Summary
“So what brings you my way?” Gwaine asked. To anyone but Merlin, it might have been startling to hear the man sound so somber, but Merlin knew Gwaine could take life seriously when he wanted to. He played the fun-loving drunk as well as Merlin played the fool, but Gwaine had his demons as well. Maybe that was why Merlin came here instead of Ealdor or wherever Lancelot was at the moment.
Merlin forced himself to look up. “I guess I could just use a friend right now."
When Merlin is banished from Camelot after his magic is revealed, he struggles to believe he has worth outside of Arthur and their supposed destiny together. But Gwaine has always known Merlin deserved better.

Summary
The man was laying on his old bed, which was slightly longer than his mother's. Something about the man was…familiar in fact. His hair, or maybe the line of his jaw. Wait…
"Lancelot?!?"
His mother tried to shush him, but the man obviously wasn't deeply asleep because he immediately woke. His eyes were confused for a moment, but soon he smiled in joy. "Merlin!"

Summary
When Arthur finds out about Merlin’s magic, he banishes him on the spot and sends him back to Ealdor. Well, at least that’s what everybody thinks.
The truth is that Arthur just wants Merlin to be safe, and far away from Camelot, where Uther is becoming more and more ruthless. So, he secretly asks Gwaine to go back to Ealdor with Merlin, to keep an eye on him and make sure he is all right.
Or
Gwaine was just looking forward to spending his spring nights at the tavern, flirting and drinking ale. Instead he now has to juggle between a heartbroken, besotted, overdramatic warlock, and a stubborn, protective, and emotionally constipated prince. Just his luck. His only solution: quickly find a way to bring the two idiots together.

Summary
Two years after Merlin's triumph over the Pendragons and their tyranny he's tired of the pressure and is ready for his fairytale ending. This is brief(ish) look at their lives and a peak at what everyone does with themselves now that they have their freedom and each other. Basically this is an overly long Epilogue, or too short third book.
Either way this is our last look at their lives and the peace they have found------
As stated above this is number 3! Nothing in this will make much sense with out the context of the other parts! But by all means have a look if you want lol

Summary
Arthur watched, unable to fully comprehend the events that had seemingly just crashed and burned in front of him rather than calmly unfold. He turned to look at the other knights who only shrugged as Mordred sank lower into his seat, lips pressed into a pout as he picked at his food.
“I…” He started and paused, taking a moment to gather his thoughts “Why do you want Merlin to like you so badly?” He finally sighed. Mordred stopped playing with his food, glancing up before looking at the door the servant in question had exited through
“Because he’s Merlin.” He said as if that provided any sort of answer.
Arthur didn’t deserve this. He did his best to be a good person. Maybe this was some kind of divine intervention saying he needed to up his charity game. He needed to give the lower town a bigger tax break or something. Perhaps ride out and save three more damsels than usual.
"He has a point," Gwaine piped up as he inhaled another mead "He is Merlin."
Or
Merlin hates Mordred and Mordred is determined to put an end to that. Arthur is convinced that this child is after his man.- Language:

Summary
“You don’t trust me,” the same intense eyes looked at him from under a fringe of dark hair, although this time the voice was spoken rather than resounding in his mind. “I was just an angry child,” damning, always damning, portraying Merlin’s faults and failings in simple words, the dedication he offered to Arthur above all, the people he had sacrificed, the mistakes he had made all laid bare in simple words that did not even have anything to do with the King. “Will you resent me for the rest of my life? Your life?”
