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
When a sparring accident nearly kills Arthur, Merlin reacts without thinking - and exposes his magic before the entire training yard. But the fallout is interrupted by a sorcerer’s attack that rips Merlin’s soul from his body, leaving behind only Emrys: magic incarnate, stripped of warmth and memory. As Camelot reels, Arthur must face not just the politics of magic and the prophecy surrounding him, but his own feelings for the servant who has always stood by his side. Magic has always come at a cost - but Arthur never imagined the price would be Merlin himself.

“Never wander alone, my darling, or Jenny Grinteeth will get you,” Hunith used to say. “Or if you forget, make sure you say the rhyme - that wards her off.”

He is surrounded by people, but he doubts they love him; they can’t really even know him. The loneliness becomes so routine, he forgets his mother’s warnings and the funny, little rhymes, which might otherwise have saved his life.

Summary
“How can I ask this of you?” Merlin whispered, “I was meant to bring peace to Albion, not destroy it. I’m no good if you get hurt.”
The king took his court sorcerer’s hands. They were trembling, frail things like little fledglings, and he gripped tight and didn’t let go, “Merlin. Camelot fights for what is right. Once magic was reinstated, I pledged to be an ally to you and your kind. I, and this kingdom, would be a disgrace to that promise if I did nothing now.”
Merlin gazed at him so desperately. Arthur didn’t know what to do with it. Merlin was always so strong, usually being the one to comfort Arthur. He was his best advisor, and his closest confidant, and he’d never seen him so anguished.
***
The golden age of Albion was here, or so Merlin thought. After learning of sorcerers in the hundreds being captured and enslaved by a neighbouring kingdom, Merlin felt more useless than ever. What use is Emrys if he can't protect his people? He had to act, but he couldn't bring Camelot into it; the risk was too high. Unfortunately, his friends didn't see eye to eye with him on that, and insisted on fighting with him. Would they come out victorious?
Would they survive at all?

Summary
"Mordred knows the answer, feels it, before Merlin has even had time to articulate a thought. He answers for him. 'He lives his worst fear every day.'
He's sure the others would react if they could. He dares not look.
Merlin turns his head towards Mordred. 'Just as you do.' He says, not unkindly.
'You do?' the voice asks, curious now.
'Yes.' They both reply in unison.
'Why did his fears not manifest?' the voice asks Mordred. Why it chose Mordred to respond, he does not know, but he answers despite it.
'They did not need to. They are already here.' He says.
Merlin nods, slowly, agreeing."-
Look, I still haven't learned to do summaries. I'm sorry. Eventually, I'll get there. Probably. Maybe.

Summary
Deep in the forest an ancient temple slumbers, the legacy of a god carved into its walls, a promise of salvation and a promise of eternity.
Arthur Pendragon didn't go looking for the prophecy of the Once and Future king, but when a stranger pushes it into his lap he can't let go. Who the hell is Emrys, and why would a sorcerer help him in the first place? The druids hold the key, but the path to discovery is long, and he may soon wish he'd never step foot on it all. When a tragic sacrifice is made, Arthur is left with a choice between betrayal and forgiveness, understanding and ignorance, love and hate.
Meanwhile Merlin would follow his king anywhere, and he has. He could never bring himself to regret following Arthur that day, but he would always wonder how different life could have been if he had somehow convinced him to just go home. Tortured peasant boys don't make good Gods, and the consequences have the potential to change the world - if he could only escape the Sarrum long enough to try.
or: The one where Emrys is a God and doesn't know it, Arthur pushes until he breaks, Sarrum is evil and Merlin never wanted any of this to happen. Mordred's just happy to be here.
