Summary
Merlin comes back as a zombie. Arthur won't stop looking at him wrong. Merlin comes back, and Arthur is a stranger.
It hadn't been ten years for Merlin: he still remembered that Arthur was supposed to tease him, was supposed to rib him, was supposed to punch Merlin's shoulder and rub his knuckles in Merlin hair as he shoved Merlin into a headlock. He still remembered that Arthur was supposed to goad him in to danger, out of his comfort zone, away from the little cottage Merlin called home. He still remembered Arthur, laughing, and Arthur, shoving hot-dogs down his throat for some idiotic challenge, and Arthur, five, eight, eleven, thirteen, fifteen, Arthur, with his hair dirtied and tousled and uncharacteristically afraid.
Fifteen-year-old Arthur, of all things, was the one that stayed. Merlin desperately wished eight-year-old Arthur had stayed instead, pushing him across the breaking ice with gleeful laughter, the adrenaline running through Arthur's veins slipping into Merlin's where their hands connected.

Summary
The face in the picture just barely matched the face which was quickly coming into focus. The boy between Gwaine and Lance was emaciated, and his face was mangled. There were chunks missing from his skin, and everything was joined by messy stitches, unevenly done. But the eyes were narrow, and he had two large ears. His hair was shaped in a very thin imitation of a bowl-cut, and he wore a beat-up brown jacket and a red scarf atop a blue shirt. His boots were worn, with thin soles.
Merlin.

Summary
They are in Arthur’s rooms, safely tucked away from the rest of the castle, when Merlin casually leans forward in the low burn of the fire and lights a candle with a flick of his hand – an action that would have damned him days ago and that still sends a strike of fear and apprehension through Arthur’s stomach. There is the fear and the magic, and the fear of the magic, and then there is the way Merlin’s jaw looks in the firelight.
It has been days since Arthur discovered Merlin’s magic – days since he first felt the brush against his skin. He is unsure, suddenly, which part of Merlin is which – what is the magic and what is the man (for Merlin has surely become a man). Just what, Arthur wonders, will he risk to find out?

Summary
There was very little gentleness in most of Arthur's physical interactions. He was a warrior, but even outside of that, his role as a leader meant that by necessity he had to maintain a certain distance and decorum that contained a different kind of violence. Sometimes he wondered if the safety of that distance was worth the ache of isolation.
Or: 5 times Arthur noticed Merlin using his gentle hands to tend to his knights and one time Merlin took care of Arthur himself.
