    Summary

    Uther finds out about Merlin's magic. Though he is intent on trying to kill Merlin, it never seems to stick, so they agree on a sort of truce in the meanwhile.

    Arthur would be completely oblivious to all this going on, except that he accidentally stumbled upon the very first meeting between his father and Merlin, and now he has to deal with the utter chaos they think he doesn't know about.

    Summary

    “You’re the Prince?” Merlin says, eyeing him. He hesitates, then adds, defiant, “The Mad Prince of Camelot.”
    Arthur doesn’t move. There’s quiet for a long time, then he says it. “I am.”
    “You don’t seem mad,” he says.
    The smile wells up from somewhere deep, and very sad. “Well, Merlin,” he says, “give me time.”

    Merlin is chained, starved, and defiant; Arthur is haunted, furious, and unable to decide whether he wants answers or revenge.

    Between threats and silences, the past claws its way back.

    Summary

    'Be out of the city of Camelot by sunrise, or so help me, you will burn.'

    ------

    When Merlin confesses the truth of his magic to Arthur, he finds himself exiled from Camelot. He intends never to return to Arthur's side, but destiny is not so easily defeated. Can he and Arthur heal the rift that has yawned between them, or will they both suffer the consequences of destiny's displeasure?

    (AKA: Merlin and Arthur get shoved into the magical equivalent of a "getting along" shirt because they're idiots.)
