Summary
It was well known that King Arthur's natality was not a joyous occasion for him. There was a feast and celebration, of course, but it was overshadowed by the ghosts of both his parents and the pressure of the kingdom weighing down on his shoulders.
Guinevere and Merlin had determined to make this year different.

Summary
"Merlin," Arthur said, loving the way the name curled on his tongue. "We've been talking about you lately."
"About how much you mean to both of us," Gwen agreed, placing her hands on Merlin's shoulders. "We hoped we might mean as much to you."
"You do," Merlin replied hurriedly. "You—the two of you, you're everything to me but—what is this?"

Summary
Merlin will never be entirely able to explain his thoughts and actions of that day, but he will remember standing there; Gwen in his arms, his lips still tingling with her kiss, and only the hungry beast of desire left in his mind—that he wants her, and he ought to want her, and she belongs to him—
And then Arthur stares him in the face, steel in his hand and betrayal in his eyes, and the fog clears.
And Merlin has no idea what he’s just done.
Or: Instead of Lancelot, Morgana enchants Merlin and Gwen to betray Arthur together on the eve of their wedding.

Summary
"Do you think you can spend an evening without insulting Merlin?”
Arthur looks as if the very idea is anathema to him. “It’s not insults,” he says. “It’s—”
“Your very own idea of courtship,” Gwen says. “But I’ve another idea. And it involves being very, very nice to Merlin. Didn’t you see the way he was flustering just now? He’s used to your barbed comments, Arthur, he has practically grown up with them. Didn’t you like the sight of him, all flushed from praise?”
“I’m not—” Arthur says, and abruptly cuts himself off as his own face goes pink. “I suppose so.”
“Here’s what we do,” Gwen starts.
Or: Gwen and Arthur set out to court a reluctant Merlin. Fortunately, Gwen knows exactly how Merlin wants to be loved.
