Summary
There's a place up north, they call it the Valley of the Waters, where villagers appear dead on their doorsteps. Despaired, hopeless, there is noone else to turn to but the king of Camelot. It's a three day ride to the valley, four days before the next person dies, and years of history between him and Merlin. It's on Arthur not to drown in it.

Summary
To say Arthur was having a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day was putting it lightly. It started out with the pixie in the pantry, which sounded like one of Gwaine’s inane drinking songs but was in actuality an unmitigated disaster of flour, chaos, flying apples, and wasted pastries…
…
An unfortunate incident with a pixie leads to Arthur and Merlin swapping bodies for a day. When Merlin’s closely guarded secrets surface in the process, it’s up to Arthur to figure out how to proceed. Trust, love, protection, they’re all forms of the same thing, aren’t they? And what of secrets, burdens, and all the lies we keep to ourselves? This is a story about what would happen if we chose to pull off the veil and step, together, into the light.

When Merlin takes a sneaky sip of Arthur’s rare bottle of wine, a gift from a far-away kingdom from a magic vine, he has no idea they both are about to unleash a truth-telling curse that makes every secret come running out. What’s a servant to do when his king starts spilling way more than he ever expected?
*
Or Merlin is a clumsy idiot, Arthur's the king of Camelot, and, of course, upon drinking a truth potion the first thing they reveal is their undying feelings to one another.
*
Or Arthur and Merlin share one brain cell but it's in maintenance.

Summary
Arthur wasn’t sure what this charm would do, if anything, but he’d held it in his hands, and he’d pressed it to his lips, and he’d willed all of his strength and protection and fervent desire for Merlin to be okay into the metal.
He’d broken his father’s laws for Merlin, Uther’s one cardinal rule, and that had to count for something. Arthur just wasn’t sure what.
…
Arthur notices the cuts and bruises on Merlin’s skin and assumes the worst. Out of options, he turns to magic for help.
