    Summary

    "I'm not lying!" Arthur yelled and while his knights all nodded, he could see the slight roll of their eyes. "She's real. I swear on my life she is!" He tried again. Gwaine outright laughed. Arthur really should just behead him. That would solve everything.

    "What's her name then?" Leon asked reasonably. Arthur stared. "My lord, is it...At all possible she might have just been in your head?" He asked, gently. Arthur felt his mouth drop.

    "I am not crazy!"

    "Well..." Merlin began and the prince turned to glare at him. "I've watched you try to put on a shirt, sire."

    "He said crazy. Not incapable." Elyan murmured and immediately winced when Arthur gaped at him. "Sorry, I...Sorry." He offered weakly. "You're not crazy."

    "Just incapable!" Merlin smiled. Arthur hated everyone and swore on his life he would find this damn lake lady even if it was the last thing he ever did.

    Or

    Arthur comes across a beautiful woman near a lake who likes to talk about her husband a lot. Nobody believes him except Merlin (aka Freya lives).

    Summary

    "...what?" Arthur asked blearily as the boy set down his food. Merlin didn't even pause as he went to the dresser and tossed some more clothes out of the cabinet. "You... You have an apprentice?" He repeated and squinted. "Why?"

    "Oh, you know," Merlin shrugged, tossing a tunic on the bed "In case I die or something." He said. The boy blinked before glancing over at Merlin with pursed lips.

    "You're not dying, are you?" He asked and Arthur had to shake his head to try and keep up with the conversation.

    "I don't think so... But you can never be certain." Merlin told him with an air of stoicism. Arthur scowled. Honestly. This was ridiculous. Clearly, this was his servant's newest attempt to get out of work (or at least work less).

    "Merlin, you're not getting an apprentice." Arthur told him. Merlin stopped to look at the king.

    "I am. I have. He's right there. Say hi, Daegal."

    "Hi!"

    Or

    Daegal lives. Merlin takes him on as an apprentice. Arthur isn't sure what's going on. Mordred is also mad for some reason.

    Summary

    Most people imagine magic reveals involve prophecy and drama.

    The Knights of the Round Table discover Merlin’s magic through a series of increasingly suspicious “accidents,” and immediately choose to never speak of it again.

    Not because they’re noble—

    but because they’ve seen what the forest does when Merlin is annoyed.

    Summary

    Merlin has survived dragons, destiny, kings, magic-hating monarchs, and the emotional devastation of watching everyone he’s ever loved die.

    So really, he thought, a simple trip to the wizarding world for tea couldn’t possibly be that bad.

    He was wrong.

    Now he’s somehow become the unofficial emotional support adult of Hogwarts, is being hunted by the house-elves because he keeps fixing castle structural problems himself, dealing with a basilisk situation that Merlin is “pretty sure he dealt with once already, back in the 5th century.” and trying to stop Gilderoy Lockhart from deciding that he is his "professional rival."

    Merlin regrets stepping outside...

    Summary

    Merlin survived Camelot, magic bans, dragons, and several centuries of human stupidity only to get dragged back into wizarding chaos because of a haunted teacup and a screaming Albanian turnip.

    Now he’s accidentally befriended Harry Potter, insulted Gilderoy Lockhart on sight, intimidated Lucius Malfoy without trying, and somehow agreed to teach History at Hogwarts.

    Unfortunately for everyone involved, “Marlin Ambrosius” is very tired, deeply protective, and absolutely not getting emotionally attached to another disaster child.

    Again.
    ---
    Hogwarts’ new History professor is either completely insane or catastrophically stupid.

    Possibly both.

    Professor Marlin Ambrosius talks to doors when he thinks nobody is listening. He threatens suits of armor for “bad attitudes.” He once spent twenty minutes arguing with a staircase because it “knew what it did.”

    Nobody knows where he came from.

    Nobody knows how Dumbledore hired him.

    And nobody understands why the castle seems to like him.
