrender, of words that heal and wounds that linger, of love that dares to rise from the rubble. Two voices, two hearts, and a future rewritten in the light of the Midnight Sun.

Summary
Young wizard Merlin must move from Scotland to London after the death of his mother. He gets a job with family friend Gaius working at Buckingham Palace where he begins to discover secrets about his family and his destiny. Oh, he also meets Prince Arthur which sort of complicates things.
Prince Arthur is fine. He enjoys reading and football and spending time with friends. He runs a lot. He'll be King one day but whatever. He's fine. Well, apart from his father trying to set him up with every magic user in the world, but he's fine, really. Just fine... Until that skinny, dark-haired, stupidly attractive Scottish boy shows up and throws a whole bucket load of spanners in the works.
Set in an alternate present where magic is common but still illegal in many countries.
