Summary
There was a frustrating and somewhat disturbing eagerness his magic had—increasingly often—to not only protect and fight for Arthur, but to please him. To spoil him, Merlin thought, glaring at the plum in his hand.

Summary
“So,” Arthur begins in a teasing voice. “Did you miss me?”
“No,” Merlin lies. “I have no idea what would give you that impression.”
Arthur arches an eyebrow. “Three days of rain, Merlin?”
Merlin shrugs. “Nature truly is a mystery.”

Or - Arthur and Merlin reunite after a few day's apart. It is possible Merlin was a (little) dramatic whilst Arthur was away.

Summary
Camelot is a lot bigger than the letter suggested it to be.
The buildings here tower at three stories tall, sometimes even four, and that’s only in the lower town. The battlements alone leave trailing shadows over the roads, the stone and brick laid down who-knows how long ago.Merlin clutches Gaius’ letter close, looking down every now and then to recheck the directions. The roads are winding and narrow with more than a few dead-ends.
His offer hangs just under the directions:"Mentor under me and I can teach you the control you seek – a physician’s apprentice is a noble trade not many young men have the opportunity to undertake. Do you understand?"
Merlin didn’t understand at first, not until Hunith pressed a set of Will’s old clothes into confused hands. As tough as it is for a sheltered boy to saunter into a new city to take a position under an esteemed healer – not even considering the illegalities of the implied additional tutelage – it would be an impossibility for even the most headstrong of women.

Summary
“I’m telling you, Arthur, you really should’ve seen-”
“Daddy!”
Morgana’s cut off by the sound of panicked screaming. Arthur launches to his feet, just in time to catch Mordred as he flies into his arms, a writhing mess of tears.

Summary
Merlin was a kind and gentle soul, sometimes too kind and too gentle for his own good. Or you know, his own wellbeing. Arthur on the other hand, well…there was a reason that Arthur’s manservant was considered off limits. Any who dared harm him was not long for Camelot (or this world for that matter).
Or the five people Merlin unintentionally gets exiled, and the one he gets exiled on purpose.
