Summary
Arthur had seen horrors before. Witnessed them, bore them, even committed them. But what had been done to Merlin...
They didn't even know the full extent, because Merlin physically couldn't speak of it. Perhaps he couldn't even remember, if his mind had retreated far enough. But what they did know was awful enough.
Arthur would never forget the sight of his dearest friend hanging limp, dragged from the depths of a pit by the cold iron chain around his waist, too near death from starvation, pain, and magic depletion to even notice the flogging pole he'd been headed toward.
Golden Age with scars — recovery arc post Merlin's capture & torture.

If 2 World Wars weren't enough to bring Arthur back what could have possibly made him come back now???

I was inspired by a Tiktok edit of Arthur seeing Merlin injured during the episode 'The Kindness of Strangers' and so I decided to write him into the episode.

Summary
During what should have been a secret trip through the Valley of the Fallen Kings, the Knights of the Round table are ambushed, leading to separation of the King and his manservant.
In the days following, Merlin finds himself at the mercy of a known warlord, and ally of Morgana, Helios as a the newest member of his harem. He learns quickly that the warlord is as cruel as his ally, and just as ambitious. Isolated from everything, and everyone, he holds dear, the young warlock must try to find a way to escape his captors, without losing himself in the process.
*Takes place during "Servant of Two Masters", but it is still not completely cannon-compliant. Some events will have been moved around because damnit I said so. I love the friendship between Lancelot and Merlin to let him be dead.*

Summary
It all started with one question, a seemingly inconsequential question. Merlin finds himself wondering what Arthur meant, and why Arthur would ever ask such a thing. It's not until weeks later when Merlin lets down his guards, does he learn Arthur's motives. And not until weeks after that does Merlin's answer change for good.

Summary
Merlin knew it was going to happen at one point or another, it has happened before and he knows he’s not subtle enough, he's not as careful as he should. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t feel like all the breath has left him and the blind panic of something worse than fearing for your life.
So, it happened. Merlin just wished it was under a less bloody circumstance.
“I was going to give you a hand,” Gwaine said, with the sword still on his hand. Merlin can’t breathe “but clearly you didn’t need it.”
