Summary
“Where did you learn to do that?” Gwaine asked, following Merlin up the bank.
“This is how normal people fish,” Merlin replied dryly. “Not trying to stab them with swords.”“This is a knife,” Gwaine retorted, sounding every bit as sulky as he felt.
“Still, you didn’t catch a fish.”
------------------------------------------------------Gwaine saves a young Merlin from a beating and ends up with a new little brother to take care of on his travels.
Or, what would Merlin be like if he had Gwaine influencing him over his formative years?

Summary
Merlin, Prince of Dracaneard, only meant to go visit Camelot in secret so he could see the land of prophecy and meet his uncle. He really didn’t intend to save Prince Arthur’s life or be given a job as his manservant for the trouble.
But it’s a good way to get to know the prince who is prophesied to unite Albion and bring back magic by Merlin’s side, isn’t it? And it’s not as if Arthur knows that his newest servant is the crown prince to Camelot’s enemy.
Surely, this won’t turn ten shades of complicated all too soon.

His grief shakes the earth, claws the sky, and tears reality asunder. For the first time in his life he holds nothing back and in his soul he has one desire. A second chance.
His magic complies.

Summary
Escaping Morgana's most recent attempt to end Arthur has the unfortunate result of everyone forgetting that Merlin ever existed. Now alone, Merlin continues to work towards the goal of peaceful magical integration, but he also has to work to find his place again amongst the knights and Arthur. If he's not just Arthur's bumbling servant, is there a chance they could be something more than friends? Or has Fate already written them as a tragedy that can't be avoided? And why won't this stupid fumorroh in his neck die already?
It's not an easy life to be a child of Fate's control. Will Merlin be able to save them or will he bring them all to ruin?
OR
An extremely alternative take on A Servant of Two Masters s4e6.
