Summary
Merlin suffers a small accident that turns him into a five-year-old kid. While Gaius works on an antidote, Arthur agrees to take care of Merlin, unaware that he will embark on a crazy week in which, thanks to this strange and at the same time familiar child, he will get to know his servant better and begin to understand what he really feels for Merlin.
This is a tale full of Arthur being protective, of Merlin being Merlin, and of the two of them being the best duo in the history of television. It contains magically appearing chickens, overly sincere children, princes wanting to be swallowed up by the earth, veiled confessions, bedtime stories, entrenched secrets and agonizing doubts. Featuring Gwen being the kindest and most generous soul in Camelot and Lancelot and Gwaine being the great friends that they always are. The rest of the knights, Gaius, and a decrepit Uther complete the scene.
Warning: in this story everyone adores Merlin. After all, isn't this what the original show is about?

Summary
Arthur watched, unable to fully comprehend the events that had seemingly just crashed and burned in front of him rather than calmly unfold. He turned to look at the other knights who only shrugged as Mordred sank lower into his seat, lips pressed into a pout as he picked at his food.
“I…” He started and paused, taking a moment to gather his thoughts “Why do you want Merlin to like you so badly?” He finally sighed. Mordred stopped playing with his food, glancing up before looking at the door the servant in question had exited through
“Because he’s Merlin.” He said as if that provided any sort of answer.
Arthur didn’t deserve this. He did his best to be a good person. Maybe this was some kind of divine intervention saying he needed to up his charity game. He needed to give the lower town a bigger tax break or something. Perhaps ride out and save three more damsels than usual.
"He has a point," Gwaine piped up as he inhaled another mead "He is Merlin."
Or
Merlin hates Mordred and Mordred is determined to put an end to that. Arthur is convinced that this child is after his man.- Language:
