Summary
'The damage seemed to spread out from him like ripples on a pond, and it felt like a gift, like a blessed reprieve to find something that affected only him. The hunger was the one choice he could make that hurt no one, endangered no one, nudged no prophecies with clumsy elbows. Besides, having a secret was nothing new. The revelation was having one that didn’t matter.'
Merlin doesn’t eat properly, but he doesn't think it's a problem. Arthur disagrees.
(Scenes on a theme, before, during and after Arthur finds out.)

Summary
He accepted the call. “Mike, I swear to God if you don’t stop fuc—”
"Harvey.”
The sound of Mike’s voice, the desperate, sickening whimper, was enough for Harvey’s mouth to snap shut with an audible clack. He would know Mike in a dark room by his breaths alone, he was sure; he’d heard his name uttered from those lips in all manners of emotion, had imagined his name whispered from those lips more times than he cared to admit. But this certainly wasn’t that, and in no scenario, imagined or otherwise, had Mike’s voice sounded so broken. He detested the way his name was slurred over Mike’s tongue, the ‘e’ elongated and sounding like it took much more energy than it ever should have to force out the syllable.
or:
During the season 2/3 Mike and Harvey divorce era, Mike gets himself roofied in a bar, and all Harvey has is the sound of his voice on the other end of a phone call he nearly didn't pick up as he races towards him.

Summary
In pursuit of a sorcerer, Arthur and his knights stumbled into a cave. As the ceiling collapsed on them, Merlin had no choice except to reveal his magic or let all his friends die. That choice was not a choice at all.
As Merlin's magic began to run out and tensions with the knights run high, it seemed he might have made the wrong choice after all.

Summary
Arthur wishes he could climb inside of Merlin’s ribs, let him be held by the soul of his beloved in their final resting place. Here in the cradle of devotion shall he decompose. When they are one with the earth again, let the tombstone lament the piety of a king to his sorcerer.
"Here," it would read, "lies the feeble prince and his titan." Here, among the strewn about bodies of their enemies and the knotted roots of the woods, they would stay.
Or, Merlin is felled by a bandit and Arthur falls apart.

Summary
Merlin knew what a Sigil represented; a concept he had been introduced to shortly after arriving in Camelot. A marriage proposal of the deepest and most romantic kind, a callback to the traditions of old – for those who appreciated such things.
As such, Arthur’s message was clear.
Keep it safe for my future bride.
And, well, he could do that. No matter what it took.

Summary
Merlin can’t remember the last time he’s locked his bedroom door, if ever. But he chooses not to think about it. He merely sulks his way back to his bed, taking a moment to contemplate taking off his trousers and tunic from the night before. He decides not to think about that either.
Instead, he decides not to think at all. He just falls back into his bed, covers up his body more so in shame than for warmth, and closes his eyes.
Basically Merlin is sexually assaulted and this story follows how he and everyone else deals with it.
Spoiler alert: THEY DON'T HANDLE IT WELL.
