    Summary

    *This is directly related to TicketyBooOO's story, Six Interlocking Rings! Please read that to understand what's happening*
    Based directly after chapter 21: Shining Armor.

    It was a given that something would go wrong on their trip to Duke Whitman's land. It was Merlin, something always went wrong. The only issue was that he was with Arthur and his soulmates, meaning there was no way he could use his magic to get them out.

    But things go from bad to much much worse when someone along their captor's ranks recognizes Merlin as Emrys. To bad it wasn't before it was decided Merlin would be the easiest to break for information.

    Summary

    Merlin is not oblivious to what is said about him around the castle, especially after years and years of gossiping with Gwen.

    “That boy can’t serve a drink to save his life.” Someone might say. “Why does King Arthur keep him around?”

    And, thankfully, the answer is never “He’s a powerful warlock destined to protect King Arthur while he unites Albion and brings magic back to the land.”

    No.

    Instead, they might say “He services the King in ways the rest of us can’t.”

    Or “Have you not noticed how close he is to some of the knights? I wouldn't be surprised to learn he’s being kept around as a mattress warmer.”

    “I saw him sneaking out of Sir Leon’s chambers early one morning. You can’t blame a noble knight for making use of such a service.”

    And sometimes…

    Sometimes Merlin wishes it were as simple as that. Not the part about bedding members of the court out of some misguided sense of duty, of course. But the part about being able to keep his relationships casual. Unattached. When the truth is that Merlin falls far too hard far too easily.

    And he’s been giving away little pieces of his heart since his very first week in Camelot.

    Summary

    The old man grinned, raising his arms and shaking his long sleeves down his wrists to expose his gnarled hands. "Close your eyes, my lord." The title from Dragoon’s mouth sounded much the way it did from Merlin’s; heavy with sarcasm.

    "I'm not a child," Arthur snapped, but did as he was bid. He heard nothing, but he could feel the magic rising around them in the stone circle again, warming his skin—though it was only now that goosebumps arose on his arms.

    "Arthur, my darling boy." A new voice came, unfamiliar to him.

     

    Canon Era AU—Ygraine being called, however briefly, from beyond the veil was a gift given. Only an ancient, powerful sorcerer could command such magic...
