Summary
Merlin hisses as the harsh metal digs into his wrists. There are rumours that The Mighty Emrys, emphasis on the capital letters, wouldn’t bend to cold iron’s will…and yet. It’s hard to believe such innocent looking metal – or innocent as chains can be – could be the cause of such immutable pain. Don’t get him wrong, Merlin has been through his fair share of injuries and attempts on his life (some more successful than others, thank you immortality) but this? This is unlike anything he’s felt before.
[Merlin's magic is revealed after yet another bandit attack. Arthur doesn't react well. And as it turns out, cold iron is bad, folks! Way angstier than I expected this idea to be. Would you believe me if I said I just want everyone to be happy? No? Okay.]
