Summary
Merlin only meant to light a candle and check on the prince. He didn’t expect to find Arthur disheveled and distressed. Of course, Arthur being Arthur, his pride won’t let him admit he needs anything — least of all company. Good thing Merlin is just as stubborn as him, as well as patient and understanding.
aka, Arthur is hurting and in need of a hug and Merlin is trying to be there for him.

Summary
Lancelot raised an eyebrow. “And what will you offer, then?”
“Me?” Merlin pretended to consider it. “Perhaps my old cloak. So it stops smelling like the stables. Or perhaps those official servant robes, so they'll burn as they always should have.”

“So, you are new here, is that correct?”
Gwaine looked around, frowning when he realised he was in some strange place.
“Someone named L brought me here.” Gwaine muttered. “Is it normal?”The agent raised one eyebrow. “What is normal?”
“Calling people with the first letter of the name, instead of using the whole name.” Gwaine answered. “Isn't that extremely stupid?”

Summary
It’s been over a year and a half since Arthur died. Or, more accurately, woke up. Technically, he dies in eight and a half years. Well, if he messes up, that is, and he is determined not to.
But Arthur feels the grip of the king tightening with every passing day. Morgana’s magic grows under a father that would not accept it. And if his growing attachment to Guinevere would only bring more harm to her than good, then it should be best to let her go.
Merlin, of course, is of no help while Arthur continues to keep the secret of his resurrection. But should Merlin find out, he fears that his friend will be too young to understand his actions.
So Arthur waits. For it is written that the Once and Future King will take his throne. He only has to decide when.

Day Twenty-Two: Bleeding Through (+Reopening Wounds, "Oh that's not good")
Some of his knights stayed in defensive positions even as their opponents retreated from the battlefield, but there were five in particular who sprinted after Arthur. As their king knelt beside the broken form of his best friend, blind to everything except the sight of Merlin still breathing, it was one of these five who muttered, "Oh, that's not good."
