Summary
At some point, not entirely clear when, amongst the cacophony of trumpets, laughter, and cheers, and the sleet of golden confetti, Mycroft recognises two separate but altogether equal facts—
Catherine Walsh has a propensity to remain inconspicuous when she does not want to be seen.
And, try as he might, he has only found her in the midst of a crowd when she wishes to leave a lasting impression upon him. Today appears to be one such day.
Or, Mycroft involuntarily reunites with an old love during the unfortunate case of the Holmes family.

Summary
He was first struck by the absolute nothingness James gave off. Not because he seemed to actively be trying to hide himself, but because Sherlock just couldn’t get a cohesive read on him.
The second thing that struck Sherlock was that he found his sister’s new boyfriend annoyingly attractive.
Or
When Beatrice brings her new boyfriend home, Sherlock has a hard time not falling for him (and fails spectacularly).

Summary
Nimueh warned that using magic to conceive a child would have consequences. Uther thought that Ygraine's death was consequence enough, but apparently not, seeing as Arthur seems to have developed magic.
Or: Uther is having a horrible day, Arthur discovers the power of teenage rebellion despite not being a teenager, Morgana gets the support she needs, and somehow, no one notices Merlin sweating in the corner.

Summary
Arthur Pendragon was ten years old when he first realized that he had never received a hug. He was fifteen years old when he noticed that even though he was training with the knights almost every day, he wasn’t one of the knights. He was twenty years old when his father decided that a scrawny boy with two left feet was to work as his personal servant. And although Merlin continued to cross every imaginable line between servant and prince, he never touched him.
Arthur Pendragon was twenty-five years old when he first got drunk enough to complain about it all.

Summary
When will Merlin cease this nonsense? He has mastered the impossible: dragging Arthur feet first down the stairs of Camelot’s class structure until he’d tasted the dirt his poorest people slept on, while still managing to always put Arthur first. It is a contradiction, a contrast Arthur cannot rationalize. But damn it all, he wishes Merlin might try putting himself first for once. If not for Merlin’s own happiness, or their friendship which is the most precious thing Arthur has ever been trusted with, then for the hope-cum-desire that Merlin might one day return his romantic feelings not out of obligation but out of want.
Merlin serves. Serves looks, serves dungeon time, and serves Arthur.

Summary
“I didn’t know!” Merlin’s voice rises in pitch now to match Arthur’s. “I didn’t know what you would do, not at first—”
“And what about after I helped you get the druid boy out of the castle? Hmm?”
Arthur has Merlin there, or at least he thinks he does. Certainly, Merlin deflates a bit, and the strange, heavy atmosphere that had settled over them seems to lighten slightly. But the next words out of Merlin’s mouth are, “So I was supposed to just let you make me leave too? I couldn’t do that, Arthur, I wouldn’t. Not then, not ever.”
“I wouldn’t have sent you away,” Arthur protests before he can think better of it. He’s struggling to hold onto the anger, the betrayal, but in the face of Merlin’s own evident pain, his overwhelming instinct is to make it go away. “I would have never sent you away, Merlin!”
“Why not?” Merlin demands.
“Don’t—” Arthur swallows hard. “Don’t pretend you don’t know,” he goes on, barely more than a whisper. “Not now.”
--
In which Arthur finds discovers Merlin's magic due to Merlin's own bleeding heart, they acknowledge the bond they share, and Arthur realizes that he never had to know about Merlin's magic to truly know him anyway.
