Summary
"Identity fraud?"
"Uh...yes?"
Gwaine grinned. "I'm in."---
Instead of Lancelot, Gwaine shows up and kills the griffin. Not wanting to mess with nobles, he lies about his heritage to avoid getting knighted.
Merlin still doesn't see a problem. -

Summary
Gwaine can’t stay in Camelot a second longer.
As soon as he manages to stand up on his own two feet, he’s gone. He leaves in the dead of night, with nothing but a note as goodbye.
He rides for as long as his body can physically endure before he needs to stop to throw up from the pain, force some water down his throat and keep going. And going. And going. The sun rises and sets and rises again, but Gwaine doesn’t dare stop.
He only has the vaguest idea about where he’s going, something Merlin mentioned once about where he might go if he were to leave Camelot which, of course, at the time they thought would never happen. Something about a lake by the mountains.
Gwaine’s well aware that there’s every chance that even if he finds the lake he’s looking for and even if that was, in fact, the lake Merlin meant, Merlin and Lancelot might still not be there. If they’re smart, they won’t be there. Or anywhere else Gwaine would know to look.
But still, he goes on. If he can’t find his friends, he’ll just return to the life of the wanderer.
The only place he can’t go is back.

Summary
When the attempt at healing Uther backfires and kills him instead—thereby reinforcing Arthur’s hatred of magic—Merlin decides that the time has come to give up on destiny and leave Camelot before he can make things even worse. After giving up his magic so that it might guard the citadel in his absence, he sets out for Ealdor for some much-needed rest. He is pleasantly surprised when Gwaine rides out after him to escort him on the journey. The question is why…

Summary
It's not that Gwaine's complaining, not really, because this is definitely the friendliest conclusion he's ever seen to a kidnapping. It's way better than torture and starvation followed by either a dramatic rescue or his untimely demise, but yeah, being knocked unconscious, tied up in a shack, having gibberish chanted at him and then being let go again is very definitely strange.
Or: Gwaine gets kidnapped and cursed by an evil sorcerer, but it's okay because Percival still really likes him.
