    Summary

    “You won’t tell him, will you?” he asked. Desperate in a quiet way he wouldn’t usually submit to. But Balinor regarded him with kindness and respect, bowing his head.

    “You can keep your secrets, but remember that Merlin keeps his own.”

    Summary

    Arthur turns and rushes towards him with a strong urgency. He shoves Merlin's shoulders, hands shaking with his desperate violence. “Dear Gods, don’t you ever just listen.”

    Merlin catches himself before he falls ungracefully to the hard floor. “What is wrong with you?!” Merlin shouts this, done with holding back.

    “You!” Arthur yells back, hands dramatically gesturing at Merlin. “You are what’s wrong,” Arthur begins, getting in Merlin's face, “you are supposed to only be my servant. Even if a terrible one at that. But somehow–somehow,” he wrenches, voice the replica of having given it your all, “I’ve never been so thoroughly corrupt.”

    Merlin draws back, shaking his head, hurt. “What’d you mean ‘corrupt’?”

    (Or, after a quest that nearly went wrong, Merlin confronts Arthur with his feelings, leading to many more finally being confessed.)

    Summary

    After Merlin's magic is discovered by Arthur, he understands the king's need for some time apart. But the loss of the king's trust is a bitter pill to swallow, and even more so the loss of his love. Forced to wait until Arthur is willing to deal with him again, Merlin begins to realize that the loss of Arthur's love isn't just emotionally painful, but physical as well. He hasn't been able to breathe without pain since that day in the forest. And his cough is producing flower petals, a sign that something much worse is going on. Merlin isn't stupid, but he without options. There's no cure, and even if there was, it's definitely not pressure he's willing to put on his love. Merlin is content with his decision.

    Arthur isn't.
