Summary
“You’re not going to kill Arthur. For one, Gaius and I won’t let you. And for two...” Gwen cracked a smile. “...you’re honestly the worst assassin I’ve ever seen.”
Merlin didn’t smile back, only managing to look even more haunted than before. “Right.”
Quietly, Gwen pressed, “There’s something you’re not telling me, isn’t there?”
Merlin doesn’t find the Fomorroh in Morgana’s hut. Worse, the severed head wriggling around in his neck has discovered his magic, which means it’s only a matter of time before one of his assassination attempts succeeds. Luckily for him, Gwen has no intention of letting him deal with this alone.

Summary
After Gwen is banished from Camelot, Merlin tries to support her from afar by sabotaging Arthur's courting efforts--a feat that proves far more complicated than he anticipated for a few key reasons:
1) To Merlin's bewilderment, he seems to be the one doing all of the courting. Again.
2) Mithian is perfect. Absolutely perfect. Which makes it very hard to sabotage her.
3) There's the slightest chance that Merlin is falling in love with her. Maybe. Possibly. It's probably nothing.

Summary
The trees above him are hissing a warning when he shakes from his stupor.
It hadn’t been long. He didn’t think so, anyways. There were no webs on his jacket and no moss at his boots. The distant calls of horns and shouts barrel closer. He blinks and becomes the pointed tusk of a boar. Breathes and is the pummeling rush of horse hooves. A second and now wrapped inside flesh again with wilting petals in his hand.
All at once, a hunt is around him.
A boar charges, skidding around, screaming as dogs latch on its ankles. There’s shouts and confusion and he cannot think to move. It’s not his instinct to avoid danger.
Then a hand is under his arm, pulling him up and back—he drops the flowers—even as a spear is thrust unevenly forward and gives an ugly gash to the creature’s side. There’s noise and wind and the boar is taken through the side. It dies roughly.
He slowly eases himself out of the man’s hand, turning to see bright eyes and golden hair and a face younger than the one he wears.

Summary
Since finding out Merlin's greatest secret, Arthur has had a lot of questions. Some are sillier than others. Why, exactly, does everyone think a sorcerer should be an ominous figure in robes, and what does that have to do with the fact that Merlin loathes the more public side of his new job?

Summary
In a world where Uther went mad right after Ygraine's death, Lord Chancellor Agravaine has been reigning Camelot from the shadows for nearly two decades. Arthur, who has little influence at court, is tired of being watched, controlled and manipulated by his uncle. Quick to anger and weighed down by a feeling of profound powerlessness, he shirks his princely duties, torments his servants and acts like a prat. That is, until the arrival of an insolent country boy sets into motion a series of events that might very well turn out to be the key to freeing Camelot from Agravaine's control...
features: Agravaine scheming, Merlin suffering, Arthur plotting, and things being different from canon
