1Darkness Like a Second Skin » by
VikingSong
Merlin had expected the Dorocha to kill him; he never considered that the voices of the dead might demand something far worse. As a dead foe lies through Merlin's teeth, compounding Merlin's own lies, Merlin's friendships crack and crumble around him. Perhaps the only way to battle the vengeful, icy darkness within is to shed his lies and step into the light. (See Ch1 notes for TW)

dragon's breath by
AGirlByAnyOtherName
Merlin clamped his eyes shut as the immense heat washed overhead. He could practically feel the flames licking his skin. As Arthur's chainmail clad arm pressed against his side, it registered somewhere in the back of his mind that, unlike the knights, he was only protected by a thin layer of cloth. (Set in s02e13. Merlin almost comes out of Kilgharrah's attack unscathed.)

Familiarly strange by

"Merlin, you do realise that there are more comfortable places to hide from your chores, right?", Arthur asked. "Yes." "Good", he replied, trying and failing to shift into a position that would stop his back from hurting quite so much, "just checking." Merlin was a very strange person indeed.

Arthur meant to reach out to him, check him for injuries, but halted in his tracks when, for the first time, he noticed that it was a small girl that was cradled in Merlin's arms. "Merlin, who is this?" Merlin's grip around the child tightened, as though he feared she'd be taken from him. "She's mine," he said hoarsely. "Her name is Aithusa."

Arthur's heart was in his throat as he carefully made his way over, praying that at least one of his men was still alive. (Set in s02e12. Merlin doesn't quite remember to get out of the way in time after causing the ceiling to collapse.)
