Summary
Arthur was at his wits' end when he caught Merlin walking out of the tavern, which led him to make a horrible mistake, one that proved to be the last straw for Merlin, who decided there was nothing else to do but publically quit his job and leave Camelot in a huff.
Arthur never realized how much Merlin did for him-- or for Guinevere-- until he was gone; neither he nor his wife realized just how integral Merlin was to Camelot... and to their marriage.
*Story is complete apart from final editing and will be posted in full over the next few days. Currently clocking in at about 20k. Explicit in the fifth chapter.*

Summary
When Morgana and Agravaine attempted to take Camelot by siege, Merlin could only see one path forward: reveal himself, and push back their army. Now, with Agravaine dead and his secrets revealed, his relationship with Arthur seems broken beyond repair, especially since Arthur has sent him away from Camelot to represent the Crown's interest outside of the city.
Accompanied by Gwaine, Percival, and two new knights, Merlin must endeavor to reassure the Kingdom and its allies that magic can be a force for good even as he navigates the pressures that come from being a newly-elevated noble and Arthur's recognized personal sorcerer.
His quest begins with King Olaf and Lady Vivian.

Summary
Merlin knew what a Sigil represented; a concept he had been introduced to shortly after arriving in Camelot. A marriage proposal of the deepest and most romantic kind, a callback to the traditions of old – for those who appreciated such things.
As such, Arthur’s message was clear.
Keep it safe for my future bride.
And, well, he could do that. No matter what it took.

Summary
It was over. Arthur was here. The Lamia was slain. Gwen was alright. The knights would be back to normal. It was over.
Able to relax for the first time in days, he let his knees buckle and his back slide down the wall. He hit the ground, and his vision turned to mist.
Merlin didn't make it out of his encounter with the Lamia unscathed, or so Arthur thinks when he slays the beast and finds Merlin slumped against the wall and bleeding. When he learns the true source of Merlin's injuries he is furious. He does his best to push that anger away though, because being there for Merlin matters far more right now.
or
The Lamia episode but Merthur, and the knights actually injured Merlin.
