Summary
"Breath, Percival," Lancelot says. "What can you live with doing?"
Percival breathes out. He thought it would be painful, scraping and aching on the way out like it did on the way in. It doesn't. It's smooth, fearful but painless.
"It's the third key on the ring," he says, and deposits the whole mess of keys in Gwaine's hand. "Tell Arthur he's my King. Tell Arthur I don't want to carry any more torches to any more pyres."

Summary
“A rock?” Arthur stared skeptically at the map laid out in front of him.
“Yes, sire… well, a stone.” The stableboy nodded nervously, glancing at the King before adding, “That is what they was saying. A stone that can’t be tricked nor fooled, one that can detect even the smallest bit of magic in a person.”

Or I really liked the idea of a stone that identifies magic users and how strong their magic is from 'A Warlock's Wish' by vividpast and couldn't stop thinking about it.

Summary
Arthur has always had distant dreams of leaving Camelot. They were never more than a wistful fantasy, at least once he grew up.
Finding out about Merlin’s magic changes everything though, and not only because Arthur would do more to keep Merlin safe than he cares to admit. What follows are secrets upon secrets, allowing the dreams to slip back in as all his father’s lies unravel around him. Slowly but surely, Camelot feels less like a home and more like a gilded cage, and Arthur isn’t so certain anymore whether he’s the right person to carry this legacy. If he even wants to.
One final secret, one opportunity, and suddenly the dreams aren’t mere dreams anymore. Merlin wouldn’t be Merlin if he didn’t follow wherever Arthur goes, and as they try to outrun Uther’s manhunt for them, they have to learn to live a life that’s about more than duty, other’s expectations, and a destiny that has never once cared for them.
Or: Arthur long since expected that one day, he might have to flee Camelot with Merlin. He just never thought that he would be the reason.

Summary
Being with Merlin felt right.
It felt like it was meant to be. Like the spot next to him in his bed had been always waiting for him, like the excess of food he brought had always been meant to be shared, like everything — for the first time in forever — just fitted.
God, he loved him.
[•••]
And Arthur finally understood that what intrigued him so much about Merlin’s eyes. What he’d been unconsciously looking for was the gold in them.
___
Basically all of this unfolds as they follow three main plot lines:“I want to repeal the magic ban”
“I wanna marry you”
“How do you feel about kids?”Series

But everything had been so gold, so full of life, so beautiful.
