Summary
Aithusa is captured by King Sarrum. In order to make sure the dragon is secure and the realm therefore safe, Arthur gathers a delegation to visit the Kingdom Amata. Merlin, however, breaks as he sees the state his daughter is in. And suddenly, secrets are no longer relevant.
Excerpt:
His teary eyes scanned all over her body, finding it worse than what Sarrum had described. Her claws were twitching and bleeding on the dirty ground. There was no water in sight and she looked thirsty while her eyes looked milky and unseeing. Yet, she seemed to recognise him somehow. For a moment, her gaze cleared and she nuzzled her forehead against Merlin’s. Cuts among her side, red coloring her white scaled bloody.“Merlin, what the hell are you doing! Come back here! NOW! It will eat you!”
But Merlin’s glare found only Sarrum’s who seemed more confused than anything. And that look, that innocence feigning, pleased expression, blinded Merlin with pure, unaltered rage. “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER!”

"So," Arthur says, "are you powerful, then?"
"Um," Merlin says. "I can hold my own."
Arthur snorts. The day Merlin can hold his own, he'll eat his sword.

Summary
Arthur knows about Merlin's magic. He shouldn't have anything left to be shocked about. But- Merlin is supposed to be fluffy, and quirky, and adorable, and harmless, and launder clothes and polish armor with his magic. Merlin is most definitely not supposed to call lightning from the sky, or blast bandits to oblivion, or-or-or-actually be a capable sorcerer by any means.
Arthur is not Ready for this.
*
Arthur simply gapes, reveling at the feel of cool air over his chafed wrists. A dream. Just a dream. Just a very, very strange dream……
“What!” Merlin throws his hands up in the air, face an utter study in bafflement. “What did I do wrong now?”Bookmarked by Emrys_Pendragon_ (kittykatwriter)

Summary
He had followed him in silence to the edge of a tiny clearing in the woods. In the middle of it was a rock high enough to almost sit on, but Arthur had ignored it and stopped a little further on, his arms folded.
He had his back to him, which Merlin was momentarily grateful for because it had given him a way to catch his breath and hide any emotion from his face before the other began to speak.
It didn't take long. Only a few seconds of silence passed before Arthur's voice reached him in a painful whisper.
"Is this how it will be from now on? Will we ignore each other while pretending to enjoy someone else's company?"
Merlin closed his eyes, feeling the usual boulder weigh on his lungs. He wondered if he would get used to that feeling sooner or later. Probably not.
"Is this what you were doing? Pretending to enjoy Gwen's company?"
Arthur's shoulders stiffened, but he didn't respond.
"And let me guess," he continued, now blabbering on. "You think that's what I was doing too, right? With Lancelot?"
There was a moment of silence, and then Arthur answered, in a flat voice.
"Was it?"
"No".Bookmarked by Emrys_Pendragon_ (kittykatwriter)

Testing Food for Poison Is a Love Language in Camelot by RockyLiterature

Summary
Arthur has tried everything. He’s given Merlin flowers, he's taken the man out on nice walks through pretty nature—because Merlin is in love with plants or something—that he’d tried extra hard to make sure wouldn’t be interrupted by bandits, assassins and such, and he’s even tried to set a do some of Merlin’s chores for him as a show of his helpfulness, though that one hadn’t quite gone to plan. But the man still wasn’t getting it. Arthur needed a new plan, he really did, but he felt as if he was running out of ideas.
Arthur makes Merlin test his food for poisoning. Or; alternatively, Arthur doesn't know how to ask Merlin to sit and eat with him when he's having dinner, so he comes up with a brilliantly idiotic plan.
