I want more chaotic, irritating, casual magic from merlin.

Like someone points a sword at him and he just flashes his eyes and the sword has been turned to an angry snake. When they give him a baffled look he shrugs and walks away.

Or someone is trying to put poison into Arthur's drink but when they go to pour it, a steam of salt comes out of the bottle. Merlin looks over their shoulder and says, "something tells me that won't taste very good". The person runs away when Merlin flashes his eyes.

Maybe when he's cornered in a cave, he'll just amplify all the sounds, so a mouse squeaks and it sounds like a great beast. The men who cornered merlin look around and then flee when they hear it again. Merlin smiles and bends down to pick up the little mouse as it scurries by. He gives it a small piece of bread in thanks.

Merlin in the last episode, trying with all his might to save his king (again).

[merthur-she-wrote]

Prompt:

King Arthur and his knights have heard rumours of Emrys, a god the Druids worshipped. Emrys was said to be kind, merciful, generous, and powerful. Arthur refused to follow any gods of the old religion, but he secretly admitted to himself that if he did, he would choose the god that protected the people out of genuine love and compassion, not those other gods that needed all sorts of sacrifices and tithes to buy their favour.

But while out on a patrol or something, he meets a group of druids worshipping in some sort of magical and sacred clearing in the forest, when Morgana and her own entourage ambushes them from behind. Knowing they’re outnumbered and outmatched, and that even the druids, children and all, would fall to Morgana’s cruelty, Arthur prays to Emrys, begging to be saved, promising anything, everything.

And Merlin saves them.

The druids tell Arthur that Merlin is Emrys, but Arthur doesn’t understand. He blames himself, thinking that by his prayer, his offer, he accidentally sold Merlin for their safety. He thinks Emrys has taken Merlin to be his vessel, possessing him.

And he wants his friend back.

Feeling bad? feeling weird? Not to worry! Write Merthur fic! It doesn't really fix anything, but then you have Merthur fic! How lovely.

any merlin going batshit insane and destroying everything so arthur is forced to come back fics?

The Return Of The King by Lola_Rose_Robins (@lorienrobins)

Merlin has resorted to drastic measures to get Arthur to come back. It works, and now Arthur has to stop his friend from causing too much damage. However, stabbing people with a sword in the middle of the street tends to be frowned upon these days.

~~~

merlin going batshit insane is lowkey implied in a small ish scene here, but it's not the focus of the fic if that's ok with you

2. for you, I would ruin myself (a million little times) by queerofthedagger (@queerofthedagger)

Merlin does not stop. He doesn’t stop until there is nothing left of the tower but dust, nothing left of the island but sand. He doesn’t stop until the sky is black and the earth is scorched, and the rage in the centre of his chest has simmered down to a low flame.

He takes in the destruction, takes in the changed landscape that has not been changed since he laid Arthur to rest here. It’s not peace that he feels, but it’s the closest he has got in a long time.

Over a thousand years of waiting, and one split-second of slipped control. Merlin destroys the centre of the Sidhe's power, but destiny has never been this easy to fend off.

~~~

ok destructive!merlin is technically not the direct cause of arthur rising in this fic, but his destruction indirectly does lead to it so i think it counts

3. Only For You by albions_need_is_greatest

"I'm a sorceror. I have magic. And I use it for you, Arthur. Only for you."

~~~

For 1500 years, Merlin has tried almost everything he could think of to get King Arthur to return. Every incantation, every spell, every ritual, during every possible phase of the moon. Eclipses, Meteor showers, he had tried them all. He sat by the lake of Avalon during every coronation, every anniversary, and still the waters remained silent. What if, for Arthur to return, Merlin needs to be the very thing he fought against all this time? What if he needs to be the reason Albion is at its time of greatest need?

~~~~

this fic has merlin properly going for it to get arthur back, so it probably fits your request most. hope that helps!
