I'm not a writer so don't ask me for a fic, but
I keep imagining a scenario where Merlin is holding Arthur as he's dying, but with a magical grief outburst like Morgana's over Morgause. Except for Merlin it sends his time manipulation powers into overdrive and he ends up reversing it, all the way back to the beginning. I've read several fics where he time travels back, but in this scenario I imagine Arthur ALSO knows about it, because Merlin was holding him as it happened. Imagine Camelot at the very start of season 1 and only Arthur and Merlin have knowledge of the past/future 10 years. I'd imagine it would change quite a bit (they def support Morgana from the beginning, smuggle out any sorcerers because they don't quite want to actually murder the king, maybe Arthur and Morgana end up simply traumatizing him with their stances on magic idk, they adopt mordred and also hatch and smuggle Aithusa in, gaslighting everyone into thinking she's a bird)
Now Arthur has to do the whole 'keep Merlin's magic a secret' thing.. he's terrible at it, Morgana ends up knowing within 5 minutes
I would also imagine it would change the relationship dynamics, sharing 10 years with only one person is bound to bring you even closer together (yes I need merthur to happen here, but it could also be mergwenthur 👀 or if Merthur is endgame Gwen should at least get to end up with both Lancelot and Morgana, she deserves everything)

Okay, but what if, Gwen and Lancelot both know about Merlin having magic and they are courting but they don’t know that the other knows. So, they individually help out Merlin when he has to do magic bc of some crisis and come up with excuses for Merlin so their partner doesn’t find out about their best friend’s deep dark secret.
One day, and it’s between season 3 and 4, Merlin is running ragged because he’s now manservant to king regent Arthur, just avoided an assassination und stopped a friendly sorcerer from outing themselves by sheer stupidity when he overhears Gwen and Lancelot make excuses for Merlin to each other (Lance helped with the assassination and Gwen covered some servant duties) in a hallway. He almost crashes into them on his way to his next dutie and he eyes them suspiciously.
Merlin: You both know.
Gwen: What?
Merlin: You both know. Why don’t you know that you both know?
Lancelot: Come again?
Merlin: I thought you both knew and helped me in agreement?!
Gwen, to Lancelot: You knew and didn’t tell me??
Lancelot, to Gwen: You didn’t tell me either!!
*Merlin leaves bc he has other things to do*
Gwen: Since when did you know?!
Lancelot: Since the Gryffin! You?
Gwen: THE GRYFFIN?! Not that long ago!
Lancelot: Wait, where is Merlin?
Gwen: I don’t know! You tell me!
Lancelot: MERLIN!
Gwen: Lance! Stop!
Lancelot: WHY?!
Arthur: Because I am the only one allowed to yell his name!
Lancelot: God dammit, where are you coming from?!
Arthur: I need Merlin. Where is he?
