Summary
Sir Leon discovers Merlin's magic and suddenly has a second full-time job trying to keep the boy alive! It really shouldn't be this hard...
Merlin, in the throes of poppy juice and a need to keep Arthur away from the sidhe, kills the sidhe using magic in front of a lord and knight of the realm. At least he now has an ally in keeping the prince alive...

Break the Cutie - aka: When a sweet and loveable character, who you adore and root for, is slowly tormented in front of your very eyes. And well, Merlin is awfully cute after all... :)
Long story short, I’ve set myself a little challenge to write a fic for every single episode of Merlin. 65 episodes means 65 opportunities to hurt my favourite character because who doesn't love some good ol' whumpy angst! (I’m definitely going to regret this decision but I’m determined to complete them all.)
(These are all standalone fics!)

Camelot is putting on a play!
Leon was found by his friends telling a story at a servants party and have been trying to get him to perform for ages so Arthur convinces him to put on a play with some of the servants' children as actors.
This is pure crack coming from another idea I probably will never write. -

Summary
“My Lord we have found the thief.” Catrina stated boldly as the guards dropped Merlin at the King’s feet. The few knights and council members already at work at this early hour halted their conversations to watch on quietly.
Merlin groaned as he pushed himself onto his knees, whole body swaying slightly as one hand came up to clasp his head and Arthur had to force himself not to step forward and help. It would do Merlin no good to have him interrupt now that they were here. He'd let his father have his say and then do what he could to persuade him against whatever punishment was about to befall his servant.

Summary
Getting thrown into a wall hurt.
At least, that’s what Merlin’s bruised brain registered as he attempted to blink his eyes open. He wasn’t sure how long he had been out, but as the world fell back into focus he noticed that Jonas was nowhere to be seen and the noise from the great hall was getting louder.
He scrambled to get his feet under him as the doors swung open to reveal the sea of wedding guests, all eager to catch the afternoon sun after the honour of witnessing the royal ceremony. Clasping one hand to his head and the other against the wall, he squeezed his eyes shut, unsure of what was louder; the joyful chatter of the crowd or the relentless beat drumming against his skull.
