Summary
“I have come to bring you a message, Uther Pendragon. That child is an abomination, a product of the corrupted use of magic. The Disir have spoken. They have prophesied that a child will come who will be the opposite, who will be pure magic made flesh and who will free the world from the tyranny of the Pendragon and the stain they have left on this land. Their name will be Emrys, and they will be destined to bring an end to your dynasty. Emrys is your son's destiny, and also his doom."
Or:
AU where everything is more or less the same except Merlin’s destiny is to kill Arthur.
Or:
Merlin was born to kill Arthur. Instead, he falls in love with him.

"Will you be my destiny, Merlin Emrys?" he asked.
"Yes," Merlin replied breathlessly. "Yes, Arthur Pendragon, I will. Only if you want to be mine."
Arthur nodded automatically and Merlin smiled from ear to ear.
This was a destiny he had no intention of ever escaping from.
So, just in case, so that no one could ever snatch it away from him, he barreled into Arthur, and Arthur greeted him with a laugh and open arms.
With the full moon as their only witness, they sealed their new destiny with a passionate kiss.

Summary
A careless comment sends Arthur in a spiral that makes him rethink everything that was him and Merlin. All while a new threat complicates things.
Or, Merlin has always been Arthur's Favourite apparently. It would've been nice if someone's bothered to tell Arthur.

“What? Of course, I trust you. Don’t be stupid.”
“Then why didn’t you—”
“Because we both know you were going to do something very stupid in an attempt to protect me first, like go to Morgause yourself.”
“I wouldn’t—”
Arthur turned his head to look at him with an arched brow, making Merlin stop and look down. He picked at a loose thread in the blanket between them.
“That’s what I thought,” Arthur didn’t mean to sound smug about it, but there was something about his knowing Merlin better than Merlin knew himself that made him feel better about everything that happened.

Summary
“I think he’s awake,” Arthur calls out, and the noise bludgeons Merlin’s head like a hammer, and he presses his eyes closed as if to force away his ability to hear as much as his ability to see. It doesn’t work well for him, and he chokes on a breath. His throat is on fire as he starts coughing.
Gods, he’s ill. He thinks he’s very ill.

“I’m going to sleep, but just for a few hours,” Merlin says, and burrows himself, grabbing one of Arthur’s pillows. It’s very comfortable indeed. “And then you can—join me. Maybe. Not for—you know. It’s just—”
“And you can make the bed after,” Arthur says, as if he didn’t hear a word Merlin said, although his cheeks are a bit red. “That’s your job, after all. And I’m not letting you out of my sight until I’m sure you are able to do so.”
“Fine,” Merlin says, and he really does mean to go to sleep. But then Arthur sits by his bedside, and he grabs Merlin’s hand again. Merlin closes his eyes and focuses on that source of warmth, and promises that he’ll never leave.
Arthur sits by him as he drifts off, steady, and warm, and just holds his hand.
