    Summary

    Arthur wasn’t sure what this charm would do, if anything, but he’d held it in his hands, and he’d pressed it to his lips, and he’d willed all of his strength and protection and fervent desire for Merlin to be okay into the metal.

     

    He’d broken his father’s laws for Merlin, Uther’s one cardinal rule, and that had to count for something. Arthur just wasn’t sure what.

     

    Arthur notices the cuts and bruises on Merlin’s skin and assumes the worst. Out of options, he turns to magic for help.

    Summary

    A week before the winter solstice, Arthur goes on a quest to kill a beast: a shapeshifter with siren-like abilities.

    He makes it clear he does NOT want Merlin to come along, but Merlin's never been very good at doing what he's told...

    Prompted by the meme:
    "Dude, why did the siren take on my image and try to lure you, is there something you want to tell me?"

    Summary

    Camelot is a lot bigger than the letter suggested it to be.
    The buildings here tower at three stories tall, sometimes even four, and that’s only in the lower town. The battlements alone leave trailing shadows over the roads, the stone and brick laid down who-knows how long ago.

    Merlin clutches Gaius’ letter close, looking down every now and then to recheck the directions. The roads are winding and narrow with more than a few dead-ends.
    His offer hangs just under the directions:

    "Mentor under me and I can teach you the control you seek – a physician’s apprentice is a noble trade not many young men have the opportunity to undertake. Do you understand?"

    Merlin didn’t understand at first, not until Hunith pressed a set of Will’s old clothes into confused hands. As tough as it is for a sheltered boy to saunter into a new city to take a position under an esteemed healer – not even considering the illegalities of the implied additional tutelage – it would be an impossibility for even the most headstrong of women.

    Summary

    After a terrible battle against King Lot's army, leading to his disastrous magic reveal, Merlin is captured by the enemy's side.

    It has been years since that day, and much has changed. But stuck between four walls and used as a fighter for entertainment, Merlin has no way to find out how much and what.

    His only hope is for his former friend to come and rescue him, but with each passing day, this hope fades a bit more.

    Will Arthur save his manservant, or let ignorance and hurt cloud his better judgment?

Locked in the place where his nightmares come to life, Merlin can only hope the king of Camelot can save him before he loses his mind, and himself, in the process.
