Summary
Vaguely based on this:
It's not Arthur's fault, he thinks. How could he have known they were waltzing into the territory of gods? Sure, if he had listened to Merlin... But since when did Arthur ever listen to Merlin? He regretted that now.
"Only gods may enter"
Merlin sighs and draws attention to himself. "Well, I guess this is it."
Merlin shrugs, then turns to the impeccable door. As if to test it, he touches the wood. His hand goes through. "Shit", Merlin mutters, but doesn't look surprised. A second later, he's gone.
Arthur doesn't realize that he tried to stop him until his own hand collides with the hard wood of the door that swallowed his servant. Arthur's eyes are stuck to the sign. Slowly, very slowly, his mind connects the dots.

Summary
Based on a tumblr post:
"achillesuwuFollow
Me thinking that it would be really funny (why nearly all of my most begin like that —) if Freya comes to Camelot as a Druid/magical representative and Arthur, the Knights and Gwen know 3 things about her
1. She is married
2. She is really powerful and can kick your ass
3. If she isn't in an ass-kicking mood her very very very powerful immortal husband will handle the ass kicking
They absolutely do not know about Freylin and they all are sweating buckets when they see Merlin successfully flirting with her at the welcoming feast.
( Meanwhile Merlin and Freya enjoying some role-play : so~ my name is merlin 🥰 Oh, nice to meet you, I'm Freya.🥰)
Basically the Knights, Gwen, Arthur (and even maybe Gaius for extra fun) trying VERY hard to stop Merlin and failling miserably "

Summary
Aithusa is captured by King Sarrum. In order to make sure the dragon is secure and the realm therefore safe, Arthur gathers a delegation to visit the Kingdom Amata. Merlin, however, breaks as he sees the state his daughter is in. And suddenly, secrets are no longer relevant.
Excerpt:
His teary eyes scanned all over her body, finding it worse than what Sarrum had described. Her claws were twitching and bleeding on the dirty ground. There was no water in sight and she looked thirsty while her eyes looked milky and unseeing. Yet, she seemed to recognise him somehow. For a moment, her gaze cleared and she nuzzled her forehead against Merlin’s. Cuts among her side, red coloring her white scaled bloody.“Merlin, what the hell are you doing! Come back here! NOW! It will eat you!”
But Merlin’s glare found only Sarrum’s who seemed more confused than anything. And that look, that innocence feigning, pleased expression, blinded Merlin with pure, unaltered rage. “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER!”

Summary
“Right,” said Merlin quietly. “Sire.” The word tasted bitter on his tongue. “I never meant to lie to you. I was just scared- you have to understand that, right?”
Arthur shoved him again, and Merlin crumpled to the ground, his bindings straining tight against his wrists. “Just… for once in your life, stop talking. I don’t want to hear it.”
Merlin shrank back from his place on the ground. His mind was running wild with the worst possible scenarios- Arthur banishing him, Arthur locking him away, Arthur sending him to the pyre-
Horrified, Merlin’s eyes stung. Arthur hoisted him to his feet. “Get up. We have to cross the river, and then I’ll decide what to do with you.”
