Summary
'"They want me to work for them. Poor fuckers,” Merlin said cheerfully. Arthur mumbled an agreement and something about his work ethic, then stopped and looked at him suspiciously.
“And that’s a good thing why?”
“Because they can’t make me, obviously."'
The gang are captured by some people who fancy the power of Emrys on their side. Morgana and Gwen find out about the magic. Arthur despairs. Merlin makes things as inconvenient as he can while having his magic restrained and used against him. Eventually, something has to give. It won't be him.

Summary
Merlin can't always use magic to protect Arthur and Camelot, so throughout Merlin's decade spent by Arthur's side, the knights of Camelot teach Merlin a thing or two about holding his own.
Or, 5 times a background knight teaches Merlin a different fighting skill, and the 1 time Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table find out (in the coolest way possible, of course).

Summary
A trap in the woods allows a meddling, mysterious stranger to render Arthur and the knights unconscious, leaving only Merlin and Lancelot alone. The two of them must complete 3 trials to get their friends back.
With Merlin's powers it should be a cinch, but unbeknownst to them, Arthur and the knights can see everything they're doing—and Lancelot has decided now is the best time to have a personal, in-depth conversation about Merlin's power and recklessness.

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.
*Story is complete apart from final editing and will be posted in full over the next few days. Currently clocking in at about 20k. Explicit in the fifth chapter.*
