    Summary

    The first thing Arthur does when he sees Merlin again is kiss him.

    It’s the wrong thing to do, he knows, especially when Merlin is too shocked (or disoriented, maybe) to kiss him back. But what else can Arthur do? He’s watched Merlin for over a millennia from behind a veil.

    He's done watching.

    --

    In which Merlin, after fifteen hundred years of waiting, is ready to give up and Arthur returns to him, prophecy be damned.

     

    Note: suicidal ideation is very vague and brief, but proceed with caution if that is a concern for you

    Summary

    After revealing his magic, Merlin promised his king that he would tell him if he was hurt or needed help. The aftermath of an assassination attempt sent him, injured, stumbling into Arthur's chambers to fulfill his promise. Once he did that, he figured he could finish getting ready for the visiting delegation and wrap up his chores. He wasn't sure why Arthur was being so weird about it. He was only lightly shot.

    Based on the prompt:
    "I have to tell you something."
    "Can it wait? I'm busy."
    "It's urgent."
    "Okay, fine. What's so important that you had to interrupt me?"
    "I've been shot."
    "Why didn't you lead with that?"

    Summary

    The man was exactly like on the photos Gwaine had shown him. Blond with pale blue eyes and a sharp jaw. His smile dug cute dimples in his cheeks. Merlin breathed deeply. In his experience, gorgeous men often had a horrendous personality. But this guy couldn’t be too bad, if he was Gwaine’s friend.

    “Sorry, I hope I didn’t keep you waiting for too long. I’m Merlin, by the way,” Merlin said with a self-conscious smile and a nervous chuckle.

    “I arrived just a few minutes ago, Merlin. I’m Arthur.”

    The way his name rolled off Arthur’s tongue made a shiver run down Merlin’s spine. He wasn’t ashamed of admitting that he really wanted to hear it again. He even found Arthur’s posh accent attractive. Gwen would be cackling when he’d tell her. That was perhaps the first time that Merlin encountered a rich person that he didn’t immediately want to punch.

    Summary

    At some point the monster chasing Merlin had had names that meant something to him.

    Percival
    Elyan
    Lancelot
    Gwaine
    Leon
    Arthur

    But not anymore. Now, the group of knights slinks through the forest at break-neck speed, with such a degree of practiced and lethal unison they may as well have been the golden dragon curled on each of their shoulders.

    So Merlin is running.

    Merlin is running for his life.

    OR

    Merlin accidentally reveals himself as a sorcerer to Arthur and the knights. A very traumatizing 24 hour sorcerer-hunt proceeds this, that leads to a very conflicted Arthur, a very injured Merlin, and a very angry Gwaine.
