    Summary

    Life in Camelot has been hard after Morgana's betrayal, but when new snow covers the fields and the castle halls get a little too stuffy, Merlin convinces Arthur to go on a trip to unwind in the wintry beauty. Little does he know that since it's the Winter Solstice, his magic is significantly weakened, leaving him with no protection when bandits attack them. Worse, a snowstorm arrives, cutting them away from Camelot and any proper medical equipment.

    Now, it is up to Arthur and the knights to save Merlin and make sure he stays warm.

    Written for the WinterKnights fest 2025!

    Summary

    AU for s03e11, specifically the scene with the two brutes who try to bully Merlin.

    Merlin was thirteen when he found out all about the unspoken hungers of men. His mother had cradled him in her arms afterwards, cheeks wet with fresh tears as she brushed a small trembling hand through his hair and hummed an old lullaby. It’d been his favourite once, about a young dragon enamoured with the sun — he flew so high and nigh he singed his scales in its halo-fire.
    Merlin dried his eyes in his mother’s tunic and put up his first mental wall that day.
    It wasn’t his last.
    It starts like any other day, aside from the fact it is anything but, and tonight, one other wall shall be erected, brick after brick and conjured mortar, to join the rest.
