    Summary

    “Run!” Merlin's voice cracked.

    The man sheathed his sword and ran to Merlin, giving him a quick glance over.

    “Are you alright?”

    “Yes! We have to run!”

    The creature was screeching up a storm behind them as they booked it through the trees until they thought they were probably far away enough that it hadn’t chased them. Merlin cared less about the distance and was just grateful they had stopped because his lungs were burning. Arthur was right, he thought ruefully. He did need to work on his stamina.

    Once he caught his breath again, he studied his new companion. This man had to have been either very stupid or very brave to try and save him from whatever that creature was back there. He was much less affected by the running than Merlin was. He had curly, brown hair, tanned skin and was wearing trousers and a loose, grey coloured t-shirt. His belt had a spot for him to put his naked sword. He held out his hand.

    “Nice to meet you. I’m Lancelot.”

    Summary

    Arthur died. He knows that. Arthur woke back up. He knew that, too. Except he woke up ten years ago, his time, which was only a year ago, now. Arthur's still trying to get his head wrapped around that one.

    Still, it appears to all be going according to plan. Or, it would be, if Merlin wasn't such an ass, Arthur could stop dreaming about Gwen, and Morgana could stop yelling at him for *one second.*

    When all is said and done, however, Arthur was more than willing to face those obstacles. His Knights were a different story.

    Summary

    “And what of your son?” Arthur pressed. “He must want you in his life!”

    “I know he does,” Balinor sighed, expression odd and unreadable to Arthur, “but I missed the chance to be a father to him long ago. He is a grown man now, and I am no fit father in any case.”

    “You would be better than many!” Arthur scoffed, not realizing the emotion hiding in his words until they had left his lips. He screwed his mouth shut and glared at the table, feeling Balinor’s gaze heavy on him, weighed further by the realization that he was comparing the dragonlord to the king.

    ------------

    Balinor did not die, and despite everything, the dragonlord's company begins to grow on Arthur.

    Summary

    “...I think there’s something wrong with me,” he whispers. “I have an…affliction.”
    Merlin’s eyebrows raise, mouth opening and closing all at once. “You—you have an affliction? Have you…been to see Gaius lately?”

     

    -

    Arthur's turned up in Ealdor, prepared to help the village fight off Kanen and his men, much to Merlin's delight. But there's something about an excursion away from Camelot, away from his knights and guards and Uther, that loosens his tongue around Merlin that first night.

    Summary

    “Did you hate my father?”
    “What?”
    “Did you hate him?” Arthur said. “Come on, Merlin. You’re a sorcerer, aren’t you?”

    Following the revelation that Merlin is a sorcerer, he and Arthur have come to a temporary agreement that Merlin may use magic in secret—but only with Arthur’s express permission. While Merlin is eager for the chance to prove himself, Arthur is wary. The opportunity to consult his father’s spirit forces Arthur’s resolve—and the fragile peace of their friendship—into question.

    Summary

    Summary

    Two years after escaping Dutch's wrath, Arthur didn't find his white picket fence. In fact, he might be in an even slummier place than he was with Dutch, fighting for his life and dependent on substances he had scoffed at when he was younger. Things take a turn when The Underground is raided, and Arthur is faced with yet another choice.

    Summary

    Arthur has wanted love for as long as he can remember. His childhood was full of shame; shame for asking and shame for wanting. Merlin comes along and challenges everything he's been taught.
    -----
    He never stopped wanting. But he did stop begging, stop asking. It was wrong; distasteful. Good boys did not ask for love, they earned glimpses of it in nods of the head and the rare ‘good job,' only when earned.
