Summary
Arthur has always had distant dreams of leaving Camelot. They were never more than a wistful fantasy, at least once he grew up.
Finding out about Merlin’s magic changes everything though, and not only because Arthur would do more to keep Merlin safe than he cares to admit. What follows are secrets upon secrets, allowing the dreams to slip back in as all his father’s lies unravel around him. Slowly but surely, Camelot feels less like a home and more like a gilded cage, and Arthur isn’t so certain anymore whether he’s the right person to carry this legacy. If he even wants to.
One final secret, one opportunity, and suddenly the dreams aren’t mere dreams anymore. Merlin wouldn’t be Merlin if he didn’t follow wherever Arthur goes, and as they try to outrun Uther’s manhunt for them, they have to learn to live a life that’s about more than duty, other’s expectations, and a destiny that has never once cared for them.
Or: Arthur long since expected that one day, he might have to flee Camelot with Merlin. He just never thought that he would be the reason.

Summary
Based on an old Kink Meme Prompt:
Death has stolen Merlin and now all of Albion is dying. The Gods reveal and Demand that Merlin be rescued at all cost for he is the Avatar of Albion's Magic, the lands life force; and whoever brings him back will rule Merlin and Albion destiny be damned.
Arthur just wants his Merlin (together or not together, u pick) back and will travel to the depths of the underworld to bring him home and by his side but Death will not let go of it's prize easily or the other men who wish to control Merlin.Good thing Arthur has Dream Merlin helping him.
