Summary
They sit there quietly for a few minutes, clock ticking away as Arthur drinks his coffee and Merlin lets the steam of his own waft up his nostrils. Something about the simple potential, the easy domesticity, sets Merlin off.
Before he can stop it, he sets his coffee down, puts his head in his hands.
“Merlin, what—” Arthur starts, distress evident from the way he sets his cup down as well and reaches forward as though more touch could help this.
“Why do you keep doing this to me, Arthur?” Merlin asks, breath huffy and voice all cloggy-sounding. He’s embarrassed, he realizes, that he’s let this go on in the foolish hope that Arthur will wake up and realize that he does love Merlin, not Gwen.
He feels Arthur still, because his arms are splayed out in front of himself on the table as though he were trying to reach for Merlin.
Merlin gets no answer to his question, though.
“Leave, please, Arthur,” Merlin says roughly; he has to force himself not to call him back when he hears Arthur take a breath in sharply, before standing, gathering his few things, and leaving the apartment.

Summary
“Merlin, I'm the greatest swordsman in the five kingdoms.” Arthur boasted. “I’ve fought more battles than I can count.”
”I’m aware, sire.”
”And I’ve always survived.”
”Not always.” Merlin muttered.
---
The day Arthur dies is the day Merlin refuses to let end. Again. And again. And again. Merlin’s stuck in a spiral—a dizzying, cruel dance of death and reset. With each attempt, his heart grows heavier, his magic darker, until all he can do is break.
And when the shards of his despair drag Arthur into the storm, the past and present shatter, leaving nothing but raw truth and fragile hope.
Now there's no more running. Just the two of them, the end of the world, and everything left unsaid.

Summary
Arthur’s voice dropped, more serious. “It’s not like you to hate anyone, Merlin. But you look at Mordred like he’s your enemy.”
Merlin went quiet.
"Merlin?"
“Maybe he is,” he whispered so quietly the words barely made it past his lips.
“What?” Arthur asked in disbelief.
....
Arthur trusts Mordred. Merlin knows better.

Summary
Merlin was seriously out of it. Perhaps if he wasn't injured or he had managed to get an hour more of sleep, he wouldn't be in the situation he was now, because when Arthur demanded Merlin light a fire to deal with the awful cold of winter, he didn't even hesitate to turn to the fireplace and light one... with magic. When he turned round to see Arthur facing him (wasn't he behind the changing screen), it suddenly dawned on Merlin what he had just done.
A sleep deprived Merlin accidentally reveals his magic to Arthur and the king just laughs. What happens next results in an angry Merlin.
A magic reveal where Arthur already knew but didn't tell Merlin and when Merlin realises he knew for years gets rightfully pissed. -

Summary
Merlin could feel his magic trying to break out, threatening to destroy everything around him. Realizing that he would not be able to hold her back, he decided to let her go. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, plunging everything into semi-darkness. Even Arthur and the others will probably end up in the rain he caused.
or
Devastated that his friends have forgotten about him, Merlin leaves Camelot and goes to meet the fate that he chooses.

Summary
“Arthur.”
Merlin is stumbling, barefoot, ungainly, down to the water’s edge before he has even made sense of what he’s seeing. He stands there, too hopeful to breathe, and watches the spot where the water tangles.
A hand. A head. Shoulders, a cape of water, and Merlin is running, crashing through the water, to the figure climbing out of the lake.
They meet where the water is waist-deep, and there they stop, several feet apart.
But it isn’t Arthur.
It’s Merlin.
Or, a grieving warlock tries to bring back his king.

Summary
Merlin is the perfect servant.
That's how everyone figures out something is wrong.
After a large argument with Arthur, Merlin shuts off. He no longer will argue with Arthur.
Arthur is being driven insane by the silent treatment, or more accurately to respectful treatment, and drowns his sorrows at his father's ball.

He leaves Camelot alone the next day, but Arthur rides after him, determined to find him and work toward understanding. He may have said there was no place for magic in Camelot, but there is a place for Merlin. And perhaps one day soon for his magic as well.

Summary
Arthur glared at the pile of paperwork on his desk, imagining all the ways in which he could dispose of it and rid himself of the endless work. He could toss it to the wind, he could hold it under water until the text became illegible, he could set it on fire, he could do a thousand things to it, things that were oh so satisfying to imagine.
Now if only Merlin wasn't such a clumsy oaf and shook him out of his daydream it'd be almost perfect.
And why could he smell smoke?
