Summary
The man blinked at him. Then, he laughed again. So, Dragoon did as he did best, he improvised with absolute chaos.
“I—what the…did you just throw the bread at me?” the man roared, very clearly trying to get a crumb or two out of his eyes, where Merlin had tossed the thing.
“I need to know where a certain valuable belonging to the Pendragon household is.”
“Wha—” the man began, though stopped when he saw Dragoon holding another piece of bread. “Don’t throw that at me again, you deranged old man!”
Merlin disguising himself as Dragoon the Great is as chaotic as it's always been, and poor Gaius is sick and tired of it. Merlin's having a blast, though.

Summary
At first, it wasn’t a problem. At first, it was just a weight on his chest that made it slightly harder to smile.
Then it got just a little bit heavier, making small tasks harder to do.
It wasn’t the first time he felt it, so he paid no heed and went on with his days. He woke up bright and early, got Arthur’s breakfast prepared, did his rounds for Gaius, cleaned the king’s bedroom, scribed his speeches, laundered his clothes, polished his suit, sharpened his sword, saved Camelot from yet another attack—
He did everything according to a perfect routine, from sunup to sundown.
Until one day… he stopped.

When grief finally tears a seam in time, he falls back into Camelot on the first day of his destiny. This time Merlin is smarter, quiet where he must be, ruthless where it counts, and determined to change fate for his golden-haired king.
“That’s not very knightly of you, darling,” he called, voice lazy as a cat sunning on a sill.
Arthur turned. Blue eyes, quick and keen and infuriatingly curious, flicked over him. “Excuse me?”
“Using a servant as a moving target.” Merlin tipped his head toward the boy trotting in a circle, the shield clattering against his spine. “It’s crude. If you wanted to show off, you could have asked me to watch. I make an excellent audience.
A squire choked. The boy stumbled to a grateful halt.
Arthur’s mouth flattened into the princely version of a smile’s shadow. “Do you know who you’re talking to?”
“Handsome, overconfident, dangerously good with his hands,” Merlin said. “Likes knives more than apologies. I’ve met your type.”A.k.a Merlin fixes destiny with flirting,

Not in secret, not under cover of night, but at midday, across the open courtyard, where every servant and knight and noble could see.
—
Merlin’s arrest sets Camelot on edge, and Arthur at war with himself. To his people, it is simple: sorcery is treason. But Arthur sees more than chains and confessions — he sees a friend, a servant, a man who has risked everything for him. Now he must choose what matters more: the laws he swore to uphold, or the truth of the one who has never left his side.

Summary
Merlin really didn’t understand why Arthur kept assigning him more guards. He was Camelot’s Court Sorcerer and, oh you know, the strongest warlock to ever live. He really didn’t need the protection, but his stupid overly protective husband just refused to see reason. Though maybe all the trouble Merlin got into every time he left the castle wasn’t helping his argument.
Or the 5 times Arthur adds a new guard to Merlin’s protection detail and the 1 time Merlin does something about it!
