Summary
When Merlin and Arthur set out to hunt down a monster, a run-in with a sorcerer leaves Arthur under a curse. Darkness lingers on the horizon, and there may be more to the reporters of the beast lingering in the shadows. With rumours of a rebellion mounting, Camelot needs her King. Merlin does what he must.
“Arthur,” Merlin said quietly. “I’m your Court Sorcerer.”
Arthur’s stomach flipped. The noise of the birds and shifting branches was drowned by a wave of anger ringing in his ears. “Magic,” he spat.
Enchantment—that’s what it was. That was why nothing made sense. This Merlin had messed with his mind. Arthur should have known better; he’d trusted so easily. Magic, surely, had poisoned his thoughts. Even now, what dark shadows were playing tricks with his wits?

Summary
L's good at solving cases. He's been doing it his whole life - plotting points, following strings to see where they lead - even if he can't remember any of it. So when he wakes up from a coma with no memory, nothing to go off of except the smirking boy who won't leave him alone, he's hardly worried. After all, what is this other than a new case?

Summary
As a child, Arthur didn’t know why he was kept away from the courtyard.
Or why it so often smelt… like that.
Until one morning, Sir Kay guided him to the balcony he’d only been allowed on sometimes. Only sometimes, because it looks over the courtyard.
His father was waiting for him, holding an arm out to beckon him closer. Arthur rushed in, latching himself onto his father’s side as it was so rarely permitted.
There was a crowd below him; he had never seen so many people in one place.
There was a pile of wood.
He remembers little outside of the way his eyes burned, how he at last understood that smell. He remembers forcing down his supper that night and emptying his stomach in the corridor before he could even reach his room.
Now he remembers it all.
He can’t feel the bruising stones under his knees, hardly tastes the leftover bile coating his mouth.
All he knows is the all-consuming realization that his greatest fear and anguish still holds the throne, even in his heart.

Summary
When Hunith arrives in Camelot with news of an attack, Merlin knows what he has to do. He is perfectly capable of driving away the likes of Kanen’s men by himself; he has been defending Ealdor since he was ten years old.
However, he has no idea of the lengths Arthur will go to to protect his poor, misguided manservant - such as adopting a disguise and following him home.
