Summary
Loneliness is an insidious thing. When Merlin looks at Arthur, he sees not just a prince waiting for his time to rule, but a young man struggling to find his place in the world, with little help from anyone else.
The truth is, Arthur needs more than the friendship Merlin can offer. He needs people he can trust: men and women who will become his court and his confidants, and if he is going to survive to take the throne and lead Camelot into its golden age, he needs them sooner rather than later.
Finding loopholes in Uther’s laws is no easy feat. Court life is a dangerous game, but it’s one Merlin has every intention of winning so that Arthur can have knights of his choosing by his side.
And then there is the matter of his magic…

Summary
He shouldn’t have done it.
Sleeping with his king — in the state Arthur was in that night.
The worst part is, he doesn’t even remember all of it.— Just enough.The kiss. Arthur’s mouth, warm against his own. The breathless moans pulled from his throat. The way it felt like he was drunk — but even without the potion that caused all of this, Merlin knew one touch from Arthur would make him feel like he'd spent two whole weeks drinking in the tavern.
And flashes of what came next.
Enough to know that this time, he truly fucked up.
So when he wakes, naked in his king’s bed, Merlin does the only thing he can — he grabs his clothes and runs.
He barely makes it to Gaius’s chambers, disheveled and panicked, only to find the old man already holding the book Merlin now realizes — far too late — he mistranslated.
And in that moment, it hits him. There is no undoing this.“Merlin,” Gaius says, voice low “pack your things. Go as far away as you can."
“You’re carrying His Majesty’s child.”Or
Arthur was being too much, and Merlin—a clumsy fool—mistranslated an ancient text and brewed a potion meant to calm His Majesty, only to end up pregnant with the king’s child instead.

Did I miss anything?”

Summary
The Knights of the Round Table all knew that Percival, Elyan, Lancelot, and Gwaine had rather complicated pasts; after all, they were the only commoners in Camelot’s knights. They knew that Lancelot’s village had burned down and always dreamed of becoming a knight, they knew everything about Elyan given that he was raised in Camelot, they knew that Percival was raised in Cenred’s kingdom until his village was slaughtered, and they knew that Gwaine had… was… Well they still didn’t know much about Gwaine.
They knew that Gwaine had been to almost every tavern in the lands, had a sister, and had traveled to the Perilous Lands at least once, maybe twice? Gwaine’s past was a mystery to all of them, even to Merlin, as much as he would rather not admit it. After returning from a patrol, they meet a woman who claimed to be Gwaine’s sister. If she was Gwaine’s sister though, why did he have no idea who she was?
