if this is to end in fire

by Le_Tournesol

Arthur startles awake, but the pair in the middle of the clearing are too busy with each other to pay him any heed, which gives Arthur a chance to take in the strange situation unfolding before him. Promptly, Arthur decides he’s dead. He must be dead. There are no other rational explanations for what is happening. None. He’s got to be dead. Because Merlin is yelling at a bloody dragon.--- A rewrite of The Last Dragonlord, wherein Arthur knows about the magic, Merlin doesn't know that Arthur knows about the magic, and Arthur still just assumes Merlin is a crappy sorcerer even after he defeats the Great Dragon.

Of a Pheasant

by Nebula5030

“I still can’t believe there are prophecies about you,” Gwaine said to Merlin. “It feels like something out of a minstrel’s song. The Great and Powerful Merlin. A Drop-Dead Gorgeous Lover and a man with a prophecy behind him to boot.” Merlin scoffed in amusement and lifted a hand to lightly smack Gwaine’s thigh. “Oh, shush. There’s one about you, too, you know.” Gwaine’s hand stopped. A beat, then- “There is?”

Put a little faith in

by Nebula5030

Merlin’s eyes flashed gold, and a small flame came to life in Merlin’s palms, its heat radiating to Merlin’s skin. Merlin slowly lifted his gaze to Gwaine’s face, and found him staring wide-eyed at the fire in Merlin’s hands. Gwaine lifted his shocked gaze a moment later and met Merlin’s eyes. “You have magic?”

Shades of Blue

by Nebula5030

Gwaine, Merlin had noticed, was a happy drunk. After a few flagons of ale, Gwaine became very amiable and easy to please, oftentimes complimenting others from their hair to their shoes and back again. It was interesting to watch, to say the least. It was also one of the reasons Merlin didn’t mind having to take Gwaine back to his room after a night at the tavern.
