Do You Recall, Long Ago by JessieJay13 reviews
It was bad enough that Merlin woke up in a field out of town missing months' worth of his memories, but it was worse coming back to find his best friend couldn't stand him anymore and no one knew why. Reconciling with Arthur would be easier if things were simple, but things in his life rarely are. Regaining his memories only makes things more difficult - and more dangerous.

He didn't know how long he held this connection, pouring his magic into Arthur's body and soul, but when he next looked down, Arthur's wound was completely gone. Finally, gasping, Merlin wrenched his hands away from Arthur, whose eyes flew open. They were glowing gold. (T for some gore.)

Calculated Fury by Sydelle Rein reviews
Fury destroys lives. It clouds judgement, ruins friendships, and can make a person do horrible things he may regret for the rest of his life. Merlin was always taught to control his temper, and taught never to enrage anyone else if he could help it. But this time, fury was the only tool he had to save his king. Whatever it took, he would save Arthur.
