Summary
Merlin still had Arthur’s mother sigil. The Dorocha had been defeated, neither Arthur nor Merlin was dead and yet Merlin still had it. Which was definitely wrong.
He knew he had to return it to its rightful owner, but he had not found the right moment.

Words can't quite convey the utter loveliness of this fic.

Summary
Merlin has one of his funny feelings before a trip to Alined's kingdom, and as usual Arthur should have listened to him. Alined's invitation turns out to be a trap to kidnap Merlin and use him as a bargaining chip, knowing that Arthur would do anything to keep him safe.
To try to save Merlin, Arthur pretends he doesn't really care about him, and when Alined takes him away anyway, Arthur feels terribly guilty. Being unable to bear the thought that those may be the last words Merlin ever heard from him, Arthur joins Gwaine on a risky rescue mission.
Will he be able to save Merlin and tell him how much he really means to him?

Summary
“Your highness.” Percival puffs out his chest with all the respect he can muster giving the circumstances, because he knows that spying on the prince’s servant as he bathes does not really leave any good impressions. “It seems your servant takes well to remote sites, I do not know if it is brave or plain stupidity.”

Summary
‘You know, I’m going to be fighting them tomorrow,’ Arthur says, ‘and believe me, they will pay dearly for this.’ He touches Merlin’s sore shoulder, brief and gentle. ‘As your champion, Merlin, it’s only fitting that I should wear your token, don’t you think?’
He looks at Merlin, softly smiling, teasing, and Merlin’s cheeks are burning like fire and he can't hold Arthur's gaze.

Summary
Uther was having a nice day, until some sorcerer ruined it.
Oh, I see where you're confused. No, he doesn't mean the sorcerer who stormed into the throne room and broke his favourite window. He means his son's idiot manservant who's making it really hard for Uther to feign ignorance regarding the fact that the boy obviously has magic.
Uther's POV of Deliberate Disregard

Summary
It's been nine days since Merlin saved Camelot and the ban on magic was lifted. It's been little over a week and Merlin already needs Arthur to get him out of trouble. But the trouble is nothing like Arthur expected.
"“You should all be ashamed of yourselves!.. Did you forget that not even a fortnight ago, this man stood alone against the witch Morgana to protect you? To protect a people that have persecuted and butchered his people for years?.. He was willing to lay down his life for you and this is how you repay him?.. If this is what Camelot does to her allies then god help her enemies... I expected better!” He softened his voice now, and sadness leaked in, “I suppose I expected to much.”"

Summary
Maybe it was the fact that it had never happened before. Maybe it was the adrenaline rush of the moment, that he didn’t see it coming. Maybe he was too preoccupied simultaneously saving his friends and hiding from them, that he hadn’t given it a second thought before he’s using his magic to rip the branch from a high treetop.
The second he does, though, he hears it.
OR some feel-good Merlin drabble I wanted to share.
