Shameless cuddle fic. I won't even try to pretend there's anything more to it than that.

Summary
Navigating life events that turn his world upside down, including his ascension to the throne and a revelation that rocks him to his core, Arthur's ever-evolving relationship with Merlin becomes the most important of his life. No one ever said love was easy.
“I would die before I hurt you,” Arthur said, his voice strangled. “I would kill anyone who ever tried to do you harm and it pains me to think that you could ever fear me.”
“I don’t understand,” Merlin said breathlessly. “You’re the king, you – ”
“I’m not standing here as a king, Merlin!” Arthur shouted, his voice breaking as he did so. “I’m standing here as a man, a man who believed he knew you completely, a man who thought you were the one constant in his life, a man who thought…who thought you were his,” he finished, horrified to feel tears pricking his eyes.

Summary
“Is he a noble?” Merlin blinked at him like he had asked something incredibly stupid.
“No. Why does that matter?”
“It’s the number one requirement to become a knight, you have to be of noble birth.”
“What? No it’s not.”
“Of course it is!”
“Not in Essetir. Not Odin’s land, or Alingeds. Mercia, Nemeth, Daobeth-”
“But it is in Camelot!” Arthur said, irritated. Merlin stared at him for several seconds.
“That actually explains a lot.”
“What is that supposed to mean?!”
“Nothing! Nothing!
“I’ll have you know that every man to become a knight of Camelot has to pass even more rigorous challenges! They all serve with honor!” Arthur was practically breathing her air at this point as she snorted.
“Are you joking? Some of the knights here spend half of their shift sleeping.” Merlin didn’t really want to get into the details of how she knew that.
“They do not-”
“I’ll make a bet with you,” Merlin paused, waiting for Arthur to calm down, “-if I can prove that half of your knights are absolutely worthless, you will give Lancelot a chance.”
"Fine." Arthur was going to regret this.

Summary
Arthur was at his wits' end when he caught Merlin walking out of the tavern, which led him to make a horrible mistake, one that proved to be the last straw for Merlin, who decided there was nothing else to do but publically quit his job and leave Camelot in a huff.
Arthur never realized how much Merlin did for him-- or for Guinevere-- until he was gone; neither he nor his wife realized just how integral Merlin was to Camelot... and to their marriage.
