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.*

Summary
„M-Merlin?“, Gaius stammered, sounding like he was on the verge of a heart attack.
„Yes?“, asked Merlin, puzzled.
Gaius nearly fell off his chair.
„Merlin, I can’t see you!“, he shouted.
„What do you mean you can’t see me? I‘m right here“, Merlin replied. „Maybe you need to get your glasses checked, they aren’t working properly.“
„Merlin, look down at your hands!“
Merlin did. Or rather he tried. Because he found that he couldn’t look at his own hands because there were no hands to look at. His hands were still there because he could feel them and one of them was holding up his spoon. It was just that they weren’t there.Or: Merlin turns himself invisible by accident and finally gets to see Arthur freaking out about him missing in all his emotionally constipated glory.

Merlin opened his eyes to roll them at the answer, but they caught on the sight ahead of him, and his stomach twisted around itself. It was a slave cart like the one Freya had been kept in, only bigger and filled with people.

Summary
“You know,” Merlin said, feeling faint, dizzy and exhausted. “Your kidnapping etiquette could do better. You haven’t even offered me a meal yet.”
“Shut the hell up,” Hugo said, throwing a harsh punch into Merlin’s stomach, making the warlock suck in his breath and cough violently.
--
“What if we are unable to find him?” Elyan asked.
“We’ll find him,” Arthur insisted firmly. Leon and Elyan shared a worried look with each other.
“Sire,” Leon said. “We have to consider the possibility though. And think of a plan of action for if he is not found.”
“He will be found,” Arthur said and Leon’s shoulders fell.
“But, Sire-” “That’s enough!” Arthur shouted and his knights fall silent.
~~~
Merlin was kidnapped and tortured for information about Arthur's plan of attack. Arthur goes a little crazy until Merlin is back where he belongs, and then some things are revealed.

Summary
Arthur was having a terrible day.
Merlin had been late (a phenomenon so common it hardly bore remarking upon) and had nicked all of Arthur’s sweetmeats, training was called off due to a light drizzle his knights insisted on calling a thunderstorm, Merlin dropped half of Arthur’s armor on his foot, and now there was apparently a murderer in the castle.
And, what’s worse, Merlin had disappeared and hadn’t been seen in hours.

Summary
Some had guessed, probably.
Some would never even imagine, how cunning he once was.
Some others would say he was being childish. He could deny, it did seem like that.
For another soul to rise...
He fell.
And it was all due to a single, fortunate coincidence

Summary
The Royal pair had weird expressions on their faces as they looked at him, almost pained as they held their breaths.
"What's your name?" The King asked, descending the steps, "Why are you here?"
"My name's Gabriel," His hands clasped to his sides as he bowed deeply, "But please, Your Majesty! You have to help my father! He's hurt in the woods and made me come alone because he was too weak! He said you're the only ones I can trust to help! Please, he might die! You have to save him!"
The Queen, who was next to her husband, stepped closer to him and knelt down, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Who's your father, sweetie?"
He glanced at her, standing up straight as he reached into his back pocket, pulling out his dad's old red neckerchief. The whole room gasped at the sight of it. "He said this would prove I'm telling the truth, that his name is Merlin."

Summary
After living for centuries, the greatest warlock ever has finally snapped! Merlin, under his multiple alter egos, emerges as a mysterious and powerful threat in the 21st century. With Earth being fated to be crushed by an asteroid, this old man who can save them goes missing! In comes the ancient King Arthur, who everyone has their hopes on, but his head isn’t on straight and he isn’t as interested in saving everyone as he is in looking for Merlin. And to do that, Merlin’s descendent, Count Myrddin III, who turns out to be much more passionate and devoted to Arthur than any man ought to be, may be the key to finding Merlin.

Summary
It was not until Sir Mordred interrupted Elyan’s report that it was confirmed that Merlin’s disappearance was of his own volition.
“He trusts me,” the youngest knight said suddenly, putting them all to silence. Mordred wore a frown over his lips, and his eyes gleamed like a dew-kissed leaf. No one noticed before, but he kept his vision downwards, and his hands trembled in restless fists.
“What do you mean?” said Arthur, even now, recalling the drunken stupor the boy was in the previous night. When he did not respond, he asked more firmly, “Mordred, what do you mean?”
Then Mordred stilled like a statue, eyes fixed on one of the windows above Percival’s head before speaking haltingly. “Merlin left because he trusts me.”
