Summary
Someone had been beaten for information. He had been able to hear their pain but could not identify the voice which bore it. Now, he saw his knights, strong, hale men, unbreakable in every way, and he realised the truth of it. These bastards had not wasted their time trying to crack the mask of Camelot. Instead, they had turned their attentions to the one they assumed was the weakest link in the chain.
Merlin.
(Based on Aeris' prompt "Asunder")

Summary
Merlin's magic flared up inside him, and the metal sizzled hot. “What are they doing, branding us?”
Morgana wasn’t wearing a collar, but her handcuffs glowed orange a few seconds after Merlin’s cooled, and her jaw clenched against the torment. Still, she kept her eyes on him. Vigilant.
“They’re magic siphoning cuffs,” she said when it was over. Her lip quivered as though she was suffering a kind of aftershock, but then her composure returned. She lifted a brow, shooting him a sinister look. “I see they’ve done a number on you, Emrys."
Merlin’s stomach dropped. Morgana knew.

Summary
“I don’t know what kind of mischief Merlin allows,” Arthur snaps, trying to wrestle his tunic out of Aithusa’s teeth, “but I’ll not have you chewing on me!”
The dragon’s eyes narrow. It’s really a horrible thing, to have a dragon look at him like that.~*~
Merlin overuses his magic while healing Aithusa and Arthur has to come to the rescue.

Summary
Merlin is preoccupied with wiping his eyes, so he doesn’t notice Arthur right away, but Gwen does. She sees how the king’s face freezes at the sight of Merlin’s red-rimmed eyes and damp cheeks, watches as the penny drops and Arthur’s anger abandons him, leaving a distinct look of queasiness in its wake.

Summary
"That was magic," Arthur accuses.
"Oh." Merlin just nods, looking unperturbed.
Arthur fights to keep his expression calm, mind racing and heart pounding. "Sorcery is outlawed in Camelot. On pain of death."
Merlin splutters, finally fixing Arthur with an affronted glare. "It's not like I meant to do it!"
***
Merlin gets hit with a spell meant for Arthur and loses his memory. Revelations ensue. Set sometime after 5x02.

Summary
Generally speaking, Uther did not tolerate his nobles meddling with the servants. It was more because he thought such behaviour beneath his courtiers rather than out of any regard for the safety and happiness of the castle staff. Still, the King did not have eyes everywhere, and his various lords and ladies took the view that what Uther didn't know couldn't hurt them.
That was how he found himself here, pinned into an alcove in one of the hallways by Lord Bancroft. The cold stone of the castle wall dug into his back as the lord's body pressed against his front from shoulder to hip, all hard muscle and harder... other things.
Merlin is propositioned, Arthur intervenes.

Summary
'What happened to your back?'
Arthur's voice sounded tense, stiff and uncertain. The brush of warm fingers against the three, pale lines across his shoulder-blade made Merlin jolt in alarm. He whirled around, the tunic still clutched in his hands as he blinked stupidly, his words caught somewhere in his throat.
Not that it mattered. Arthur was too busy staring at the starburst scar the size of a grown man's hand that lay right in the centre of his front, over his heart. A frown of confusion melted beneath a mask of horror, and Merlin swallowed hard as all the colour fled Arthur's face.
'What happened to your chest?!'

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.

They're not the usual visions, though, and they're just getting worse. And there's nothing he can do about them but cling to Dean and ride them out.

Or,

Summary
Sisyphus began to hold out his wrists, then pulled his hands back. He glanced around again. Wetly, he looked up to him and asked, "Forgive me, my Lord Death, but I am afraid my mortal blood makes me cowardly in your presence. If you could be so infinitely kind-- would you so mind showing me how they work?"
Hesitance kept Thanatos completely still for a moment, then with a bit of caution, he nodded, "I suppose that would be alright. But only briefly. Then we must go."

Summary
“They aren’t dying,” Hermes repeats, as solemn as Hypnos has ever heard him. “And it’s not from my brother War, my Lord. Nor your sisters Strife nor the Keres.”
“Peaceful deaths.”
“Yes.”
“Thanatos.”
“Yes.”A retelling of the myth in which Sisyphus tricks Death himself. This time, it is the Twin of Death, it is Sleep, that tracks his brother down.
