    Summary

    "Did you bring me flowers, Merlin?"

    "Uh, no?”

    Arthur gestured to a spot on the table behind him. “What’s that, then?”

    Merlin slowly twisted around to see what he was pointing at, dread curling in his gut. Primly placed on the tabletop was a bouquet of red roses.

    “Er, someone else must have left them there. I have no idea where they came from,” Merlin lied awkwardly.

    As if on cue, a rose fell out of his jacket pocket and Merlin's stomach dropped a thousand feet beneath the ground.

    OR

    It's Yuletide, the newly appointed Court Sorcerer of Camelot is pining and his magic decides to do something about it.

    Summary

    “Remember how I said that wasn't the worst bit? I didn’t mean that it was magic. I meant what kind of magic. I think it's some kind of love spell.”

    “Well how would you know?” Arthur demanded.

    “Because, you know, I poke round in the library, I see things--”

    “You snoop, is what you mean.”

    “--and Gaius and I are always having to clean up after you lot when you piss off some sorcerer. So. I’m pretty sure. It's. Erm. The cave requires--an offering.”

    “Like a sacrifice?” Arthur asked, sounding incredibly pleased to offer it.

    “Not that kind of sacrifice.”

    “Then what.”

    “Like. Just. You know. An offering. Of love.”

    “Like what? I don't run you through with my sword? Because not stabbing you right now would be an act of incredible goodwill.”

    “Well,” Merlin said, coughing rather delicately. “Actually. More like. You do run me through with a sword. Or at least someone gets run through with a sword. A ‘sword.’ If you know what I mean.”

    In which Merlin and Arthur get trapped in a magical cave.

When a witch takes it upon herself to speed this along and puts a curse on Merlin that requires True Love’s kiss to lift it, chaos ensues.

    Summary

    Arthur saves a magical creature in the woods, earning its eternal gratitude and a favor that he can collect at any time. He doesn’t mean to ever use the favor, but once he becomes King he finds he has no other choice but to summon the creature- Merlin- to his aid.

    But favors aren’t so simple, and the Old Religion always extracts its own price.

    Summary

    Eventually, someone in Uther's Camelot was going to decide the so-called "dog" was too clever for its own good. They'd take a long look and realise that "pet" fit the creature far less comfortably than "familiar", and Merlin's secret would be out.

    Merlin finds a puppy in the woods. Against his better judgement, Arthur lets him keep it. In the end, that simple decision saves them all.

    Based on the word "Surrender" For Natty

    Summary

    'Magic is as much part of nature as the earth, sea and sky. Other sorcerers who sought out the circle found that their power developed certain affinities. Their abilities became tied to the cycle of the year. There would be one season at which their power was at its peak and another where it lay almost dormant. They became more closely connected to the natural ebb and flow of the world.'

    'But?'

    'But they were not Emrys. His strength is beyond anything in living memory, and the heights he could reach are, as yet, unknown.' Aglain spread his hands, his shoulders rolling in a graceful shrug. 'I can only tell you that the Tir Na Lei means no harm. Three is the number: the ritual is set. The circle will not call on Emrys again.'

    ______

    In a Camelot where Arthur is king and magic is permitted once more, Merlin's power begins to change. Can he and Arthur overcome the challenges thrown their way, or will their relationship be forever changed by the ordeal?

    Summary

    Arthur gave Merlin his cloak thinking only of the warmth it would offer in a snowstorm. He never thought his manservant may be mistaken for him and snatched by bandits. Nor did he expect his dashing rescue of Merlin to turn his world so utterly on his head.

    Because the bandits hadn't kidnapped a prince. They'd snatched a sorcerer, and now captivity is the least of anyone's problems.

    A golden age awaits, but can they claim it together, or are they doomed to fail?
