Summary
Three years into King Arthur’s reign, magic users across Camelot are growing restless. Though no more executions have taken place since Arthur made peace with the Druids, sorcery is still punishable by death. Frustrated and increasingly impatient, a group of rogue sorcerers decides to take matters into their own hand, kidnapping Merlin right from under Arthur's nose.
Thus begins a long journey, one where Arthur unearths some hidden truths about everything he thought he knew and Merlin's loyalty is put to the test.

Summary
“You heard me Merlin, leave,” Arthur tells him and Merlin knows he’s trying to sound authoritative but his voice comes out shaky.
"I thought we were friends," Merlin mutters, hoping to prod at whatever part of Arthur that knows him and trusts him that is left.
"So did I," the king responds and Merlin knows there is no point.
or...
Arthur survives his wound after the battle of Camlann but banishes Merlin for his sorcery. Merlin believes he will never return to Camelot again and Arthur believes he will never forgive Merlin. They would be quite wrong about that.

Summary
“You can talk to me, you know. About whatever it is that’s on your mind.”
No, no he very well couldn’t. And that was the whole problem, wasn’t it? Though it took them a long while to get there, Arthur was Merlin’s best friend. Of course, he wanted nothing more than to confide in him! He wanted to trust Arthur, he really did. But how could he do that, knowing what was on the line? Worst-case scenario would earn Merlin a place on the pyre, and best-case scenario would have Arthur subjected to a messy storm of hurt and betrayal. Merlin couldn’t do that to him, especially when he was already grappling with a growing mountain of responsibilities as a young prince. It was a no-brainer really. Merlin needed to keep his magic a secret. If not for his sake, for Arthur’s.
A rewrite of my favorite Merlin episode, because it would have been so perfect if this was when Arthur learned about Merlin's magic.
