Merlin had thought he didn’t know what he was getting into when he cleared the air and agreed to stop hating Mordred, but it turned out the knight, not the warlock, was the one who was completely unprepared for what it would mean to be considered Merlin’s friend.

Summary
Out of instinct honed by a decade of battle and split-second decisions, Arthur whirls around, and is promptly faced with the sight of Merlin—Merlin, who trips over about ten things an hour and cannot lie to save his life and has proven his loyalty to Arthur in a thousand different ways—thrusting the ceremonial sword towards Arthur’s chest.
The very air seems to have stilled.
Or: Merlin tries to kill Arthur, courtesy of the Fomorrah, and this time, Gwen and Gaius don't get to Merlin soon enough to knock him out.

Summary
Uther is dead, Merlin feels guilty and Arthur is a bit terrified. Arthur is about to be crowned King, which implies changes, and both Arthur and Merlin fear them. But changes are not always bad, are they? And some things don't need to change. Arthur and Merlin just need to remind that to each other.
Or
What crossed Merlin and Arthur's minds during the 'You are a loyal friend' scene? What happened after Arthur suggested having breakfast together at the end of The Wicked Day? How did Merlin and Arthur live Arthur's coronation? And how come Merlin kept being Arthur's manservant after he was crowned King, if kings don't usually have a single manservant?

Merlin, Morgana, Arthur and Gwen start working on helping magic users and generally everyone, whom Uther dismisses as unimportant. The four of them stand united, even against the forces of destiny.

Summary
Mordred hasn't seen his brother in years - ever since the Druids took him in to teach him when he was a child. That didn't exactly work out, but he never went back. There was more than one reason why he left in the first place after all. He's wondered from time to time how they are, but he doesn't know. Not until he accidentally finds him again. When he's working with Morgana and her slavers. Because he has been captured. Because he is a knight of Camelot. Well then, this is going to be awkward if he isn't careful.

Summary
Uther was having a nice day, until some sorcerer ruined it.
Oh, I see where you're confused. No, he doesn't mean the sorcerer who stormed into the throne room and broke his favourite window. He means his son's idiot manservant who's making it really hard for Uther to feign ignorance regarding the fact that the boy obviously has magic.
