Summary
“No.” Merlin wrapped his arms around his chest. “I wouldn’t even think about this!”
The other man gave him a tired look before trying to speak, only to be interrupted by Merlin.
“What would people say about me?” Merlin asked, spreading his arms. “I have a reputation to uphold! I can’t let them think I’m capable of…”

The loneliness becomes so routine, he forgets his mother’s warnings and the funny, little rhymes, which might otherwise have saved his life.

Summary
At first, it wasn’t a problem. At first, it was just a weight on his chest that made it slightly harder to smile.
Then it got just a little bit heavier, making small tasks harder to do.
It wasn’t the first time he felt it, so he paid no heed and went on with his days. He woke up bright and early, got Arthur’s breakfast prepared, did his rounds for Gaius, cleaned the king’s bedroom, scribed his speeches, laundered his clothes, polished his suit, sharpened his sword, saved Camelot from yet another attack—
He did everything according to a perfect routine, from sunup to sundown.
Until one day… he stopped.

Summary
Tell me what hurts you and I will ail it. Tell me what scares you and I will protect you, he tried to say. Tell me what burdens you and I will carry it. Anything to not watch you suffer.
But no words left his mouth, for he too was afraid to bare his soul.

Summary
It’s a daily battle, reigning in his magic.
But there is something wrong with his magic and there is something wrong with Merlin.
As Merlin finishes working the buckles on Arthur’s armor, he feels a creaking in his bones.
The moment Balinor’s pulse finally stilled on the forest floor, Merlin’s magic changed. No longer is his magic a flower waiting to bloom in his cupped palms, it’s an animal backed into a corner waiting to sink its teeth into the ones who put it there. The mutt at his feet has lost its patience.
There’s a flint being struck under his skin, generating sparks, seeking dry brush to ignite and swallow in flame.
Merlin is terrified.
He isn’t a seer, never mastered the art of scrying, but even he knows something is looming over the horizon.
or Merlin’s Dragonlord powers let him shift into a dragon, things go to shit, and then there are more dragons.

Summary
"It is not over yet, Emrys," she said. "You must have hope."
Merlin wiped his eyes on his sleeve and looked at her.
"Do.. do you mean it? There is a possibility that Arthur will be saved?"
The Goddess looked sad then.
"Arthur's destiny cannot be altered. Things have been set in motion already," the second Goddess declared. Merlin's heart sank.
"But," the First Goddess interrupted his thoughts. "Magic can do all kinds of wonderful things, if one only allows it to."

Begins at the end of Season 5 Episode 5: The Disir
Merlin made a huge mistake when Arthur asked him for advice before going to talk to the Disir. He realizes it too late, when they see Mordred in Camelot upon return. He immediately runs back to the Disir to beg for a second chance. Fortunately, they take mercy and give him one. A very unexpected and highly inconvenient one.

Summary
Leon knelt down next to the servant, inspecting the injury: “We need to treat the wound.”
“It looks really deep.”, Gwaine added, a mixture of horror and worry on his face.
“How deep?”, Percival barely dared to ask.
“Don’t you worry, it’s not that deep.”, Merlin announced, hoping to calm down the knights at least for a bit.
“It looks pretty deep! How can you be so sure?”, Arthur asked, kneeling down right next to the servant.-----------------------------------------------------

Summary
Merlin has long survived off the poignant and often slender hope that Arthur feels the connection between them at least a fraction as keenly as he himself does. Hope that the man cares more than a master does for his servant. Hope that his existence matters to Arthur for more than just chores and entertainment. That his callous attitude is truly just a front for genuine affection.
Having his hope validated so blatantly out loud is something Merlin could never have anticipated.
