A Matter of Loyalty by Noraneko94 reviews
Arthur wakes up in the forest with a headache and more questions than answers. How did he end up here? And why can't Merlin just let him sleep?

No slash, rated T cause I'm paranoid.

He would die for Arthur, but he would not die at Arthur's hand. He escapes. And for two years, Arthur cannot find him. He searches and searches until finally a lead. Merlin had learned and grown and is not the man he once was. But magic is magic, and Merlin is magic, and that is what Arthur needs. Roughly canon compliant, but also canon-divergent. AU of Merlin's powers.
