Summary
(Formerly titled "Sea-Salted Secrets")
An idea that formed from the fact that Merlin was lied to about his heritage. (A heritage that I have tweaked for the sake of this story - a self-indulgent merfolk AU)
.... .... .... ....
Suddenly the doors opened and a haggard-looking Gaius was dragged in next to Merlin and brought to his knees. He was in front of Merlin, though the warlock could still see his face from where he stood.
Gaius started chanting, his eyes glowing, Merlin felt sharp pain from where Gaius’ fingers met his skin; he cried out.
Uther had to put an arm out to keep Arthur in place as light erupted from where they’d been staring. Eyes were averted as the bright beam engulfed Merlin’s frame. When the light faded, Merlin hit the ground with a thud. -

Summary
Merlyn is young when she leaves the small village comforts of Ealdor to face the unknown in the magic-hating capital city of Camelot. It's not her fault that she has magic, and the laws will only do so much from stopping her using it, if the need arises. She wasn't just some common sorceress, after all.
She's the greatest witch who ever lived.- Words:

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.

Summary
When Hunith arrives in Camelot with news of an attack, Merlin knows what he has to do. He is perfectly capable of driving away the likes of Kanen’s men by himself; he has been defending Ealdor since he was ten years old.
However, he has no idea of the lengths Arthur will go to to protect his poor, misguided manservant - such as adopting a disguise and following him home.

Summary
He shouldn’t have done it.
Sleeping with his king — in the state Arthur was in that night.
The worst part is, he doesn’t even remember all of it.— Just enough.The kiss. Arthur’s mouth, warm against his own. The breathless moans pulled from his throat. The way it felt like he was drunk — but even without the potion that caused all of this, Merlin knew one touch from Arthur would make him feel like he'd spent two whole weeks drinking in the tavern.
And flashes of what came next.
Enough to know that this time, he truly fucked up.
So when he wakes, naked in his king’s bed, Merlin does the only thing he can — he grabs his clothes and runs.
He barely makes it to Gaius’s chambers, disheveled and panicked, only to find the old man already holding the book Merlin now realizes — far too late — he mistranslated.
And in that moment, it hits him. There is no undoing this.“Merlin,” Gaius says, voice low “pack your things. Go as far away as you can."
“You’re carrying His Majesty’s child.”Or
Arthur was being too much, and Merlin—a clumsy fool—mistranslated an ancient text and brewed a potion meant to calm His Majesty, only to end up pregnant with the king’s child instead.

Summary
The bandits came from the tree line like shadows given teeth. Arthur had his sword drawn before the first cry rang out, steel singing free of the scabbard as he pivoted toward the rush of bodies.
They were outnumbered—six knights against what looked like twenty men, ragged and desperate, pouring from the dark wood on either side of the forest road.Bookmarked by Scratch_Racket

Summary
Two secrets. Four years. One heat that changes everything — and a discovery, months later, that changes everything again.
Merlin really should have asked Gaius more questions about that contraceptive tea.
