Summary
Arthur was used to being trotted out by Uther as Camelot’s shiny, young ambassador. Though he didn’t care much for Cenred, he certainly wasn’t afraid of him. No, it wasn’t Essetir that bred knots in his stomach.
For reasons that Arthur did not yet understand, it was the humble village of Ealdor that loomed specterlike over the journey ahead.
When a diplomatic visit to Cenred's kingdom takes Arthur and Merlin through Ealdor, Arthur must confront a secret he has kept from himself since Merlin arrived in Camelot.

Summary
After Merlin loses a patient, he finds that he can't stop himself from blaming Arthur for not doing enough to protect the druids. Unfortunately, the situation only worstens as Arthur's inaction and an innocent death starts off a chain of events that threatens not only Camelot, but all of Albion. Canon up until "With All My Heart;" story begins approximately a week after they return to Camelot at the end of the episode.
* * *
“Guinevere, I’m sorry, but this is important. If someone’s killing people in Camelot, I have to know who’s to blame—”
“Then look in the bloody mirror!” For a moment, Merlin didn’t realize that he’d spoken aloud; he barely recognized his own voice, vicious in a way that Merlin had never allowed himself to sound in Arthur’s presence.

Summary
People [are] hiding everywhere; stand still as a stone...
Merlin has imagined telling Arthur his secret. He's thought about it countless times, hundreds upon hundreds. Thought about his fate, his destiny to serve Arthur as the Once and Future King.
But he's never imagined this. Never thought this would happen, never thought he would take such a step.
And now he is certain that his end has come.
(Or, Merlin plans or rather decides spur of the moment to reveal his magic and - if necessary - die trying. Because how can he be completely, utterly certain that he is immortal, Kilgharrah? And how can he truly serve Arthur if he forever conceals an integral part of himself?)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Gaius,” Merlin started to ask, a bit hesitantly, when he finally reached the tower, late that evening. “What all do you know about faeries?”
Gaius dropped a half-finished potion, turned several fascinating shades of red and pink before moving on to near-purple, and yelled at Merlin for being irreparably foolish for quite a long while before Merlin was able to get a word in edgewise and was allowed to tell him anything more about the afternoon.

Summary
Merlin’s magic is as much a tool of destiny as it is part of Merlin himself. It was a source of pride for the newly appointed Court Sorcerer. Where others had succumbed to its alluring pull, Emrys had tamed it. But still, it had a mind of its own occasionally. Especially when Merlin’s mind had been… occupied elsewhere.
Lancelot stopped his inspection of what looked to be a small, weathered notebook and looked up at him, frowning. “It certainly didn’t look like nothing.”
Merlin shrugged, “So it caught me off-guard, it’s fine now. See?”
He flicked his wrist, intending on lighting a small flame in the palm of his hand. Instead, Merlin's magic flared uncontrollably, a bolt of electricity shooting out between them, It bounced off the walls, lighting up the small room before smashing into a clay pot behind them,
and shattering it.
Or: As it turns out, ancient and all-powerful magic makes for a great wingman. Whether you like it or not.

5 times Merlin woke Arthur up and one time he didn’t by kupcake_goddess

Summary
Arthur could feel how heavily Merlin was breathing beneath him, with each rise and fall of his chest, his neckerchief became just the tiniest bit undone, exposing the long expanse of his neck underneath. The sight of Merlin’s hair left Arthur even more enthralled. His dark curls were sticking out in hundreds of different directions, some strands stuck to his face with sweat. Arthur had half a mind to run his hand through it or at least try and make it look more presentable. Hell, if Arthur didn’t know any better, Merlin kind of looked like he had just been well and properly-

Summary
Fit Bloke yanks the books from his hands harshly, unbalancing Merlin, making him have to stop himself from face planting by bracing a hand on the floor. Giving him a disgusted look, Fit Bloke sneers, “Get up, you look ridiculous,” before briskly walking away in the opposite direction, his leg connecting with Merlin’s shoulder and knocking him over again.
“Prat,” Merlin says, collecting himself and getting up. Fit Bloke may be a prat, and an arse, but the view of his bum when he strutted away wasn’t bad at all. In fact, it was a very peachy bum, probably from footie....

Summary
He wanted to kill Arthur.
He wanted to erase this feeling that bled through his body with each new memory, he wanted the shudder that accompanied his lungs to disappear, and he wanted the normality of this feeling to not be there.
Though without this feeling, no one would recognise him. He would be an entirely different person.
And gods, that thought hurt.
So, just as he did with his magic, Merlin hid his feelings from Arthur.
