Summary
An AU of the season 4 finale, wherein Arthur refuses to abandon his castle during Morgana's seige, and Merlin refuses to use magic to take away Arthur's will, so they're at an impasse.
Rather than break his moral code to bewitch Arthur, Merlin decides to break his secrecy. If Arthur doesn't want to leave his Castle... fine. They won't. Merlin will just have to take it back for him... and all that entails.

Bookmarker's Notes
Amazing start, but everything after Merlin Summons Kilgarrah at the Tavern feels flat and poorly developed.

Summary
“Welcome to Wales, Mr. American,” Merlin says.
“Thanks,” Sam says. “That’s alright, though, I don’t want to be takin’ your magic coins.”
“She’s lucky,” Merlin says.
“I make my own luck."
“So give it to your man,” Merlin says. “It’s bad luck to turn down a gift from a Welshman.”
“Is it?”
The coin gleams, too shiny, too yellow, too gold to be real.
“Maybe not. I’m a special case,” Merlin says.

Summary
A fill for this prompt at kinkme_merlin: Merlin goes through a lot of trauma and has gotten very used to hiding it, moving on (or at least appearing to), and coping silently and without anyone noticing, because most of the time no one can know something happened. One day something traumatic happens to him, which everyone knows about, and everyone is waiting for Merlin to snap, only for him to...not. Arthur is caught between worried and suspicious, and sets about to get to the bottom of this.

Gwaine 'borrows' Merlin to be his sparring partner in preparation of whatever. Arthur laughingly agrees. The easy morning spar doesn't go quite how Gwaine expected.
