Summary
The king was being an annoying arse, as per usual. Merlin had pulled a prank on said prat, which was more usual than either Gaius or Arthur would've liked. He escaped to the castle's library, hiding away until a cursed fairytale fell on his head, which was not so usual.
Oh, and Lancelot might have been raised by fairies.

Summary
“Lancelot,” Merlin whispered, taking care not to disturb any of the other knights, all of whom were sleeping around the slowly dying fire. “Are you awake?”
“Yes,” Lancelot whispered back, shuffling around on his bedroll to turn and face Merlin. His eyes shone like beacons in the darkness of the forest.
Merlin cleared his throat. “Are you, um, warm enough?”
Lancelot smiled. “Are you?”
“Me? I’m fine. Toasty, even,” Merlin protested.
“You’re shivering,” Lancelot pointed out.
“Maybe a bit.” Merlin smiled sheepishly. It was a mild enough night, but he didn’t have the benefit of the layers the knights wore: the thick wool gambesons or the heavy velvet cloaks.
He picked at the frayed edge of the scratchy linen blanket he had packed, hardly warm enough to protect him from the chill.“Would you— uh, that is, I was wondering—”
“Merlin,” Lancelot interrupted, not unkindly.
“Could I, maybe—”
“If you’re asking me whether we can share warmth, the answer is yes, Merlin.”

Or: Merlin and Lancelot huddle for warmth.

Summary
"MERLIN!" Arthur shouted on his way to the door before opening it with a bang.
As he caught sight of another figure, a glimpse of a naked shoulder, Arthur stopped in his tracks: he did not think Merlin might have been busy entertaining company. He always reprimanded Merlin for not knocking, yet here he was, barging into a couple's room.
Arthur distinctly remembered that Lancelot stayed with Merlin all those years back. He just didn't think they were this close, hadn't considered the logistics of living together in such a small room. He should have known: it had only one bed. Forgive him for thinking, after being at Merlin's home village, that Lancelot slept on the floor.
Or, in the aftermath of reclaiming the Citadel from Morgana's forces, various knights find their way to Merlin's room to find him asleep in Lancelot's arms.

Summary
The sorcerer's face turned ashen at the sight of a hickey, and the fire extinguished just as quickly as it began.
"You are marked by Emrys," his voice quivered under the rustle of a careful retreating step. "I seek no quarry with Him. I must… away."
Then he turned and ran. Lancelot stared, confused, at the fleeing figure.
