Summary
“I mean it,” she said. “Don’t kill anyone, Astarion. You’ve gotten what you wanted. Seven thousand lives was enough.”
“I don’t take orders from you anymore. You just said so, yourself.”
“The moment you kill someone,” Rose replied, “is the moment I'll know that my next task is to stop you.”
“Darling,” Astarion grinned, “I would sincerely like to see you try.”

Summary
Merlin knew he was pushing his limits, that he was millimeters away from overstepping the invisible line that Arthur had wordlessly set and the warlock had been careful not to cross, but he was never one to listen to the rules that were set for him. Especially not when he was afraid.
Agravaine had managed to weasel his way into his king’s mind and ingrain doubts in the people he loved, the people that loved him...doubts that only took place and bloomed as the traitor lied and deceived and planted things against them. He had gotten rid of Gwen easily enough, and had almost gotten rid of Gaius. Merlin was afraid. Were a few words and items all it would take for Arthur to turn against him too?- Language:

Summary
Merlin is injured while (secretly) killing a beast the knights are "fighting." Obviously, he has to hide it, but that only goes so well when your insides are trying to be your outsides. Fortunately he's got a few friends who already know everything (and a few who will find out).

Summary
Arthur had never felt more desperate in his life for Merlin to just open his eyes. He knew he was an idiot and had made a million mistakes, but he was more than happy to spend the rest of his life making up for them if Merlin would just wake up. So please…PLEASE MERLIN WAKE UP!

Merlin swallowed. “No, I mean…”
Arthur understood what Merlin was getting at immediately, because at that moment water began pouring out of the spout. Within seconds, it was up to their ankles.
The grate above them made a terrifying amount of sense, suddenly.

We've Passed Our Future by Personwhokindawrites

Summary
Over time, Merlin had understood the message loud and clear; he was nothing but a servant.
Thousands of years doesn't change that
Arthur telling him he loves him, doesn't change that.
*****
Merlin waited, and as promised Arthur returned. But resurrection doesn't erase the past nor heal old wounds. As they navigate a modern world neither belongs to, they must confront whether love can survive the damage that rank imposed and whether Arthur saying "I love you" is enough to undo the years Merlin spent believing he was nothing. -

Summary
Merlin did not want to get up.
Throughout the night, as he lay there cocooned in the woolen blanket Hunith had sent all the way from Ealdor, he thought about how nice and toasty he felt and what a shame it would be when he was forced to untangle himself from it to go do his chores in the frosty air of Camelot on the cusp of winter.Bookmarked by inconsistentracoon

Summary
The snow bites into his cheek. The wind carves his cheekbone as he hunches his too-small shoulders. The cloak wrapped haphazardly around his neck flaps and snaps in the gale, threatening to choke him. He can’t even summon the strength to grit his teeth.
Undead legs move on.

Summary
“So, uh. Arthur is doing better-? Not like, healed better. But… The curse has stopped attacking him?” Merlin really tried to put as much nonchalance into his voice as possible, but Gaius knew him too well. More often than not, when Merlin did something to create problems for himself, he would leave out large parts of what had actually happened. Gaius raised his eyebrow to show Merlin he knew as much.
Finally giving up the act, he slumped down in his seat. “I kind of trapped Arthur’s soul in here with me,” he said weakly gesturing toward his head in defeat.
Gaius looked back at him with a special kind of fear. The one that came from having to hide something that could most definitely get you killed.
Pure exhaustion made his breath feel heavy as it left his lips. “He knows,” Merlin sighed, not even looking at Gaius as he confirmed his silent fear.
The cruel tone lacing Arthur’s voice only made him sink deeper. “Of course Gaius knew. After all, you’d need someone to strategize just how you could betray me best.” Merlin tried his best not to let Arthur’s hatred twist the knife buried in his heart any further.
