Summary
For several months now, he had occasionally been overwhelmed by the feeling the Old Religion had made a terrible mistake in making him Emrys and must be regretting it. Now that he had killed the person Arthur loved the most, he had no doubt that Emrys should have been someone other than him. The only good thing about him was his magic, but, unfortunately for everyone, it seemed he never made the right choices when it came to using it: the more he tried to fix a situation, the worse it became…
He needed to put an end to all of this and manage to put his magic at Arthur's service while ensuring he was no longer the intermediary between the two. He had found a spell to do exactly that. It was probably a completely insane plan and certainly very dangerous, but… Merlin couldn’t help but wonder if this wasn’t ultimately what the prophecy wanted. After all, it had just been said that he would protect Arthur with his magic and allow him to fulfill his destiny, right? As long as his magic did the job, he didn’t really need to be there, did he?Bookmarked by Mylk_nylon

Summary
“What is it?” he asked, voice suddenly smaller. “Do I look bad?”
Arthur said nothing.
His mouth was dry, his thoughts incoherent. Before him stood Merlin, and Arthur—King of Camelot, commander of armies, slayer of beasts, and stubborn idiot—could only stare.
‘Bad?’ his mind screamed. ‘He is ethereal. No—ethereal is not a strong enough word.’
It is Merlin’s first ball since being named the Court Sorcerer, and Arthur insists that he must be dressed appropriately for his new station, an important member of the court. However, Arthur is entirely unprepared for the outcome of his demand.

Summary
Merlin saved Camelot with his magic—but the display was terrifying enough to turn even his closest friends away. Now, the people who once cared for him look at him with nothing but fear. He’s been replaced in Arthur’s and the queen’s chambers, scorned in the streets, and pushed out from every last one of his roles.
He drifts through the castle like a ghost, watching Arthur slowly restore magic to the kingdom—without him.
He tells himself it’s enough. That it has to be enough.
Then a visiting kingdom arrives—openly magical, warm, and welcoming. For the first time in what feels like an eternity, Merlin is seen, valued, liked.
He stayed for the promise of Albion. But maybe Albion has come—and Merlin simply isn’t part of it.
