Summary
Merlin did not want to get up.
Throughout the night, as he lay there cocooned in the woolen blanket Hunith had sent all the way from Ealdor, he thought about how nice and toasty he felt and what a shame it would be when he was forced to untangle himself from it to go do his chores in the frosty air of Camelot on the cusp of winter. -

Summary
When Merlin insists on going through ancient ruins that have previously brought him to his knees in pain, he asks for Mordred's assistance in swallowing poison, allowing him to communicate with the Gods. He reluctantly agrees, watching warily and with immense guilt as his friend collapses in front of everyone.
"This will stop my heartbeat," He says pointing to the bowl of leaves, that weren't quite fully ground up yet. "And that," He motions to the vial Mordred's still holding. "Should bring me back to life."
"It should, or it will?" He asks.
Merlin hesitates, giving him a small frown. "I'm 75% confident."

Summary
Merlin feels overburdened and under the weather, but he doesn't want to add stress to Arthur's efforts in revitalizing his kingdom after recovering the throne from Morgana, so he tries not to take it personally when Arthur gives him a hard time. But when reports tell of a dragon within Camelot's borders and Merlin gets dragged along on a mission against his nature, the king only seems to double down on his mistreatment of his servant, making protecting the royal clotpole a lot more difficult as he fights off an untreated fever.
"Any time he felt as though he was getting somewhere with his destiny something would come around and ruin it. And more often than not, that something was Arthur."
AU where Arthur knows that Merlin used magic to help him recover his kingdom from Morgana in The Sword in the Stone. Only, Merlin doesn't realize.

Summary
Merlin had looked worried the previous day and he had barely eaten anything at dinner. Arthur had tried to get him to open up about what was wrong, but Merlin refused to divulge any information. Once they had been done eating, he had diverted Arthur’s attention with a heated kiss full of promises before retreating to his study. Or so he had said. His husband had a tendency to deal with problems and threats on his own, going out in the dead of night to fight whoever and whatever endangered Arthur’s or the Kingdom’s safety.
