Summary
Nothing particularly remarkable happens to lead to Arthur being stabbed, except for how it shouldn’t be possible at all.
The sharp sound of a sword against chainmail rings in Arthur’s ear just as his breath punches out of him and knocks him off kilter. There’s a soft noise of satisfaction from behind that’s unbearably irritating; Arthur needs to wipe whatever smarmy look has probably stolen across that bandit’s face off by showing him what a true swordsman can do.
And then the pain hits.

Summary
Arthur hates Gwaine.
Well, hate might be a strong word. Mildly despises is likely a more fitting phrase for how Arthur feels about his flippant, impulsive Knight at the Roundtable. Gwaine is one of the best Knight’s Arthur has, strong, fast and courageous to a fault. Gwaine would be easily the first to jump into a battle if he thinks any injustice is being done. That, is why Arthur keeps him around. He acts as a trial run to how Arthur’s people are going to react to every decision and decree he makes. Gwaine will argue, defend and be an all-round pain in the arse until Arthur changes his mind. Arthur, however, would never tell him what a value his council is.
Gwaine is a great, trusted Knight, but Arthur doesn’t trust him with Merlin.
OR
Arthur thinks Gwaine is trying to steal his best friend and he is not happy. Merlin gets hurt and they realise they're not so different after all.

Summary
Sir Thomas had taken a step forward and before he knew it, Merlin was face first in the dirt, one arm twisted cruelly behind him and held down by a knee to the centre of his back. Merlin’s head was spinning, and his cheek—where it was shoved into the solid ground—was throbbing painfully. He swallowed thickly and held back the groan of pain that collected at the back of his throat.
“Haven’t you heard, mutt? Servants should be seen and not heard,” Sir Thomas whispered, lowering Merlin’s arm and placing it almost delicately on the ground. Merlin made a move to push himself up, but Thomas’ grip only tightened, holding Merlin’s arm flat on the ground, his knee still jammed into his back. “Now, I think I’m going to teach you a lesson. You’re going to learn to hold that tongue of yours before I cut it out myself, do I make myself clear?”

While Arthur is away on official Prince business, Merlin gets into a pickle with Sirs’ Thomas, Ronan and Cassius. Unable to retaliate with Magic, Merlin is forced to grin and bear it.

Summary
Without a word, without hardly raising a hand, Merlin’s eyes flashed gold, and each bandit found themselves on their backs as if blown by the wind. Their weapons turned on themselves, and all at once, the battle fell silent.
Similarly, Merlin found himself collapsing onto his side, the last of his energy drained from his frail body. His mind and vision going black at once.Or,
Merlin is too tired to hide his magic, and the truth finds its way out. Now, Arthur is left to deal with the repercussions as Merlin fights his own mind.

Summary
Merlin really didn’t understand why Arthur kept assigning him more guards. He was Camelot’s Court Sorcerer and, oh you know, the strongest warlock to ever live. He really didn’t need the protection, but his stupid overly protective husband just refused to see reason. Though maybe all the trouble Merlin got into every time he left the castle wasn’t helping his argument.
Or the 5 times Arthur adds a new guard to Merlin’s protection detail and the 1 time Merlin does something about it!

Summary
A mistake. A punishment. A threat.
Arthur wished he could take it all back. He wished he could fix things. He wished Merlin had just lashed out. Had just screamed and fought like Arthur knew he could. He wished Merlin had told him.
It was too late for what should have happened though.
A dark evil leaves Merlin at his weakest, and it's up to Arthur and the knights to find a way through the storm.-

Summary
It shouldn't be a surprise, really, if the knights think punching each other in the arm is a viable and efficient way of cheering each other up, that they also think insulting each other is a perfectly good way to show affection. Insults are compliments, threats are reassurances, and actual bodily harm is considered good manners or at the very least the mark of genuine companionship. Basically, take everything Merlin's ever been taught about how you actually treat the people you care about and flip it on its head, because stars know that if any one of these men actually behave as though being nice won't incinerate them, the world will actually end.
Alright, maybe he's being a bit harsh.
