Summary
“A rock?” Arthur stared skeptically at the map laid out in front of him.
“Yes, sire… well, a stone.” The stableboy nodded nervously, glancing at the King before adding, “That is what they was saying. A stone that can’t be tricked nor fooled, one that can detect even the smallest bit of magic in a person.”
* * * * * * * * * *
Or I really liked the idea of a stone that identifies magic users and how strong their magic is from 'A Warlock's Wish' by vividpast and couldn't stop thinking about it.

Summary
Arthur has known for a long time that Merlin means more to him than he thought anyone, or anything, ever could.
When everything he thought he knew about his manservant changes, Arthur has to decide if he really ever knew Merlin at all, or if everything he dreams of having is going to slip through his fingers.

Summary
When Merlin first gets to Camelot and sees the king chop off someone’s head, he thinks that perhaps someone should do something about that. When he gets called by the dragon locked in the king’s basement, he thinks someone should do something about that pretty quickly. When the revenge of the executed man’s mother doesn’t take out two dozen innocent people as collateral damage to the king only because he intervenes, he remembers that he is, in fact, someone and is, according to Gaius, pretty powerful. So.

Summary
Arthur hadn’t stirred. His face was peaceful in sleep, utterly unguarded in a way Merlin so rarely saw. Without the weight of duty pressing down on him, without the sharp edges of his arrogance, he looked… soft. Younger.
For a moment, just a moment, Merlin allowed himself to look.Then, something inside him twisted, something deep and old and ancient, something that hummed beneath his skin like magic waiting to be cast.
And then, a darker thought crept in. A whisper of knowledge he had long known but had never spoken aloud.
He could conceive.
----------
After a drunken night leads to an unexpected pregnancy, Merlin struggles to hide the truth, but when Arthur finally learns he’s carrying his child, their relationship deepens as they prepare to face the future together.

Cue evil sorceresses, time travel, and an adventure for the ages.
Oh, and Merthur, of course. -

Summary
As everyone who has ever watched the show, I too was devastated by the ending. Naturally, I had to imagine a version of it with happy ending. The start point being somewhere in the early seasons, not really set anywhere particular.
Not really time-period accurate, and I also decided to ignore Christianity, the same as the show did.
The work is completely written, will post chapters as soon as I've edited them.
Hope you enjoy!

Summary
Not finished. Will update.
Harry screamed and screamed and screamed. The sound echoing throughout the forest, causing some of the Death Eaters to actually flinch. It was blood-curdling. The pain was worse than being tortured under the Dark Lords wand. He couldn't do anything as a piece of his soul was ripped from him.

Summary
"Neither can live while the other survives."He'd repeated it a thousand times in his mind until it became an unbearable echo.Yet, there was something no one had told him: the prophecy held an even stranger secret. That night, following a whisper that seemed to come from within himself, Harry touched a Time-Turner he had never seen before. A twist, a jolt, and suddenly he wasn't in Hogwarts anymore, but in a different London, a bleaker, older one. There, someone was waiting for him. It was a young man with a penetrating gaze and a dangerous smile: Tom Riddle. Harry recognized him at once, not from the photos he'd seen, but from an invisible bond that squeezed his heart. Tom, without any surprise, called him by name, as if he had always been waiting for him.
—At last—Tom said, approaching calmly.—I thought you'd take longer to get here.
Memories of childhood, of loneliness, of rage and a desperate desire to be loved flooded Harry.
—I am your beginning and your end—Tom whispered.—You are my only chance at redemption, and I… am your only destiny. -

Summary
“You ever think the universe is laughing at you?” Buck asked, looking back out over the city.
“Not particularly.” Hen said gently.
“It’s funny. Like, the whole, when you get to rock bottom and you don’t think there’s any more, any further to fall, right? But then it turns out you were wrong. Rock bottom wasn’t actually rock bottom. It was the overhang.”
“Overhang for what?” Hen asked worriedly.
OR
A small thing can topple the strongest of resolves. For Buck, it's been one thing after another after another. But he doesn't snap, he doesn't get loud, he doesn't want to be more of a burden.

Summary
All witches and warlocks are omegas, and Merlin is no exception. He's hidden his presentation since the second he set foot in Camelot, for being a warlock's mate would grant incredible power- power that people would go great lengths to possess. When King Cenred of Essetir visits Camelot, Merlin finds himself the target of a man determined to bend magic to his will.
Merlin would rather die than give his magic over to anyone but Arthur. It just might come to that.

Summary
The Prince, despite his best efforts, could not stop his hand from shaking as he held his sword to Merlin’s- no, not Merlin’s- pulse. The boy tried to crawl backwards a bit, away from the sharp edge, but Arthur just moved forward with him. The sword trembled with adrenaline against the sorcerer’s pale skin.
Arthur couldn’t help but notice the boy’s ruddy cheeks, bright red from the cold and exertion. The snow made light dance in his tear tracks. The neckerchief that Merlin commonly wore was discarded on the snow; It must have fallen during the fight. It left his smooth neck exposed to the cold, riddled with goosebumps, and unmarred save for the blood-soaked steel, pressing in on his pulse point. Arthur could not deny that the… thing wearing Merlin’s face was beautiful.
Merlin is forced to reveal his powers during an attack. Chaos and angst ensue. I feel like most people give Arthur too much credit in magic reveals.
