Merlin, sad, to Arthur: You're going on a picnic with Gwen, here are flowers you can give to her

Gwen and Arthur on a picnic blanket in the most beautiful scenery one could imagine

Arthur: Guinevere I-

Gwen: This is horrible! Not you I mean of course-but I don't even like you!

Gwen: As more than a friend sorry and Morgana set this up but I - you see I like Morgana

Arthur, so relieved he lets himself fall back so he's laying on the blanket: thank god!

I’m looking for some canon-era fics where Merlin has to deal with assassins/people trying to hurt Arthur, with bonus points if Arthur doesn’t know about it and/or he finds out in the story. I just really love BAMF Merlin and him being appreciated!

💕💕

Hiya love, thanks for your kind words!

I have a few on my mind— all excellent, chef’s kiss with cherries on top, I’d wipe my memory just to reread them all over again.

1. A Leap Of Faith by @fancyhwrites. 5K, M.

Author’s Summary:

Ambushed on a hunting trip, Merlin pretends to betray Arthur to save his life. But in order to get home, Arthur must trust Merlin like never before, or risk losing everything.

2. What I'd Have Done by @flight-of-fantasy. 119K, G.

Author’s Summary:

For better or for worse, Arthur knows Merlin's secret. The problem? Merlin doesn't know Arthur knows. This leaves Arthur with a predicament... and an opportunity. A test. Three trials and three opportunities for Merlin to prove he doesn't deserve death. Arthur hopes he will pass them. Maybe then the image of Merlin's golden eyes will stop haunting him.

3. Splitting the Road by @queerofthedagger. 3K, T.

Author’s Summary:

and all the chapters are written and finished and waiting to be uploaded! i am very proud of myself so please maybe check it out

Someone is love potioned for Merlin.

Merlin: No, I really, I shouldn't, I can't-

Infatuated person: you are the love of my life-

Arthur: Merlin, what the hell is going on? Who is this person, have they lost their mind?

Merlin: They are

Person: We are destined to be together. You love me back, right? Please kiss me

Merlin: I, I can't, Arthur help me

Arthur: what? You rejecting them? This is your chance to finally get a life

Merlin: you are definitely not helping, Arthur

Arthur: am I so important you can't have a little romance? *teasing with a jealous undertone Merlin can't sense*

Person: Is he the reason? *heartbroken and angry but stepping away*

Merlin: *seizing his chance* yes, yes. That's it. Arthur is the reason

Arthur: wait what?

Person: you think HE is your destiny?

Merlin: *pauses* I know, sometimes I can hardly believe it myself.

Arthur: Merlin, what are you doing?

Person: You love HIM? HIM!!!!!

Merlin: eh

Arthur: Merlin, you're not-

Merlin: Yes, yes, surely that's it. I must be mental. *looks to a red looking Arthur* He rejected me of course, but *theatrically raises hand* the heart wants what the heart wants.

Person: *runs off crying*

Merlin: well that was painful. See you at dinner, Arthur *leaves*

...

Arthur:

Arthur: ...

Arthur: *getting redder by the second*

Arthur: *crestfallen* but
