Summary
Arthur's eyes caught onto a blue swatch of fabric, tied against a tree branch. He nudged Hengreon forward. It was Merlin's neckerchief. Stained with the earth, sweat, and... blood.
"Sire?" Agravaine called. His voice was distorted by the faint ringing in his ears.
"We're close." Arthur straightened, carefully folding the neckerchief, "This is Merlin's."
Agravaine was beside him, now, "This piece of cloth? Sire, we can hardly-"
He held up a hand, silencing his uncle, "It's his. I would know it anywhere."

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

Summary
“Are we waiting for your Arthur to have an audience? I'm sure my men will have captured him by now,” the man continued, crossing his arms with amusement.
It was Merlin's sceptical sneer that broke Arthur's train of thought. He moved closer behind the rock wall to look at his face, and what he saw made him swallow hard. Merlin's gaze was lowered, but a bitter smile played on his lips as if the other man's words were the stupidest thing he had ever heard in his life.
“For the last time...” Merlin finally said, raising his head and staring at him arrogantly. “He's not coming. He doesn't care about me.”
Arthur's heart sank.
The man just smiled and took another step towards Merlin. The belt holding his boots fell to the ground.
“We'll see.”or

Summary
"Let him think I hate him. If that’ll stop him from risking his neck for me over and over again, then it’s a sacrifice I don’t have to think twice about."
—
Arthur finds out Merlin has magic. He also finds out how often Merlin risked his life for him and so, he does the only thing he can think of to protect him: banishment.
Hurt and angry, Merlin leaves and swears to not look back.
But, when two years pass and Morgana shows up at Merlin’s door, urging him to fill Gaius’ position as Court Physician, Merlin agrees. He really doesn’t know why, but Arthur is sure Merlin would do just about anything to get on his nerves.
Unprepared for the shock of seeing Merlin back in the castle, Arthur is forced to speed along his plans to lift the ban on magic. But between stubborn councilors, a mysterious plague, a still angry Merlin, and Morgana being Morgana, Arthur is fairly certain he’ll lose his mind before the first year of his reign even ends.
