Summary
Arthur wasn’t sure what this charm would do, if anything, but he’d held it in his hands, and he’d pressed it to his lips, and he’d willed all of his strength and protection and fervent desire for Merlin to be okay into the metal.
He’d broken his father’s laws for Merlin, Uther’s one cardinal rule, and that had to count for something. Arthur just wasn’t sure what.
…
Arthur notices the cuts and bruises on Merlin’s skin and assumes the worst. Out of options, he turns to magic for help.

Summary
“If Arthur, maker of knights, can train a lowborn man to your satisfaction and prove we can strengthen our defenses from among our own, you will release me from this marriage agreement.”
To save Morgana from a loveless political marriage, Arthur has three months to turn a peasant into a knight. The only problem? That peasant is Merlin.
Otherwise known as She's All That but utter medieval nonsense.

Summary
Uther has been dead for a few weeks, and things have been going a little too well in his absence. When he comes back as a spirit hellbent on returning Camelot to the way it was during HIS reign, Arthur (understandably) has a few problems with that. To make matters worse, the only other person who can see Uther is Merlin, a telltale sign of his magic. Amidst guilt, secrecy, and threats against everyone he holds dear by the very person he's been grieving; Arthur must decide where his loyalties truly lie.

Summary
“You-” Ygraine said, stepping up to point a finger in Uther’s face. “You are a liar and a murderer. The fact you think someone as sweet and caring as Vivienne is destined to marry you is a tragedy in itself, but if you expect me to hand over my brother’s rightful claim to Camelot’s throne-”
“My claim to Camelot’s throne,” Uther threw back, face growing more red as Arthur looked between his parents in utter bewilderment. Merlin didn’t blame him. He had envisioned Uther and Ygraine’s love story to be more… well, less based in war and battles.
Ygraine’s eyes narrowed as she grabbed a goblet of wine and threw it in Uther’s face. A few of the guards shifted, but Uther only raised a hand to pause them, spitting out the wine with furious eyes.
“You,” Ygraine said coldly. “Are unworthy to sit upon a stool, let alone a throne.”
From a few feet away, Balinor scoffed as he sipped from his own goblet. “I kind of like having her as a hostage, Uther. She livens up the place.”
Or
In a desperate attempt to save Arthur at Camlann, Merlin tries to reverse time. It works perhaps a tad too well.
