Summary
As Merlin looked back in bewilderment, he found how, right in Camelot's courtyard, in front of every eyewitness, commoner and nobility—
Arthur Pendragon was on his knees.
“Merlin,” Arthur began breathlessly, tears painting his stance with plea, begging and not caring how he, the king, was now kneeling for a servant in front of his citizens who never saw him kneel for anyone before. “Please, Merlin, I beg you, I plead of you— just give me five minutes then sentence me to hell afterwards for all I care.”
Π∆
Diamond of the day fix-it, with a secret that only Arthur Pendragon knows.

Summary
Old fic repost. A castle, a murder, a number of possible suspects and it falls to Arthur, as prince, to find the culprit. It would be easy, if he weren’t distracted by his budding attraction to his hopeless manservant.

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
A year contains 365 days. Each day can be counted in 24 candle marks, so it's possible to burn 8760 marks in the span of the one year Merlin has been dead. Not a single one of them lessen the mournful air that envelops Camelot, and Arthur thinks it will take four times as many before anyone who has known the blue-eyed man with too large ears and too big of a heart can smile and mean it.

Summary
Arthur finds out about Merlin's magic prior to the events of season 5 and post-season 4. He goes into sullen silence to punish Merlin for lying to him, leaving Merlin in the interim of "does he want me dead or does he just need time?"
It leaves Merlin spiraling and Arthur to deal with the heart of Camelot, his heart, to deal with it.
