Summary
A small ball hovered in her hand, shining with a silver-blue light. It floated there, getting brighter and brighter before dimming again. Wisps of cloud swirled at its center. It was pure magic.
And the breath was stolen from Arthur’s lungs.
“I thought you’d recognize it. He said it was warm. He said it reminded him of home.”It has been one year since Merlin's death when Arthur meets Morgana on the battlefield.
Somehow, between all the guilt and shame, he discovers that his sister knew Merlin better than he ever did - and ever would. -

Summary
Arthur is captured while scouting Cenred's territory and thrown into a dungeon cell. He's not alone—his cellmate is Merlin, a mysterious prisoner who somehow recognizes Arthur as royalty despite his disguise, and who tries to keep spirits light even as he's dragged away daily by guards.
Arthur quickly realizes something is terribly wrong. Merlin is dying, slowly drained by strange manacles and Cenred's hunger for magic. Over days and weeks, Arthur watches helplessly as the cycle repeats: recovery, torture, deterioration. He falls for the strange, brilliant boy who jokes through agony and shields Arthur from darkness.

“See,” Merlin said, still with that stubborn set to his jaw, but there was a slight tremble in his voice, now. “This is what you get for sticking your nose into things not concerning you.”
“Sticking–“ Arthur boggled. “Not concerning– YOU ALMOST DIED!” He bellowed from the top of his lungs.
“Whoo boy,” he heard Leon say from across the clearing.

Summary
“Well, this is the game. It is remarkably simple. You just have to steal Merlin’s neckerchief.” Immediately, complaints erupted from the knights.
“The neckerchief? He always wears it!”
“How are we supposed to steal it?”
“Merlin never takes it off for some reason — no way I’m going to risk my life and find out why!”
“Silence!” Arthur stared at the group, incredulous. “My knights, the most feared in the five realms, are terrified of my manservant?” They hung their heads in shame. “Even a squire probably could nick it off the idiot!”
“Is the squire still alive?” said a knight under his breath. Around him, his fellow brethren nodded their agreement, avoiding Arthur’s eye as he snorted.
“Merlin can be scary, Sire,” tried Lancelot. Arthur still looked like he seriously disagreed with the statement but after seeing the effect one pathetic coward had on a score of knights, he was forced to accept that yes, the Knights of Camelot feared Merlin the Buffoon.
Or 5 times Arthur gets blindsided by Merlin's ingenuity to stop the heists involving his neckerchief and 1 time Merlin gives up.
