Summary
“What’s your story?” Merlin asked, his eyes a bit more gentle than the gazes of a whole group of strangers.
Arthur hesitated, his mouth thick. “…I lost my leg.”
Merlin’s look at him didn’t change; his eyes didn’t go soft and pitying. He didn’t ask invasive questions. Instead, he said “My fiancé died. Here. While I was overseas.”
The bottom fell out of Arthur’s stomach. “Shit.”

Summary
“Merlin?” Arthur squinted at the ridiculously attractive, shirtless, twenty-something in front of him and tried to connect him with his toothy, scrawny playmate who would always fight kids twice his size on the playground. “I – I mean Emmett. Emmett Ambrose. You’re Emmett Ambrose?”
“Fuck,” Emmett – no, it wasn’t Emmett, it was Merlin – gaped at Arthur incredulously. "Holy shit."

Summary
When Merlin opened his eyes to see Uther Pendragon in all his menacing glory standing in the middle of his hospital room, he was almost certain that he must be high on painkillers, because there was no way, there was absolutely no way, that Uther Pendragon was standing in the middle of his hospital room.
“You’re awake,” Uther said, his voice almost pleasant. Merlin was immediately suspicious but the feeling was more muted than he usually felt when Uther showed up unannounced in his life – or rather Arthur’s life that Merlin was intrinsically a part of. Actually, everything was rather muted and hazy, which might be because Merlin was high on painkillers.

Summary
“Yes, right, you deserve rest,” Galen interrupted him. His tone had gone from kind to patronising. “How would you like to rest more comfortably tonight, Merlin?”
“Sorry?”
Galen gave him a pitying look. “I mean that I would enjoy your company tonight, Merlin. Surely the prince hasn’t tired you out completely.”
It took a moment before Merlin understood what he meant. He tore his wrist out of the other man’s grip and took a step back, trying to keep the horrified expression off his face.
“I don’t serve Arthur in that way, nor would I someone else.”Or
A visiting noble propositions to Merlin and does not take Merlin’s rejection well. But Lord Galen’s displeasure pales compared to Arthur’s fury.

Summary
Bella Baggins agrees to marry Thorin Oakenshield to save the people of Ered Luin from starvation.
Drenched, Thorin’s eyes seemed to gleam, as he looked from one dwarf to another. There was fresh blood on his temple, a cut somewhere near the hairline. The beautiful clasps of his coat were covered in grime.
“How many,” he snapped, and this time it was no question but an order.
