Saving this for later
I've been trying to find an old fic I read on A03 a while ago. it has Merlin be forced to take a truth serum made by guias and uther is the one who ordered it, but the catch is he doesn't confess his magic, he confesses his love for Arthur. any other truth serum fics are welcome tho!!
so i couldnt find the exact fic you were looking for, but i did manage to find a couple other truth serum fics. hopefully someone out there knows which fic you were looking for.
Tell Me A Lie by TheCourtSorcerer (@thecourtsorcerer)
"Did you steal anything from my plate?”
No, had been what he meant to say, of course not. Instead, though, when he opened his lips to let the lie slip out, he paled at what came out in its place.
“Yes, I always do, a sausage this time.”
His heart sunk.
He couldn’t lie.
Or
Merlin is slipped a truth potion, and really, he should have expected Arthur to find out.
~~~
and the cure is the stuff of fairytales!! ahhh
2. Mine by Lola_Rose_Robins (@lorienrobins)
Merlin was hit with a truth spell, which is how Uther ends up finding out about his...well, everything.
~~~
i know it's a curse instead of a serum, but this is the closest thing i could find with uther confronting him while under a truth inducing thingy
3. our lips are sealed by eat_crow
After being dosed with a truth potion? No, they're not.
“Who the fuck calls you Emrys?” Arthur asks, so clearly annoyed. “People of magic. Druids, mostly, but I’ve heard it from fae and leaders of the old religion. Jesus fucking Christ--” he dissolves into hysterical laughter, rocking as far forward as his bonds will allow. “What is in this shit?”

Geralt fell in love with jackster because of his writings. Well, jackster knew that he could never become a Bard, as long as he was heir to the throne. That didn't stop him from indulging in the occasional poem or story or song. He wrote them down in journals, he hid, he wrote so many, he could probably fill a small library.Geralt had come to the ruins of the castle to slay a monster That had taken up residence. But during the battle, jackstar's rooms and his hidden writings revealed gerald had looked for any other way to break the curse.While doing so, he out of curiosity, if nothing else began to read, the journals found alongside the sleeping prince. And as he read more and more of the hidden man behind the facade lost to history and time, he couldn't help but fall in love with what he found. So when it became clear, the only way to wake jackstar up from his sleep was true love's kiss. Geralt couldn't help but be a little selfish and check if it was him before going off to find someone more suitable. And now he's stuck trying to explain why he felt the need to check at all.
As a baby, Prince Julian Pankratz of Lettenhove was cursed to prick his finger and fall into a death-like sleep on his eighteenth birthday.
Sure enough, when Julian turned eighteen, the next thing he knew, he was waking up in a ruined castle—with a white-haired man standing over him.
That’s how Julian learns he’s been asleep for five hundred years, his kingdom of Lettenhove no longer exists, and the white-haired man is a witcher named Geralt. With no throne to return to, Julian decides to embrace the future and pursue what he’s always wanted: the life of a bard. He even picks out a new name for himself—Jaskier.
Meanwhile, Geralt has mixed feelings about his new tagalong, a five-hundred-eighteen-year-old former prince turned bard. Mostly because he’s still coming to terms with the fact that he woke Jaskier up with a true love’s kiss… and has no idea how to tell him.

Kind of want a fic of Arthur being sent on a quest to kill Magic itself, the god of magic, the most powerful sorcerer to walk the Earth, Emrys, and Merlin is just standing in the background sweating
Ok, so maybe Uther hears from some captive druids about Emrys and how he’s magic itself, god of magic, so on so forth. So obviously, to get rid of magic in the world, this Emrys guy has to be killed! So Uther sends Arthur on a quest to get rid of magic once and for all, and of course, Merlin is along for the ride. This could be a pretty cool concept and magic reveal I think. I’m no good at writing though so please someone write this
For safe keeping
Various Warlord!Geralt stories with what I remember them by, which, generally, isn't a good summary of the fic.
Starting with the one that started it all, and the one with Jaskier's lovely song cycle: With a Conquering Air by inexplicifics.
The one where Jaskier is cursed not to speak/the one with cannibalism by nobles: The Fettered Lark by hoomhum.
The one I keep thinking is A/B/O but isn't, and has the Witcher's tending a herd of wisen: as long as the sun and the moon are above by pallidus.
The actual A/B/O fic with Courting: A Wedding to a Warlord by MessengerGabriel.
The one with lots of tributes present in the keep/Witcher Renfri!: raised by wolf and voices by CountessKlair.
The one where Geralt didn't mean to become a warlord but the person he left in charge thinks him warlord/sends tribute: Also Fettered Lark.
That one where Jaskier is the first tribute, but wagons full had come before him, mostly ending up stuffed in storage, including a lute: Do I have to be who I am? by persephonesprince

1. Our Drunken Misunderstanding by InkThroughHerVeins
Arthur and Merlin awake after a night of heavy drinking, jealousy and fun, but they don’t remember a thing including why Merlin’s wearing Arthur’s ring.
~~~
the whole thing lowkey starts bc of arthur’s jealousy, so i think it counts
2. Our Breach of Etiquette by InkThroughHerVeins
“Are we married?” Merlin asked as he burst through the door of Arthur’s chambers.
Arthur looked up from his parchment. “What?”
“Are. We. Married?”
~~~
the sequel to the fic above, where man really went “ah yes, let me marry my fiance without his knowledge to mark my claim”
3. Charting Stars On A Stained Glass Ceiling by mornmeril (@mornmeril)
Merlin leads a relatively content life - or as content as is possible under the rule of a magic-hating King. When the arrogant son of said magic-hating King starts becoming a regular at his coffee shop, Merlin is a little puzzled. When said Prince prat then proceeds to ingest a love potion on Merlin’s watch that results in him having to move into the Royal Palace as Prince Arthur’s (fake) boyfriend, Merlin wonders which deity he has angered. Things only get more complicated from there.
“Welcome to The Drip and Grind, what can I get for you?“ “The same thing I always have,” Prince Arthur says, sounding vaguely disdainful and unbearably posh. “One would think you’d remember my order by now.” Merlin scowls. He remembers His Haughtiness’ order perfectly well, but sees no reason to inflate an already unbearably large ego. “You’re not my only customer,” Merlin keeps his voice coolly polite; barely. “You realise that’s not the proper way to address me?” And is that a smirk at the corner of the stupid prat’s, stupidly gorgeous mouth? “Apologies, your High-and-Mightiness. Now do you think you can tell me your order or must I divine it from my crystal ball?”
~~~
gahhh the mutual pining!11!11!!! jealousy plays a massive role in a scene to get the plot moving forward, which is just what i like
Hay I don't really post but I just remembered a fic but I can't remember the name I've seen people do this before so hopefully it'll help
(sorry for formatting and/or grammar I'm a mobile and severely dyslexic)
What I can remember:
I remember either somewhere in the first chapters Harry and Draco end up having to share a train car, and talk and Draco tells Harry about being forced to become a death Eater. and they come up with a plan. which leads to Draco sending Harry his memories that could incriminate him, and Harry sending them back at a specific time afterwards. so Voldemort doesn't know Draco's true intentions. then they run away together to Grimwold's place. there's also some weird magical stuff with magic phoenix feather tattoos, I don't remember the details but I remember it was pretty cool in the actual fic. Harry also ends up telling everyone what actually happened at the dursleys and calls out and I believe takes Revenge on Dumbledore. oh and Draco pretends that he is a illegitimate black child after running away so he can continue to attend Hogwarts explain why he's close to Harry.
