The King's Circle by JessicaMDawn

Word Count: 20,211 / Rating: Teens and Up

Summary: Merlin has disguised himself as a knight, a bandit, and even a woman. Now, he must become a prince. Arthur is the new king of Camelot and nobility comes from across Albion to celebrate his coronation - except one of them is planning something sinister. To find the villain before anyone is harmed, Arthur sends in Merlin – dressed as a visiting noble!

Comment: A wonderful canon era story with established relationship fluff and a bit of drama, as Merlin tries to find an assassin. Also: Merlin dressed in noble attire, need I say more? No, I don’t think so. Lovely art by visions-in-red

Summary: Arthur didn't speak to him for a week after he found out.

Comment: I LOVE this fic. It’s one of the ones I always go back to because it makes me so happy. Arthur finds out about the magic much earlier, and after a small bit of turmoil, he and Merlin ending up working together as a badass duo to take down monsters across Camelot. Along the way they realize their feelings, a good sprinkling of sexy times, Uther stays in ignorant bliss--it’s honestly fantastic.

Do you know this one fic where Arthur knows about Merlin's magic, but doesn't think he is powerful so decides to hunt for a different court sorcerer and then Merlin proves he is indeed a BAMF?

I love underestimated!Merlin, if anyone knows another one, let me know!
