    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

    ”He’s recently watched his first love die, sire.”

    Arthur froze, and Morgana felt an uncharacteristic laugh bubble in her throat. She swallowed it down.

    Merlin left. Because his first love died.

    That does seem like the kind of thing to break him, doesn’t it?

    OR

    Merlin's bitterness towards Arthur for Freya's death is only increasing day by day, when a letter arrives from a dragonlord, claiming to be his father. Desperate for a break from destiny, Merlin leaves Camelot. He returns over a year later, but things are not the same. He has people-- and dragons-- to look after. And there comes a problem when Morgana starts behaving strangely, her glares towards Arthur a little too angry to be normal...

    Summary

    “Please, tell me that this is a nightmare. Tell me this isn’t true.” 
    But Merlin couldn’t do that. And even if he did, it was too late. Nobody would believe his lies anymore.
    “Merlin. Answer me.”
    But he stayed silent. 
    “Merlin. Merlin, tell me you’re not a bloody sorcerer.”

    Or, after Agravaine tricked Arthur to lead his troops into Morgana’s trap, Merlin is forced to reveal his magic in order to protect the ones he loves. But what if it means his biggest fear was about to come true ?
