    Summary

    I thought it would be really funny if, instead of finding out about Merlin's magic and having one episode to react, Arthur instead spent a whole season being an absolute prat about the whole thing. Here are some things I've imagined from this scenario, set in that magical period between Season 3 and 4 when the knights of the round table were running around being chaotic dumbasses and stealing chickens.


    "Merlin," yelped Arthur, outraged and relieved in equal measure. "What on earth are you- Is this what you meant by powerful, ancient magic? You can make your eyes go sparkly and then fix people's clothing?"

    Merlin stopped short and rubbed the back of his own neck awkwardly. "Among other things, yes."

    "And you've been moping around all day about this?"

    "You didn't believe me! I was baring my soul to you and you were so arrogant that you just-"

    "You told me that you'd saved my life a hundred times with the mystical power of your warlock skills," said Arthur, wiggling his fingers as though casting a spell. "Not that you were hiding the ability to dress me more efficiently."

    Summary

    According to Uther Pendragon, there's only one way to rule a kingdom, and that's by keeping your subjects in line with harsh punishments and an atmosphere of fear.

    Arthur isn't entirely sure that's true, but without a counter-example, the prince is beginning to follow in his father's footsteps, throwing people in the stocks for minor infractions and meting out physical punishment whenever he sees fit.

    That's is, until a troublesome servant turns up to teach him that his true power lies in his ability to inspire those around him.

    Physical discipline seems to be entirely unnecessary for Merlin - who is always so horrified by the prospect of having to actually do his job that asking him to perform his normal duties is punishment enough for any infraction - but there is something about the way that he gasps and hisses in his grasp that makes Arthur want to play rough.

    As Arthur starts to treat his people with a more gentle hand, he comes to realise that when he slaps Merlin around the head for being an idiot, what he's really saying is "I love you".

    Summary

    For five years now, since the afternoon Arthur was twelve, he had gone down into the roots of the castle nearly every day of his life. He knew what was down there. He knew, better than anyone living, that there was no terrible beast in the dark. There was nothing down there at all but the only boy he loved best in all the world.

    Or,

    The story of a boy (a dragon) imprisoned beneath the earth, and his Prince Prat.

    Summary

    'Merlin, my friend. What –?'

    'I need your help hiding a body.'

    Every man in the antechamber froze, the silence thick and breathless. No one so much as moved as they all stared at the threshold, where the door stood ajar only a fraction, blocking them from view.

    Yet it was Lancelot's reply, carried on the edge of a weary sigh, that made disbelief stutter in Arthur's chest.

    'Again?'

    ******

    A fragment of overheard conversation leads Arthur and his knights deep into the Darkling Woods, where the truth about Merlin's magic finally comes out.
