Summary
Someone had been beaten for information. He had been able to hear their pain but could not identify the voice which bore it. Now, he saw his knights, strong, hale men, unbreakable in every way, and he realised the truth of it. These bastards had not wasted their time trying to crack the mask of Camelot. Instead, they had turned their attentions to the one they assumed was the weakest link in the chain.
Merlin.
(Based on Aeris' prompt "Asunder")

Summary
"Only the person Merlin loves most can wake him." The girl took on the air of someone who held the upper hand over their adversaries. "Only a kiss from the person he desires most can break the curse."
"Why?" Mordred questioned, "Why lay such a curse on him and offer the chance of a cure?"
But Arthur knew the answer even as she said it. "Merlin desires no one. It isn't within his capability to."
Takes place a year after 5 x 6, The Dark Tower

Summary
So the heart becomes bound with the roots, the lungs filled with the vines and the flowers. Thorns will maim and cut where they grasp hold. The solitary heart bears not the strength to banish the maladie. Coughing and vomiting may dislodge the barriers but only for so long as it takes for more to grow. Witches' briar consumes all in time. Thirty days from the fall of the first petal are granted unto the sufferer. Hanahaki is the curse of those with magic in their veins. No man devoid of magic’s song shall suffer this bite.
-
Merlin knows he was condemned from the moment he found the first petal on his pillow, because there is no way that Arthur Pendragon, the King of Camelot, can ever return his love.

Five years have passed since Arthur exiled Merlin. Four since the druids were welcomed back into Camelot. Three since Camelot repealed the ban on magic, and two since Arthur appointed Gaius the Court Sorcerer. He never heard from Merlin once, and it’s only now that he finds out why.

Summary
In spite of himself, Arthur felt his breathing accelerate and his palms begin to sweat. He had had this nightmare before. He had had this nightmare many times, since he first saw Merlin using magic.
It wasn't real, it couldn't be. It wouldn't happen like this. The sun was shining.
