Summary
"Let him think I hate him. If that’ll stop him from risking his neck for me over and over again, then it’s a sacrifice I don’t have to think twice about."
—
Arthur finds out Merlin has magic. He also finds out how often Merlin risked his life for him and so, he does the only thing he can think of to protect him: banishment.
Hurt and angry, Merlin leaves and swears to not look back.
But, when two years pass and Morgana shows up at Merlin’s door, urging him to fill Gaius’ position as Court Physician, Merlin agrees. He really doesn’t know why, but Arthur is sure Merlin would do just about anything to get on his nerves.
Unprepared for the shock of seeing Merlin back in the castle, Arthur is forced to speed along his plans to lift the ban on magic. But between stubborn councilors, a mysterious plague, a still angry Merlin, and Morgana being Morgana, Arthur is fairly certain he’ll lose his mind before the first year of his reign even ends.

Summary
Drool pools in Arthur’s mouth, trickling past his tongue and hitting the ground with a grotesque splat. Followed by another. And another. He’d be embarrassed if he weren’t so damn hungry. He eyeballs the ill-guarded sandwich and wonders if he could sneak close enough to pilfer it.
The young man raises his head and visibly jolts at the sight of the big dog mere steps away from him.
Now, it’s Arthur’s turn to jolt in surprise. Because he knows this face.
It’s Merlin Emrys.

Summary
Based on this: (my post, but I altered it a bit)
Arthur is granted a wish.After years of obliviousness, Arthur has grown an awareness for how blind he is, so he wishes to be able to see people for who they really are.
That's how he begins to see people dressed differently than before. He sees servants dressed like people of the court, he sees closeted people finally representing as themselves, he sees his wife with an eternal crown over her head.
And then he sees a man walking into his rooms. His face held high, his eyes golden. His face and hands are scarred all over and Arthur knows it's emotional scars. But the man glows, his clothes that worthy of a king, no. A god.
Only when the man opens his mouth and pulls away the curtains, does it dawn on Arthur whose in front of him.
"Rise and shine :D"

“Oh, we’re all impetuous, in our own ways,” Edward says now, and Arthur snorts.
“Quite. Benjamin’s knee deep in gambling debts, Anne’s had her little indiscretion with Rafferty, I’ve fucked my way through London’s eligible bachelors, and you’ve… well, you’ve changed the logo on our beer bottles."

Summary
A dagger Arthur finds hidden in Merlin’s chambers fills him with unease. Already burdened by Merlin’s absence, Arthur faces mounting tension within the council. Despite his tough exterior and foul mood, he strives to hold Camelot together while grappling with growing doubts about Merlin’s secretive behavior.
After a grueling training session with the knights, Arthur retreats to reflect on Merlin’s frequent “tavern” visits, a mystery made all the more puzzling by Gaius’s repeated use of the excuse. As the days pass, Arthur’s suspicions deepen.
Some truths cannot be hidden.

Summary
What Arthur knows: Merlin, his clumsy and foolish servant, is actually quite smart. He’s also loyal, and brave, and in many ways the reason Arthur has so many good people in his life.
The goal: Make Merlin realize how important he is to Arthur, no matter how stubborn he's clearly chosing to be about it.
What Arthur does not know, yet: Merlin has magic. Also they're very slightly a little bit in love.
It's going to take them a while to figure it all out. Meanwhile the knights have known for ages, Gwen figures it out pretty quick, and pretty much all of Camelot has also known ever since that weird peasant stumbled through the gates and challenged the Prince all those years ago.

Arthur looked at himself in horror. He must be still sleeping, he assumed. This is all a nightmare. This isn’t real. He reached over to touch his face but his hand phased through it like he was made of fog.

“I wonder what Queen Ygraine would think of your actions here tonight.”“I beg your pardon!”
“I wonder what your sister would think if she knew that you were having an affair with her husband’s bastard daughter” Merlin elaborated. He looked entirely too comfortable taunting the man.

Day Twenty-Two: Bleeding Through (+Reopening Wounds, "Oh that's not good")
Some of his knights stayed in defensive positions even as their opponents retreated from the battlefield, but there were five in particular who sprinted after Arthur. As their king knelt beside the broken form of his best friend, blind to everything except the sight of Merlin still breathing, it was one of these five who muttered, "Oh, that's not good."

Summary
"You...Are Emrys?" Arthur asked slowly. He turned to look back at Merlin who only offered a bright smile in return. It wasn't comforting. In fact, Arthur was fairly certain it was the same smile he gave when he returned Arthur's dirty laundry and tried to insist he washed it.
"I am." The man nodded solemnly "Though you may call me Alator."
Arthur had to fight to keep his face completely blank. Right. Fine. Okay. He held up a finger before gesturing Mordred a bit closer. The knight shuffled to his side, leaning in so he could hear when Arthur started whispering.
"What did this prophecy you keep mentioning say again?" He asked and when Mordred opened his mouth, held up a hand. "About me and Emrys."
"Oh," Mordred said and shrugged "You fall in love with him."
Arthur slowly turned back to Alator. Then back to Mordred.
"...are you sure?"
Or
Alator lives. This sets off a series of events that include: Mordred coming forward as a druid, Arthur learning of the existence of Emrys, Merlin asking Alator to please pretend to be Emrys, Alator agreeing, and Mordred deciding the best revenge is convincing Arthur that he is destined to fall in love with a man older than his father.
