Summary
Uther, King of Camelot and father to Arthur Pendragon, was in mortal peril.
This, in itself, was not news; Uther, by dint of a recalcitrant, bloodthirsty personality backed by military power and an unshakable belief in the Divine Right of Kings, had made a great deal of enemies in his day, and, in truth, made new ones almost daily.
But this time was different, in that it was entirely Arthur’s fault.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OrAfter Arthur accidentally puts his father's life in jeopardy, he must ride out of Camelot, with Merlin at his side, on a journey with no real end goal in sight

Summary
Merlin has moved on since the death of King Arthur centuries ago. Disillusioned, he had never used magic or sorcery since that day; he doubted his ability to use it now anyway. Now living in modern day England, in a place called Eastbrook, the new reformed name for Albion, the place was thriving with holiday makers.
Merlin’s best friend and part time lover, Molly Preston, was the only one who knew his true identity. Well, that’s what he thought anyway. Molly introducers him to a friend called Valla. But there is something about him that Merlin can’t quite comprehend. It was as if he knew him before. Then Vala tells Merlin some news about Arthur Pendragon, which shocks him to the core. Is Molly and Valla really who they say they are? The result, anyway, meant that Merlin must regain his magical powers quickly, if he is to help Arthur return for good. But one person stands in his way…an evil resurgent sorcerer called Mordred.

Summary
"Eternal one"? That's a new one for the resume, courtesy of a rather ominous prophecy unearthed with a suspiciously well-preserved tomb. For Merlin, reincarnation usually meant a quiet life (as quiet as it gets when you're surrounded by the oblivious reincarnations of the Round Table). But a near-drowning in a magically messed-up Lake Avalon and this sudden archaeological drama have rather spoiled the peace. Now, with Arthur's past-life déjà vu kicking in and- HER shadow lengthening across modern-day Wales, Merlin's starting to think fifteen centuries wasn't nearly long enough for a decent holiday. The lake tried to warn him. Probably. He just hopes they all don't end up drowning in the ensuing chaos. Again.

Summary
“Don’t come closer,” Merlin begs, throwing an arm out, and that– the hand attached to that arm is what halts Arthur in his place.
It's blood-drenched from whatever lifesaving measures he might have attempted, but more importantly, where the back of it was pale and smooth the last time Arthur looked, it is now covered in what look like dragon scales.
An alternate take on series 2 episode 13, The Last Dragonlord.
