Summary
Arthur throwing a banquet for the sorcerers who have helped him over the years to celebrate the legalization of magic is a good idea in theory.
But four of the five people Arthur just asked Merlin to give invitations to are just… different variations of Merlin.
Merlin’s TRYING to explain this to Arthur. But he just. Isn’t. Listening.

Summary
Being an immortal warlock, Merlin is used to spending time alone. Browsing through the curiosities of a wizarding grocery store, he comes face to face with a very familiar face, he thought he'd never see again: his ex from 200 years ago that left him behind on a literal burning stake. The golden-haired prat in all his glory: Arthur F-ing Pendragon.

Summary
"If love is light, then fear is its shadow." - LJ Vanier
Basking in the dawn of the golden age of Camelot, Arthur doesn't question anything when he is given the small token from Gwen and Lancelot's daughter. Why would he? He doesn't see anything wrong with the way his life is heading... Merlin, of course, questions everything, but the arrival of his mother with life changing news puts his questions aside for now.

Summary
"Did you know, Merlin, that you have the most distracting mouth in all the five kingdoms?"
A clatter sounds through the room—Arthur's half-polished hauberk falling to the stone floor—and Merlin squawks, "I have what?"
"And not just because of the nonstop prattle that's always coming out of it," Arthur grouses. "It's just too goddamn pretty. Incompetent manservants are not supposed to have pretty mouths, I'm quite sure there's a rule against it."

Summary
In the morning, Merlin knows, Arthur will don his crown again. But for now their world is only Arthur’s drowsy kisses, and Merlin tracing circles on Arthur’s bare chest, and the night outside is deep and dark and still. There are no conspiracies, no dragons, no prophecies relentlessly unraveling.
Merlin wishes, selfishly, that dawn might never come.
(And the dawn obeys.)

Summary
Arthur had forgiven the magic. He'd forgiven the lies. He'd forgiven the mistakes. He'd forgiven the unintended consequences of actions taken with the best of intentions and the worst of outcomes. But this... this was beyond forgiveness. Post-Camlann.
*.*.*.*.*.*
“He’s not a god, Arthur,” she said quietly.
“Ah. No, you’re right. Of course he’s not a god. Just the all-powerful, immortal incarnation of magic itself. Silly of me to get that confused,” said Arthur.
“This still isn’t his fault, Arthur.”
"Whose, then? Who can I blame, Guinevere?” His mouth tightened. “Who did this to us? And why?”
“I don’t know,” she said, wretchedly. She didn’t. She wished she did. She wished she had someone to blame—almost any scapegoat would do. It would be so much easier if she could hang the guilt around Merlin’s neck.
It would hurt so much less.
He would let her, and never say a word in his own defense.
Maybe that was why she couldn’t bring herself to do it. “I don’t know, Arthur. But… I do know that Merlin didn’t kill our son.”
Arthur’s voice was harsh. “You’re right again. He didn’t.” He turned away. “He just chose not to save him.”
