Summary
'Merlin?' he began, casting a frown in his manservant's direction. 'Why is your druid name on this shrine?'
'I don't have a druid name. It's just the name the druids call me.' Merlin scowled, no doubt hearing how foolish he sounded. His ears were red – embarrassed, not angry, if Arthur had to guess – and there was a faintly mulish slant to his expression.
'That's nice of them to pray for you,' Gwaine said cheerfully, taking the rock from Arthur's grasp. 'Asking the gods to give you patience to help you deal with the Princess here, no doubt.' He elbowed Arthur in the ribs, grinning as he scowled in response.
When riding out to warn a druid camp of an imminent attack from Uther, Arthur and his knights discover that Merlin is far more than just a sorcerer. Does he have the strength to save one of the Old Gods, or will he perish in the effort?

Summary
'What do you see?' Arthur's murmur pressed against the shell of Merlin's ear, so low that he almost didn't hear it. Warm breath ghosted over his skin, and he glanced his way, delighted anew by the honest, bashful intrigue that gleamed in Arthur's blue eyes.

Summary
The creatures stepped forward, long, narrow muzzles agape. The sun did not deter them, merely setting their subtle scales agleam. Thick saliva dripped from their jaws, smattering on the ground, yet they did not lunge forward to strike. Instead, they waited, their gaze unblinking as they stared.
At first, Arthur thought they watched the knights, but when he shifted his stance, their eyes did not follow him, Instead, it was someone behind him who held them captivated.
Merlin.
-----
A chance encounter with a monster in the woods makes Arthur realise just how powerful Merlin's magic is, and the lengths he would go to in order to keep him safe.

Summary
'Magic will love you,' she whispered, pressing both palms to where Arthur lay curled inside her, almost ready, but not quite. 'With all its heart and of its own free mind, magic will love you, and you will love it in turn.'
When Arthur finds out about Merlin's magic on a hunting trip gone wrong, it feels as if his world has been turned upside down. Yet a mother's love is a powerful thing, and her blessing even more so. Will Ygraine's little gift be enough to help him see that he truly cannot hate half of that which makes him whole?
(AKA the one with the giant boar.)
