Summary
In the hopes of securing a political marriage for Morgana, Uther invites a number of foreign dignitaries to Camelot, including the charming Prince Urion of Anglia. However, the Anglian prince is not all he appears, and with Merlin's magic preoccupied healing a grievous wound, Camelot is left virtually unprotected from the prince's schemes.

Summary
"One more word out of you, and I swear to God I will send you into exile."
He knows it’s not the pyre, knows there’s much worse, but banishment would mean staying away from Arthur forever – and, as pathetic as that might sound, he thinks he would rather die than let that happen. It is clear that the feeling is not reciprocated, clear that in Arthur’s eyes, he will never come first. There’ll always be people coming before him, and he’s made peace with that long ago – but if even Agravaine can come before him, then anyone could, no? Anyone could replace him. Call Merlin a traitor and have Arthur get rid of him. Anyone could.Merlin no longer feels safe in Camelot.
or:
Arthur threatens Merlin of banishment.
To Arthur's eyes, it's all forgotten.
To Merlin's, however...
Well, let's just say that his faith in their mutual destiny, once unwavering, finds itself faltering at a dangerously quick rate.- Language:

Summary
When Merlin falls into bed with Arthur, he doesn't expect for to wake up alone. He doesn't expect Arthur to give him the cold shoulder either, but there is something else he expects even less which forces him out of the kingdom for over a year. He returns to find a traitor in the court, an army on the way, and a love he'd thought all but lost waiting for him with open arms.

Summary
"And what difference does it make, a sword and magic? You've slaughtered people who were like me, you and your father before you!" Merlin bellowed. "What do you possibly think I could have said when you went to condemn all people who possessed magic and turned away those who were most loyal to you? Turned them away for Agravaine?"
"You shall never speak to me of loyalty, you liar," Arthur spat. "You, who betrayed my trust for nearly a decade--"
"WHAT COULD I HAVE SAID," Merlin shouted. "I WANTED TO STAY BY YOUR SIDE AND PROTECT YOU WITHOUT HAVING TO BE MURDERED FOR IT."
"PROTECT ME? IS THIS WHAT YOU CALL PROTECTION? Morgana's taken over Camelot and we've barely escaped with our lives. For all I know, you've been helping her and I should have you executed for treason."
"Kill me, then," Merlin hissed. "Kill me. I dare you."
