Summary
Is it a coincidence that the three men in the show who have the greatest effect on destiny all have blue eyes? I think not. The universe is rarely so lazy.
[A series of unconnected one shots ft destiny, doom and blue eyes - but no chicken. For now.]

Summary
“Well, this is the game. It is remarkably simple. You just have to steal Merlin’s neckerchief.” Immediately, complaints erupted from the knights.
“The neckerchief? He always wears it!”
“How are we supposed to steal it?”
“Merlin never takes it off for some reason — no way I’m going to risk my life and find out why!”
“Silence!” Arthur stared at the group, incredulous. “My knights, the most feared in the five realms, are terrified of my manservant?” They hung their heads in shame. “Even a squire probably could nick it off the idiot!”
“Is the squire still alive?” said a knight under his breath. Around him, his fellow brethren nodded their agreement, avoiding Arthur’s eye as he snorted.
“Merlin can be scary, Sire,” tried Lancelot. Arthur still looked like he seriously disagreed with the statement but after seeing the effect one pathetic coward had on a score of knights, he was forced to accept that yes, the Knights of Camelot feared Merlin the Buffoon.
Or 5 times Arthur gets blindsided by Merlin's ingenuity to stop the heists involving his neckerchief and 1 time Merlin gives up.

“Sir Leon, are you hearing yourself?” Arthur tried his hardest not to groan and patiently listened as his First Knight explained eagerly that…
“Mordred is a god, Sire!” nodded Leon. Behind him, Merlin snorted.
“Anything to add, Merlin?” asked Arthur, knowing full well he did indeed have things to say. Arthur just wanted to sleep. He had had one hell of a day filled with back-to-back meetings with nobles and townspeople complaining alike. Being king meant he could never catch a break, it seemed.
“Merlin, you would know who Emrys is, right?” asked Leon, shifting his focus to him. The knights also leaned in, waiting for Merlin’s answer. He took his time folding Arthur’s clothes before finally looking up.
“Yes.”
“It’s Mordred, isn’t it?”
Another long pause and Arthur had half a mind to send his useless servant to the dungeons for the very valid reason of annoying him. “It is,” agreed Merlin and instantly, Leon’s head snapped back to Arthur.
Or Merlin will go to any length to make sure he's not revealed as Emrys. Any length.

Summary
“I think it’s time you joined me on rounds, Merlin,” announced Gaius one morning. “Not home visits yet, but you should watch how I conduct examinations in these chambers first.” Merlin sighed and reluctantly agreed.
“Who’s first?” he asked, plastering on a cheery smile.
“Guinevere,” said Gaius and Merlin frowned. What was wrong with Gwen? She’d seemed quite fine yesterday. “Maybe you should leave for this one. Guinevere may not feel comfortable with you, seeing as she’s your friend.”
As expected, the door to the Physician’s Quarters opened and Gwen entered, looking quite agitated. “Gwen! I’m gonna go, don’t worry,” he added, hoping to relieve her slightly.
Gwen took a seat on the patient’s cot and said, “Merlin, stay.”
“Are… are you sure? You don’t seem very—”
“I’m pregnant,” she blurted, her eyes widening. Merlin froze at the door and turned to Gaius, whose eyebrow rose almost instantaneously.
Or Gwen's reputation is at stake but Merlin is determined to help her. Let's hope everything works out.
