Summary
Arthur woke up. This was a shock since he last remembered a sword being pushed through his stomach.
(Arthur experiences a time loop after a noble successfully kills him. Anytime he dies, he wakes up the morning of the arrival of his would-be murderer. As the loops continue, the secrets he learns begin to stack up, and there's enough to shatter what he believes about his family, his life, who he loves, and what his duty is to Camelot. Here's to hoping he can uncover each lie before the weight of them crush him.)

Summary
Arthur is cursed to obey Merlin’s orders.
Obviously this has very little impact on their lives, since no servant would ever dare give orders to a prince.

Arthur wasn't meant to see Merlin's magic in the last moments of battle, but he did.
Merlin wasn't meant to take the arrow fired at Arthur, but he did.
Maybe they can find the truth in all of it. Maybe not.

Summary
Arthur lost the bet. He lost, and he's not even mad about it. Merlin's changed him forever, irreversibly, over the course of one night- but Merlin himself seems just the same as always. Did it mean anything to Merlin, or was it just a night of fun to prove a point and wipe the smirk off his prince's face? Will Arthur ever get to return the favour?
Well, there's only one thing for it. Arthur's just going to have to ask.~This is a direct sequel to the first fic in this series, so head on over and read that first.~

Summary
“Where did you learn to do that?” Gwaine asked, following Merlin up the bank.
“This is how normal people fish,” Merlin replied dryly. “Not trying to stab them with swords.”“This is a knife,” Gwaine retorted, sounding every bit as sulky as he felt.
“Still, you didn’t catch a fish.”
------------------------------------------------------Gwaine saves a young Merlin from a beating and ends up with a new little brother to take care of on his travels.
Or, what would Merlin be like if he had Gwaine influencing him over his formative years?

Summary
Aithusa is captured by King Sarrum. In order to make sure the dragon is secure and the realm therefore safe, Arthur gathers a delegation to visit the Kingdom Amata. Merlin, however, breaks as he sees the state his daughter is in. And suddenly, secrets are no longer relevant.
Excerpt:
His teary eyes scanned all over her body, finding it worse than what Sarrum had described. Her claws were twitching and bleeding on the dirty ground. There was no water in sight and she looked thirsty while her eyes looked milky and unseeing. Yet, she seemed to recognise him somehow. For a moment, her gaze cleared and she nuzzled her forehead against Merlin’s. Cuts among her side, red coloring her white scaled bloody.“Merlin, what the hell are you doing! Come back here! NOW! It will eat you!”
But Merlin’s glare found only Sarrum’s who seemed more confused than anything. And that look, that innocence feigning, pleased expression, blinded Merlin with pure, unaltered rage. “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER!”
