    Summary

    'What happened to you?'

    Merlin grimaced. He must look worse than he realised for Arthur to sound like that: genuinely aghast, as if he thought Merlin might collapse at any moment. It wasn't that bad. He'd wiped the worst of the mud and blood off.

    'Gaius needed herbs.'


    Sometimes all it take is a little tender loving care to shift the balance of friendship into something more.

    Summary

    Merlin hates it when there are visiting nobles in Camelot.

    He hates the frantic scrubbing that starts days before their arrival—servants on hands and knees polishing stones no one will think to look at, tapestries beaten free of dust that will settle again by morning, silverware counted and recounted as though a missing spoon might spark a war.

    He hates the way the castle stops feeling like home.

    And he especially hates Arthur during these visits.

    Summary

    Arthur caught his sorcerer’s eye again. “If Emrys did have a simple, human identity, you wouldn’t have any suspicion who it could be, at all?”
    “I wouldn't, I’m afraid.” Merlin shrugged one shoulder, seeming somewhat defeated. “I’ll look into it.”
    Once, years ago, Arthur had been sure he could tell when Merlin was lying through his teeth. How frustrating it was to know that couldn’t be further from the truth.

    Or: In a fixed-it post-canon, word begins to get out about the godlike sorcerer Emrys who will aid the Once and Future King to unite all of Albion. This, of course, results in all the leaders of Albion beginning their attempts to win the elusive Emrys’ favor, in order to be chosen as his prophesied King.
    Even as his Court Sorcerer, Merlin lives to antagonize Arthur and decides to inform the world -as Emrys- that he has already chosen his King, in a... less-than-conventional way.

    (Can be read standalone from the series.)

    Summary

    “You have made both wars possible, son. You have made me proud over and over again.” His voice quiets. Cracks, unexpectedly. “You will come home to me eventually, Nico. There is nothing more you need to do in the middle but live. Do and go where you please. Find happiness.”

    OR: In the aftermath of a war, Nico finds himself welcomed home.

    Summary

    Really, Ford wasn't sure how he hadn't noticed sooner.

    A seemingly innocent inquiry leads Ford to crack open a whole section of trauma he hadn't even known about, and. . . wow. It's a lot.
