Summary
Merlin is mentally Ill. This is his... journey? Start to finish of... healing? That's the word I want to use. He gets better in the end. Please remember mental illness wasn't really acknowledged in this era. They didn't have a word for depression or a diagnosis like nowadays, but people felt that common ground of low mood, they would have somewhat known it existed.

Summary
Merlin admits to having magic and is promptly put in cold iron and thrown in the dungeons. Arthur doesn’t know what to do. He lets time pass onward as he tries to come to a decision, all while lying about Merlin’s location. When he can’t procrastinate any longer Merlin’s trial is held.
But Arthur doesn’t need to make a decision. Merlin makes it for him.

Thats it thats the joke.
or
Arthur wished he was dead.
“Don’t,” He heard Elyan said, “I am too transfixed by whatever this is to save this kingdom’s sovereign, Sire. No offence.”
Did he say that out loud? “Treason, Sir Elyan,”
or
Merlin gets drunk, Arthur gets jealous and the knights gets a story of a lifetime

Summary
All Merlin wanted was to cool down—Camelot in the dead of summer is unbearable.
Instead, he got a castle room sprouting grass, birds nesting in the ceiling, a spellbook that turned into a rabbit, and guards extorting him for air conditioning.
Absolutely fantastic.

Summary
Merlin saved Camelot with his magic—but the display was terrifying enough to turn even his closest friends away. Now, the people who once cared for him look at him with nothing but fear. He’s been replaced in Arthur’s and the queen’s chambers, scorned in the streets, and pushed out from every last one of his roles.
He drifts through the castle like a ghost, watching Arthur slowly restore magic to the kingdom—without him.
He tells himself it’s enough. That it has to be enough.
Then a visiting kingdom arrives—openly magical, warm, and welcoming. For the first time in what feels like an eternity, Merlin is seen, valued, liked.
He stayed for the promise of Albion. But maybe Albion has come—and Merlin simply isn’t part of it.
