Summary
Arthur didn’t tell Merlin everything his mother’s sigil meant, which never would have been an issue if Merlin could sit still through just one meeting.

Summary
“Please, no,” Merlin begged. His ankle burned like a torch set against his bones, a hot poker in his marrow, like the pyre licking from his feet up to his heart. Instead, he dragged his lower body across the ground, scrabbling with his bare hands, crawling. “Please, Arthur, I didn’t do it to hurt you. I couldn’t tell you—I’m scared. Please, don’t! I never meant, oh goddess, I never meant to—”

Summary
And then there was Arthur, not shouting at him like everyone else, but smiling, and mouthing, ‘Come on, dove’.
Or something like that. Merlin wasn’t that good at lip-reading and Arthur’s lips could be distracting. Maybe he wasn’t mouthing ‘dove’, he was saying… Well, not love, obviously… He was saying come! Like, repeating that Merlin should be joining them.
Yes. Absolutely.
Five times Merlin is called dove and one time he can't side-explain it, no matter how much he tries.

Summary
It was an accident, the first time. He hadn’t meant to do it, the spell had gone wrong and instead of making himself move with cat-like stealth (and thus stopping Arthur complaining he was scaring off all the game on hunting trips) he had managed to turn himself into an actual cat.

Summary
Merlin was young when he came to realise that his soulmate was either really clumsy or lived a chaotic existence.
Being able to take on the injuries of your soulmate is just a fact of life, a fact that Merlin happily accepts as he learns the ins and outs of his healing magic.
But coming to Camelot has disrupted his long held trust in the Fates, for how can someone as bull-headed and arrogant as the prince wear his mark?- Language:
