Summary
After Arthur disobeyed his father and retrieved the Mortaeus flower for Merlin's cure, Arthur's frantic pleading to save Merlin led to a misunderstanding that actually convinced Uther to take the flower to Gaius.
Now all Arthur has to do is explain to Merlin why Uther thinks they are lovers.
And while Uther is supportive of the relationship, he requires it kept secret. But in his paranoia, Uther misinterprets every innocent interaction between the two as something far more intimate, to the embarrassment of everyone involved.
And then the knights begin showing up...

A week of reconnecting with Arthur after years of keeping him at arm’s length. She found that he was not the mirror of Uther she had once thought him to be.

Summary
When Merlin's magic is exposed shortly before season 2 starts, the path of destiny starts changing forever. Now on the run with Arthur, Morgana, and Gwen. Merlin hopes to convince Arthur that magic is totally good instead of him and Morgana just being an exception. Morgana, meanwhile, hopes to convince him to usurp his father. As allies are gathered and Arthur realizes the injustice in his kingdom, it looks more and more like he will have to act in a drastic way. A way he dreads.
Meanwhile, Arthur and Merlin are growing closer and closer and might just have feelings for each other. Something they probably should be better about realizing, considering the example of Gwen and Morgana right next to them.
In a land of myth and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom now rests on the shoulders of four, their names: Merlin, Arthur, Guinevere, and Morgana

Safe. He is safe. The phantom pain recedes, replaced by the solidity of her arms, the softness of her gown. The cruel, laughing faces of his friends are gone and Morgana is here. She came for him. She saved him. He is not alone anymore.
OR
Morgana takes Merlin instead of Gwen to the Dark Tower.

Summary
The greatest warlock of all time may have lived in the Middle Ages, but he was not born into them. Rather, he was born in 1995. It was theorized that the reason for this was so he could benefit from a full modern education before stepping back in time to complete his destiny.

Summary
Merlin has waited beside the lake for over 1,500 years, and when he finally gets a visitor, it's not Arthur Pendragon--but an eccentric English man who arrives in a blue telephone box, calls himself the Doctor, and claims that not only is time travel real, but it's absolutely imperative that Merlin go back in time with him--back to the age of Camelot where Prince Arthur is very much alive.

Summary
Two young men. Two sides of the same coin.
Two destinies intertwined, inseparable from each other, yet they couldn't be more different.
Merlin, the personal servant and, coincidentally, arguably the most powerful magician of his time and the one to come.
And Arthur, the future king of Camalot and perhaps the only person who has unconsciously made it his life's mission to make Merlin's life a living hell and the worst part is, he does it with a smile.
And yet, Arthur is blind to Merlin's magic, for Merlin uses it quite frequently in the young prince's presence.
Their paths crossed not too long ago, and since then they've been more or less on the same track. Merlin ensures every day that Arthur's royal backside doesn't meet its demise, while Arthur remains oblivious, believing himself untouchable.
So be it... for now.
