Summary
Arthur feels like he’s standing on a precipice without knowing how he got here. He swallows. “He—”
“—damned himself. So you’ve said.”
They stare at each other, and the distance between them seems to be growing in leaps and bounds. Arthur can’t remember the last time he felt so estranged from Merlin, not during the whole disaster with Caerleon, or when Merlin disappeared. Not even when—
“Then I’ve damned myself as well.”
Without intending to, Arthur pushes Merlin just one step too far. Now he's left without his manservant but a hundred questions, a world of hurt, and guilt that clings to him like a shadow. Well, and a notebook filled with drawings because apparently, Merlin can draw on top of being a sorcerer. No matter how often Arthur tells himself that he just wants to forget, he can't help but come back to the collection of sketches and notes, a chronicle of all that Merlin has done.
Maybe their story isn't quite over yet.

Summary
When Arthur goes back for his manservant in the tunnels, he discovers the secrets Merlin has been hiding and makes an unforgivable mistake. With blood on his hands, and the whole kingdom unable to meet his eye, Arthur is pushed from Camelot. Forced to be alone with his thoughts and try to deal with the consequences of his actions.
In one final attempt to make things right, he bargains with the sidhe. Trading his prophesied return for Merlin to live once more. The sidhe accept Arthur's offer, but there's one issue they don't mention to the disgraced king. Merlin never went to Avalon. In fact, he never left Camelot at all.
Merlin may be back - albeit minus a handful of years worth of memories - but the people of Camelot still do not trust their king, and the enemies of Camelot draw closer by the day. Will Arthur be able to face Merlin and come clean? Will Merlin ever be able to work by Arthur's side again? Or will Camelot's enemies overthrow the weak king, and destroy the last chances of Albion ever being united?

Summary
Merlin dashed over to his bed and pulled out his bag. He used his magic to summon the things he was going to pack and hurriedly shoved them inside. He could hear them now—murmuring voices and even some chanting.
With trembling hands, he fastened the buckle of his bag and slung it over his shoulder along with his medicine bag. Then, as he grabbed his old Sidhe staff, he took one last look around the room he’d come to call home before slipping out the door with a heavy heart.
Merlin’s plan was to sneak through the darkness into the nearest copse before starting to run. But he was too late. As he hurried towards the shadowy trees, he suddenly came face-to-face with one of his pursuers. The man brandished his torch in front of him, lunging towards Merlin as he roared out for the rest of the mob to hear, "There he is!"
Merlin turned on his heels and started to run. He could hear the sound of people pursuing him, twigs and leaves crunching loudly beneath their feet as they followed him into the woodland.
‘Get him!’ called a voice.
‘Don’t let the witch get away!’ yelled another.
‘Witch, witch, witch!’ they chanted.

Summary
Merlin barely thought as he threw out his magic in every direction, seeking to protect every red cape in the mass of people. Part of him was bitter at the thought. The thought that he was out here defending an army clad in capes that were stained with the blood of his kin. But he pushed through it.
He was friends with most of the knights, anyway. And he never wanted them to find out like this, but he could only hope they would accept him. Though a dim part of him wondered if acceptance was enough. After all, Arthur had accepted him. But their relationship was nothing close to perfect. And honestly, Merlin didn’t know he wanted it to be.

Summary
“That’s enough, Merlin. I was just letting you know. It’s dangerous to be so… intimate with people like Will.” Merlin nearly laughed at the irony. Arthur’s voice was hard and by this point, most people would back down and stay quiet. But Merlin was not most people.
He gave a bitter chuckle. “It’s dangerous to be intimate? Are you out of your mind? He’s my friend. Did you think he was going to kill me in my sleep? He saved your life!”
Arthur shot Merlin a look. “He’s still a sorcerer. You cannot trust sorcerers, Merlin. If you didn’t know that back in Ealdor, at least get it through your thick skull here.”
“Well, if that’s how you feel, then you’re not going to be happy about the druid girl I fell in love with in Camelot.” In hindsight, it was a bad idea to try and rile Arthur up but a part of him was actually curious to know what Arthur would think.
