Summary
Uther, King of Camelot and father to Arthur Pendragon, was in mortal peril.
This, in itself, was not news; Uther, by dint of a recalcitrant, bloodthirsty personality backed by military power and an unshakable belief in the Divine Right of Kings, had made a great deal of enemies in his day, and, in truth, made new ones almost daily.
But this time was different, in that it was entirely Arthur’s fault.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OrAfter Arthur accidentally puts his father's life in jeopardy, he must ride out of Camelot, with Merlin at his side, on a journey with no real end goal in sight

Summary
In which Gwaine finally realizes that Merlin has never had a day off and hatches a brilliant plan: Step One, get Merlin liquor'd up so he won't protest The Plan; Step Two, fake a kidnapping and a ransom note that will force Arthur and the rest of Camelot's nobles to treat their servants better, and Step Three, return Merlin to Arthur once he's done, with no one the wiser and everyone happier.
Unfortunately, Gwaine's plans have never once worked out the way he thought they would, and things just sort of fall apart from there.

Summary
Jaskier has long been estranged from his family. They’re far too obsessed with money and power for Jaskier’s tastes, and he grew tired of listening to them mock his lack of both.

He hasn’t found it yet, but he’s certain he’ll know it when he sees it.
When that day comes, his hoard will be the envy of the Continent.

Summary
It becomes a habit to keep an eye on the front door every Wednesday. Jaskier told him after the second week that he tries to grab the flowers on his lunch break. It’s how he found the shop in the first place.
“I tutor a kid near here,” he tells Eskel as he watches the florist trim the thorns off some David Austen roses. “He’s a menace, but his mom wants him to learn piano and is willing to pay for all the grey hairs I’m getting.”
“You play piano?”
“And a few other instruments. My favorite is the lute.”
Eskel grins a little. “A lute? Do you moonlight as a bard too?”
___________________________Or, a florist AU with enough misunderstandings and pining to fill an entire season of a CW show.
