Summary
"Merlin can’t relax without air and thinks Arthur Pendragon might be the biggest idiot in Albion at that moment. He shakes his head again, making sure to glare at Arthur as well, because it is the only way he knows how to communicate that it simply isn't possible to relax since he can’t breathe and everything hurts too much..."
Arthur helps Merlin through a difficult moment in a very unexpected way.

Summary
Arthur feels like he’s standing on a precipice without knowing how he got here. He swallows. “He—”
“—damned himself. So you’ve said.”
They stare at each other, and the distance between them seems to be growing in leaps and bounds. Arthur can’t remember the last time he felt so estranged from Merlin, not during the whole disaster with Caerleon, or when Merlin disappeared. Not even when—
“Then I’ve damned myself as well.”
Without intending to, Arthur pushes Merlin just one step too far. Now he's left without his manservant but a hundred questions, a world of hurt, and guilt that clings to him like a shadow. Well, and a notebook filled with drawings because apparently, Merlin can draw on top of being a sorcerer. No matter how often Arthur tells himself that he just wants to forget, he can't help but come back to the collection of sketches and notes, a chronicle of all that Merlin has done.
Maybe their story isn't quite over yet.

Summary
“I’m the king,” Arthur says grumpily, swallowing around the stone that has settled in his throat, “I can wear what I want.”
“What about what I want?”
“I’m the king,” Arthur repeats slowly, since Merlin is being particularly thick, “and so you can also wear what I want.”
Or, Arthur dresses Merlin, which goes about as well as you would expect.

Summary
"Gaius sighed, 'That’s the problem, my boy. It’s so rare that it hasn’t been seen in over a generation. The only account I could find was limited. The patient had fallen in love with a married man who did not love her, and she had started to develop a cough that had produced flowers rather than mucus. A post-mortem examination found that a flower had magically planted itself in the woman’s lungs and had wrapped around her heart.'"
In which Merlin develops Hanahaki disease, but mysteriously does not die from it.

Summary
Merlin spent the week and a half that Arthur was gone splitting his time between crafting careful explanations that never ended up explaining the important things, the things that would make Arthur listen, and making half-baked plans to escape to Ealdor. He found a number of fire-proofing spells that would have no effect if they decided to cut his head off, and figured out how to adapt an invulnerability spell he had been trying to find a way to cast on Arthur without him noticing so that it would protect him from being decapitated, but it would have no effect on anything but metal. Despite all his frantic searching, he did not find a teleportation spell, because that would have been too simple and if there was one thing Merlin had learned in his years at Camelot, it was that nothing was ever simple.
