Summary
“Arthur,” said Leon, his voice thick with emotion that Arthur had rarely heard from him. “Let go.”
Someone else came and kneeled in front of Arthur. He thought distantly that it might have been Gwaine. Still, Arthur spared neither of the knights a glance nor a response as he cradled Merlin’s limp form closer to his chest. Maybe if Arthur held him close enough it would fill the gaping hole he felt where the king’s heart had surely been torn out.
“Arthur,” Leon said again, voice cracking this time as he spoke louder. He cleared his throat and continued. “You need to let him go. We need to take him home.”

Arthur didn't know how this had happened. It wasn't supposed to happen. Merlin wasn't meant to die.

Summary
“Tell me Merlin, how does the entire castle seem to know that you have magic and that I haven’t yet sentenced you to death?”
“I don’t know sire. I haven’t told anyone, I promise.” Merlin was close to panic. If everyone knew now, he wouldn’t be safe anywhere within the citadel. Merlin knew that those who supported magic were few in Camelot. He would find no ally within those walls. Arthur had meant to take his time thinking about what to do with Merlin, but now that the news was out, would he rush his execution in order to keep face?

Summary
Merlin walks over to where the crown was balancing dangerously on the corner of the table it had been thrown at. Picking up the crown and the rag he’d been using previously, he cleans it over before turning to where Arthur was watching him attentively, silently sitting on the bench. The taller boy takes a few steps so he’s stood in front of the other and gently raises the crown to set it onto the mop of gold and strokes down the hair sticking up around it, trying to ignore how the other boy looks up at him, leaning into the touch.
The brunette takes two steps back and whispers “Go back to your wife Arthur,” Arthur stands and Merlin tells himself the other is shaking from the alcohol.
Or; Gwen and Arthur are just married and Merlin sneaks away, not expecting Arthur to come looking for him.
