    Summary

    Gwaine grins against the pale skin, stopping to nibble at a particularly sensitive spot.

    “Stop that,” Merlin says weakly, pushing weakly at Gwaine’s shoulder. “You’ll leave a mark.”

    “Maybe that’s my wicked plan?” Gwaine says with a leer, pushing himself upwards on Merlin’s chest. “That way everyone will know that you are mine.”

    Merlin smiles up at him, content and soft in a way that Gwaine hasn’t seen him since before Arthur became King.

    “You could do with a good mark. How a man trails around after King Trouble-Magnet for years without a mark on him is an impressive feat.”

    Merlin stills under his touch. It’s only for a short moment but Gwaine feels it none the less before Merlin’s body melts back down into the sheets.

    “Oh, you know me,” Merlin says with a small shrug. “Just lucky I guess.”

    Or;
    You've all read scar reveal fics. Well, this is an anti-scar reveal. With Merlin/Gwaine because there isn't enough imo.

    Summary

    King Arthur sets out to keep his promise to the spirit of the Druid boy by repealing his father's ban on magic. Unfortunately, this is easier said than done, for reasons including but not limited to the following:

    (1) He can't change the law until he understands magic better, but no sorcerer is willing to explain magic to him until he changes the law;

    (2) The sorcerers all have some strange obsession with Merlin, which is awakening all sorts of feelings in Arthur that he really doesn't fancy examining too closely;

    (3) He is starting to feel like the butt of some Druid-population-wide inside joke involving the mysterious phenomenon called Emrys; and

    (4) Oh yeah, Morgana is still trying to kill him.

    Thus he embarks on a journey of discovery, diplomacy, accountability, and self-improvement, and maybe even falls in love along the way.

    Summary

    Canon divergent from The Nightmare Begins, where Merlin starts giving Morgana magic lessons and Arthur is suspiciously willing to not ask questions about what his servant is up to. Basically a season two fix it story focusing on Merlin and Morgana's friendship.
