Summary
“Grimmond is the third to fail this month. How am I meant to defend Camelot with rubbish like that?” Arthur pulls off his glove with two fingers, tossing it behind him for Merlin to catch.
“I think I might be able to help,” Merlin pipes up.
“You?” Arthur repeats. “What do you know about being a knight? You haven’t the faintest idea what it takes to be one. Courage. Fortitude. Discipline.” Anyone else would take it as an insult, but Merlin just bobs his head in pleasant agreement.
“No, no. Of course I don’t,” Merlin says. “But I know someone who does.”
An ABO retelling of 1x05 Lancelot in which Arthur is threatened by the arrival of a new, too-good-to-be-true alpha in Camelot.

Summary
"You can take Daisy out to fetch the cloak-"
"How do you know that?"
Arthur closed his eyes, expression riddled with irritation before turning to look at Merlin expectantly.
"Know what?"
“The mare I use. You know I call her Daisy? I never told you that." Merlin explained. Arthur stared for a few moments. He could see the flicker of emotions pass easily over him. Anger, annoyance, exasperation, indignance, and finally acceptance...AKA the Five Stages of Grief (Pendragon Edition).
"You talk to the horse.” He pointed out. Merlin narrowed his eyes.
“I whisper to the horse."
"...am I supposed to not hear it?” Arthur asked. Merlin wondered how likely it would be that he also heard him whispering magical spells if he heard him murmuring to the bloody horse. “Also, only you would choose such a ridiculous name.” He muttered. Merlin swallowed. This wasn't a problem at all, right? Right.
Or
Merlin knows Arthur well. Better than he knew himself apparently. What he hadn't expected was for Arthur to know his servant just as well... This causes problems. (also known as "The Time Merlin Had a Mental Breakdown Over Arthur Being a Normal Human")

Summary
Arthur is cursed to obey Merlin’s orders.
Obviously this has very little impact on their lives, since no servant would ever dare give orders to a prince.

Summary
No mortal has ever survived their touch. Arthur knows that if he asks how Merlin survived the Dorocha, Merlin will smile that cheeky grin that doesn't quite reach his eyes. Missing scene/Arthur study for 'The Darkest Hour'.
