Summary
Merlin could feel his magic trying to break out, threatening to destroy everything around him. Realizing that he would not be able to hold her back, he decided to let her go. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, plunging everything into semi-darkness. Even Arthur and the others will probably end up in the rain he caused.
or
Devastated that his friends have forgotten about him, Merlin leaves Camelot and goes to meet the fate that he chooses.

Summary
“Merlin, I'm the greatest swordsman in the five kingdoms.” Arthur boasted. “I’ve fought more battles than I can count.”
”I’m aware, sire.”
”And I’ve always survived.”
”Not always.” Merlin muttered.
---
The day Arthur dies is the day Merlin refuses to let end. Again. And again. And again. Merlin’s stuck in a spiral—a dizzying, cruel dance of death and reset. With each attempt, his heart grows heavier, his magic darker, until all he can do is break.
And when the shards of his despair drag Arthur into the storm, the past and present shatter, leaving nothing but raw truth and fragile hope.
Now there's no more running. Just the two of them, the end of the world, and everything left unsaid.

Summary
“Arthur.”
Merlin is stumbling, barefoot, ungainly, down to the water’s edge before he has even made sense of what he’s seeing. He stands there, too hopeful to breathe, and watches the spot where the water tangles.
A hand. A head. Shoulders, a cape of water, and Merlin is running, crashing through the water, to the figure climbing out of the lake.
They meet where the water is waist-deep, and there they stop, several feet apart.
But it isn’t Arthur.
It’s Merlin.
Or, a grieving warlock tries to bring back his king.

That's how everyone figures out something is wrong.
After a large argument with Arthur, Merlin shuts off. He no longer will argue with Arthur.
Arthur is being driven insane by the silent treatment, or more accurately to respectful treatment, and drowns his sorrows at his father's ball.

Summary
Arthur glared at the pile of paperwork on his desk, imagining all the ways in which he could dispose of it and rid himself of the endless work. He could toss it to the wind, he could hold it under water until the text became illegible, he could set it on fire, he could do a thousand things to it, things that were oh so satisfying to imagine.
Now if only Merlin wasn't such a clumsy oaf and shook him out of his daydream it'd be almost perfect.
And why could he smell smoke?

Summary
Merlin never expected having himself a daughter, much less one who's a dragon. But raising Aithusa from her egg was probably the best decision he'd ever made - his love for her unmatched. Trouble starts brewing however, when she starts following him around everywhere.
So, when Arthur takes Merlin and the Knights on a hunt he only prays his dragon-daughter does not show up. Because how could he protect her from Arthur?
Will the fall take too much from them or will the autumn leaves smooth their heartbreak?

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.*
