Summary
Red Fated Strings overlapped one another all the time. In this very room, webs overlapped and passed through each other without creating any physical tension to the people they were attached to.
Except Merlin's string is not tangled on anything. Anything at all. It’s short. It’s cutting directly across the throne room, through the alley of tables, to the hand of—
Prince Arthur Pendragon is looking at him. He seems to be in the exact same process of realizing what Merlin sees…but by the expression on his face, Merlin isn’t sure if the prince is ready to kill him or throw him out of his ball.

Summary
Balinor, summoned by Uther to negotiate with the Great Dragon Kilgharrah, witnesses the devastating aftermath of the Great Purge of Magic and is forced to escape Camelot, leaving behind a pregnant Hunith.
Years later, his son Merlin, who struggles to conceal his magic, becomes fast friends with Prince Arthur. Their bond is tested when Arthur learns the truth about Merlin’s magic, but his loyalty to Merlin remains steadfast, though their relationship is marred by the weight of secrets and struggles for the safety of magic users in Camelot.
"Arthur..." Merlin whispered, heart twisting with a mixture of relief and dread. Even as the world crumbled around them, his friend's safety was his first concern; his keen eyes scanned for any sign of injury on the prince's body.
"Merlin?" Arthur's voice cut through the stillness, sharp with disbelief. But Merlin could only offer him a rueful smile, the kind that said, 'We'll laugh about this later... if there is a later.'
"Nice of you to join the party," Merlin joked weakly, trying to mask the gravity of the situation. "Fashionably late as always, you clotpole."

Summary
"Arthur took one look at that unmerlin like grin and knew something was wrong. Before he could as much as stand up Merlin's eyes shifted to gold and the floor cracked. That awful grin extended as vines erupted out of the new Earth. "
i.e. Merlin gets possessed. It goes as well as expected.

Summary
Merlin is terrified when he accidentally reveals his magic to Arthur and the knights. But apparently he doesn't have any reason to worry.
He does have a pretty good reason to be angry, though.
