    Summary

    Merlin is tired. Magic had been dying for ages, and he'd tried to stave it off but to no avail. So now the apocalypse has descended upon humanity, and he is so, so tired. So in true Merlin fashion he had to do one last stupid thing, but truly, he couldn't possibly harness that kinda power, right? In his last moments he wished for when things were simpler, before things had turned to right shit.

    He hadn't expected it to work. What was he supposed to do now? Could he fix everything?

    Summary

    A fill for this prompt at kinkme_merlin: Merlin goes through a lot of trauma and has gotten very used to hiding it, moving on (or at least appearing to), and coping silently and without anyone noticing, because most of the time no one can know something happened. One day something traumatic happens to him, which everyone knows about, and everyone is waiting for Merlin to snap, only for him to...not. Arthur is caught between worried and suspicious, and sets about to get to the bottom of this.
