Summary
It started as it always does, with Gwaine opening his idiotic mouth and uttering the most idiotic combination of words known to man.
“The princess and his lover boy over here would know,”
.
In which Gwaine makes an accusation that Merlin quickly deflects, leading to Arthur eventually redefining their entire relationship and coming to terms with his inner turmoil with the (unwanted but ultimately appreciated) assisstance of their friends.

Summary
“I said,” Merlin enunciates, rolling his eyes. He gets a knee over Arthur’s thigh, pressing it into the mattress and fixing the perch of his glasses. “What’s wrong with my glasses?”
Arthur gapes at him, before dropping onto his pillow with a sigh as he stares up at the ceiling. What has this night come to? He was supposed to go over his report and then sleep. And then came Merlin, complaining about the fucking water pressure, dripping wet and smelling like that with his low slung pyjamas and utter lack of respect for Arthur’s sanity, taking over his mind and night. Arthur can’t have one second of peace.
.
Arthur notices Merlin smells nice. He then can’t stop noticing and nearly loses his mind about it.

Summary
Arthur does not need love. A prince is above such things. He does not need to be held, he needs only the embrace of armor on his skin as he trains to protect Camelot. He does not need friends, only allies to ensure his kingdoms future. These are the marks of a good leader.
That is what he tells himself, anyway.

Summary
"Let him think I hate him. If that’ll stop him from risking his neck for me over and over again, then it’s a sacrifice I don’t have to think twice about."
—
Arthur finds out Merlin has magic. He also finds out how often Merlin risked his life for him and so, he does the only thing he can think of to protect him: banishment.
Hurt and angry, Merlin leaves and swears to not look back.
But, when two years pass and Morgana shows up at Merlin’s door, urging him to fill Gaius’ position as Court Physician, Merlin agrees. He really doesn’t know why, but Arthur is sure Merlin would do just about anything to get on his nerves.
Unprepared for the shock of seeing Merlin back in the castle, Arthur is forced to speed along his plans to lift the ban on magic. But between stubborn councilors, a mysterious plague, a still angry Merlin, and Morgana being Morgana, Arthur is fairly certain he’ll lose his mind before the first year of his reign even ends.
