Summary
Merlin tugged at the peeling skin on the horn, it was hard and smooth like solid wax. He rubbed, tugged, then felt the relief of it cracking. Then he scratched and felt something soft.
He tugged harder at the skin. It lifted off easily and the soft thing started to expand. Merlin poked at it. He felt it slump.
“What in Albion?” He asked aloud. He pulled at it and it unfurled. He saw it drop, he felt it brush his ear and land on his shoulder. Merlin squeezed it.
He bolted downstairs.
“Merlin?” Gaius groaned when he lit a candle. Merlin stared at the mirror in horror.
The growths were feathery but felt like the smooth, snake skin when he touched them. Completely unfurled they fell just past his shoulder blades. In the candle light they were an iridescent black or dark blue. -

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
As a necromancer Merlin had a duty to the dead, as much as he avoided it. However, Merlin wasn't sure if he was lucky or not to have met a vampire in a cemetery, especially when he was investigating murders perpetrated by a vampire.
