Looking for a specific fic where Merlin saves Arthur from getting stung by a serket

Hi all! I have scoured AO3 and cannot find this specific fic. I thought I had bookmarked it, apparently not...

I can't remember exactly but the gist is that Arthur, Merlin and the Knights are outside the city in the woods and have taken refuge in a cave for the night. They're chilling and having a laugh when Merlin (in Arthur's POV) suddenly raises up with golden eyes directly at Arthur and Arthur basically just accepts he's gonna die by Merlin, the sorcerer.

Turns out Merlin was just dealing with the serket that had snuck up on them and was seconds away from killing Arthur. He basically freaks out and rubs the lower area of Arthur's back (exactly where Merlin got stung all that time ago) and repeats 'it didn't get you, it didn't get you' over and over or smth along those lines.

It's a magic reveal fic and has a happy ending as no one dies and Merlin is now known. Anyone know which this fic is? I'm going crazy trying to find it, was a one shot I believe.

Thank you so much in advance 🥹

Edit: Fic has been found!! You're okay (I'm not) by Merlinfirstlastalways Thank you so much!
