Summary
“That will be all, thank you, Merlin.”
Arthur’s dismissal is cold, final. His bed still lies unmade, his bath water not poured, his dinner awaiting collection in the kitchen.
Merlin stops in his attempt at undressing him, holds his cape uselessly in his hands. “Arthur—“
“Don’t!” Arthur snaps, hard, dangerous, and Merlin clenches his jaw, swallows hard around the lump in his throat, the heat behind his eyes. “I hardly think you have the right to address me as anything but ‘sire’ at the moment. Now, leave me.”
Or
In the fallout from Lancelot's sacrifice, Arthur's anger shows a new face. If only he and Merlin could both agree on its target. (Aka, magic reveal with a twist.)

Summary
So Merlin does the only thing he can – he stays. Stays, and loves his golden prince from afar with a ferocity that scares him more than the flames ever could. Protects his soulmate with his magic, his body, his life – giving, giving, giving to the man who could never give Merlin his heart in return – to the man that was never Merlin’s to keep.
He tells himself that being his servant is enough. That loving Arthur from afar is enough. Will be enough.
After all, Merlin is nothing but a fantastic liar.

Summary
“Please, no,” Merlin begged. His ankle burned like a torch set against his bones, a hot poker in his marrow, like the pyre licking from his feet up to his heart. Instead, he dragged his lower body across the ground, scrabbling with his bare hands, crawling. “Please, Arthur, I didn’t do it to hurt you. I couldn’t tell you—I’m scared. Please, don’t! I never meant, oh goddess, I never meant to—”

Summary
“ Arthur...this morning. What happened…well, you do know the servants will be talking about it?”
Looking as unfazed as he ever was, the corner of Arthur’s lips quirked up. “I’ve considered the idea yes.”
(In which Merlin asks Arthur to stop rumors from spreading, and Arthur decides to "do something about it".)
