Summary
“Get out of my sight, and don’t come back until you can prove to me why I should allow you to remain in my service.”
Merlin stares at Arthur, confused. His tone was ominous, and it certainly sounded like a threat, but Merlin can’t quite work out what part is supposed to have him shaking in his boots. He’s halfway back to Gauis’ chambers when it dawns on him: Arthur actually thinks this stupid, degrading job is something he would be willing to fight for - as though Merlin’s life wouldn’t be complete without the honor of scrubbing the sheets Arthur manages to soil on a disturbingly regular basis.
In which it takes Merlin a bit longer to warm up to Arthur than it does in canon, but he gets there in the end.

Summary
“It was never supposed to end like this. You were both meant for such happier things.”
“I was always meant to be a tragedy.” Arthur disagrees.
“Dearest darling, you are the king of kings, this will not be your end.”
With Arthur's death comes a single chance to go back to the beginning and save everyone he's ever loved. Seeing home in Merlin's eyes and a hope for a better world in Morgana's, Arthur knows what he must do.
Only bringing magic back to Camelot will prevent the future he knows is coming from happening, but in his way is the only mountain he's never been able to climb; his father won't change for anyone, not even for his son.

Summary
He reaches forward, careful but determined. Darkness gives him no guidance, but his King does instead. Arthur’s hands close gently over his. “Here,” he murmurs, guiding him. He leads Merlin’s fingers up, toward his shoulder. “The clasp.”
His fingertips brush leather, then metal, then the warm skin at Arthur’s throat. He feels the steady, living pulse beneath his touch.
His fingers slip once, then again. Merlin exhales a quiet, frustrated laugh. “I’ve done this a thousand times.”
“A million,” Arthur corrects, fond.
“And yet,” Merlin mutters, trying again.
In which Merlin is injured in a battle and loses his sight.
