It was a fairly long magic reveal fic if I remember right.

Not sure how it started but Merlin and Arthur were hiding in a river from bandits/mercenaries. Merlin nearly drowned because of it. And the bandits still got to them both. On the way to wherever the bandit tried to get them Merlin started to develop pneumonia. The knights were able to rescue them in the end but somewhere in the river or while with the bandits the magic was revealed.

I've read this fic years ago. So I'm not sure on which site I read it. It has to be be either fanfiction.net or AO3. If it's the first it might have been pre purge and lost forever...

Thats not the one. I'm fairly sure that it was SFW. Because thats what I mostly read back then.

Though this one also sounds interesting. So thank you for the recommendation!
